Lock and lock egg holder

Does anyone know if keeping eggs in this is a good idea. I thought they have to breathe but I am not sure. Tia.

I use them. They are sturdy enough to be stackable, which frees up a little space in my fridge.

Never heard that. But I don't see the point of taking eggs out of the carton to put them in another tray or container. I never keep the egg tray that comes with a new refrigerator. I find them annoying.

I have had the egg holder for awhile and do not have a problem with keeping eggs in it. In fact I prefer this holder for the eggs rather than the carton eggs are in when bought.

I have an 18 count and I always put my eggs in it. For one thing it's a sturdy container and if I get a little wobbly it doesn't tear or break apart like the cardboard kind. I've had this since they came out.

I don't know about eggs needing to breathe........but I was told e-ons ago that it's best to keep eggs in their cardboard containers....as supplied by egg producers.

Personally I wouldn't use hard plastic or rubber materials.

I heard the same except it said because you shouldn't put them in the door egg tray. You should keep them on the fridge shelf.

I have used a L&L egg keeper for many years, but I have to put a paper towel over the eggs, otherwise I get mold in the container and I use about a dozen eggs a week, so it's not like they get old.

I have used the egg holders for years with no problem - have never seen mold. I like them because I can stack other things on top. The only caveat I have is that the lid is not high enough for jumbo eggs.

I use it for hard boiled eggs only.

I have never had a problem with mold or anything else.

I didn't like them for two reasons. 1) Moisture would build up on the inside, and 2) I couldn't just grab the carton, flip up the lid, grab an egg, and push the lid back down all while standing at the fridge.I had to take the whole L&L container out of the fridge, place it on the counter, remove the lid, remove the egg, put the lid back on, and then put it in the fridge.

@angelina maria I have the Lock n Lock egg holder. It has little air holes all through it. It's not airtight/watertight like typical Lock n Lock storage containers. No worries, the eggs are breathing

I have 2 of these and they keep for several weeks.

I've had that L&L egg keeper for years (or at least an earlier version of it) and only use it for deviled eggs.

Never have seen a moisture buildup or mold. I wash the container and lid on top rack of the dishwasher--and let them dry completely-- before putting them away. Those L&L silicone seals sometimes need a long time to fully dry.

I see no need to put fresh uncooked eggs in a closed container like that. The foam or cardboard trays that the stores provide are fine with me until the eggs are cooked.

I have used the Lock &Lock egg holders for years & never had a problem ... the eggs are protected in the egg holders 😀

I had this and used it but stopped because I noticed mold on the eggshells in a short period of time. That has never ever happened with the cardboard container.

These might be nice to transport deviled eggs but that's about it.

@angelina maria I have the LocknLock egg storage container, but I don't use it anymore. The reason is because it holds too much condensation on the eggs and on the inside cover of the container. Hopefully, after not using it for about 3 years, I can find something else to use it for.
