**Egglet vs Hard-Boiled Egg: A Tale of Two Eggs**

When it comes to eggs, there's nothing quite like a perfectly cooked egg to satisfy your morning cravings. But have you ever wondered what happens when you take an egg and try to improve upon its natural state? Enter the egglet, a supposedly improved version of the humble egg that promises convenience, ease, and perhaps even some health benefits.

**The Egglet: A Little Bit of Translucent Wonder**

Let's start by comparing the egglet with our trusty hard-boiled egg in its shell. The egglet looks like it has been left out in the sun for a bit too long – a little bit translucent, a little bit creamy, and very oddly shaped. While our hard-boiled egg looks sturdy and unassuming, the egglet seems fragile and uncertain. "Let's compare it with our hard-boiled egg in the shell," we say, holding up both eggs side by side.

**The Texture: A Tale of Two Whites**

Now let's take a closer look at the texture of the whites. The hard-boiled egg looks completely cooked, while the egglet seems to be only partially done. "This looks like it's completely cooked really evenly," we observe, running our finger over the surface of the hard-boiled egg. But when we compare this with the egglet, we find that its texture is softer and jellier on one end, while feeling fine on the other. The whites are not too rubbery, but still seem to be undercooked.

**Flavor: A Sweet Surprise**

Despite its questionable texture, the egglet has a surprising advantage when it comes to flavor. "This tastes like a great egg," we say, popping the egglet into our mouth. But there's something different about this egg – perhaps it's the fact that it came from my own chickens? Yes, I find that homegrown eggs have a sweeter taste than store-bought ones.

**The Shape: A Little Bit Too Odd**

But while the egglet has won us over with its flavor, its shape is still a bit of a letdown. "This shape is just very odd," we admit, holding up the egglet for comparison with our hard-boiled egg. The outside is not smooth, and it's almost as if the silicone layer didn't quite adhere properly.

**The Omelet Version: A Squishy Surprise**

But wait – there's more! We also get to try an omelet version of the egglet, hoping that it will be a bit more cooperative. And while it does squish out easily, we're surprised by how much water is inside. "This one's full of water," we lament, watching as the liquid seeps out of the egg. It's almost like the egg has taken on a life of its own!

**The Final Verdict: Egglet Falls Flat**

After trying both versions of the egglet, it's clear that they just can't compete with our trusty hard-boiled egg. "I don't really care for the texture at all," we admit, wrinkling our nose in distaste. The egg itself is porous and spongy, and because water got in there, it tastes like flavored water – not good.

**Final Thoughts: A Lesson in Over-Improvement**

So what can we learn from this experience? It seems that sometimes, the best things in life are left unimproved. By sticking with traditional methods of cooking eggs, we can create a truly delicious and satisfying meal that's hard to beat. And as for the egglet? Well, let's just say it's safe to stick with our trusty old friend – the hard-boiled egg.

