I will never understand why I click these videos so quick when I know I have zero intention on ever buying an egg gadget, or really any gadget you show. Props to you for that.
My mom recently questioned why I was watching him review hotdog gadgets when I hate hot dogs. 😂
Eggs never seem to roll down those fancy storage racks very well; but if you sit one on the counter and turn your back it'll roll onto the floor right away 😅
Egg holding devices are always so odd to me. I always leave them in the box/container they come in
Oh and stop buying from Temu!
The only one that seems useful was the rolling one, if they made the angle a little steeper it would be better.
I remember a few years back GE made a "Smart" egg tray. It (intermittently) talked to an app to keep track of how many eggs you had left, and how long each egg had been sitting in the tray. (Because looking in the carton to see how many you have, and keeping an eye on the expiration date is Too Hard, I guess.) As you might guess, it was not a success.
The only way I see a plastic egg holder being useful is if you have access to farm fresh eggs that don't come in a carton, so you have to store them yourself.
The collapsible egg holder gives a false sense of more room in the fridge. There's only more room if you are down to two eggs and don't buy more. Restocking will expand it out again. You could just stack two egg cartons and use the same space and store double the eggs.
Exactly what I do so I had the same reaction.
Yolk is naturally gonna float to the top of the egg, you should try the egg cracker with it upside down over the bowl so the metal prongs go in from the bottom and thus won’t hit the yolk.
My thought exactly.
THANK YOU OMG.... SITTING HERE SCREAMING AT THE SCREEN!
Ha ha thank you
Yup. He’s usually more thorough and smarter than this.
You're not smart.......he cracked it on the side......great story
As someone who makes scrambled eggs multiple times a week and still struggles to not get egg and shell all over, the egg cracker might be just what I need. The fact that it cracks the yolk is an added bonus.
The Eggstra just seems to take up more height in the fridge and you cant stack anything on top (like 2 packs of eggs). Just seems like more work transferring them in and out (and the added chance of dropping/knocking them) than using the carton that protects the eggs. None of these pass the usefulness test to me.
The egg carton serves the purpose of keeping eggs from absorbing odors from the other foods in the refrigerator but I guess if your household uses eggs quickly, the egg dispensers might work nicely.
The egg cartons that they are sold in also keep them fresher longer. Even my friends who have chickens will reuse containers from store bought eggs to store their eggs in.
And, I like the price.
Everything I've read about storing eggs say to keep them in the container you bought them in. I used to store my eggs in the plastic container that came with my fridge until I read about properly storing eggs.
I often have more than a dozen eggs in my fridge and I just use the cartons they come in, putting the older carton on the bottom. Never had a problem with that (over 40 years). If I have only a few eggs and I’m in need of space, I cut the empty part of the carton off. I’ve had a plastic egg carton, that has a lid, for years which I use occasionally if the store carton gets wet or an egg breaks on the way home from the store and I need to remove the eggs. All of the egg storage (or cracking) devices I see here or online seem to make things more complicated.
My refrigerator usually doesn't smell terrible.
For the egg cracker: if the reason you're breaking the yolk every time is due to it floating, just turn the egg cracker upside down *before* inserting the metal pokers. You're going to put it in that position to open it and drop the egg anyway. The egg-star space requires you to reach to the eggs to take them out, so unless you're storing things behind it as it gets smaller it isn't helping. If you cannot reach what you put behind it then how is it saving space? The other egg dispenser looked like a bad idea over all and did not work reliably. The deviled egg cutter worked just fine though I don't know how necessary that gadget was. One can do that by hand. Though I guess it is nice for those who cannot otherwise do it by hand. So to me your first two products displayed were the winners today even if they're not strictly needed. The third one seemed pointless if you really think about things are put in the fridge and the last one was a total flop.
I agree the last two items were unnecessary if not useless. And what would you do if you bought a second dozen eggs? Most people stack the egg cartons on top of each other, but you couldn't with these products. The last one was the worst because it caused the eggs to fall against each other at one of the weakest part of the egg. I think the deviled egg cutter was a good idea and it's really quick. Something even later age kids could do reliably as deviled eggs are usually among some of the earliest cooking recipes for kids because it's so easy. As for the egg cracker, I'm not sure if the egg yolk floats or not, but if the metal insert was wider and not deeper, it might have worked just as well without cutting into the yolk no matter what direction it was held in. The only restriction might be the required size of the eggs you would need to use with it. I've never known anyone to buy small or medium sized eggs, but an insert might take care of that, too.
