Paola Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Put the credit card down Lesley and step away from the computer They have had them for a while I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 good idea, but a bit pricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 They are funky though. I love them, fortunately for my credit card we rarely eat boiled eggs (I prefer mine poached or scrambled) and I've got 6 egg cups already. I don't need more, so not even tempted Did you succumb Lesley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy C Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've been looking for extra egg storage and found this little beauty on Amazon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I like that Kathy - but I'd always be knocking the eggs off No Kate - I haven't bought one (or more ) - I have about 30 egg-cups - and we only ever use 4 when Lauren and Jake stay over, usually it is just 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The eggs my chooks lay are really hard to peel when you hard boil them. Why? What am I doing wrong? I prefer poached anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I think it's to do with freshness Jaime! The older an egg, the easier it is to peel (no idea why though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The membrane around the egg is really tight when the egg is fresh. It becomes looser when the egg is a week old or so. Therefore easier to peel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I used to get really frustrated when peeling boiled eggs too - when all the white comes away in chunks attached to the shell . Now I roll them between the palm of my hand and the work top until the shell is crushed all over and it comes away in one or two pieces -easy .

Lesley Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Yep! - use older eggs...... .....and then roll them on the worktop as Fee says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
