You deserve massive credit for your thoroughness and for not giving up! I lost the will to live about a third of the way through! Boiled eggs: take eggs. Put in pan of cold water. Bring to boil. Boil for 3 mins for soft/4 mins for medium/5 -6 mins for hard. Run cold water over eggs. Roll eggs over hard surface pressing to crack the shell all over. Peel. Think I'll stick to this method 😄
I have this set of Egglettes without the holder.. I tried your final solution for my hardboiled tonight.. 16 minutes after I sprayed heavily, not with Pam, but with an Olive Oil spray.. It was glorious.. they popped right out... Thank you sir for your trial and error. I was about to put mine in a yard sale.. Not anymore.. Deviled eggs for me...
Yep. A bit of a waste of time and money ! In the time it takes to get the 'perfect' hard boiled egg I could have gone to market, bought some chickens 🐔 and waited for them to lay !
My grandma is in her 80's and got a set, she loves them. She stopped making boiled eggs about 5 years ago because she can't peel the shells off anymore, destroying half the eggs trying to get them off, but with these she's finally able to make them again. I use them for scrambled eggs personally when I go over to help take care of my grandpa, and I like them almost as much as she does. Personally, the only complain that I had, and she had it as well, is that you only get enough for half a dozen, which kinda sucks whenever you like to make eggs by the dozens.
I'm in my 70's with mobility and tremor problems and found the Eggies to be more trouble than they are worth. But, because I know many elderly people with lots of mobility issues and tremors, I can see how these would help some and not others. Thanks for bringing this up!
I have that same egg-shaped timer. You have to "wind" it all the way up by taking it to the full 60 minutes, then crank BACK to the desired time. If you don't do that, you get what you got. Because "winding" for just the 3 or 5 minute range is not enough to get it to ring.
I was looking for egg molds. These... maybe if peeling is a problem for the user. But they are not appetizing in appearnce for any party setting ; but I bet soft boiled turn out great. For storage space use, cleaning. Too many extra steps. And my devil eggs that look that way are dog snacks
For people who have arthritis in their hands, this is a great product. Peeling the shell off a hard boiled egg can be a very tough job when your hands hurt. I think I'm going to buy these. Thanks a lot for your great review. I sure appreciate it.
I've got the Egglettes and love them. I use Pam, and my finger to make sure it's totally covered. I break the eggs in a glass first to make sure I don't get a bad egg or a piece of shell then pour it in. So far I haven't needed a spoon to get them to come out. The greatest thing is that I don't have to peel the egg! I highly recommend the Egglettes!
😂 I have been using the egglettes for making large ice cubes because I bought them at the thrift shop with no instructions or recipes. Didn't realize what they actually were used for or how. Thanks for your help with this. I will still use some of the silicone egglettes for ice cubes that are perfect for a long hot summer day 😊
Cause nothing says cooking eggs fast like cracking them into a new container, pitting them all together, cooking them and then removing the container. Or you can just put the whole egg in the water.
I found this vid because TH-cam decided I needed to see it. Usually I am pretty skeptical of TH-cam reviewers, but you seemed to actually make the effort to determine if your results were the product or the way it was used. It's a good review and more accurate than most. Nice job.
Just an FYI, for all the timers of that type I personally have owned your supposed to turn it all the way and then go back to the time you want it set to, this 'loads' the internal spring which is what makes the timer bell ring! Keep the vids coming, I LOVE in depth reviews
love your sound effects improv! Thanks for the demo. I hate peeling hard boiled eggs especially when I need a bunch for making potato salad (you have to peel the taters too). I used coconut oil to grease the Egglettes and it worked really well so if you don't like pam or airisol cans this works too.
I hard boil eggs in an Instant Pot. Never been easier. Easy to regulate how done you want the eggs. The best part is removing the egg shells. The shells practically slide off with little effort. No sprays, cleaning is a breeze. Love it. Enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Very helpful....thank you. I had purchased an off brand on Amazon and it didn't come with ANY instructions of any kind....absolutely no paperwork. Thankfully I found your video and it was very helpful!
Not sure if anyone already said, but the red timer is old school type non electronic. You have to wind it past the point needed then back to set whatever time you need. The further you wind it the longer the bell will sound. Hope that made sense... LOL Short example: need 2 min, turn to 15or20min then back to the 2 min mark. It will be loud and should work well. Thanks for sharing the review, I love watching these!
I just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU!!! For doing these reviews! I love your channel because it shows the truth about these sometimes "Too Good to be true" products & has saved me from buying crappy products that don't work as advertised or at all! Keep up the awesome work! Subscribed & shared!
It totally is! They do work but....cleaning them is more work than peeling. I would recommend them for say, somebody (like another commenter) who said her grandma can’t peel anymore, though. It’d be good for really fresh eggs too, those annoying ones that don’t peel well.
I bought these and they are absolutely great! Your rub a little bit of cooking oil inside each one making sure it's completely covered, boil your water drop them in put the lid on for 15 minutes take them out let them cool down they come out beautiful to pop them out you push your finger down on the bottom of it to get it loose then you squeeze them out I love these things!
