The order: Four moulds for 2,97 Euro
If the parts are good, the price is really ok. For my silicone set I have paid in the well-stocked German specialty store namely over 3 euros per mold, which amounted to four copies then almost 13 euros. So a case for the thrifty housewife?
The Making Of Fried Egg
The first picture shows and the greased mold in my most even pan with some oil to avoid sticking and to close the visible gap between mold and pan. And no, the pan is completely even, the ramekin tilts and wiggles like a lamb’s tail. And then the egg… We see a full-size, real German chicken egg, size M. And the fried-egg-eating reader already suspects it: the volume could be problematic! And because I’m fair, I haven’t even unpacked the L size that I like to buy from free-range chickens.
I did, just because I’m fair, heat the pan along with the oil to about 80 degrees first so that everything would set when you poured it in. Okay, so much for the theory, because that always works out fine with my own ramekins made of pliable silicone. After all, you have kids and they are into constructed egg dishes. Yes no, runs… Under the mold.
The coagulation was quite fast thanks to the preheating, but first abroad. The inland coagulation takes even longer, because the boat is overflowing.
So, simply taking it out or letting it fall out was not an option. So I had to cut the egg off the edge with a pointed paring knife. When I lifted the mold, the foreseen accident happened. I was then allowed to eat the accidental damage myself. And if you’re wondering what the blood was all about: Try to get the egg off again when you wash it. It sticks to the rough surface like cement. First the rag had the cut, then my fingertip. Well, stupid meat must be off and such dangerous parts in the trash can. We’ll see the blade test in a moment!
First, I’ll show you what a really well-functioning part made of silicone rubber looks like. The size comparison alone shows that China eggs are certainly not the biggest. A case for the garbage and goodbye!
Workmanship and material
Now let’s take a look at why my finger gave way and took a beating. The two outer cut edges of the steel strip, from which the manufacturer had the ramekins cut and bent, were themselves quite razor sharp. It really has the feel of a knife, and I was able to split a potato with it with only light pressure. This is, even if not primarily life-threatening, completely off the mark and should be banned.
The “knife” is made of stainless chrome steel. Around 18 to 20% chrome content is a house number in itself, but at least nothing breaks. But the Chinese certainly didn’t think about sticking either. It’s overrated anyway.
The round handle with the plastic knob feels more safe.
It is nickel-plated iron, even if the layer with the applied alloy is much too thin. At the latest when folding and unfolding several times, the material between the steel strip will wear off and then what happens? Correct: father rust.
Conclusion
You can confidently beat a small egg over it and pull your fingers in better. By the way, this is just as unsuitable for large eggs as for small ones. Failed and unfortunately a case for the garbage can.
