Egg Cuber- 10.05.06

eggcubermain.jpg
I didn’t know i could crave a cube hardboiled egg… until now. Andrew Huff has a great flickr set of the egg cuber in action ~ apparently this is some retro device that i’ve missed out on? You take your hardboiled egg while warm, stick it in here, screw the cap down, and *poof* square egg? Lots of various pictures and video below…

Ok, maybe after this pic that RUGenius found, not craving it so much…

RUGenius also found this google video of it in action… it is hilarious… watch it at least half way through? (silly how upset people are getting with me for saying watch it all the way through, maybe it was just funnier to me around 5am?)

Notes

This would make a fantastic Christmas present!

Try as I might, I cannot find anywhere in the US that will ship this to the UK, nor a supplier in the UK, any suggestions? ;-o)

I actually have one of these, but only because my Grandfather was the patent attorney that filed the patent for it many years ago. Mine is the only one I had ever seen, until now. Quite a coincidence seeing it here!

Dude, my mom totally gave me an egg cuber for easter last year. It made the eggs look like alien nuggets.

I am amused by the swearing chicken on the box.

----- Eric 11.10.06 09:25

I got one of these at a garage sale last year, leave the egg in the cuber in the fridge for a while, then make deviled eggs, but cubed, so now they stand up

How was this “hilarious”?

----- Rob 12.10.06 14:08

Alan,

You could move to the US.

----- John 16.10.06 17:50

Boys,

Put the egg cuber with the egg in it into the fridge and let it get cold…the egg will be perfectly square!

Been amazing people for years with this little gadget…have fun!

“it is hilarious… watch it all the way through.”
Interesting video, but it is not hilarious and does not go anywhere that the still pictures don’t. The second egg works exactly like the first!

NOT FUNNY. Very stupid video. The Girl is obviously a neighbor or a sister of one of the gay guys. They’ve been looking for something to make a funny blog about for over two years now and had to settle for this. It’s not a bit funny. Take it off the net. Your plugging the net up with crap. Get a life.

----- bill 19.10.06 13:27

very very oldiest think like at my child in 1970’s…

This is probably the best video we have seen online since the inception of the internet. Before I was always feeling like there was something missing in my life. Now I bought myself an eggcuber and use it daily. Our favourite new pasttime is to smear each other with cubed eggyolks and lick it off like cats.

----- MikeyMike and the Snackmaster 23.10.06 02:16

I want my four minutes and 23 seconds BACK! I can’t believe I actually sat through that entire stupid video!

If I EVER get one of those BS contraptions for Christmas…I’ll step on it and break it in front of whoever gave it to me just because it’s such an IDIOTIC idea!

I mean, why would anyone need something like that?

----- pauly walnuts esquire 25.10.06 15:17

If these guys would shut the hell up, this might be the next film playing at MOMA or MOCA. As it stands, just assholes wishing they could relax.

----- Brian 27.10.06 12:01

Holy S**t, this is the coolest kitchen gadget to ever exist. Those of you who are saying it’s dumb are simply retarded. How is it that you do not appreciate the genius that is this invention? Egg^2 rocks your miserable lives!

----- Pirat3 27.10.06 19:18

That moves me in a way in which I am rarely moved. Did I sound convincing?

----- James Newman 27.10.06 23:37

how i can buy this cube ?and how mach it is

----- heleh 02.01.07 11:20

Re the egg cuber—when I first moved to California (Bay Area) in 1964 (note:that is 42 years ago), one of the initial gadgets I bought was an egg cuber, at Cost Plus store in San FRancisco!!!!! That was their only store then. I still have it, but rarely use it. I am amazed that it is still on the market

----- Len Schaer 04.01.07 13:28

I so want to make deviled eggs with this! lol :D

A girl I dated in collage had this egg cuber. She left it at my place and after we broke up I found it behind some pots and pans. I’ve had it ever since and never saw or knew about another one until now… We’re cubing eggs right now at work, People are speachless…

----- Jay 23.02.07 08:12

can they ship it to israel? cause i haven’t found a supplier that is willing to ship it to israel.

10x

----- chryslergirl 13.03.07 02:41

Len, my mother bought one at that Cost Plus when I was a kid. I had those square eggs in my lunch at school. Guess whether or not it freaked out the other kids and engendered much teasing. Thanks Mom.

----- Ethan 11.04.07 07:16

hi nice site.

----- alex 13.04.07 00:15

Wow…..Who the hell would want to cube an egg? I sure as hell wouldnt…not funny

----- Dill 25.04.07 14:54

Really did not need to see all the stuff at the start, getting the egg out, cooking the egg. Just wanted to see it in action. Neither did I need to hear all the inane comments.