My wife purchased from an ad on fb. She paid $31 for 6. They did not come with the cool little egg holder that you had, nor did they come with a timer. She could have purchased only 3 but that would have cost her $15. OH....and it did not come with instructions whatsoever. They did not pop like the advertisement. She had to scrap them out with a knife and there was residue. Now, she watched your review after trying to make them. She agrees that you must spray the poo out of the silicon to get them to slide out. She doesn't have to crack, roll and peel any more. She gives them a 4 rating only because she had no instruction or the extras that yours came with. Plus she paid way more then you did for what you received. Thank you for the review. We are now subscribers to your channel.
With those egg timers, you are supposed to give them a good turn, to winde them up, and then go to the time you want. Without winding them correctly the timer ticks slower and rings like a depressed clock. Wind them up, give them a full turn and then go to your 2-3 minutes. With a full turn, the timer runs correctly, with the right power and also rings much louder.
I love my Egglettes! I have been successfully using them to make egg-salad sandwiches for years. The best thing about them is not having to removing all the bits and pieces of the shell after the eggs are cooked. I spray them as suggested with about three sprays per egg. I noticed that when you were cleaning them that you left the silicone cup in the red plastic ring. I don't have the holder, I just suspend my Egglettes in the water using some bamboo chopsticks. LOVE YOUR REVIEWS! 👍🧡👍 😎
I ordered these and did not really have the same issues you had. There was no sticking to the insides but I did use PAM spray on them. I know they are saying that this can be used for any eggs and they can, but I think that they are best utilized when using something like eggbeaters or just a jar a egg whites. Anyway, I like them and they helped me out when taking care of my aging parents ( no eating shells). I could make a batch for the week on Sunday and not have to worry about it while at work.
Just a tip using mechanical egg timer. You always have to turn the clock fully and then select the time you want it to count. 1. Wind the clock to the max (60 minutes) 2. Turn the timer to desired minutes (like 8 minutes for example) Works every time.
I just learned of these little thingies and actually did a youtube search to see if anyone (or you specifically) had done any reviews on them. Lo and behold...there you are! Many thanks...I think I will try them.
Thanks for the review! I see the Egglettes gadget at my Walgreens for $9.99. Tempted to buy it but after watching your review I think I'll just stick to boiling eggs the old fashioned way.🥚🍳
I know I'm several months behind and this has nothing to do with the product. But when I make deviled eggs, I spoon the yolk mixture into a sandwich baggy and use the baggy like a frosting bag by cutting one of the corners off. You get the perfect amount into each egg and it looks good too. Just a tip for anyone who happens to see this comment. I like your videos. keep it up
Great review, as always! A friend and I tried Eggies a few years ago and had a blast..never laughed so hard in our lives! Eggies had teeny thin 'gaskets' which had to be oiled separately and kept getting lost on our counter because they were almost transparent. (We lost two of the gaskets forever when we were cleaning up.) No matter how well we oiled or sprayed the insides, egg stuck to the plastic. In a side by side, Eggies vs boiling eggs the old fashion way, we had cleaned up and were eating deviled eggs just as the Eggies were finished cooking. When faced with cleaning out those Eggies again and losing more gaskets, we decided to throw the Eggies in the trash. LOL People have dealt with imperfect hard boiled eggs since forever and lived through it. There are tips and tricks on the internet for getting them out of the shell. Time spent looking for and trying those tips is faster and easier than using the Eggie. I don't see that the Eglette is better. Why spend more time preparing and cleaning an extra kitchen gadget? Gadgets should make life easier!!!!!!
Just got a few of these egglettes from a friend and while looking up how to use them came across this. It was very helpful. I used mine and found that pinching the bottom of the item before taking off the top loosened them so that they popped out cleanly. Thanks for the info. I'm now binging the rest of your video.s great stuff!
I don't know if it's because I'm from Canada but here our hens lay eggs that have kind of a shell around them so we don't need any silicone thingy for hard boiled eggs. We just have to remove the shell once they're done though. 🙂
Love your channel, found it about 2 weeks ago and cant stop watching :). About that timer, every time you use it you have to first twist it all the way and then return it to what time you need. So if you need 2min, you twist it to 60min, and then return it to 2min, so it will have power to ring and be more accurate.
Great review thank you! One thing I would say is that they would be very good to use if you aren't sure how fresh your eggs are exactly, you are cracking them and seeing/smelling what's inside before cooking which could be useful depending on the situation! 😁
I was always told to put your eggs in water. If they sink and lay on there side they are fresh. If they sink and stand on their end they are less fresh but still ok to eat. If they float to the top they are rotten, please throw out. Never gotten sick off an egg yet and don’t have to smell rotten eggs.
I just bought the egglets from Walmart. There were four in a pack and they did not come with a timer or the holder. I washed them thoroughly and used them this morning. The problem I ran into was they started to tilt without having a holder when in the pot after several minutes. I ended up putting a butter knife through two of the little handles and draping it across the edges of the pot so that they wouldn't turn over. This works efficiently tho a bit of a hassle. I used olive oil in mine and spread it around generously with my finger but I wasn't able to just pop them out. I found if I inserted a spoon just into the tip it broke the seal and then they would pop out. I didn't need to go all the way around with the spoon. I started out with cooked sausage and egg and cheese and did them for 13 minutes. They didn't quite get done as much as I wanted so the upper end of the hard boiled egg time is better for eggs that have other ingredients I found for my taste. They got thoroughly done that way and they tasted great. Other than tipping over in the water while boiling they worked exactly as I expected and I had no residue issues after they were popped out. But thanks for your video, it was great. I didn't even know they came with a little holder but I would say for me that would be worth the extra cost. I used my microwave timer. I wish it came with a smaller holder because that looks like it will only fit in a big pot and if you only want to do a couple you have to boil a lot of water for that so that seems a bit wasteful. But thanks again for your video. It was very detailed. I'm going to try hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs next time and see how that comes out. I have to agree with you about the funky way they cut them. But they look a little open-ended if you cut them the Long Way unlike if you boil them in the shell. That's going to be interesting.