**Stress Balls and More: What Can You Use Egglets For?**

But even if you don't care for eating an egglet, there are still plenty of other uses for them. Why not try using them as stress balls or desk toys? They're small enough to fit in your pocket or purse, and their soft, squishy texture might just provide the perfect outlet for your frustrations.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engreetings my beautiful lovelies it's emmy welcome back to another gadget test today i'm going to be testing this and this is egglettes many of you have requested this after i did my eggies video i have tested many many egg gadgets and if you've missed those i will direct you to the playlist which includes the eggie which is quite similar and the rolly which makes a tube of egg that extrudes itself that one was pretty amazing so what egglets claims to do is that it hard boils eggs without the shell crack boil pop perfect hard-boiled eggs every time so it doesn't explicitly say but it does imply that the egg will come out of the egg lit easier and faster than it would out of a shell meaning the shell that the egg comes in so what i'm going to do is compare the egglet versus a regular egg in its shell see which one peels easier see if there's a difference in texture see if there's a difference in cooking time see if there's a difference in taste because we are boiling an egg in silicone and plastic versus you know the calcium shell that the chicken you know pops out of her bum for us so here's the egglets i purchased this at target and i believe i paid 9.99 for this and this container contains four egglets i like how they kind of package it like a carton of eggs two of these i've already washed but i just want to show you the packaging it also comes with a little booklet which i've read already and it says very very clearly inside the packaging as well right here and very clearly on the cookbook used with oil or cooking spray which says to me you must use cooking spray or oil otherwise the eggs won't release so now let me explain the construction of the egglets so it has this plastic top that unscrews and this is actually just one entire piece the egglets was i believe three pieces which is really actually kind of a pain i have noticed that the opening of this is much wider than the eggy which will make cracking the egg easier and there is a fill line that say that you're not supposed to pass and the material of this is different from the eggs as well this is a silicone kind of flexible material i like the fact that it's translucent so you can kind of see if the egg is cooked and this just screws right on top so the first thing we're supposed to do is liberally oil the inside of this the first technique they say is to add about a half teaspoon of oil in the cup and roll it all the way around and actually dump it out in your sink it says but i think what i'm going to do is just use this to boil my second eggie is this saving me time i don't know i would already be placing my eggs in boiling water at this point but we're gonna test this okay dump this excess oil out now i've got four eggs here all have been sitting on my counter for about an hour to get them kind of up to room temperature and now i'm going to crack one into here okay so that went in there very easily twist the lid on and that is done so i was thinking about this and i think the one perhaps advantage the egglets have to just a regular egg is the fact that you could make an omelette or like a flavored type egg this book includes a recipe section although most of the recipes are for just hard-boiled egg derivations like the deviled egg different kinds of deviled eggs making an egg salad which is just boiling an egg but there is one here for a mexican style omelette to that egg i'm supposed to add a teaspoon of salsa this is homemade salsa some cheese half a teaspoon and some parsley salt pepper mix that up pour that into the egglet top it up now that's ready to cook these are estimated cooking times but for hard boiled egg it should be 13 to 16 minutes so for comparison i'm going to also boil the eggs in their shell and this is my technique for getting perfectly boiled eggs that peel really easily i bring my water up to a rolling boil i let my eggs sit at room temperature for a little while so they're not so cold and they're less likely to crack when i place them into the boiling water you can also place your eggs directly out of the fridge into a bowl of warm water and that kind of tempers it a bit so they're less likely to crack when you put them in the rolling boiling water so the reasoning of putting the eggs into the boiling water is that it causes the egg to immediately cook and therefore contract and pull itself away from the inside walls of the eggs thus making it very easy to peel once they're finished cooking so it's always worked for me it's a technique i love so let's compare it with the egglet it's really steamy now i'm going to place in the egglets and my regular eggs one i'll do two two and i'm going to do 10 minutes for my hard-boiled eggs and 14 minutes for the egglets because that's what was instructed a total of 14 minutes alrighty see you back in 14 minutes so we're coming on 35 seconds for 14 minutes i've already taken my regular eggs out i took those out at 10 minutes and while my egglets have been cooking i noticed that this one has gone rogue i've tried to straighten it but it doesn't want to so that is the omelette egg and it has just that yeah just wants to do that it wants to be prone in the hot tub it wants to get the whole body effect so i'm not sure how that's going to affect its releasing ability if it's gone into the cap i don't know all right that is my timer for 14 minutes off and let's retrieve these this one i can just pull out by the handle this is the regular hard-boiled egg and that does look hard-boiled ooh looks like i got a little shell in there oops and here is the omelet and that looks cooked at least it looks solid so pop that in there so while the egglets are cooling i'm going to go ahead and peel my regular eggs because they've been