    So impressed! I am hooked...

Doesn't it make the temp drop quite a bit taking them out? How likely is it that eggs would explode if I just let them go? Thanks!

He does not look like he is going to make it, but I have no idea what could have happened! All was fine when I checked on them last night. He is with 12...