I recently bought the 4 pk of egglettes. I had same issue with oil the first time, sticking, residue, egg white being kind of broken up....just made some more and we'll see how those come out. Thanks for the video - helpful information :) Positives I can say about the eggs? I like how they come out with oil...adds a new element to the boiled egg. I liked not having to crack and peel the egg - that's always a pain - especially when the shell sticks. I guess if you're looking for hard boiled eggs and not too picky - these are a good investment. I appreciate the product. :)
I’ve been watching you for a good 3 months and I have to say it reviews are great and they don’t sugarcoat any thing and u deserve more subs in my opinion 😂
I bought these and used olive oil cooking spray, they worked perfectly, popped right out with no residue at all on the silicone. I think they're great, egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs for me!!
I used mine yesterday for Potato salad I was making and made 1 as a scrambled egg with ham and cheese in it, to break up and put on toast, it was so darn good. A whole lot easier (for the potato salad) than worrying about having to peel them all later on! I always use a squirt of olive oil Spray in the, and use a tooth pick in the middle to double check how well done they are and then run the blunt end between the egg and silicone to help pry it out. But it works well. You just don't want much oil at all, you don't want any of it pooling at the bottom or the egg can end up frying in there a bit, which is why he was having trouble cleaning his out at first. You are best just putting some on a paper towel and wiping the inside over with it.
I have some silicone egg cups I bought at least 5 years ago and found just a bit of water in the bottom worked better than oil or cooking spray - even when microwaving them. With the water in the bottom of the cup it comes up around the eggs when you drop them in. Mine came without lids so I was looking at these. With the lid it seemed to me that you would get an effect similar to a coddled egg. Thanks for all the info you present in your easy to follow vid.
That scrambled egg one, if it was gray, it would look just like the eggs from the movie Alien😂That texture😝Your southern roots kicked in making those deviled eggs. Great seeing Cathy too. Thanks for the review😃
Dennis Boylan, good or bad, it's still a joke. I didn't research the origins of deviled eggs. He lived in the south, it was a inside joke, how about that. Hundreds of comments here and your job is to analyze each one, that's pretty sad/pathetic😂
Boy, I had completely different results with mine. 9 minutes with PAM spray came out perfectly soft boiled and they popped out without much effort, mostly without the requirement of a spoon. Didn't get the timer or the collar. Just use the electronic timer on my microwave/ oven and pop them into a pot of boiling water independently. I LOVE mine. I'm easily having soft boiled eggs every day and NO shells to crack! Yummy!
YUCK!! You didn't cook the eggs long enough for deviled eggs. There should be no discoloring in the yolk. As I suspected, I don't think this product is worth it if you want a pure, good looking egg, but still a great review of an inferior product. Thank you for your hard work.
I loved your demonstration. I've watch a number of these and yours was the best. It's great that you showed the issues and how to work through them. I used eggies and hated them as the eggs were tough to get into them and then they stuck and were hard to clean after. Eggletts work better and since I saw your video before my first use I had no problems. So my thanks to you for the detail and I've subscribed to your channel for more.
Thanks again for your, always enjoyable, review! I haven't (and won't) try the Egglettes. But I DID try the Eggies. Dismal failure. They were too limited in the size egg that they would hold, tended to overflow, and were basically a pain to clean up. Much easier in both method and cleanup to just boil the eggs the way I always have, in the shell, without worrying about how large an egg I need to use, peel UNDER running water (right under the faucet nozzle), and make lovely deviled eggs. I can kind of see a use for something like this if you are planning to serve the egg in the cooking container, but otherwise it just seems to be adding unnecessary complication and effort to an otherwise fairly simple process.
I am so glad that I came across your informative video. I ordered a set last week, hasn't arrived yet, but I'm glad to know how to work it when it does get here. Thank you so much.
"After day 4 of Life Alert, I've racked up $11,000 in ambulance costs and one charge of Misusing Emergency Services." Tell us in the comments how it worked for you.
Thank you for the review. I was looking at getting this product for my rather particular mom and I think she will like it. More cleanup but less work to eat it since she has to peel the egg then scrape the yolk out for her liking. Thanks!
Still inferior experience to just cooking the eggs in the shells, then you don't have to worry about washing those plastic containers or possible transfer of plastic to your eggs, over time. Thanks for doing these reviews. This channel is invaluable. Just discovered it today and subscribed already.
I dont see the point of cracking an eggshell to put an egg in an egg shaped silicone shell that i have to clean after using it can somebody give me the pros of this product? But the video was still great ☺️
They exist because people, and especially the elderly, have a hard time peeling off the shell from hard boiled eggs done the traditional way without destroying the eggs in the process. My grandma bought a set and loves them because it's the first time in half a decade that she's been able to cook boiled eggs without having somebody else's help. The only complaint I have is that they don't give you a full dozen.
I just don't understand why you can't just poach eggs the regular way if the water is already going to be boiling, or why you can't just crack the eggs into a muffin tin and bake them! Because it's going to give you a similar shape to these things (flat bottomed, etc) but you only have to clean one tray!
you could even put the muffin tin into a bain marie and basically boil them in the oven with less risk of dumping water on yourself as an elderly person.
