What you did wrong is buy silicon pieces of shit unitaskers that don't even seem to work. You don't even need your eggs to be perfectly circular to begin with.

Why don't you just use one of these?

Figured it out, I'll use a higher temp and Mason jar lids next time

>Why would you want round eggs

To make breakfast sandwiches obviously

Rate my breakfast btw

Lmao those look like the same ones I got at the dollar store years ago. They don't work, and every time you try to use them they perform worse until you just throw them out. 2 of the 4 I bought still had gaps for egg to escape even after weighing the tops down. You can get metal eggs rings for around the same price

McDonalds has ones but I don't know what they look like. Everyone I've tried doesn't work at all.

If the pan gets hot enough for any of these to work, your eggs burn.

I think it's fine you're just setting it down not moving it around.

The bottom of your pain is probably slightly uneven, whether by design or through age/use. Try applying a very thin coat of oil, lard, or shortening to the bottom of the mold, and only place it in the pan when it is at exact temperature.

[Anonymous No.16311449]

Use bread to disperse the eggs to the sides of the round pan. This is how you make round eggs.

[Anonymous No.16311731]

use a spatula to form the egg into a circle as soon as it hits the pan
these things are a fucking ripoff

[Anonymous No.16311767]

It's a heavy square shaped cast iron "pan" with 4 holes in it. you set it up on the plaque and wait for it to reach temp. You dump 4 eggs in and close the grill "top part". wait 3 minutes and boom. egg mc muffin ready to assemble.

mason jar lids are steel coated in zinc. If you were to heat those lids to around 900F the zinc will begin to vaporize and may cause zinc poisoning. If you heat your pan to 900F to cook eggs you deserve metal poisoning.

don't use mason jar lids because they have threads inside and a lip, both of which gives eggs little spaces to stick to.

buy a set of stainless steel pastry rings, oil them and heat them in a pan. in one set you'll get 3-5 rings of good size for eggs. if you want them all the exact same size buy a set of rings for each egg you plan to cool.

or just fucking figure it out.

buttered mason jar lids work fine. the egg pops right out.

Buy da small single egg pan its worth it they're only like 5 bucks and they make da perfect eggs.

Mason lids work 100% you just need to use a little oil on them.

Why dont you just cut a circle in the bread and dump the egg inside there?

A lot of mason jar lids are lined with BPA. I think that's a bigger issue.

[Anonymous No.16314383]

>>16310423
They're fucking shit. Same shit happened to me when I tried using them. Also gotta love that film of egg white crust that forms on the edges and is a bitch to get off

At the very least you can use these to form patties

I use them if I want to make breakfast sandwiches. It’s nice because it prevents the egg from ending up a super thin layer that extends like an inch away from the outer edge of your bread. Just make sure the pan is hot enough to immediately start cooking the yolk and you won’t get spillage like OP

[Anonymous No.16314782]

the issue with frying an egg is that the whites don't cook through before the yolk starts overcooking.
so you have to steam it with a lid or baste the whites with butter

why would you want to make the whites not spread out and cook slower? Doesn't that compound the problem?

[Anonymous No.16314823]

>>16314782
The issue is that you want it one way, but it be the other.

[Anonymous No.16314879]

Just a tip for those running out buying mason jars. The lids are metal and will retain heat. Don’t pick them up bare handed after you’ve cooked your egg

[Anonymous No.16314991]

Microwaves are useful for making scrambled egg. You can't use them to fry an egg though.

[Anonymous No.16316510]

The whole point of English muffin style breakfast sandwiches was that they were made to be eaten with one hand without making a mess and often on the go. Thats why everything is uniform and about the size of the .uffin and the egg is overcook so it doesn't run. If you're at home making a sandwich to chill at breakfast do your eggs properly easy over or sunny up without those stupid rings
