Oh, Hell No...

There are things that look or seem easy in concept. All sorts of things get sold that are supposed to make something easy harder. No, that was not a typo. I said that on purpose. Of course, that's not how things are advertised, of course. And unfortunately, they sell tons of these kinds of things because most people who see the ads simply don't really think things through. Like say, making a hard boiled egg. You put some eggs in a saucepan and add water, put it on the burner, bring it to a boil and cook the eggs for around 12 minutes or so, maybe a little longer, let them cool a bit, peel them and eat them. Unless you want to do it the "easy" way with Eggies. Using this "fast and easy" method, you simply use a paper towel to oil the top and bottom part of the capsule, then put the first three parts all together, crack your egg, put on the tops (by the way, nothing screws on easy), put them into the water to boil and then unscrew the middle piece, take the top off, and then squeeze the hard boiled egg out. Okay. There's no shell. So you can skip the peeling part. Now, after you enjoy your eggs (and you can only make 6 of them), you just take all 18 parts and wash them. The entire process from start to finish from oiling, assembling, boiling and cleanup? A mere 40 minutes when all I had to do was do it the regular way and be done in 15. Sidenote: I bought these for my mom at Saver's for $4 and thought they'd be an easy way to make hard boiled eggs for her she wouldn't have to peel because she was having trouble peeling them. I will just use the old-fashioned method and peel them for her and put them in a ready to eat dish.
