Much better as Square eggs are eggs in a row. You can cut down slice by slice without head's or butt's

Well they aren't going to roll about so I guess it's kind of useful. Not that it's square. It's not two dimensional. It's a cube egg.

That little "all in one" coffee maker/toaster oven/frying pan device is for people like college students and people who live in a one room apartment boarding houses who don't have access to cooking appliances. It's just a little something to get them by. All you need is a mini fridge to go with it.

[@peterknutsen3070]

My guess on the transparent plastic gadget was, that it was meant for shaking garlic cloves to remove the skin. As for cubic hard-boiled eggs, I do think they have a lot of merit in packed lunches, as several such eggs are less likely to move about and bang against stuff. However, as someone with room for a dishwashing machine, it fails on my fourth criterion of cost-benefit when I have to manually wash it after each use. Especially when I’d really want 3 of them to use in parallel, then have to wash all 3. No!

[@netyr4554]

Unsolicited garlic peeling tip: Cut the root end off with a knife (big one), lay the flat of the knife on the clove, place the heel of your palm on the knife over the clove, push down forcefully with your body weight crushing the clove under the knife, the skin slips off of the crushed clove easily. Dicing the clove is optional, crushing is sufficient for most recipes.

[@batterybuilding]

@@Excludos maybe they don’t roll away?

@@Excludos I'm guessing it was meant to be part of the whole bento box fad from a while ago. A squished up cube egg would take up much less space in those little containers and be more aesthetically pleasing than a stack of round egg slices, since it's a square inside another square. Questionable usefulness these days, but at one point it had an actual purpose.
