Here are some things that frequently show up at Thrift Shops Goodwill etc.
Those rubber-like baking pans. You're supposed to let them cool in the oven before taking them out. WHAT?(My oven takes 45 minutes to cool)
Ron Popiel Rotisserie. You either have to leave it on the counter (After cleaning that huge thing)or find a big place for it. NO! I'll pay Publix the seven bucks for their roasted chicken I've seen brand new ones in thrift shops.

The TV commercials for these kinds of products always crack me up. They make simple tasks look SO darn difficult, something you can remedy by buying their product. Most of the time I look at these gadgets and think to myself, what's really easier--cleaning one pan or one knife or cleaning all the parts on that gadget? LOL.
BTW, when I boil eggs I always add a splash of vinegar to the water. Makes the eggs easier to peel.

My friend has those..........so not worth the trouble. Plus, I didn't think they were hard enough, but that's probably a matter of taste. But they weren't really pretty, although they were flat on the bottom.
I will never boil eggs again, unless I have to have more than 6 at a time. I buy the Eggland's Best boiled, peeled eggs. Just perfect for making egg salad or deviled eggs and all I do is rinse and slice. I don't have to worry about peeling them or them cracking in the water or if they'll be cold enough to make egg salad. I love them!

Message: Not to bust anyone's bubble but I have 2 sets of these Eggies. One set has never been out of the box. In my opinion, these are more trouble than they are worth. When cracking an egg into the Eggie, the hole doesn't seem big enough and egg runs all over the outside. My husband found a wide mouthed funnel to use when filling them. If you don't clean them off good before boiling them in the water, you have all kinds of egg residue on the outside of each one. You are supposed to use cooking spray on a paper towel and oil each piece before using. Mine did not slide out nearly as easy as they show on the commercial. Each Eggie has 4 pieces and they are a mess to clean. I soaked mine in soapy water and still had to use a (clean) toothbrush to clean each piece. Maybe others on here have had more success with these than I have. I just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
I have ordered many things from TV over the years. I have just about every gadget there is.....I am sort of embarrassed to admit. LOL. Many of the appliances that I've bought are a lot harder to clean than it shows on TV.