The easiest way to get the egg out is to oil spray the inside and boil a full 15 minutes in already boiling water. Put in pot of cool water. Not for long. Like a few minutes. As they are cooling you simply squeeze the silicone bottom tipping the egglette upside down. KEEPING THE SCREW TOP LID TIGHTENED STILL. Just a slight squeeze to release the pressure on the inside. There is a tiny hole on top of the lid that when you’re slightly squeezing the air out of the lid of the container, the egg will release from the bottom without residue. Then while keeping your egglette upside down loosen the lid. Your egg on the inside will be loose on the inside and will plop right out. No spoon needed and your shell less hard boiled egg is perfect! Just a simple hot water rinse and you can boil again.
I got some of these. Today I tried them for the first time. I out of Pam, so I tried vegetable shortening. I got a little on my fingers and rubbed it all over the inside of the Egglettes. They all popped out leaving no egg behind.
First thank you ! Your channel is great; you relay get to know your product. The only reason I got Egglettes is because my autistic child will only eats hard boiled eggs, but the whites only. She will not eat them unless there is no yellow on the white. So I plan on making whites only. With your product testing I sure I will have great success.
JakeSnake07 lmao, I dont see whats so hard about boiling eggs... Peeling the skin? U just smash it against a hard surface and it it basically comes off by itself... If anything this device is a lot harder to use... U have to wash it, etc...
Thanks for being so in depth and trying different things with them. It was so helpful. I wasn't going to get these but my mom had gotten them but was disappointed they couldn't go in the microwave. So, I ended up taking them off her hands.
I purchased these recently but hadn't used them yet so this is super helpful. going to do a ramen tonight with a nice 10 minute semi-runny egg. this product is for me, I've tried every hack and simply cannot peel a shell cleanly! I am excited to try to add different omelette elements to a hard boiled egg, thinking some cooked bacon chunks, cheese and chives! definitely makes for an ugly deviled egg, maybe wouldn't serve them to company but for a midnight snack I'm all about it! great vid, thank you! honestly I saw the preview and thought "16 MINUTES?" then I sat rapt through the whole thing.
I appreciate this video review as I have been considering the purchase but also hesitant. Watching your reviews on Egglettes is quite a value and I will be keeping everything that was shown on your review in mind. Thank you so much.
I watched the Egglettes commercial after seeing your video and I swear those 'cooked eggs' they showed "popping" out of their contraption were regular hardboiled eggs they used. They had that peeled egg shape. They used that popping sound and one of the eggs popped out and THEN you heard the popping sound....which tells me the entire commercial is a LIE! They used hardboiled eggs, put them into their 'egglette' and simply lifted the egglette off of the boiled eggs and then added the nice 'popping' sound at the wrong times. What a sham! Thank you so much for YOUR review! I think this item might be useful to some people, but I preferred the standard method of boiling eggs after all. :-)
I bought mine at the Dollar Tree for a buck and used them twice without any problems but I returned to my old ways thereafter. If you don't like peeling eggs, then get a set. But, I like to boil a dozen and leaving them in the fridge for a week to peel and eat as needed. If they are pre-peeled their storage life would be limited to only a few days I suspect. But, I might use them again to make egg salad sandwiches to avoid peeling.
My wife and I eat a lot of eggs on the "Paw-Paw" diet but I personally dislike boiled eggs (can't get passed the texture of the egg white, albumen). We bought the Egglettes a couple of week ago and didn't have any of the problems you had. We decided to get the Egglettes to make "hard-boiled' omelettes. The only problem we had was that the Egglettes would fill up with water when we boiled them. The egg was still edible but it would shrink to about half what it should be. The solution was to boil them at a very slow boil so the water didn't agitate the Egglettes as much and no water got in the vent hole at the top. We didn't get the "deluxe" version so no holder to keep them from bobbing around and tipping. We didn't have the problem of sticking or hard clean-up possibly because my wife uses coconut oil to coat the inside. We have found that coconut oil is much cheaper in the long run than spray oil. All-in-all we are very pleased with our purchase and use them quite often.
For the egg timer you have to crank it all the way around then turn it back to the time you desire. You will then get a nice longer bell ringing. All hand crank timers are like this. Hope this helps for future timings 😃
QueenB yep!
ooop!
they don't say spray on tv
How can I buy that ?
You deserve massive credit for your thoroughness and for not giving up! I lost the will to live about a third of the way through!
Boiled eggs: take eggs. Put in pan of cold water. Bring to boil.
Boil for 3 mins for soft/4 mins for medium/5 -6 mins for hard.
Run cold water over eggs.
Roll eggs over hard surface pressing to crack the shell all over.
Peel.
Think I'll stick to this method 😄
I have this set of Egglettes without the holder.. I tried your final solution for my hardboiled tonight.. 16 minutes after I sprayed heavily, not with Pam, but with an Olive Oil spray..

Personally, I would rather stick to the good ‘ol fashion way... some gadgets just make more work....
Constant exposure to plastic going through heat cycles leaches microplastics into the food too...

Exactly hell even peeling eggs is super easy so aside from maybe waiting for them to cook, it’s not hard (no pun intended) to hard boil eggs.
