Eggies! Is this really LESS work?

I impulse bought something today..... and thought I'd try it out. It was only because I was craving egg salad sandwiches this weekend. I don't mind peeling eggs (hardboiled), but sometimes I lose a lot of 'egg' with the shell. We'll see if this works.

I should have taken a photo of all the parts to this contraption. It has a base, a top, a middle 'collar' to hold the two together and then a 'lid'. They all screw together (although you can see by this photo above that I must not have screwed some part tight enough. oops......

These two I separated, they didn't really fit in the other pot (too snug to move), and I seasoned these. You will see a photo later.

Now this is the bread I got from Great Harvest Bread co. in town....They call it Stuffed Potato Bread. Yum! Ingredients are broccoli, potato flakes, chives, sour cream, onion, cheddar cheese (and possibly garlic-I didn't taste it). ( wanted to make a hard boiled egg sandwich on this.

I took the 'lid off one container that was seasoned with salt, pepper, Sylvia's secret seasoning... Looks good.


The other one, I seasoned with salt, pepper and dill.

The only bad thing I saw was that some 'leaked' and one created a 'tadpole' (as my grandson called it). I threw it in the bowl when I made the egg salad mixture.

These are what they looked like when I opened up the top halves off. I think I'd like to pour scrambled eggs in them instead of 'dropped egg' in them. Maybe with some sauteed peppers and onions, ham and cheese...hmmm, what ideas you can come up with.

They sliced really nice and worked well.
So, you ask, what was the downfall? Cleaning all the parts with a scrub brush!! Yes, I wiped veg oil inside before adding egg, but the crevasses had cooked egg stuck to them. Pain to clean up. Maybe I'll stick with the peeling. Not sure it's worth the $9.99 at Michael's.
