My MFP Friends seemed to think this was a cool little thing.

Let me know what you think

    Seems to me it would be just as easy to boil a few eggs over the weekend to use throughout the week. But then, I never use a microwave. Pitched it about 20 years ago and have never missed the thing!

    Seems somewhat unnecessary - it only takes a few minutes to cook an egg in a pan, and if you cook it over easy (rather than scrambled) then there's usually not much of a mess to clean up. I do what the blog writer does and cook my egg while I'm eating oatmeal or cereal or something else. Just don't see why you need a gadget to do so. :: shrugs ::

    Microwaving an egg just seems a little gross to me....

    Great point - I didn't think to mention this. I do the exact same thing (hard boil eggs over the weekend that I use during the week)

    I boil a dozen eggs on the weekend and then keep them in the fridge for the week. That way they're ready and available for him to throw in his lunch bag in the mornings, and I can grab one anytime during the day!

    I haven't done the boiled egg thing since starting the new lifestyle.
    But correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think it's easier, or healthier.

    Normal
    Crack egg put in frying pan.
    Put cracked shell in garbage/compost.
    Clean up frying pan when done.

    boiled egg.
    Fill water in pot and put eggs in.
    When done, crack egg and put shells in garbage/compost
    Wash the pot

    Useful gadget.
    1 egg at a time in gadget.
    Crack egg after it's boiled/nuked.
    Put pieces of cracked shell in garbage/compost
    Clean up kitchen gadget.
