I have something similar to this, from the Japanese dollar store. They sell for about $1 each so you can buy as many as you need - and yes, they're great for devilled eggs and kids' meals.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I have one that makes fish shaped hard boiled eggs. Hilarious in lunches lol

[@Sarafimm2]

I was going to say that Japan probably had something similar for multiple eggs because of their Bento/Lunch Boxes. But if you can buy them so cheaply, it'd just be easier to buy however many you'd need as long as you had the space for them.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I was thinking of Japanese cubed watermelons while watching this 😅

[@beez1717]

This seems like an awesome idea. It would save space in the fridge if you eat a lot of hard boiled eggs and you are putting them in a container.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

@@Sarafimm2 I originally bought my first one because my bento box was made to hold cubed eggs. You can even decorate the eggs to look like dice, with little pieces of olives.

[@mrscrappz1063]

This DOES have a purpose. These are to fit inside Japanese bento boxes, lunches that wives prepare for their husband and children to take to school/work. The cube shape makes them fit perfectly into the box.

[@Dessamator]

I think this product was originally meant for Bentos? To fit in the box better, and there's usually only one egg in a lunch at a time. I think each home made bento is done fresh each day.

[@gerardmcquade9102]

[@nobonux9843]

I guess if you want to optimize the assembly line for cubeness maybe have 2-3 devices so the eggs can stay longer in the device before having to be removed.

[@why6212]

This device should be $20 and a single rack with 6-12 screw-top slots for eggs.

[@SquishySenpai]

Another good way to cook eggs that's really consistent is to use a vegetable steamer basket. Fill the pot until the water is just below the basket, bring to a boil, add eggs and cover. Soft boil is 8 minutes, hard at 11 when eggs are fresh from the fridge. Another good thing about this technique, the water is boiling in just a minute or two.

[@caittails]

I like the idea of pranking people by giving them a marshmallow that’s actually a hard-boiled egg. 😂 I guess the texture would give it away, though.

The cool thing about the concept of a cube shaped egg... is that then you can slice it for a neater sandwich or something.

[@AliP1970]

An easier way to peel an egg without losing any is to tap the hollow end (it's usually easy to determine) on a hard surface and then peel it away. Doing it this way breaks the membrane that the egg is in. Just my 2¢ 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks for great videos!!

[@phreakout93]

From the very start of the video I was like man I want to know how those make deviled eggs and by golly James you delivered. This is why you're the best

[@penjim2013]

Hello James, The square egg might be gimmicky, but slicing it for sandwiches will make tidy sandwiches for people like myself who are a bit ocd about certain things. 😊 I definitely like tidy sandwiches with the contents to the edges and no gaps, so this would be perfect....but a bit pricey. I love your videos and I'm still catching up with them, but I did just buy one of the No spill drinks carriers, on the strength of your demonstration, and I'm really pleased with it. Thank you. Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧

[@Oceangirl_505]

This would work Great for a sandwich! An interesting side note: my Mom always put a hard boiled egg on cheese sandwiches. When we were grown, my brother asked her why. She said that she was trying to get protein down us any way she could. To this day, none of us can eat a cheese sandwich without a hard boiled egg on it.

if you want easy to peel eggs, pierce the big end, use a steam cooker like the Cuisinart to hard "boil" them, then use a spring loaded egg capper to remove the big end and then the egg just pops out of the shell like a watermelon seed popping out of your fingers when you squeeze it.

My father was a patent attorney back in the 60’s-90’s. He worked with the inventor on getting the patent for the square egg maker. The inventor thought that everyone in the US would want one! His reason was that there were many appetizers that had the square shape like the square rye bread and cheese that were made for his square egg maker. He believed that you would get the full bread covered with his invention. My father passed the prototype down to me and I went to many parties where it was the topic of conversation on how I made the square eggs. It was so much fun!!!!!

[@nucleuscyborg5036]

I bought the SCI egg cube gadget after watching this video. It was delivered yesterday and so today I wanted to try it out. I boiled three eggs and after they were done I scooped one out while leaving the other the pot of hot water after taking the pot off the burner and leaving the e lid on to keep the water warm. The first one was a little hot. I ran some cold water on it so I could peel the egg. I used eggland best eggs. They say they were large, but maybe not quite large enough. The final product was definitely cool looking, but the egg wasn’t exactly a squarish cube. The corners on every side are a bit roundish. As of this moment two are out of the mold while the third is in the fridge. The eggs are very pleasing to the eye. Three eggs, 20 minutes egg so about an hour to prep. I think it’s worth it. I eat a lot of boiled eggs so Maybe not something I would do every time, but still worth it. I compare it to colored eggs you might make for Easter. As long as the eggs weren’t cracked while dying the eggs you can still peel and eat the boiled egg inside. Of course you’re not going to boil and dye your eggs every time. I think the SCI egg cyber is an awesome gadget.

[@meauxjeaux431]

Best peeling method is to 1st crack the egg in a few areas, then roll it around on a hard surface using your palm until the whole shell is broken into very small pieces. The shell comes right off. As good as that works, it works even better if you use older eggs. Older eggs peel a lot easier, even without using that method.

[@sandybruce9092]

The easiest to peel hard boiled eggs I have ever made are with the instant pot. Place about a cup of water in the bottom of the pot and then put the trivet in the pot. Put the eggs on the trivet (as many as you want) and then pressure cook manual for 5 minutes. When the 5 minutes is up let the eggs remain in the pot an additional 5 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling. I think you will be amazed at how easily the eggs peel. I have used this method to hard boil my eggs ever since I discovered it.

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

Easy peel hardboiled eggs: take from boiled water (or InstantPot which I now use!). Put in cool water. As soon as you can touch them, hit each end to crack shell and back in cold water. This allows water to seep between egg and the shell and they peel very easily!