@@jotterson1156 use the red contraption thing, to make Individual layered salads and use it to make crumpets. If it can go in a fry pan.

the shells come right off if you run them under cold water after theyre done boiling.........
JakeSnake07 once cooled, put them in a cup and shake, shells practically fall off after that
I have that same egg-shaped timer. You have to "wind" it all the way up by taking it to the full 60 minutes, then crank BACK to the desired time. If you don't do that, you get what you got. Because "winding" for just the 3 or 5 minute range is not enough to get it to ring.
I much rather prepare boiled eggs in its shell. No device to clean afterwards and no need to use aerosol oil spray for unnecessary added taste
Waiting for next guys making these of non-stick plastic. With clear view lid.
Not for pouched egg!
I was looking for egg molds. These... maybe if peeling is a problem for the user. But they are not appetizing in appearnce for any party setting ; but I bet soft boiled turn out great. For storage space use, cleaning. Too many extra steps. And my devil eggs that look that way are dog snacks
And when cooking in their shell, the eggs end up with the correct shape.
Exactly! and are these evenBPA free? What a waste of money!
For people who have arthritis in their hands, this is a great product. Peeling the shell off a hard boiled egg can be a very tough job when your hands hurt. I think I'm going to buy these. Thanks a lot for your great review. I sure appreciate it.

Cause nothing says cooking eggs fast like cracking them into a new container, pitting them all together, cooking them and then removing the container. Or you can just put the whole egg in the water.
It's not about the cooking, it's about the peeling. I use a pressure cooker, so they peel easy, but this looks like a good alternative.
Try getting the water to a boil and then putting the eggs in with tongs. Boil to your liking and put in ice bath. Works EVERY time.
Yup, i bet it's much faster finding this pos in the clutter n washing it after lol
Boil eggs, crack em open. Let em cool off in the pan and peel em easy af
Add baking powder/bicarbonate of soda to the water while you're cooking them and they peel pretty easy.

It totally is! They do work but....cleaning them is more work than peeling. I would recommend them for say, somebody (like another commenter) who said her grandma can’t peel anymore, though. It’d be good for really fresh eggs too, those annoying ones that don’t peel well.
I bought these and they are absolutely great! Your rub a little bit of cooking oil inside each one making sure it's completely covered, boil your water drop them in put the lid on for 15 minutes take them out let them cool down they come out beautiful to pop them out you push your finger down on the bottom of it to get it loose then you squeeze them out I love these things!
Eggs have shells, perfect little cooking vessels. It’s like wrapping a coconut in plastic wrap or blending milk. WTF?
My wife purchased from an ad on fb. She paid $31 for 6. They did not come with the cool little egg holder that you had, nor did they come with a timer. She could have purchased only 3 but that would have cost her $15. OH....and it did not come with instructions whatsoever. They did not pop like the advertisement. She had to scrap them out with a knife and there was residue. Now, she watched your review after trying to make them. She agrees that you must spray the poo out of the silicon to get them to slide out. She doesn't have to crack, roll and peel any more. She gives them a 4 rating only because she had no instruction or the extras that yours came with. Plus she paid way more then you did for what you received. Thank you for the review. We are now subscribers to your channel.
With those egg timers, you are supposed to give them a good turn, to winde them up, and then go to the time you want.
Without winding them correctly the timer ticks slower and rings like a depressed clock.
Wind them up, give them a full turn and then go to your 2-3 minutes.
With a full turn, the timer runs correctly, with the right power and also rings much louder.
I love my Egglettes! I have been successfully using them to make egg-salad sandwiches for years. The best thing about them is not having to removing all the bits and pieces of the shell after the eggs are cooked. I spray them as suggested with about three sprays per egg. I noticed that when you were cleaning them that you left the silicone cup in the red plastic ring. I don't have the holder, I just suspend my Egglettes in the water using some bamboo chopsticks. LOVE YOUR REVIEWS! 👍🧡👍 😎
I think I'll stick to boiling them in the shell, looks like just more stuff to wash, once again thanks for a great review
Me too
I ordered these and did not really have the same issues you had. There was no sticking to the insides but I did use PAM spray on them. I know they are saying that this can be used for any eggs and they can, but I think that they are best utilized when using something like eggbeaters or just a jar a egg whites. Anyway, I like them and they helped me out when taking care of my aging parents ( no eating shells). I could make a batch for the week on Sunday and not have to worry about it while at work.
After all that clean up I'd rather peel a shell
Agreed
Just a tip using mechanical egg timer.
You always have to turn the clock fully and then select the time you want it to count.
1. Wind the clock to the max (60 minutes)
2. Turn the timer to desired minutes (like 8 minutes for example)
Works every time.
Huge missed opportunity not calling them “Eggcorns” like “Acorns”
I just learned of these little thingies and actually did a youtube search to see if anyone (or you specifically) had done any reviews on them. Lo and behold...there you are! Many thanks...I think I will try them.
Thanks for the review! I see the Egglettes gadget at my Walgreens for $9.99. Tempted to buy it but after watching your review I think I'll just stick to boiling eggs the old fashioned way.🥚🍳
I know I'm several months behind and this has nothing to do with the product. But when I make deviled eggs, I spoon the yolk mixture into a sandwich baggy and use the baggy like a frosting bag by cutting one of the corners off. You get the perfect amount into each egg and it looks good too.
Just a tip for anyone who happens to see this comment.
