Egg Ring for Frying Eggs and English Muffin - Round Egg Shaper Mold with Anti-scald Handle - Stainless Steel Non-stick Egg Cooker Ring - 2 Pack

These worked great the first time. (Well, almost the first time!).Here's how to make sure that your results are perfect:FIRST TIMETake the rings and the brush out of the packaging, and wash & rinse them thoroughly, then dry them.EVERY TIME1. Heat your pan, put in the ring(s), and then put your butter or oil into the ring. It will spread out as it melts/gets hot. *Do Not Put the Egg into the Rings Until the Pan, Butter/Oil, and Rings Are Thoroughly Hot.* This is a *critical* part of the process - if the pan and ring are not hot, the egg will not congeal quickly and will instead leak through the bottom of the ring.2. When the butter or oil is melted/hot, take the brush, dab it in the butter/oil, and then dab it thoroughly on the inside of the ring(s). Pay special attention to the inside seam (where the handle is) - this is where the egg is most likely to stick. (This went wrong for me on my very first attempt & the egg stuck a little.)3. (Optional) Pierce the yolk and stir the egg a little so that you get an evenly cooked egg. Or, accept that the yolk will break open when you take your first bite and if you're not careful spill down your shirt. Ask me how I know!4. Wait until the egg looks almost cooked. Take the ring off, let it set a bit, and then flip the egg.5. When the egg is cooked to your liking, take it from the pan and put it on your toasted muffin.AFTER YOU FINISH EATINGPut some very hot water in a bowl or in your sink, put in some dishwashing soap, and then put the ring(s) and brush in the water. Let them soak for a bit. If you buttered/oiled the rings well, there will be very little to clean off the rings. But even if there's some stuck-on egg, it comes off easily.You can use a soft sponge or one of those sponges with the blue or green scrubbing pad, and lightly scrub any bits of egg that might remain. To clean the brush, you can squeeze a bit of dishwashing on it, then lightly squeeze and roll the brush "fingers" around.Rinse everything well under hot water, dry, and put away.Note that the ring is coated with a material that makes it somewhat slick, but it's not true "non-stick". You need to use butter or oil when you cook with it. I suppose cooking spray might work as well.TROUBLESHOOTING* My egg doesn't turn white when I put it in the ring and then seeps under the ring throughout the pan.You must heat the pan and ring thoroughly before you put the egg in.* My egg sticks to the pan and/or ringYou must use a liberal amount of butter or oil, and you must thoroughly dab the butter or oil on the ring when it is hot.* My egg falls apart when I lift the ring out.The egg must be cooked well enough so it doesn't collapse when you remove the ring. This means that a completely runny egg including a runny egg white isn't possible with this device. You can get close to it, but the egg has to set enough to keep its shape when you remove the ring.* I can't get the egg that I just cracked into the ring because the ring/pan/flame is too hot.You can either move the pan to another place on your stove where there's no flame, or break the egg into a cup and then pour the egg from the cup into the ring.* I tried cooking something in the ring that's not an egg (such as ground sausage) and it stuck or came apart when I removed the ring.The ring is designed for an egg. If you try it with anything else, you'll get the best results if your thoroughly, liberally dab butter or oil on the hot ring before you put it into the ring.* The ring overflowed when I put the egg inThis is designed for a chicken egg up to the "extra large" size. It is too small for most duck or goose eggs. It definitely won't work with an ostrich egg - don't even try; you'll have problems you just don't want to deal with.

I bought these so that I could make heart-shaped eggs for my granddaughter when she’s visiting. My first try with these was something of a disaster. The eggs stuck to the molds which destroyed the shape. However, learning from my mistakes, the next time I made sure that I covered the molds thoroughly with non-stick spray. I also got my griddle nice and hot and put the empty molds on the griddle to get hot before adding the eggs. When I added the eggs, I held down on the molds so that the eggs wouldn’t leak out under the mold. This was easy with the handles. That, along with the griddle being hot, kept the eggs from leaking under the mold. When the eggs were done, the molds came loose with a little wiggling, and I had nice heart-shaped eggs.

Great purchase. Very cute

It’s the size of silver dollar pancakes doesn’t make anything much larger, they slightly leak and work in well temperatures

I bought these heart-shaped rings to use for pancakes and they worked like a charm! I made sure to grease them well before pouring the batter each time and I had no issues with sticking or leaking! I didn’t even need to press down when pouring the batter, it stayed contained just resting on the cooking surface. Mind you the gluten free batter we use is quite thick, so that may play a role. These rings even made the pancakes fluff up more compared to just pouring without a ring - like a little cake! A little bit of a learning curve when flipping the pancakes as it started to spread before I could put the ring back on the pancake to hold the shape. However, my children enjoyed picking the excess little crusts off the pancakes and eating them while we were cooking- “problem” solved! The silicone handles were clutch and did get a touch warm from the griddle heat but still tolerable with bare hands. Not sure if these rings are dishwasher safe but we don’t plan to find out. It’s super quick to hand wash them so that’s what we do. Highly recommend these rings if you’re looking for an easy way to make heart pancakes!

These egg rings are only 3 inches in diameter. I expected the rings to be about the same size as an english muffin since that is what the rings are advertised to be what they are normally used for. A total waste of money and not returnable. Also, one of the rings was a very sharp edge on part of the bottom edge of the ring. These will be tossed in the garbage today. I would have given this product a minus zero rating if I could have. I will be looking elsewhere for replacements.

We have had others but these are really nonstick and heavy metal! I would definitely buy again!

Works well, have to oil the ring or the eggs stick
