Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 this might sound like a strange question but when I was riding in the back of our camper van on the test drive, things did rattle and shake a bit and I was wondering how to keep the eggs safe when we go away. Obviosuly we'll be taking quite a few with us, the perfect camping accessory I imagine with that amount of bumping around that they might possibly break? Does anyone have experience of taking eggs on holiday in their van and what precautions did you take, if any, to ensure you didn't arrive with scrambled eggs!

Pookylover Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Bubble wrap maybe?? Never had this problem before (we can't holiday) but I would've thought either something like bubble wrap or cotton wool would stop them breaking. Probably a really daft suggestion.!!!

Mrs Frugal Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi Poet, We took a dozen eggs with us on a weekend break in Wales and we had to drive down the most pothole filled lane you've ever seen and our eggs were intact when we got to our destination. I just packed them in normal cardboard egg boxes with lids on and they were fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 You need to make little hammocks and string them up individually taking care that they don't start knocking into each other like one of those desk toys with the metal balls.

debbie26pet Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 we took ours in our caravan and used a normal egg box, and bobbed in the fridge they were fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ours just get put in a cupboard in the caravan when we travel and we've not lost one yet! The same can't be said for a bag of sugar once, that managed to bounce against the catch and fall from a top cupboard to the floor - snow scenes in caravan's are not a good plan, at least not with sugar A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I always took our eggs in the 'van when we had the tourer - they were just in normal egg-boxes and wedged in a cupboard - no breakages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Andrew, that happened to us with a jar of coffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookylover Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I have changed my mind on the bubble wrap! I like the hammock idea better! Can't wait to see the photos! Clare x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishY Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I remember going camping/caravanning years ago and my mum used a tupperware egg carrier thingy. It was hinged on one side and snapped shut - carried six eggs I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ditto to the normal egg box popped in a cupboard They have travelled to France on some pretty rough sea crossings with no problems Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 thank you everyone, I wasn't sure but am now reassured. I still might wrap the egg boxes in tea towels, just to cushion them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 We have the plastic, tupperware egg carrier - our eggs are too big for it! We took some to France in normal egg boxes, inside our chiller box. No breakages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 We also have the plastic tupperware egg carrier, my daughter uses it all the time to take her eggs back to uni with her, without breaking them. I've had mine for years and it takes 100g eggs no problem (they must have made them bigger years ago). Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