I like your videos. keep it up
you have to spin the egg timer all the way to wind up the bell, then set it downwards to how long you want.
Great review, as always! A friend and I tried Eggies a few years ago and had a blast..never laughed so hard in our lives! Eggies had teeny thin 'gaskets' which had to be oiled separately and kept getting lost on our counter because they were almost transparent. (We lost two of the gaskets forever when we were cleaning up.) No matter how well we oiled or sprayed the insides, egg stuck to the plastic. In a side by side, Eggies vs boiling eggs the old fashion way, we had cleaned up and were eating deviled eggs just as the Eggies were finished cooking. When faced with cleaning out those Eggies again and losing more gaskets, we decided to throw the Eggies in the trash. LOL People have dealt with imperfect hard boiled eggs since forever and lived through it. There are tips and tricks on the internet for getting them out of the shell. Time spent looking for and trying those tips is faster and easier than using the Eggie. I don't see that the Eglette is better. Why spend more time preparing and cleaning an extra kitchen gadget? Gadgets should make life easier!!!!!!
These will be great for all the times I buy eggs without shells.
Thank you for trying these out. I was wondering if it worked. Your attention to detail is much appreciated.
I died laughing when he ate the cheesy scrambled one. Priceless man, thank you! Love the channel!
🤣🤣🤣
Just got a few of these egglettes from a friend and while looking up how to use them came across this. It was very helpful. I used mine and found that pinching the bottom of the item before taking off the top loosened them so that they popped out cleanly. Thanks for the info. I'm now binging the rest of your video.s great stuff!
I don't know if it's because I'm from Canada but here our hens lay eggs that have kind of a shell around them so we don't need any silicone thingy for hard boiled eggs. We just have to remove the shell once they're done though. 🙂
❤️💙💜😁
hahahaha! A?
It's like that here to
No kidding!!! When you say here, you do mean a developed country I assume.
Oh yeah usa my bad I don't see why you would need these
Very impressive and thorough review. Thank you very much.
I thought you said "this is my last day of filming" and went, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
yessss
Love your channel, found it about 2 weeks ago and cant stop watching :).
About that timer, every time you use it you have to first twist it all the way and then return it to what time you need. So if you need 2min, you twist it to 60min, and then return it to 2min, so it will have power to ring and be more accurate.
You should review the Liquid Drywall
Great review thank you! One thing I would say is that they would be very good to use if you aren't sure how fresh your eggs are exactly, you are cracking them and seeing/smelling what's inside before cooking which could be useful depending on the situation! 😁
I was always told to put your eggs in water. If they sink and lay on there side they are fresh. If they sink and stand on their end they are less fresh but still ok to eat. If they float to the top they are rotten, please throw out. Never gotten sick off an egg yet and don’t have to smell rotten eggs.
I really wanted to see you throw that egg timer up the wall 😂
I just bought the egglets from Walmart. There were four in a pack and they did not come with a timer or the holder. I washed them thoroughly and used them this morning. The problem I ran into was they started to tilt without having a holder when in the pot after several minutes. I ended up putting a butter knife through two of the little handles and draping it across the edges of the pot so that they wouldn't turn over. This works efficiently tho a bit of a hassle. I used olive oil in mine and spread it around generously with my finger but I wasn't able to just pop them out. I found if I inserted a spoon just into the tip it broke the seal and then they would pop out. I didn't need to go all the way around with the spoon. I started out with cooked sausage and egg and cheese and did them for 13 minutes. They didn't quite get done as much as I wanted so the upper end of the hard boiled egg time is better for eggs that have other ingredients I found for my taste. They got thoroughly done that way and they tasted great. Other than tipping over in the water while boiling they worked exactly as I expected and I had no residue issues after they were popped out. But thanks for your video, it was great. I didn't even know they came with a little holder but I would say for me that would be worth the extra cost. I used my microwave timer. I wish it came with a smaller holder because that looks like it will only fit in a big pot and if you only want to do a couple you have to boil a lot of water for that so that seems a bit wasteful. But thanks again for your video. It was very detailed. I'm going to try hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs next time and see how that comes out. I have to agree with you about the funky way they cut them. But they look a little open-ended if you cut them the Long Way unlike if you boil them in the shell. That's going to be interesting.
Your patience is impressive. Guess I am the old, cranky, set in my ways lady,that I always heard about. 😭
I recently bought the 4 pk of egglettes. I had same issue with oil the first time, sticking, residue, egg white being kind of broken up....just made some more and we'll see how those come out. Thanks for the video - helpful information :) Positives I can say about the eggs? I like how they come out with oil...adds a new element to the boiled egg. I liked not having to crack and peel the egg - that's always a pain - especially when the shell sticks. I guess if you're looking for hard boiled eggs and not too picky - these are a good investment. I appreciate the product. :)
3:55 If I did hard-boiled eggs, I would consider those underdone from the dark colour of the yolks.
well he cut them open too early, the residual heat would have finished cooking the egg
I’ve been watching you for a good 3 months and I have to say it reviews are great and they don’t sugarcoat any thing and u deserve more subs in my opinion 😂
Thumbs up for the review. Thumbs down for the product. I don't mind shelling a hard boiled egg.
Glenn Watkins Its for people with motor skills and elderly. People who can't peel a egg basically.
I bought these and used olive oil cooking spray, they worked perfectly, popped right out with no residue at all on the silicone. I think they're great, egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs for me!!
