The commercial is very funny. Does anyone know if it actually works?

It is funny isn't it -- I almost bought one to add to my collection (so far
1 item) of weird egg devices -- the one item in the collection makes
square (rectangular?) hard boiled eggs ... and no I have never tried it as
we don't eat hard boiled eggs cause no one likes them and I really have no
idea why anyone would want square hard boiled eggs -- and yes I do have
the mandatory deviled egg serving dish but that is not quite weird enough
to be considered part of the collection ...

I would never buy one because I generally don't like one-trick ponies (and
I really don't use that many hard boiled eggs) but I have to say, quite
clever!

Ok, I know it's kinda dorky, but I have bought one. I haven't gotten it yet,
but I'll be glad to let you know if it works when I get it in.

I hate peeling hard boiled eggs. I was always stuck with that job as a child
and hated it and still do as an adult. It will be interesting to see.....

There is also another type, cheaper and simpler, that attaches to the
kitchen faucet. A friend of mine who has one like this really likes it.

Ok, my Eggstractor came in today. Boiled some eggs right up. I always bring
mine to boil, remove from heat, cover, let sit for 10 minutes then put in an
ice bath for 10 minutes.

AFTER I did that...I read the directions that came with the box, It said not
to cook the egg over 8 minutes and be sure to put in cold water bath. Well I'd
already overcooked mine according to them.

It is tricky to get it to work. It does come with a "Trouble Shooting Guide".
My eggs kept tearing up when trying to use it. But I do think that I'll get
the hang of it and I do think it will work. They recommend large eggs and not
fresh eggs. I usually keep eggs for at least a week before I boil them, but
these were fresh.

You get two when you order. I ordered one for me and the other for my youngest
daughter's hope chest. She told me to give it to her older sister. I think
the jury's still out for her.

I'm glad I bought it, but it will be a lot of egg salad before I can get those
pretty eggs out of it that they do on the commercials!

These things are a riot. My SIL has asked me a number of times to solve
her egg-peeling problem. It seems to be the bane of her very existence.
I won't spend $20 on the eggs-tractor, but I might spring for the Walter
Drake version for her. :-) Thanks, Wayne!
