    OMG. Even when working as expected there is a big flaw: When removing an egg inadvertently and placing it back, it will be treated as fresh.

        Well yes ... but that's a bit like complaining that the worst bit of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was getting the blood stains off the seat covers, rather than its pivotal role in starting WWI :laugh:

              But... It's an IoT shiny-shiny! How can you possibly criticise it?! :)

                :doh: :doh: Easy... it has a couple of places more just in case you buy new ones when still having one or two from previous packet. :rolleyes:

                      If you have a family of 4 kids, just making omelettes for the family uses up 12 eggs!

                          You'll have to use COLD water when washing, preferably with an enzyme detergent. If you use hot water or tumble dry without having removed the stain prior, the only way to remove it is using oxalic acid.
