Got hard boiled eggs? I got my EGGSTRACTORs!!!!





http://www.smartinventions.com/Egg.asp

I got 4 of them (with the egg slicers) for the price of one because I called with in 20 minutes of the commercial.

After reading the Eggstructions I began the process. How did this little marvel perform? Uh well let me say that it did a "superb job" and uh.....I "owe it a debt of gratitude".

:eyes::silly:

Actually it performed about as well as Rummy has which is to say like a freakin' piece of s**t

Half of the yellows were ejected and the white part stayed pretty much intact inside the shell. A few of them got about 70% of the whole egg out and one "exploded" on me which the Eggstructions actually warns about.

My Mother-in-law has already said that I can keep the one that I was going to give her. What am I going to do with the rest? Well I don't care what she says she is getting one as are my Mom and my brother.

Stupid piece of crap TV gimmick. I guess my Mom was right I shouldn't play with my food.

8. Well, gifts for people you're not especially fond of or close to.
Distant relatives, co-workers, that sort of thing.

Malted Mario would have a nervous breakdown.

I can see that thank you note now-Thank you very much for this.....uh badly designed piece of crap and waste of plastic.

Geesh come to think of it people are dying to get oil to make more eggstractors. Great now I have THAT on my conscious.

2. A much easier way to remove the shells
After boiling, run them under cold water for about 30 seconds. The shell comes right off - and you don't have to worry about eggs "exploding."

I must admit that I'm entranced by the accompanying photo of the Eggstractor in action. It's kind of soothing...

11. I can see why you broke down and bought one (or four)
It's hypnotizing. All of a sudden I'm hungry for perfectly shelled eggs coming from my very own Eggstractor. :silly:

14. What do I have to do to put you in an Eggstractor TODAY?
or put you together WITH and eggstractor today?

Now mind you not only do you get the two piece eggstractor but you ALSO get the egg slicer (oddly not a "Deluxe" eggslicer) AND an egg recipe book. That's alot of value for the $9.95 list price (plus $15 shipping and handling void where prohibited).

4. And don't forget....
if you are boiling fresh eggs, you'd better pin-prick a hole in them before dropping them in the boiling water; you'll never get the shell to separate from the white, even with cold water, otherwise.

Only old eggs peel their shells easily.

13. I never understood what was so difficult about peeling the shell off
If you do it under water, it comes right off.

23. What? The Microtouch?

Yep I got one of those last month. The war on nose hair is finally being won! Honest I really did get one (what is becoming of me?) and it works great..........MUCH better than the Eggstractor.
