anyone else have the eggstractor?
My sister got me one as a gag Christmas gift. I love it. It doesn't work perfectly, but pretty close. I love smashing the plastic thing down and having a peeled hard boiled egg come out. I just used it to make some tuna salad (which was delicious on toast by the way) and it worked wonderfully. Anyone else have one? And if so, can you make the egg come out without ANY shell? I usually have a little left.

4. I like it. Very cool. Does it work anywhere near as well as it looks?
Or is it another typical late night TV gadget that fails to fulfill expectations?

5. mine works pretty well
sometimes I get the egg out without any shell, other times I have a little left on the round end. I have't quite mastered the eggstraction process.

12. Hit and miss-sometimes it just de-yolks them
the key is to let the eggs cool for the sufficient amount of time.

17. Wife got one as a gag gift
And the people giving it liked the slicer and kept it.
Anyone got ideas for a revenge gift?

20. My brother noted that that is the only egg slicer not called "Deluxe"
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 03:05 PM by underpants
that he had ever heard of. It's just an egg slicer not a DELUZE egg slicer
