Has anybody else got one of these?

We have, and I must say it's absolutely brilliant. Now I'm not normally one for gadgets, but I love the fact that we can now keep our eggs in date-order (fresh from the top for poaching, and older ones from the bottom for baking).

The price is £18.95 inc P&P, and available in various different colours from www.egg-skelter.co.uk.

I should add that I have no connection with the company - I just think they're a great idea, and hence figured other members might think so too!

I use the egg tray in the fridge. Might just be me, but I can sort by laying order just as easily as spending 19 quid on a students A level project. $:-\$
£19 buys me a bag of pellets & a bag of hempcore. It just strikes me as "Lakeland catalogue" kinda thang.

Yes of course its an unnecesary gadget! but a novel one!

I dont keep my eggs in the fridge, never have done, I used to keep them in a cardboard tray until my greedy greyhound ate it and 36 eggs

Because eggs are porous it's not supposed to be good to keep them in the fridge as they absorb other flavours, so I'm told anyway

Wellieboots is of course right, and I wasn't trying to say that these were essential, just that I think they're a bit of fun. Besides, if they were in the Lakeland catalogue, guaranteed they'd be more than £20!

I think they look fun too - same vein as the banana holders imo

I'm pretty sure they are home/handmade by a small set up,??? I first saw them on the river cottage forum.

This gadget looks fab! I have 6 eggs a day, so I will have to stick to card boxes with a date written on them...I keep older ones in the fridge, fresh ones out for a week or so. Never had one tasting of salami so far, although that actually might be nice