Feels like this product is a fail. So much easier to just to boil in shell.
I used mine yesterday for Potato salad I was making and made 1 as a scrambled egg with ham and cheese in it, to break up and put on toast, it was so darn good. A whole lot easier (for the potato salad) than worrying about having to peel them all later on!
I always use a squirt of olive oil Spray in the, and use a tooth pick in the middle to double check how well done they are and then run the blunt end between the egg and silicone to help pry it out. But it works well. You just don't want much oil at all, you don't want any of it pooling at the bottom or the egg can end up frying in there a bit, which is why he was having trouble cleaning his out at first. You are best just putting some on a paper towel and wiping the inside over with it.
Thanks for review. I'll stick with boiling in the Shell! 🥚
I have some silicone egg cups I bought at least 5 years ago and found just a bit of water in the bottom worked better than oil or cooking spray - even when microwaving them. With the water in the bottom of the cup it comes up around the eggs when you drop them in. Mine came without lids so I was looking at these. With the lid it seemed to me that you would get an effect similar to a coddled egg. Thanks for all the info you present in your easy to follow vid.
That scrambled egg one, if it was gray, it would look just like the eggs from the movie Alien😂That texture😝Your southern roots kicked in making those deviled eggs. Great seeing Cathy too. Thanks for the review😃
When did deviled eggs become southern?
arcanum70 it's called a joke!!
Christy's Cooking Channel that's a bad joke
Dennis Boylan, good or bad, it's still a joke. I didn't research the origins of deviled eggs. He lived in the south, it was a inside joke, how about that. Hundreds of comments here and your job is to analyze each one, that's pretty sad/pathetic😂
I was laughing so hard. Your experience is just exactly what real normal person actually experiences! Thanks for going to all the trouble!
NEVER KNEW BOILING EGGS WITH THE SHELL WAS A PROBLEM LOL
and it doubles the cooking time...why just why
See you've been doing it wrong all these years and never knew it! :-)
I’d rather spend 15min to hard boil several eggs.....
Boiling the egg wasn't my problem...peeling them was. This has eliminated that and I love this product :)
Melissa Logan after you boil them run them under cold water for about a minute, the shell should peel off really easily
Boy, I had completely different results with mine. 9 minutes with PAM spray came out perfectly soft boiled and they popped out without much effort, mostly without the requirement of a spoon. Didn't get the timer or the collar. Just use the electronic timer on my microwave/ oven and pop them into a pot of boiling water independently. I LOVE mine. I'm easily having soft boiled eggs every day and NO shells to crack! Yummy!
YUCK!! You didn't cook the eggs long enough for deviled eggs. There should be no discoloring in the yolk. As I suspected, I don't think this product is worth it if you want a pure, good looking egg, but still a great review of an inferior product. Thank you for your hard work.
I got these for my Grandma because she has trouble peeling eggs with arthritis. She loves them!
Hey James, Nice review. :)
Thanks!
I loved your demonstration. I've watch a number of these and yours was the best. It's great that you showed the issues and how to work through them. I used eggies and hated them as the eggs were tough to get into them and then they stuck and were hard to clean after. Eggletts work better and since I saw your video before my first use I had no problems. So my thanks to you for the detail and I've subscribed to your channel for more.
Almost had “egg on your face” ......pun intended!
Thanks again for your, always enjoyable, review!
I haven't (and won't) try the Egglettes. But I DID try the Eggies. Dismal failure. They were too limited in the size egg that they would hold, tended to overflow, and were basically a pain to clean up. Much easier in both method and cleanup to just boil the eggs the way I always have, in the shell, without worrying about how large an egg I need to use, peel UNDER running water (right under the faucet nozzle), and make lovely deviled eggs. I can kind of see a use for something like this if you are planning to serve the egg in the cooking container, but otherwise it just seems to be adding unnecessary complication and effort to an otherwise fairly simple process.
I'll stick with the old fashioned way. If they come out with issues, I know it's my fault.
Jo Bassett it's just for people with motor skill problems and elderly. No reason for a normal person to own one.
I am so glad that I came across your informative video. I ordered a set last week, hasn't arrived yet, but I'm glad to know how to work it when it does get here. Thank you so much.

Tell us in the comments how it worked for you.
silvereagle90000 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the review. I was looking at getting this product for my rather particular mom and I think she will like it. More cleanup but less work to eat it since she has to peel the egg then scrape the yolk out for her liking. Thanks!
Thanks for all your work. It was Eggcellent.😆
Still inferior experience to just cooking the eggs in the shells, then you don't have to worry about washing those plastic containers or possible transfer of plastic to your eggs, over time.
Thanks for doing these reviews. This channel is invaluable. Just discovered it today and subscribed already.
Seems easier to boil eggs the old way. No containers to wash.
Dude you are sooo into it! I've watched all your videos. Keep it up man! Thanks for taking the time do these in great detail and trial and error!
1:33 Shake out the "Eggcess"
Love your page your gonna grow much bigger rapidly
I dont see the point of cracking an eggshell to put an egg in an egg shaped silicone shell that i have to clean after using it can somebody give me the pros of this product? But the video was still great ☺️
I think the need for something like this is probably a valid point to debate!
They exist because people, and especially the elderly, have a hard time peeling off the shell from hard boiled eggs done the traditional way without destroying the eggs in the process.
My grandma bought a set and loves them because it's the first time in half a decade that she's been able to cook boiled eggs without having somebody else's help. The only complaint I have is that they don't give you a full dozen.
