Boris70 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi Just got a catalogue from Scotts of Stw and hte have a fab egg spiral http://www.scottsofstow.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?language=en-GB&product=1043397 I think it's great - a better way to show off the girls hard work than egg boxes!

AnnieP Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I had a look at this last year when deciding on a suitable egg holder..... however someone decided it would drive them nuts as they kept their eggs in strict rotation, so would spend their whole day moving them all up every time they used an egg... i do love it though.... the thread for egg holders is.... here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindon_clucker Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thats one funky egg holder But I agree with AnnieP it would drive me insane moving the eggs up and down but still thats a good egg-holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Would it surprise you that I already have one and you can have the eggs in a spiral or each side of the main column or more or less any pattern you want as the "holes" slide round (dont put all your eggs on one side though!!!) Has anyone noticed the rather lovely cockerl pictures, tiles and dinner service that Scotts have too I wante the pictures but (& Paul) said no, where would we put them? (mind you he wanted the dinner service, and afterall, we only have enough dinner plates, bowls, side plates etc., for about 30 people ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I wasn't surprised! I might ask for one as a present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mel, A question then if you already have one - swhat is the diameter of the holes? I've only got little bantams - so the eggs are huge - and I don't want them failing through the middle! Thanks Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 ok the holes measure 4cm across I have to say when Nigella lays really small eggs (49g ish) they dont always stay in the holes (we have lost a couple that way!) so if they are small I stick in a wodge of paper towel or tissue hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I hope you all have more luck with Scotts than I did. When this first appeared in their catalogue last year, I went into their shop in Stow. They didn't have any in - they said they print stuff in their catalogue and wait to see what the response is. They put me on a waiting list and said they would phone me. They phoned me - 6 months later By then, I'd lost the will to live let alone have one of their egg holders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
