A day late with the ez-cracker, DW's birthday was yesterday. I'm not certain the people in the video having so much trouble cracking eggs should be cooking for themselves, or around hot stoves or sharp knives.

I think the egg scramber thingy would be great for blowing eggs. It is always hard to get the yolk out without making a hole that is large. Assuming the thingy doesn't make a large hold itself

I agree about the capibilities of someone who can not crack an egg having access to hot stoves and sharp knives!

Uhh, yah. However, there were tiny shards in a couple of the demos in that video. I saw 'em! And the "e z scramblers?". Come ON! Cracking open eggs is sometimes the best way to discover if you've got an older egg, or one with a blood spot you might wanna fish out before cooking. I think the dumbest egg whatsit I ever got sucked into buying was that set of "Eggies,". Goodness, but what a lot of trouble to go through to hard boil eggs without shells. Such a PIA to clean 'em, too. Wish I knew somebody I disliked enough to gift my set to....

Still snowing! E-Gads! Enough!

Really? Really??

Product review, Mary?

Oh I am all over this! I haven't bought anything this stupid since I bought the Eggies. Take 'em back Gryeyes!

One Isbar egg eater re-homed. Now I just need to figure out who the other one is. I may end up with just a rooster!

I can see kids loving that EZcracker, going thru dozens of eggs while mama isn't around. Sooner or later Consumer Reports tests the TV ad stuff and almost every one fails miserably. I'd rather read Mary's report.

X3, the Eggies were a BIG mistake - re-homed to the local resale shop. Since have learned how to hard-boil even the freshest eggs and still peel them easily due to Chicken Rustler.

Jason, one of my first winters up there was a bad one. The snow came halfway up my thigh and the power was out for three days. I thought I was going to freeze to death.

Central propane heat with electronic ignition - no elec = no heat
Pellet stove - no elec = no heat
Fireplace insert with blower - no elect = extremely little heat (one small log at a time in a two story house). Even then I had to shovel my way out to the shed to get firewood, of coure the huge door opened OUT, more shoveling.
Also, lots of window and no curtains. I swear, I was nailing blankets over the glass even if they were double paned. I figured I could always spackle and paint later if I lived, LOL

Believe me, I now own a generator! Although I bought it down here for that big storm from a few years ago. Our power was out for days, I needed to keep my frogs warm and have a place to plug in the coffeemaker. We have a killer woodstove here, I can get it so hot you have to open the doors/windows.

I love to look at snow through a window, from a warm room, IF I don't have to go outside in it for ANY reason. I'm always freezing, DH is wearing shorts all the time because I keep the house so warm, I have on a sweatshirt and socks inside my slippers.

Was that the December of 09 storm? We had over 2 feet of snow when I lived at 2700 feet

well at least the Rooster won't lay eggs to nibble on.

Quote: 2009 was the storm where we bought the generator. I had snow here at 1200 ft. DH and I was on a cruise through the Panama Canal. We got off the ship in So. CA and I had a phone call from DS to tell me what was going on. When we got off the plane in SF, I started calling to find a generator we could buy on our way home from the airport. The neighbors had taken their generator and brought it to our house to keep my frogs warm until we got home. We were standing in the dark at 11:00 in the freezing cold and snow, trying to read the setup instructions for a brand new generator so we could get it fired up.

The thigh high snow in Camino was around '96-97 or so.
