Unbreakable Eggcup

Sorry meant to attach photo

You can get stainless steel or shatterproof egg cups from amazon, amongst the camping equipment.

I have a stainless steel one - if you pm me with your address, I will post it to you.
Check the picture - It may not be suitable, but I am happy to post it to you x

If you enter melamine egg cups you will find a selection of unbreakable egg cups.

I have two stainless steel egg cups. I’ve had them for years, but they’re brilliant. Amazon sell similar ones.

years ago mum had some ideal egg cups. they were sort of triangular shape with rounded corners they had the cup on one side a little round dent for salt and a little sort of dish for the egg top. i am guessing that they were probably from Woolworths plastic but nice soft plastic. we all had a colour one blue one orange one white and a sort of tan colour

I use a medicine measure cup, it seems to be just the right size unless you buy the very large eggs.

We still have plastic egg cup "legs" from my children's era.
Like these (but now without the sticker). They were well loved.

I’ve had the same problem, most traditional egg cups are either too fragile or not very practical.

Silicone egg cups are probably the closest thing to “unbreakable” and tend to work well in practice. They’re flexible, easy to clean, and don’t shatter if dropped, which makes them more suitable if you’re thinking about safety as well.

Wooden ones are sturdier than pottery, but they can stain and wear over time.

I bought a set of silicone egg cups and egg poachers. The beauty of the egg cups is that they don't move on the plate.

Google silicone egg cups, plenty to choose from including these

I’ve had some wooden eggcups for decades, one slightly split because my young adult offspring would put them in the dishwasher despite my endless instructions as to what must be washed by hand. It still holds a boiled egg perfectly well. I think they were from Tesco, but it was a long time ago.

Look for camping egg cups. There will be some nice, cheerful plastic egg cups. hugs

I could never find nice egg cups so I bought IKEA candle holders for 99p and turned them upside down.

Thanks, some great choices. Never thought of Tesco - don’t have one near me.

Love Sophie Allport designs.

It was Sophie Allport I meant Casdon. There are some nice designs.

Try Sophie Allport, this one is in a set, but it’s a good price for what you get. There are other designs too.

Loads of unbreakable melamine egg cups out there. Sophie Allsopp has some nice designs for children and Tesco’s stock one that looks like an egg.

I remember as a child having a plastic one in the shape of a tortoise. It was lemon and the egg cup was its back. Very politically incorrect there was a little black boy figure sat on the neck riding it.

I know exactly what you mean. I am a boiled egg for breakfast person and always have been. The only eggcups Ive found to be best were those wooden ones that we used to buy in a string of 4/5/6. Metal ones are too hot to manage with the newly boiled egg. Pottery ,too easily broken. I too would like info on what to choose next as my current one (80's maybe) is split.
