The one that gets to me is the automatic cheese grater. You hold the cheese to the grater, and it moves itself. C’mon - move your hand!

I think my favorite has to be the one that helps you make “healthy” doughnuts. Cause man, I’d make my own doughnuts all the time, if only they were “healthy!”
There’s nothing the Eggstractor can do that a five-pound sledgehammer can’t – and the sledgehammer isn’t a one-use space-taker-upper.
I have a Perfect Pancake maker. Everyone on my block does. Larry from across the street makes his living hauling trash, and he found a whole dumpster full of 'em last fall, so everybody got one. I don’t know if anybody’s ever used theirs, though…hold on, I’ll check.

I was thinking about getting an Eggstractor, not because I’m lazy. The thing with hard boiled eggs is the fresher they are, the harder they are to peel. Try it. Take some eggs you just bought, boil them then try to peel them - you’ll be lucky to get the shell off easily, no matter which cooking method you use. Try it again with some eggs that have been sitting in the fridge for a week - the old ones will peel easily. I do Atkins and HB eggs are a staple. I don’t always have week-old eggs sitting around, sometimes I must use fresh. I hate having to pick pieces of the shell off, and the eggs often come apart while trying to peel them, when they are fresh. I get aggrevated and end up throwing them out if too much comes off with the shell, so the Eggstractor could save me some money.
I have a lot of kitchen gadgets, I bought a sideboard to store them all. I fit my GF grill, crock pot, blender, stick blender, water boiler and ice crusher in there. I love gadgets to make my life easier.
Boscibo, try it under a gentle stream of lukewarm tap water. I’m curious to know whether it works as well for others as it does for me.
Are you guys serious? Sounds like a great way to choke to death some day.
Now potential criminals won’t be disuaded from their crimes by the prospect of first having to peel all 50 hard-boiled eggs. Thanks Eggstractor, because of you no parking meter is now safe.
Those 50 eggs were supposed to be peeled first? Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner? Now I’m MAD, not to mention sick!
Well, I do chew before I swallow.
Boscibo, c’mon, take a look at the instructions website. With all those caveats, precautions, and specific steps to follow, my feeling now is that the Eggstractor actually makes the task more difficult. BTW, it happens that I just bought some eggs last night (no telling how long they’ve been sitting in the store, I’ll grant you), boiled one up, dropped it in a glass of cold water, and peeled the shell off with no problems.
Here’s an easy way to scramble eggs: crack them into a wide-mouth jar, close the lid, and shake! shake! shake! As James Bond would say, “shaken, not stirred.” Who needs Ron Popeil?
I’m willing to try anything, so I boiled some eggs and tried peeling them under lukewarm water. My results can be seen here. These eggs were very fresh. I am holding off on the Eggstractor until I have heard if they can handle fresh eggs. I know the badly peeled eggs still taste the same, but if I happen to get a little piece of shell still stuck to the egg, that totally grosses me out.
Well…I actually own two of the colander pots. They are very handy. The perforations only cover about a third of the lid, and it doesn’t seem to affect the boiling times or heat retention of the pot measurably. The key advantage in using them is that you have one less item to clean afetrwards. Anyone who is too uncoordinated to pour pasta into a colander is too uncoordinated to cook, but one less item to wash is one less item to wash. 
Scrambled eggs take salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tobasco Sauce. Hot dogs are irrelevant to the issue, MsRobyn.
As for shelling hard-boiled eggs, I use a little device that clips on to the kitchen faucet. It pierces the egg shell, and sends a stream of water into the shell to separate it from the egg. Works like a charm, and saves a ton of time and effort when you are trying to make 2 dozen devilled eggs for a party, which seems to be the only time I make hard-boiled eggs lately.
I couldn’t agree more. The lady trying to flip pancakes in the Perfect Pancake commercial always cracks my shit up. I think I could flip a pancake better with a spatula shoved up my ass then she can with her right hand.
Great now someone is going to create the Ass Spatula - LEAVES BOTH HANDS FREE!
…and Boscibo will buy it. 
I can’t WAIT to see the commercial for this one :eek:
Quite obviously, that plate is your problem.
I don’t think I could get anything done right with something like that in the room with me.
Per Bridget Jones’s Mom, hawking these in the mall:
“Whoops, mind the overspray!”
I sure you just love more and more advice, but instead of lukewarm water, try cold water. If you read the Eggstractor instructions, you have to keep the eggs in icewater for 10 minutes, so I’m sure it’ll help with hand peeling.
And reading the small print of the Eggstractor instructions:
I find that I can easily peel even a fresh egg under a gentle stream of lukewarm tap water. I’ve also been told that I may listen to the radio at a reasonable volume.
Thank you, Libertarian, at least your mom taught you properly too.
When I saw that commercial, my first thought was, “What for? Peeling hard boiled eggs is easy!” Really - under a stream of cold water. (I always use cold, not lukewarm. Works for me.) No eggshells cling to the egg and the shell comes off really easily. Didn’t your mothers teach you properly?

Well, I can’t speak for anyone else, but my mother taught me not to be wasteful with water. When I’m done boiling eggs, I empty the hot water out of the pan and fill it with cold water, then I use that water to rinse the eggs as I’m peeling them.