sitting there for about four minutes and they're totally ready so regular egg tap tap tap another thing i like to do is actually roll the egg onto a surface that gets it really broken up i usually like to do this under some water in the sink to get the eggshell off but since i don't have that i'll just do that over this bowl of water so you just peel the egg like that and look how easily that peels and this is a very fresh egg these are eggs from my own chickens and this is peeling beautifully look at that gorgeous perfect egg took me all of five seconds to peel let me show you that again so egg cold water take it out tap it on the counter give it a good roll water you just peel it or don't if you don't have water look at that just coming right out just jumping out and the trick is to put your egg in boiling water immediately there's my egg beautiful get the membrane off no nicks no nothing so twist this off there is the egg and let's just see if it will pop out by just squeezing the silicone and when i did that with the eggies it did not work there is a bit of a suction i think that happens a vacuum but i'm hoping that this because this material is squishy i was hoping that it would just kind of pop out are you seeing this are you seeing the lack of okay oh there it popped out look at that there is some residual egg on the inside but not as much as in my other test that is an interesting shaped egg oh i did get some eggshell in there whoops and by the looks of it that might be a little bit gel in the middle so 14 minutes doesn't look like it was quite long enough maybe more like 16 minutes okay so now i have this to wash but not so much residue but didn't come out entirely cleanly as well and it is oily okay so let's cut this open oh very interesting looking egg the yolk is not round it's almost shaped like a paisley paisley shaped egg yolk okay and it's fully hard boiled here and it's a little bit undercooked as does the white which is actually fine by me i liked my hard-boiled eggs slightly underdone i like it when the yolk is a little bit translucent like that a little bit more creamy very oddly shaped egg let's compare it with our hard-boiled egg in the shell there is my hard-boiled egg that looks to be more cooked and it is completely cooked let's compare the texture of the whites now this looks like it's completely cooked really evenly while this one feels very soft and jellied on this end this side feels fine it's a little bit thinner here salt and pepper let's try the egglets first here we go itadakimasu and that's fine the whites are not too rubbery they're cooked just fine tastes like a great egg let's try this side that's a little bit less cooked that's actually a really tasty egg but it came from my chickens i find that homegrown eggs taste a little bit sweeter to me the texture on this side is fine too it's a little softer and jellied i actually don't mind that at all i like my eggs like i said a little undercooked anyways at least my hard-boiled eggs and yeah that's fine the shape is just very odd it's just very unnatural looking the outside is not smooth even though it had that silicone layer it's kind of popped and it just doesn't make for a very beautiful presentation unless you're serving alien eggs all right let's just try our hard-boiled egg beautifully cooked egg delicious sweet flavor the proportion of yolk to white is much more even in this egg than the other egg now let's try the omelet version and i'm hoping this one squishes out easily whoa okay i squeezed that one okay this one's full of water oh no look at that that's gross okay maybe this has to do with the fact that this was lying on its side but this is filled with oily water that's gross and that's my egg oh my gosh i don't think i have to worry about this one releasing from the sides of the egglet there wow that is very unappetizing the surface is very wrinkled it almost looks like a lemon that's been through some sort of unflattering aging process i would say so as we did with the other eggs let's cut this one in half oh interesting so it looks like the yolk and the white separated a bit and all of our toppings separated as well so initially it looked like it sat upright in the water because all the toppings kind of floated to the top this is of course upside down because we had it in the egg like this all right let's give this a taste i can already feel that it's very very rubbery in texture very bouncy wow yeah i don't really care for the texture at all the egg itself is porous and spongy and because water got in there it tastes like a sponge that's absorbed a lot of water flavored water yeah that's not very good at all perhaps if it hadn't taken on water it would have tasted better it's really difficult to say the texture of the egg itself is just very odd not quite scrambled eggs not hard-boiled not like any egg preparation that i've ever had and not one that i particularly care for so final thoughts on the egglet versus the egg once again the egg reigns supreme as long as you have the correct technique there is nothing wrong with cooking a beautiful egg in its beautifully natural shell this is just superfluous not only are you spending money on purchasing this thing you're adding additional oil to it you have to wash it before and after and it takes more time so there really isn't any benefit to this at all compared to this and it says also not to store your cooked egg in this material while when you cook a hard-boiled egg that's one of the beauties of it you've got the shell and it's portable and you put in your lunch box and it's great i love hard-boiling these in advance and then the next morning giving one to my son i pour some boiling water on top of it let it sit in there for about a minute to warm it back up and then he's got a warm hard-boiled egg for breakfast love it complete protein portable charming what's not to love right here right here everything is right here you don't need this alrighty i hope you guys enjoy that little gadget review i hope you guys learned something let me know if there are any other gadgets you'd like to see me
