AJuff Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just wondered if anyone had tried an EggXact scale to weigh their eggs? they look really cool and come in four colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutechicky Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Nope...would love to though! When my chickens start laying...hopefully I can buy some scales to weigh them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 What's an Eggxact? I have some digital scales from LLooyds pharmacy- they wii even tell me the calories & fat in the egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Oh they sound good Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Oh they sound good Jules They are, I bought them a couple of years ago when they were at the silly price of £7.99. You are now looking at more like £30 for the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have one - in blue of course! Not only can you weigh your eggs on it, but you can also work out how long each one will take to cook and set a timer. Very useful and small, so it doesn't take up much space on your worktop.

starboyhull Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I must not spend......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks for that, I must have one now. It will stop the children estimating whose hen has laid the biggest egg!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I bought a bog standard set of digital scales from Debenhams ( in a sale) and they are OK. I only weigh obvious big 'uns. I like the idea of the Eggxact calculating the cooking time for a boiled egg. Useful if you have assorted sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I also bought one but now it is stuck in a draw with all the other gadgets that have been forgotten............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It's great up to a certain size egg. It couldn't calculate cooking time for Trinny's eggs as they were too big and said "error!" I think I used it for flubenvet as needed just a few grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I am getting eggs from my new chickens I will give it a try again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I want a blue one, and I don't even have hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Mine has broken - seems to require a new battery after every use so i've given up with it. The times it gives for boiling an egg seem very long too - 6mins for soft boiled? i dont think so! Perhaps i just got a bad one but im not impressed really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 6 minutes for a large soft-boiled egg might be all right from boiling point. Mine were usually 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 They are harder boiled than OH likes a soft boiled egg (if that makes sense?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Yes, perfect sense. I always felt that too and would start the timer before I put the egg in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