Well, the deviled egg cutter did make decorative cuts; those would be hard to do by hand quickly.
I'm definitely going for the "Generic Egg Dispenser." We have chickens and I collect 3-5 eggs everyday. It's a trick to keep track of them and use the oldest eggs first. With the dispenser, I can just add the incoming eggs to the top and cook eggs coming off the bottom. Love it!
The orange egg cracker can be made to not break yolks, I glued half a toothpick under the metal, on both sides, so they can't poke in as far. No more broke yolk!!
I love how this guy reviews the most randoms stuff and makes it entertaining
I think the slider is a perfect example of “just because it’s cheaper, doesn’t mean it’s a better deal”
Some eggs he didn't put sideways. They must be sideways to roll.
Another eggceptional and eggcellently eggsecuted video! I get so eggcited by seeing such eggstraodinary and eggstremely thought out egg gadgets! All yolking aside, shell I spend money on these?
A+! Very Punny!
😂😂
Egg Lord Returns 😅
These are eggzactly the type of reviews I come here for.
I believe the egg cutters are more for Japanese bento boxes rather than deviled eggs, which is why they have the smiley face stamps on the ends (and why the the packaging looked like it was probably in Japanese lol.) Love the channel! 😊
Yeah, I won't say I'm perfect at it, but that text seems to be Japanese to my eye, and I can see that they would like it for cute bento for children.
Definitely looks like a bento tool. I'd love to use them for devilled eggs or hard boiled eggs for a party though. And yeah that's definitely katakana on the back
You may be right, and they've repurposed them by marketing them as a deviled eggs tool, as their Amazon and Temu listings show!
Love your channel, been a viewer for years. I think all of these items fall in the category of not necessary.
The egg cartons that they are sold in also keep them fresher longer. Even my friends who have chickens will reuse containers from store bought eggs to store their eggs in.
No doubt about it, James is quite the eggxpert!
Egg cracker works great if you bake a lot. We do a lot of baking, and I have arthritis in both hands, this has made baking easier and I'm not getting shell fragments to scoop out.
Brandon: Hey dad wanna have dinner tonight? James: Sure! How do you feel about eggs with a side of eggs? 😆
I believe the first gadget may work better if you put the egg in and close it. Then, instead of pushing the prongs into the egg, just tap the prongs on the counter, just like you would crack an egg without the gadget. I think that would crack the shell without breaking the yolk (unless you tapped it hard enough to push the prongs all the way in).
Prongs have to be inside the shell to separate them. They made it long so it can work with different sized eggs. Maybe too long.
Could one prong be used to crack it? And maybe light press once you puncture it, would that make sure no broken yolks, just open it like you would a normal egg
Prongs need to be in to hold the shell but instead of opening with the prongs on the bottom use it sideways will not break the yolk i bet it is not the cracking that breaks it it is the dispensing
Maybe if you don't flip it upside down but release the egg sideways the prongs might not cut into the yolk.
Turn the contraption with the prongs on the bottom. Problem solved.
Egg gadgets tend to be one of the purist examples of overthinking a non-issue, or otherwise an extremely specific/niche use-case, which is typically perfect for As Seen On TV-style stuff. It's very entertaining to watch them in use though, thanks for the review!
I was waiting for the smiley face in the boiled egg😂
Me too!😊
I believe the egg decorator cutting tools are pretty good if you're making deviled eggs for a gathering. Seems like they're just long enough to go lengthwise too which would help with not overlapping cuts in the egg. I feel like the cutters could be improved but over all not a bad product.
Am I the only one who thought the deviled eggs were awfully sloppy? It’s faster and more attractive to cut them with a knife. I’d never put those things on a tray to serve guests.
The rolling egg dispenser is like the soda dispenser we used to have. It got bothersome to load after awhile.
I've been using the HapiLeap Fridge Drawer Organizer for about a year now. It attaches under a shelf and holds at least 18 eggs. Out of the way, and very sturdy.
Just bought one thanks to you haha have to try it out
Well.....cracking an egg is too complicated? Good Ole fashioned way is best
Cant wait for the update vid on this one. Thanks as always James!
