Love it!!!
Tried out this today, received it last week, and I was happy with the outcomes. It is made of silicone rubber and is MUCH easier to use than metal egg rings (trust me I've tried them, even dipping them in oil before hand) and finished product came out great. Couple of things I would suggest---1) you need a pan slightly bigger than the mold, so probably an 8-inch pan would be best. I don't have one of those (that will be my next purchase) so I used a regular non-stick skiller (12in) and a small non stick skillet (6in). In the 12in the 'shape' came out better, since the mold was able to sit flat, but took longer to cook due to size and by the time the whites were set it was slightly crispy on bottom, and the yolks were almost cooked through.In the 6in pan the 'shape' didn't come out as great since the mold was curved upwards on edges which produced a bit of leakage and not quite defined mouth. However, the eggs cooked better if you like sunny-side up eggs.2) I used extra large eggs (Costco's only size) and I am not sure using 2 large eggs would give you enough whites to fill the whole mold since my whites barely reached the edges.3) It is very important that you preheat your pan, grease the mold AND then preheat the mold itself prior to adding eggs (instructions on package). I don't use 'cooking sprays' so I just used a pastry brush to brush coconut oil on it. This is a little time consuming so I would not suggest making these during a work/school day :)4) when making additional skulls, make sure you wipe and remove any egg pieces that might have remained behind. If not, your next egg will probably stick to these and make it harder to unmold.Hope this review helps :)

Might as well throw your money away than purchase this item.
I have read a few reviews about this item but given the price I figured I’d try it myself, after all, sometimes you just need to experiment with something to know if it’s truly a bad design or operator error.Having tried several methods before writing this, I can conclude that this is a fun product idea absolutely designed in a non functional manner that makes it worthless.Seriously, you would be better advised to take your money and burn it than to buy this product. At least if you did that you might be able to film it and post it to YouTube for some cash.The problem with this design is that it’s a mold to hold eggs and cook them. The idea being that the white section of the egg makes the face while the yolks are held in place by the eye sections. This would possibly work in theory is the mold stayed flush to the pan. It does not. There eye sockets set higher than the face. Your first idea would be to just fill the entire face with the white portion of the egg, let it cool and then add the yokes. This was my initial few tests. This didn’t work. The eggs spill out of the form. That’s ok as long as some stay that’s fine. But adding the holes now makes the cooking off and you end up with eggs that spill into one another making for a outer frame that resembles a robot but nothing more. (A few tries later and this method is just not suitable ).Method two, I then trimming the two tabs on the mouth section to hopefully turn this mold upside down and make it more flush to the pan. This sounded promising. It was not. Similar method and lowered the temp a touch to adjust for timing. Tried a similar method, applying the whites first then the yokes, though I did these rather close together, timing wise. The mold will require two eggs, the content of which will be too thick to cook quickly. Even adjusting for temp. You will still have issues with the mold holding shape enough to keep the eggs in place. Billed through of the contents will result in the same issue of a final messy result. My next attempt was similar but this time trying to add some water outside the mold and steam it. This helped but made the egg taste like garbage. And the process of remolding these was next to impossible resulting in a egg that looks nothing like a robot.I wasted an entire package of eggs trying to find some redeemable quality for this mold. There is none. Again, save your money and buy a toy or something. These products are poorly designed and should be avoided.

I have read many reviews of these and put the best instructions together to come up with what I have ...
I gave three of these molds as a gift to my sister-in-law. She has a 18 month old and she couldn't wait to start making her eggs with it. She was very excited about how cute it is. I know she has tried to do the owl and messed it up, but it does seem to have a learning curve. I have read many reviews of these and put the best instructions together to come up with what I have done.I first heat the pan up with a bit of oil in it on med low heatNext I take a brush and brush oil all over the formI then put it into the pan for a minute and let it heat upI divide the egg whites from the yokes and while holding down firmly on the form I pour in first the whites and then the yokes(Unlike what others have found, normal sized eggs seemed find for filling out the form and I only used 2 eggs)I keep the heat on medium since I do not like tough eggs and season with salt and pepperAfter the whites are cooked a bit I take a teaspoon of water and poor it into the pan and cover it with a small stainless steel domeI check on it after a minute and remove the form if the whites seem solid enough to stay in formContinue cooking covered until cooked to the degree you prefer.The first time I did these I tried to flip them and totally ruined the design. It may be possible to flip them, but it is beyond my ability and keep it looking anything like the design. I bought the owl, bunny and skull for my sister-in-law and the skull for myself. I have put the skull through the dishwasher 2 times and it has held up perfectly so far. I store it in a drawer pretty much flat so it will maintain a better seal on the pan.I bought these 2 weeks before Christmas and they had a delivery date for around January 21st. I got all 4 of them days before Christmas. Super fast shipping for something I have had for weeks now that isn't even suppose to be delivered for about another week.

Cute. I am still getting the hang of using it, but it is pretty straightforward and is easy to make a cute egg breakfast for myself.

Great if you're good with eggs!
My kids loved this for Halloween breakfast. It took a lot of attempts to get it perfect though. Seemed to have wasted quite a few eggs at the beginning. If cooked without eggs breaking or sticking to sides then it works great.