I just don't understand why you can't just poach eggs the regular way if the water is already going to be boiling, or why you can't just crack the eggs into a muffin tin and bake them! Because it's going to give you a similar shape to these things (flat bottomed, etc) but you only have to clean one tray!
you could even put the muffin tin into a bain marie and basically boil them in the oven with less risk of dumping water on yourself as an elderly person.
McFlegmato what else are you going to waste your money on?? College education, a mortgage, bills??
The easiest way to get the egg out is to oil spray the inside and boil
a full 15 minutes in already boiling water. Put in pot of cool water. Not for long. Like a few minutes. As they are cooling you simply squeeze the silicone bottom tipping the egglette upside down. KEEPING THE SCREW TOP LID TIGHTENED STILL. Just a slight squeeze to release the pressure on the inside. There is a tiny hole on top of the lid that when you’re slightly squeezing the air out of the lid of the container, the egg will release from the bottom without residue. Then while keeping your egglette upside down loosen the lid. Your egg on the inside will be loose on the inside and will plop right out. No spoon needed and your shell less hard boiled egg is perfect! Just a simple hot water rinse and you can boil again.
I got some of these. Today I tried them for the first time. I out of Pam, so I tried vegetable shortening. I got a little on my fingers and rubbed it all over the inside of the Egglettes. They all popped out leaving no egg behind.
First thank you ! Your channel is great; you relay get to know your product. The only reason I got Egglettes is because my autistic child will only eats hard boiled eggs, but the whites only. She will not eat them unless there is no yellow on the white. So I plan on making whites only. With your product testing I sure I will have great success.
Anyone here before 1K views?
Awesome, thanks. I was having so much trouble with then sticking. Mine had no instructions so seeing the spoon trick really helped, thanks
That’s kinda useless lmao...
Tell that to my 80 year old grandmother who's able to boil and eat her own hard boiled eggs for the first time in 5 years.
JakeSnake07 lmao, I dont see whats so hard about boiling eggs... Peeling the skin? U just smash it against a hard surface and it it basically comes off by itself... If anything this device is a lot harder to use... U have to wash it, etc...
I enjoy cooking eggs with my egglettes. The only problem I found was working out the cooking times you're video helped with that a lot.
Thank you.
Thanks for being so in depth and trying different things with them. It was so helpful. I wasn't going to get these but my mom had gotten them but was disappointed they couldn't go in the microwave. So, I ended up taking them off her hands.
I purchased these recently but hadn't used them yet so this is super helpful. going to do a ramen tonight with a nice 10 minute semi-runny egg.
this product is for me, I've tried every hack and simply cannot peel a shell cleanly!
I am excited to try to add different omelette elements to a hard boiled egg, thinking some cooked bacon chunks, cheese and chives! definitely makes for an ugly deviled egg, maybe wouldn't serve them to company but for a midnight snack I'm all about it!
great vid, thank you! honestly I saw the preview and thought "16 MINUTES?" then I sat rapt through the whole thing.
I appreciate this video review as I have been considering the purchase but also hesitant. Watching your reviews on Egglettes is quite a value and I will be keeping everything that was shown on your review in mind. Thank you so much.
Wow a detailed review of a product that is awesome and refreshing. All your hard work is noticed and appreciated. Keep up the awesome work
I will volunteer my two younger sons, aged 11 and 13 to assist with any more egg videos. They can't seem to get enough of the things!
I watched the Egglettes commercial after seeing your video and I swear those 'cooked eggs' they showed "popping" out of their contraption were regular hardboiled eggs they used. They had that peeled egg shape. They used that popping sound and one of the eggs popped out and THEN you heard the popping sound....which tells me the entire commercial is a LIE! They used hardboiled eggs, put them into their 'egglette' and simply lifted the egglette off of the boiled eggs and then added the nice 'popping' sound at the wrong times. What a sham! Thank you so much for YOUR review! I think this item might be useful to some people, but I preferred the standard method of boiling eggs after all. :-)
I bought mine at the Dollar Tree for a buck and used them twice without any problems but I returned to my old ways thereafter. If you don't like peeling eggs, then get a set. But, I like to boil a dozen and leaving them in the fridge for a week to peel and eat as needed. If they are pre-peeled their storage life would be limited to only a few days I suspect. But, I might use them again to make egg salad sandwiches to avoid peeling.
My wife and I eat a lot of eggs on the "Paw-Paw" diet but I personally dislike boiled eggs (can't get passed the texture of the egg white, albumen). We bought the Egglettes a couple of week ago and didn't have any of the problems you had.
We decided to get the Egglettes to make "hard-boiled' omelettes. The only problem we had was that the Egglettes would fill up with water when we boiled them. The egg was still edible but it would shrink to about half what it should be. The solution was to boil them at a very slow boil so the water didn't agitate the Egglettes as much and no water got in the vent hole at the top. We didn't get the "deluxe" version so no holder to keep them from bobbing around and tipping.
We didn't have the problem of sticking or hard clean-up possibly because my wife uses coconut oil to coat the inside. We have found that coconut oil is much cheaper in the long run than spray oil.
All-in-all we are very pleased with our purchase and use them quite often.
Ugh, too much work to figure out how to use this thing!!! Thanks for reviewing, you are my hero!
My favorite part of the video has to be the egg cam, it was just so unexpected and kinda funny
