Egglettes Review: No-Shell Hard Boiled Eggs?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2018
- Egglettes are silicone pods that allow you to make hard boiled eggs without the shell. It took me a few attempts to get it to work right, and you can see my progress in this 4-day overview.

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 ?
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.

Awesome story!
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!
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 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...
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...
To crowd your drawer until you donate it to goodwill
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.
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 !
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.
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 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!
😂 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 😊
I love how detailed your reviews are
Mark Forrest I love how detailed your reviews are*
I’m glad this channel exists. You have great vids.
Yeah he deserves more subs
Tactical Tic_Tac AGREED
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!
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.
The quality of this video is insane, you deserve at least 1mil subscribers
An Enemy you’ve crushed me
I cant believe i just watched a 16 min video on eggs made In silicone
I came in at 11:40
I've watched it for 2 days.. Finished it though
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!
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!
glad you made that clear about the nose spray. lol
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 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.
Thank you for trying these out. I was wondering if it worked. Your attention to detail is much appreciated.
After all that clean up I'd rather peel a shell
Agreed
Huge missed opportunity not calling them “Eggcorns” like “Acorns”
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 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.
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!
Eggs have shells, perfect little cooking vessels. It’s like wrapping a coconut in plastic wrap or blending milk. WTF?
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 always watch for your reviews and I truly follow your findings! Thank you!
I died laughing when he ate the cheesy scrambled one. Priceless man, thank you! Love the channel!
🤣🤣🤣
I liked before the egg montage and laughed so hard I snorted and wanted to like again. I have been here from the beginning but let's face it you are eggcelent with eggs. Thank you for eating so many for us. Much love to you. 💜💚💛💙
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.
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
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.🥚🍳
These will be great for all the times I buy eggs without shells.
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.
Really liked the trial and error format you have for your video! I found it very entertaining :)
Looks like a lot of washing
dishwasher
you should always wash anything into which you are going to put food!
watchgoose no shit
@@OLIVIA-zs8eu You ever thought about that there are people who don't own a dishwasher?
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.
you have to spin the egg timer all the way to wind up the bell, then set it downwards to how long you want.
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.
Thanks for posting. I work at Bed, Bath and Beyond and see a lot of what you review everyday. Helps recommend the right things for our customers.
I really wanted to see you throw that egg timer up the wall 😂
Your patience is impressive. Guess I am the old, cranky, set in my ways lady,that I always heard about. 😭
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.
A very thorough review. My hats off to you, sir.
You should review the Liquid Drywall
I have a box of the egglets that I've never used. But my son won't eat hard boiled, so I'm thinking of trying to scramble them first, see if he'll eat them that way. Good review. Thanks
Too bad they still don't sell the egg scrambler -- the machine that scrambles the egg in the shell.
@@MrFlynnyo One way of having scrambled eggs still in the shell, is to shake the living crap out of it for several minutes, then boil them the way you normally would for hard boiled eggs. My girls and I tried it a few times and it actually works. Kind of weird looking when peeled, but it works. You just have to experiment with how long and how hard to shake it. Good luck!
So excited I ran across your channel. Excellent review, very informative. Thanks so much!
Great review! I love that your very thorough in this egg review, very helpful! 😃
Hey James, Nice review. :)
Thanks!
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
thanks. that was very helpful. I was getting really frustrated with getting them out and the residue. Your video was a huge help.
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 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.
I thought you said "this is my last day of filming" and went, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
yessss
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! 👍🧡👍 😎
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
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😂
Thanks for all your work. It was Eggcellent.😆
Thanks for the info and taking the time to do such a thorough review
you are on target as i bought and it came with no instructions - you were big help thank you!
Can you review the flex seal line up product's please
Almost had “egg on your face” ......pun intended!
Love your reviews!! Needed to know what method was best and I got it!! Thank you!!
Awesome, thanks. I was having so much trouble with then sticking. Mine had no instructions so seeing the spoon trick really helped, thanks
Sweet, thanks for the great review! Think im gonna stick to the tried and true method of hard boiled eggs, if it aint broke, dont fix it!
But it is broke, the product is for elderly and people with motor skill problems because they can't peel the egg without breaking it.
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
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!
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!!!!!!
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
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.
First video I see of yours, loved it, love your voice, your style and the way you review things, subbed.
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!
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
Thanks for review. I'll stick with boiling in the Shell! 🥚
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!
Very impressive and thorough review. Thank you very much.

1:33 Shake out the "Eggcess"
Excellent demonstration. I'm going to give mine a try. Thanks!
Good thing we have your channel to learn from..thank you so much for all your work for us. 😊🤗
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.
Feels like this product is a fail. So much easier to just to boil in shell.
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.
Good job man . your reviews are amazing
Seems easier to boil eggs the old way. No containers to wash.
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??
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.
Love Your show. You have been the ultimate deal maker/breaker for many as seen on TV buys I commit to. Just a pointer. Any thing that winds up to time, always turn past 20 min and bring back to the time you want me 2-3 min or so. This will allow the mechanism to get enough kenetic energy make it back to zero, as well as winds up the mechanism that causes the bell to ring. I have this kind of timer on many appliances, but have also used many a cheapo wind-up egg timer. It's something you just learn... With time lol.
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'd rather boil in the shells rather than eating those abominations
Yes. It's amazing how The LORD created egg shells to be useful and handy.
dude your editing is off the chain! you are a rebel
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.
Anyone here before 1K views?
How to boil an egg....boil water and drop egg in lol
Ugh, too much work to figure out how to use this thing!!! Thanks for reviewing, you are my hero!
Thanks for sharing such a great video , I got the silicone one , I had so much trouble cleaning it. I'll be using Pam from now on.
When you can't cook a hard boiled and peel them properly, get out of the kitchen. This method takes way more effort and time ! These things would drive me nuts !
Exactly. This looks much more difficult than just boiling them.
This product is awesome for eldery people, think about it, not everyone have firm hands for all their lifes
andre iloloth it's boiled eggs, you don't need firm hands. 🙄
Gina Sellers Yes, you do. People with Parkinson's REALLY strugle to eat some things, just look in this comments section.
andre iloloth Then how would they crack the eggshell, pour the egg into the egglette, remove it, wash the egglette, etc etc? Seems easier to lower an egg into water, Then roll it to crack the shell to pull off.
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 just discovered your reviews. I love your method, in that you adapt and try to trouble shoot, or see if the trouble is user error. I wish you could review everything before I buy it, heh..
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.