I have enjoyed this channel for years now. Thank you for the great content, sir!! 💯
I bought my wife a waffle maker of his recommendation. She loves it! ( i don't eat waffles or pancakes 🤢)
As always a great video, you have the most logical and thorough reviews out there. You ask all the questions that I'm thinking as you're testing the items and approach them with fair measurements and tests
These gadgets will end up taking space in kitchen drawers and finally end up at Goodwill.
Eggs keep better in a closed container. I wouldn't bother with those dispensers.
Eggs come with a free storage dispenser.
Glad you tested two dispensers... you don't wanna put all you eggs in one basket!!!
I love the EZ CRACKER that you tested, use it every time.
I don't know why but you often make me laugh and I thank you!
All of these are just ways to empty your bank account.
Love the egg cracker. I always get shell in my scrambled eggs
Another example of a solution looking for a problem.
Beside not being about to stack anything on top of the eggstra, it still wastes space unless you are going to put stuff behind it which needs to be tested. Fill it up then take it in and out of the fridge
The Egg Cracker, in your final conclusion, you forgot the Positive Point of no shell pieces in the bowl. This is an outcome that you & countless others wanted.
Dang he does so many egg gadgets he has a dedicated egg fridge
Eggs cartons are better than either of those egg holders and one heck of a lot cheaper and compact! Cheers, Rik Spector
Just have a wire frame basket for eggs, it is shaped like a chicken and holds about 25 large eggs, a few more after a game of tetris. We store them in the cupboard because eggs aren't washed here in Australia.
The Eggstra Space is also a visual reminder when you need to purchase eggs without having to open the container
That Eggstra Space storage thing seems like a nice idea but then it's like. Are you going to rearrange everything in your fridge as the number of eggs decreases? It doesn't seem very helpful, and you're still wasting so much space on top of it. Personally I use a storage bin that came with a previous refrigerator (that I've kept around) that stores 12 eggs and is stackable, and I usually put other stuff on top of it. Which you can also do with, y'know, an egg carton.
If I need to buy a gadget to crack an egg I'm just going to stop cooking forever
Love your uploading consistency! You’re my favorite creator too watch during my lunch break! Without fail engaging content! Edit: (spelling errors)
Egg-cellent review as always James, thanks! 😅❤
The problem with the Eggstra Space is that you want your eggs to be as far back in the fridge as possible.
Those little egg cutters are adorable!
Thanks for showing support for Maui. Aloha.
It blows my mind people need a gadget to crack eggs 😂
Cracking all those eggs, this video had to be one of your most expensive ever made
I had a garage band named "The Broken Yokes" back in the day.
Loved your story on don't sweat it! 👍
I'm in the camp of "broken yolk is fine". When I fry eggs for a meal, I put them in the pan, then use the flipper to break the yolk (because I like my eggs over hard). Then, when I'm making scrambled eggs, omeletes or using the eggs in baking, well, the yolks aren't supposed to survive, so breaking it is also fine! Neat egg cracker but honestly, I think it's faster to just do it by hand. The egg cutters are cute. The Egg-stra Space is a neat gadget, but I never have enough stuff in the fridge to find an egg carton to be taking up too much space. I agree that the other one with the ramp is not a good idea.
My egg dispenser from Amazon works great. I put them in from the top as my chickens lay. I like that it helps me keep the oldest ones served first and it accepts eggs of all different sizes.
The producer of the egg cracker should make the points on the prongs shorter.
Again, who thinks of stuff like this? I loved the conveyor belt eggs, I can just imagine that heavier eggs will shoot a dozen or so eggs on the floor while you're frantically trying to catch them. The collapsing egg tray wasn't a bad idea, but it takes vertical space in the fridge, something a regular egg crate doesn't do. As always, thank you for your time and effort to make these videos.
I stack two cartoons on top of each other in the fridge. I’m fine with that. Your deviled eggs looked good!
Egg slid holder would also be good on the counter for holding the eggs at room temperature for baking.
Extra space one. :)
I appreciate no #2 in a product I order from the Internet. Thanks!
Ahhh yes, egg dispenser, a.k.a. "the carton the eggs came in." I get a free one every time I buy eggs!
I am not going to lie this will be the last Egg Gadgets video I will watch. way to many.
2 notes. Egg cracker prolly wont crack yolk if u push prongs up into yolk instead of down into it. Yolk floats. 2. I have that temu egg roller. Top layer rolls much better if u stack the back egg on top of the bottom so you're actually fitting 15
Thanks James ❤
Love the egg cracker. It is the best of all those I tried. You can do it without cracking the yolk, it just takes a little practice. Let it sit with the prongs upright for a few seconds for the yolk to drop by gravity. Perfect yolk every time.
