WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

I hated them I tossed them the first time I used them. They did not work the egg stuck to them and it was not worth the work involved to use them even if they did work.

Hmm. Seems like a love 'em or hate 'em kind of thing. I haven't tried mine yet. I know how bad egg is though, I do eggs in a nest and if the egg gets onto the cupcake pans, it does NOT want to come off, no matter how much you try to scrub them. I actually threw my metal pan out because of that. They seem to release better from silicone, but I've never tried plastic for eggs. I HOPE it's nothing like the metal. Maybe with a nice thick coating of butter it'll come out a little easier. I'm hoping I didn't waste money on 8 sets of these, LOL.

Eight sets! What? I have a way of hardboiling eggs perfectly and the shells come right off even eggs layed the same day. The eggies are hard to because of all the pieces like Farmer said. Take them back.

How do you do that? I always have a hard time peeling off the shells!

Hard boiled eggs seem to be hit and miss for me. Sometimes they peel beautifully, but I always get a few that half of the white gets peeled with the shell! I'm too lazy to try to salvage the whites and mash them into egg salad, so I just give them back to the birds. I always add more than I want in the pot, lol.

The fresher the eggs are the worse they stick to the shells. Always try to use eggs that have been in the fridge for a couple days for hard boiled eggs.

Yeah and I heard either use vinegar or baking soda in the water when boiling helps....I havent tried it yet. I bought an egg poacher recently. My grandmother used to make them for me when I was little...so kinda nostalgic for me. :0)
