Infomercialism: Eggstractor

[@MrGreenYeti]

You think with the power of deduction reasoning, Mike would notice after 2 attempts that the only part remaining was the overly cracked bottom, and not crack it as much on the third go.

[@llamasandanime]

MrGreenYeti you're new to this channel aren't you? Lol

[@AlyxxTheRat]

He's infamously oblivious to the obvious

[@MrGreenYeti]

No actually, it just baffles me he's still oblivious.

[@natfailsyoutube8163]

I wonder if on some level it's ironic watching Mike seem to unduely struggle with these things given infomercials wont for showing unbelievable amounts of struggle to preform the "before" task

[@ManOutofTime913]

Well, after he couldn't figure out not to put the Strutz on upside down with the box, instructions, and the informercial itself on hand to tell him how to do it correctly, and ignored the comments of the video telling him exactly how badly he screwed up, I've pretty much given up hope of him even caring whether he's doing it right or not.

[@Valfaun]

i actually kinda like peeling eggs by hand. it's oddly satisfying to get the shell off in (mostly) one piece. however, i'd be curious to see a steroid version of this thing, involving an industrial air compressor

[@naranciaisbestboi125]

It'd be an egg launcher!

I love how the commercial also tries to sell you eggs. It's like "What, you don't have a problem with opening eggs because you don't eat eggs? Well, eat some friggin eggs! You know... Proteins!"

[@JeremyPeeples]

The mere notion of a child willingly choosing an egg over literally any other kind of snack is just hilarious.

[@turrboenvy4612]

Where does the bottom of the shell even go in their dramatization? It's not attached to the discarded husk. I guess we know why they used white eggs instead of brown ones. Also, it's incredibly simple to just shock the eggs with ice water after you boil them, and the shell just pops off.

[@AnakhaSilver]

He overly cracked the bottom. It's supposed to just crack it a bit, but then he just. Cracked it too much at the bottom.

[@joannegray5138]

Notice they used white shelled eggs in the demo - crafty, that.

[@_Piers_]

They're using white eggs because that's the normal kind of egg in the US.

[@fireriffs]

Pook365, unless you live in New England where brown eggs are the norm.

[@CalliopePony]

White eggs aren't any more common than brown ones in the US. They're both sold in the grocery stores and farm markets.

[@emmabroughton2039]

Woah, woah, woah! Can we just pause a second to comprehend the monstrous concept of "egg trifle"? 0:50 Oh forgot the mandatory "but does it grate cheese?" and the eternally entertaining "put your willy in it" comments. AAAAAND do a week on eggs! I think we all really need to see you choke down "eggs with strawberry jam" and any other questionable recipe suggestions in that booklet.

[@Phoenixspade2030]

at least make the egg trifle, Please.

[@danielgehring7437]

See, the problem with the "put your willy in it" comments is I'm pretty sure this thing started life as a sex toy and got repurposed. We're all too scared that, in this one unique instance, he might actually do it.

Omg so it's actually disabled fruit and vegetables I thought it was just a new range name lol

[@spongebot64]

I'd see the doctor about that

[@HHog]

The detailed instructions do mention you have to put the eggs in ice-water right after boiling them, to let them chill down. I think this is where the magic happens that the egg-stractor's functionality banks on, in that it loosens the "skin membrane" of the egg inside the shell, due to shrinkage from the sudden temperature drop. It's the oldest trick, rinse eggs with cold water before peeling, and the shell comes off much easier.

[@lordfarquad4184]

100K SUBS AND WELL DESERVED!! One of my fave KZbin channels!! Please never change

[@c.w.r.794]

Does it cheese?

[@ManOutofTime913]

You could actually probably try to peel brie with this thing. It wouldn't work, but you could try it.

[@chipbipple2593]

I'm sorry, is it called the "Eggcheester"?

[@chipbipple2593]

[@ToxPhy]

zh84 Considering he did a week on juicing I’m pretty sure that won’t be very hard.

[@AnneIllustrating]

1:10 it’s amazing how this infomercial single-handedly proved that you don’t need to buy the product. All you need to do is crack the top and bottom of the egg and blow on one side for the exact same effect. The egg just pops out of the shell. Well done!

[@seanmatyas3938]

I also love how according to the informerical the only thing complicated or time consuming in creating all of those different egg dishes is the peeling...which is probably the easiest part of creating any of those dishes.

[@nickthom1453]

eggs with jam?! what freak wrote that recipe booklet?!

[@annaolson4828]

I personally like runny egg yolks with a jam or jelly, but I've always liked that savory-sweet combo. I can see it being an acquired taste. I definitely wouldn't do it with hard boiled eggs.

[@ObliteAbyss]

The best bit is the infomercial suggests "Apple egg delight".. What even is that travesty

[@mcescher1957]

Hey, you got FANTASTIC results compared to MOST of the reviews I've seen on this thing. Most people almost give themselves a heart attack just trying to get the egg out! lol

Oh my goodness Mike! I always say thank the Lord for you! From the moment I start the video until the time it ends, I'm just about laughing the whole entire time! What would I do if there was no Mike Jeavons? There wouldn't be as much laughter, not as many smiles, not as many sunny days and not much to look forward to. 😊 "It's going to change the way I eat eggs? What, am I going to shove them up my bum now or something?" . Ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! You're a rare breed indeed, Mike. A rare breed indeed. 😁👼💗👍🌼✌🍀

[@fireriffs]

Okay, A, the egg salad they show on the box isn't egg salad, it's a salad with eggs. B, my parents bought one of these and they suck. Even worse, the egg has to be fully cold to use it and I like my egg still warm from cooking.