The egg cracker will work for me since I only like my eggs scrambled. i may have to get this one. Thanks for the video. Great job😊
Ok ive made up my mind im officially going to create an egg product just to get it reviewed here lol
The egg dispensing gadgets are fine and all (and the "Eggstra Space" dispenser is kind of a neat idea), but they seem unnecessary as eggs already come in a dispenser from the store (and some fridges have a built in spot for eggs if you want to take them out of the carton).
A broken yoke ruins my day.
There he goes again, James being the Eggman but not the walrus, maybe next time....great video as always James 👍 Happy Sunday 🎉
Both are awkward lol.. Takes more work to set it up. Very niche product if you're super limited in space and this thing fits perfectly. They should just make an egg dispenser instead of an ice dispenser for fridges by default haha
Starting off a great Sunday, Freakin!
Do not press the prongs all the way in to stop avoid breaking the yolk. Just press them slowly until you hear a crack and open 😉
Have you ever reviewed the "Crack 'em"? It's for cracking eggs, but it's just a piece of molded plastic with a ridge down the middle. Dirt cheap and works great breaking open eggs.
The best egg cracking tool I ever used was the old one from the as seen on TV ads that was white and you put the egg in the little holder at the end and pull the handles together and a small razor blade cracked the egg. I had one and loved it. I didn't use the little yolk catcher attachment very often but as far as it cracking eggs it worked well. I personally think it was one of the best egg cracking models.
I think James reviewed that one a while ago in his big egg cracker video!
@@soogymoogi I think so too. I was thinking he reviewed it but couldn't remember if it was him or not. I loved the one I had.
I'd be too embarrassed to admit I can't crack an egg.
You are truly the Egg-man, goo, goo gooju ;)
30 egg gadgets, and now another 4. You have lots of junk in your house. :)
Egg gadgets on Freakin' Reviews? Hell, yes.
The egg duspenser upper rack needs to be a few more degrees angle to work properly. To compensate for the fact that not everyones house is perfectly level.
With the collapsible one I feel like they would be really susceptible to getting bumped and knocked over as you're taking other things in and out of the fridge.
The eggstra space is a cool idea but if you use eggs enough your gonna keep egg’s stocked up so by the time your saving any real space you’ll be buying more
Am I the only one that wanted to see him close the egg-stra space hard while it was still loaded up and just guillotine a dozen eggs?
Probably.
@@BrittMFH 😆
On the iPhone you can take a pic of a foreign language and you can translate it. I love the eggstra space!
on the cutters, I kind of wonder if length wise wouldn't work better if you.... -Start on a long edge -"roll" the cutter around the egg instead of rolling the egg on the cutter.
The egg cutter has on the package so these are probably meant for bento boxes.
😂thanks so much!
Who knew we needed a device to crack open an egg?
Eggcelent video. No yoke!
I never thought that going through life that I had to worry about my egg yoke being broken.
The generic dispenser looks just like soda can dispensers I've seen.
You didn't stamp the smiley face into the eggs...😭😭😭🤭😂
Thanks for the video
I have an egg cracker that's like tongs. It has a very small blade that moves up then out spreading the egg shell a part. I have the same problem with the yoke. Probably a way to keep the yoke away from the blade as that is what's breaking it. But I eat scrambled so it doesn't matter.
The Eggstra Space (collapsible egg caddy) is by far the best product of the bunch in this batch. I know you were pulling it forward during the fridge demo to show the action to the camera, but in a "real world" application, it's supposed to be tucked into the corner, and you simply collapse it into the back while going through the dozen eggs, instead of a mostly empty box after you make a few breakfasts. I'm also curious about the fridge demo overall. Did you simply move them into the fridge, and start recording, or did you let the devices come down to fridge temperature? I think a big part of why the "dispenser" gave you trouble was because the plastic was room temperature, and more flexible than it would be after chilling. Don't get me wrong, I was terrified the entire time you used it, but I want it to make sure it gets a fair shake.
Try the egg cracker where you do not flip the egg cracker upside down but sideways so the prongs, which is what is what is actually breaking the yoke.
Yes!!! The Egg Guy is back!!!
The Egghead does an eggstrodinary job at egg product reviews.
