Review on Nirmon Huller Household Portable Sheller by Keisha Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It was an ugly shell

I really wanted to love it but. It absorbed the protein along with the skin, resulting in either malformed or broken eggs. It came off in strips that had to be repositioned, which was annoying. The two times I removed all of the skin, the egg was ugly and the skin was completely wrapped around the sticks, making peeling difficult. I've tried both regular quail eggs (standard and large) and quail eggs. The quail eggs peeled a little better, but again they didn't come out smooth/whole and pretty. You also *have* to shake the eggs to really crack the skin (I've tried an egg or two with just a crack on the countertop), so a gentler simmer wouldn't be an option. I made 4 minute eggs that were fully cooked. I did 2 minutes with the button eggs and they were a hair's breadth away (nowhere runny, but not completely opaque either) and about half of them couldn't stand shaking the jar. I boiled and cleaned two dozen eggs in total, but ended up doing the work by hand and sending the goods back. If you insist on trying this anyway, I recommend starting with an air pocket where the white is less likely to pull in.

Pros
  • Replace the old one or egg peeler with a new one.
Cons
  • Can hurt
