Couperwife Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I like that. isnt it wonderful if you had different coloured eggs, you could place them according to colour. darkest at the bottom, lightest at the top (go,od grief i'm weird ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I think someone on here's got that one - I remember it being posted before. It's lovely, and a good space saver if you don't have room for a tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i keep my eggs in the fridge or i'd have a couple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 That is really cool . I've just stopped keeping mine in the fridge . And I've started storing them pointy end down . Can't remember the thread that made me do it but the advice seemed sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Poet that's a great find> If only I had a spare £16.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very pretty. My lot would knock it over. They are all elbows and feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 That would be a nightmare in my kitchen too. I would have to budge them all around each time a new egg was laid,to get them in freshness order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very true Cinnamon, I'd have that problem too. It's nice, but not really me. I want a blue ceraminc egg tray like the ones they sell on here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 It was SarahJo who bought one from Scotts of Stow........ and it is Louise who tells us why we shouldn't keep eggs in the fridge...... ....and always pointy end down..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 and it is Louise who tells us why we shouldn't keep eggs in the fridge...... ....and always pointy end down..... Ooh I didn't know about pointy end down, can anyone remember why? Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 ...because the air sac is at the round end of the egg and if you store it with that bit at the bottom then...........I'm not sure what happens , but you shouldn't do it Sorry - I thought I knew and then couldn't remember why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 It has something to do with the air sac floating to the top if you store them round end up, and displacing the yolk and causing it to stick to the inside of the shell, so when you crack the egg, the yolk will break. Not life threatening, but inconvenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not life threatening, but inconvenient. Really, will realign my eggs I do find that although my eggshells are very hard, they do tend to shatter rather than crack when I break them, I am always having to fish bits of shell out Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yay - its me that has an egg spiral - got mine from Scotts of Stow, as Lesley has pointed out. I love it - and do rotate top to bottom regards fresh eggs . Looks really pretty when you alternate blue and brown eggs too .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsCube Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 See I would like a holder like that, but what about bantam eggs? I dont think the rings they sit in would be small enough, so some of my eggs would fall through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