[@twilliamspro]

Andrew, Only vegans would be happy to deprive a man who enjoys a steak of his meat. I feel sorry for him. When he starts the worst thing ever I'll go to my local butcher shop and pick up some fresh pork, beef, and chicken, and I will think of him and vegans as well since they are silly enough to skip meat.

[@SpiderMwa]

How hard is it to peel the shell? I do it within seconds without any devices.

[@TheRetroTaco]

Massive congratulations on reaching 100k mike :)

[@Glimmerling]

Congratulations on the subscriber milestone! :D I enjoyed you riffing on the infomercial at the start. A pity this thing didn't quite work. Peeling a couple eggs for breakfast is nothing, but you start wishing for a fun way when you've made a dozen for deviling. XD

[@tendercrispbacon]

Did you ice them after boiling?

[@inubaka07]

This product did not live up to my eggpectations.

[@DivineFalcon]

"Looks like it was pooped out." You don't quite know where eggs come from, do you, Mike? :)

[@AtrumNuntius]

I kind of wanted to see it tried on white eggs too. It kind of works, but not like in the demo where it was a perfect egg dump. Though they could have just used white eggs to make it seem like it was a perfect peel since the shell and the insides are such a similar color.

[@CesarDaSalad]

Fine... a MONTH on eggs it is! (I mean, you got 101 egg recipes now, so it should be a breeze!)

[@pothatuu]

Mike: you didn't leave the eggs in ice water for 10 minutes, like the instructions said...

[@wheelz-2997]

Mike likes to skip steps and then complain when it doesn't work.

[@Jackalblade9]

1. So I realize that many of these gadgets are supposed to help people with disabilities, but given how slidy this thing is and how much pressure is required to make it semi-function, I have to think it might actually cause more disabilities... 2.

[@harrisongrant8558]

One thing that I noticed is that they used white eggs in the infomercial, where you used brown ones. There's no real difference in the taste or structure of a white egg vs. a brown one, but it looks better on TV when you don't see the rest of the shell that didn't get pushed out because it's the same color as the white. So, Unfortunately, I think it was working as intended, it was just a bit of camera trickery that might have given you the impression that it removed the whole shell.

[@JGavin86]

I noticed there was a hole in the bellow facing the camera. Not sure if that would make a difference but I imagine it's not forming a tight enough seal to push the egg out of its shell

[@thomascollins5622]

But will it grate cheese?

actually I'm surprised you dont have the hole on the bottom that seems the only way to have it flower open

[@ColonelEviscerator]

Was there supposed to be a hole in the springy bit?

[@KarIgnishaYumi]

what i do is i get a towl and roll the egg wrap in it and the shell come off....and easy to clean. but i dont mind peeling to see if i can get a larg shell chunk off

[@DemonStink]

Are they using a different type of egg in the commercial? It's white in colour to the brown colour Mikes using. Maybe there's a slight difference in egg shell thickness? I've never seen white egg shells in the UK, only what Mike was using.

[@DemonStink]

Found out they're identical pretty much. Though egg shell thickness is thinner for older chickens.

[@SketchAndEtch]

"You have to eat all the eggs" "...why are you doing this...?" Now we know how that one guy prepared all those eggs

[@DogsBAwesome]

did you do the 10 mins in iced water which stops the shell sticking to the eggs?

[@kizoh2108]

did you try this once off camera not cracking the bottom at all, just tapping it a few times without cracks to see the outcome....?

[@fanime1]

Congrats on 100k! For me, this looks easier than when I peel hard boiled eggs, but I'm sure I just suck at it. I've seen people peel them with no problem, and I'm like, "What am I doing wrong?....." O-O Still, this isn't perfect nor ideal. I'll definitely check those life hacks you mentioned.

Hey Mike they say about the air pocket on the advert. So arent you supposed to put the fat end up? My eggs mostly got air pockets over there. So maybe You could try to make a hole in the fat end and break the tip?

[@patrickdix772]

Since the age of the egg affects how easy it is to peal, I wonder if the infomercial just used the right age (can't remember if old or new eggs are easier).

[@eastcoasteric]

Sometimes I wonder why they put overly detailed instructions on simply devices...then I remember that there are people like Mike out there. Bhahaha :) Love you man!

[@uuu12343]

Removing the bottom shell is alot of faf and work?

[@Pentti_Hilkuri]

I think the "air cell" is in the wide end of the egg, the instructions have it the wrong way around. Maybe pierce the wide end and crack the pointy end and put the wide end upwards?

[@quizzicalsphinx]

This is actually how I peel eggs. You make a tiny hole in top, a slightly bigger hole in the bottom, blow into the top hole, and the egg pops out. I suspect the problem is you might have cracked the bottom a bit too much. But the important thing here is that they're acting as if this is some amazing new scientific principle, rather than a trick I learned from my Nan when I was four.

[@colleenahoutz]

Mike, your eggs always look so delicious in your videos. How long do you boil them? And are they started from room temperature?

I can't be the only one who thinks this would work better if the pump portion was smaller. It seems too large to really do the job properly.

[@Meekerextreme]

You failed at using it...LOL Over cracking the bottom, do like the TV and hit the small end then a tap on the bottom and put it in. Really simple and works every time.

Did you try putting the eggs in the other way round (With the small end down)? That is how it kinda looks like in the advertisement video
