St Landrew Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 Whenever I get a good idea, which isn't often I have to say; I usually find that after a good think through of all the stumbling blocks, there is at least the last one which suggests - it'll never catch on. Well this probably will catch on. But in all honesty, it really shouldn't. I mean, how little an effort is it to crack an egg, and what an already superb container the shell is for the contents..? I want the shells for my compost heap too. Bet the plastic cartons don't get properly recycled either. Annoyingly bad idea.
Johnny Bognor Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 I looked into this in the early nineties after seeing a product in the states called "better than eggs". Quick and easy for omelettes, scrambled eggs and for other cooking. Importing was out of the question, due to shelf life so it was a case of having to have it made here. The supermarkets weren't interested, so I canned the idea. Suppose I was ahead of the game.

Liquid eggs have been used in catering for many many years, for their convenience. How do you think McDonald's 'eggs' are made?

Al de Man Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 I have this great idea of putting milk it cardboard containers which you can store easily and access in an instant from your fridge. Just for the convenience of the people too lazy to milk their cow each each morning. I can't see it catching on though.

Yes in catering I can see the neccessity. But for the domestic market..? Do you know, I've never had a MacDonald's Egg Mcwhatever they call them..? I wouldn't knowingly step within 100 yards of one of their establishments, so it looks like that isn't going to change.
sotonjoe Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 They've been available through certain suppliers for ages. Bodybuilders use them so they can bang out quick omelettes or just drink them raw.

Call me a traditionalist in certain things, but I reckon odd bits of progress almost don't need to be made. It's like the development of the plastic clothes peg, when the superior product was already there in the wooden one. By the way, how would one get a perfectly poached, fried or boiled egg with the yoke in the centre from the liquid..?

jawillwill Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 I know I'm going to get the sh!t ripped out of me for saying this, but I have an unusal phobia for cracking eggs, so personally I think this is a great idea.
Block 18 Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 Cant see me using this product, I'm proud of the fact that I can crack an egg into a pan one handed with either hand
hamster Posted 14 March, 2009 Posted 14 March, 2009 ...like the development of the plastic clothes peg, when the superior product was already there in the wooden one. Eggsactly. What this chap said.. Actually we could hhabe a poll: Plastic pegs or wooden pegs? Note:I am biased as Mrs hamsters Grandmother made a livig from them.
