Has anyone tried Egglettes?

Oops, lol. Don't know how that reply ended up in this thread.

That's the product I'm interested in trying. Just wondering if anyone here has any comments. I watched the video following the attached on YouTube, and it was positive, and recorded by some 'backyard' chef that had a EDIT: following (not filtering) on YouTube. He liked them. It's just that Amazon has a bunch of negative comments, and I don't know what to believe.

More stuff to store and then ignore. I'd pass.

Plunge your cooked eggs into ice water as soon as they're cooked and peeling won't be an issue.

I smidgen of vinegar helps with fresh eggs as well.

I was reading through the thread (or more of a back-and-forth disagreement) about hard boiling fresh eggs.

Just preparing here, since I probably have 2.5 to 3 months before mine even start laying.

I think I have tried every trick out there, but the eggs from my new layers stick to the shells no matter what I do. The best luck I have had is: over a week old, crack the end where the air is, put in cold water and bring to a boil, drain hot water when done, shake the pan to crack the eggs, then dump in ice water. They still stick, but not too badly. If I could find Egglets for a decent price, I would try them.

I've seen these on TV, but have seen mixed reviews online. If they work as intended, even if I have to spray oil on the inner surface, I'm thinking about buying a dozen or so, to make hard boiling easier.

Just wondering if anyone here has tried them, and if it's worth my time and expense (~$30/12 Egglettes) to buy them.

Thanks.

I have tried them and did not like them. The best hard boiled eggs are from the instant pot.

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Author: Lisa Johnson
Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• ice

Instructions

1. Place trivet at the bottom of the inner Instant Pot pan.
2. Place eggs on top of trivet, stacking evenly if necessary.
3. Add one cup of water to the pan. Close the lid and set Instant Pot for 5 minutes on Manual at HIGH pressure.
4. Allow pot to release the pressure naturally for 5 minutes, then very carefully quick release any remaining steam.
5. Scoop eggs out of pot and place in an ice bath for 5 minutes.
6. Remove from the ice bath and peel or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Recipe Notes

• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot®, and the trivet that comes with it.
• Place a dish towel over the vent when you release the pressure/steam or you may burn yourself! Gently push on the vent and release the pressure in short bursts.
• I cooked 12 eggs, but I “believe” that you can cook more using the same exact times above. I will give it a try and report back with the results.

Much cheaper than the instant pot and a bit easier, try one of the cheap egg cookers. There are tons of them for <$20 that use just a few tablespoons of water to cook 6+ eggs. Here is an example:

They steam the eggs which usually makes the eggs easier to peel. I don't like the poaching feature, but the for soft-hard boiled eggs they are fabulous. I was really skeptical at first, but after seeing mine, my neighbors (and biggest consumer of gift eggs from my girls) got one as well and are really happy with it.

As for the egglettes - I think I would rather have my eggs done in an egg coddler:
