Egg rings (Cary, Bath: Wal-mart, steel, market)

[nc99]

Wondering what are egg rings!!!, they are 3" - 5 " round steel rings to make perfectly round omlets....

Where do they sell these , any idea ? ...I found some on internet, but not impressed!

Thanks.

I've seen them at Bed Bath and Beyond in the gadgets section.

I got mine at Disney World. They're Mickey heads!

I bought some at World Market in Cary.

Pretty sure I've seen these in Wal-Mart (what isn't in Wal-Mart? LOL)

I am curious about what failed to impress you about the ones you found online. Seems like metal rings would be pretty hard to screw up.

some people just use old (washed obviously) tuna cans.

I have non-stick egg rings, but can't recall where I got them.

But this prompts a question that I have always had about them...

When cooking a fried egg, and the little handle is up, what role does the handle play when it's time to flip the egg? It just gets in the way, so I leave it horizontal. I just don't understand the handle. If someone could explain, then I can smack my own head and go...."DUH!!!"

We usually leave the eggs on the first side until they are 90% cooked through and then pull the rings up (by the handle) and flip.

Tuna cans don't work any more! You can't cut the bottoms out of them now
