Egg Containers

I don't think Chris Pryme (sp?) was out the door and already there's an egg container to rival Lock'n Lock's. Goodness, Mark Charles sold the heck out of these things and I suppose it was a good job because the item sold out. I often wonder if LnL items are going to be a thing of the past. BTW, I've see very similar egg containers in retail for about $7 for 1. They were stackable, but the part that holds eggs didn't "slide" out.

@coffee drinker

I have a LocknLock egg container that I've been happy with. I wanted to look at whatever egg container you were talking about but I don't see it listed under Items Recently on Air. And I don't know who Mark Charles is, since I order from QVC dot com, not TV. More info, please?

I've never understood the need for an egg container. I've always just used the carton it comes in.

@shoesnbags Check item K68360. You'll see who Mark Charles is also. Last night they were sold out, but seems like they're available today. How does that happen? I also have LnL egg containers and they are just fine.

@CoffeeNut

Mine was part of a LnL set ordered from QVC. I decided to try it out and I've kept using it. We don't use many eggs, so I tend to keep them past the date on the carton. So far, they're keeping just fine so maybe the LnL container is helping. It definitely helps keeps the eggs from breaking when heavy handed Mr. Shoes handles the container lol.

@CoffeeNut Obviously, you didn't see the demo last night. Check item A68360 for the video. Don't you realize you can easily smash the original carton eggs come in. So many things can happen if you don't have these containers. I am being a bit sarcastic. Not to you, but regarding selling tactics.

@CoffeeNut I'm with you.....figure the farmer knows best. Carton

offers some breathing material = not smothered under heavy plastic.

@coffee drinker - Yeah, David went a bit loopy during this presentation last night, becoming more fixated than usual on the colors and then insisting on filling one of the trays at high speed before smashing the original egg carton to smithereens. Weird.

Never had a problem with the original containers they come in.

I've been using a similar product bought from Amazon for several years. The only difference is mine holds 16 eggs and were a lot cheaper.

@coffee drinker Mark Charles was repping for Copco's egg containers before Chriss Pryme of Lock and Lock retired.

These are different as they can be used slide out drawer which i think is handy. Alas, i cant afford such extras these days and will continue to use a carton which i have to take out of the fridge to use.

Lock and Lock isnt going anywhere in light of the ambassadors retirement. This us not a sign. There has always been other storage brands being sold besides those.

i have purchased great clear flat containers with lids from HOMEGOODS. i prefer having my eggs in those for protection and they just look nicer sitting in my refrigerator. they hold two dozen eggs which is essential during holidays.

I have been using these egg trays for over a year and love these containers. Mine are on the top shelf of my frig, very convenient with slide out tray and safe.

@CoffeeNut

Me too......Eggs in cartons are shipped, stacked on one another, for hundreds of miles in a tractor trailer, on the wonderful interstates, unloaded on pallets with a forklift, manhandled by the store clerks who are barely interested, and placed in stacks on the store shelves...

I bet in my life (67) I can count on one and a half hands how many broken eggs I've found in cartons. The foam cartons can withstand a LOT of pressure and weight, and the old fashioned cardboard ones do the job too...

If you stack TWO cartons in your fridge, it's not even close to how they're stacked in the wire cages they are trucked in!!!

But that's the power of TeeVee shopping....making you think the tried and true is junk and you NEED a 35 dollar plastic contraption with magical drawers to store your eggs.....!!

Actually, part of the fun of watching Q is the hyper contrived presentations telling you where you can use or wear the stuff, how much better it is than stuff you've used for decades that is cheap and worked just fine.(egg cartons)...or how out of touch you are cause you're still using a corded appliance instead of being able to mix glop in a bowl while you walk from room to room at a dinner party....

Imagine walking about with cordless mixer, mixing a goopy cupcake mix for your kids school tomorrow ( a popular meme!!!) or clumpy batter for 250 cookies,, and making a conversational point with someone you're talking too, forgetting you have that thing with the beaters spinning in your hand,, and you lift it out and spray glop all over your guest?!?!??!

One of the silliest contrivances are those lined shopping bags with shoulder straps that hold 150 cans of soda...who the heck can carry that around no matter what the special magic material those straps are made of?

And why would you?!?!?!?

I am done buying egg containers. Those air tight containers make the eggs sweat. I have on one occasion had the eggs get moldy.

I prefer the breathable cardboard containers over even the styrofoam ones.

I do like the open ended eggs dispensers though.

I have a couple like this for my eggs in the kitchen fridge. The lids don't seal, they just lay on top so air can get in and circulate. Spring thru the start of winter, I keep a couple dozen eggs in the house and overflow (in the original cartons) remains in the garage fridge. During winter, i don't use the garage fridge. I shop more often and only buy what I can keep in the kitchen fridge.

Had eggs grow mold on shells when using LnL egg container.

coffee drinker — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 12:09:52 GMT

@ladychas I had mold grow on eggs I stored in LnL containers. So now they're stored without lids in either LnL or similar to what @JeanLouiseFinch shows in her post.

This other egg container was available long before Chris P announced her retirement or left.
