Eggies.... Are They Really Worth the Trouble

I am a nut for all these infomercial things but can usually resist the urge to purchase all this crazy stuff. The Eggies kinda got me, they sucked me in, boiling eggs with these plastic cups is going to make my life easier. I did not buy mine online or through calling the 800 number I went to a large chain drug store and got a box of 6.



  • each Eggie has 4 plastic parts (they don't tell you this in the infomercial), it took me 5 minutes to get them put together
  • you MUST coat the inside or each Eggie with oil
  • as with most plastic items all of the pieces that are supposed to thread together.... don't
  • it is harder than hell to get a slimy cracked egg to go in to the little hole in the top of the Eggie
  • it took my Eggies 17 minutes to cook
  • they then have to cool for 10 mins. before you can take the little lid off -  quote from instruction page "Eggies will produce steam when boiled take caution when opening"
  • 3 of my Eggies had water in them so I had to strain the water out
  • only 2 of my Eggies popped right out of the little cup, I had to use a knife to cut them loose from the plastic cup
  • I have a horrible after taste in my mouth after eating one of my boiled eggs
