Emoly Silicone Egg Ring (4pcs)

I purchased these to replace a 30 year old set of stainless rings that our daughter was given by a McDs owner at from her first job. Those were lost in a recent move and cannot be replaced. Those were heavy, commercial grade so I won't do a direct comparison to those. When I first tried these, despite the fact no instructions were included with the rings, they simply did not work. Even after pre-heating the rings as suggested in another review , the whites of raw eggs would simply flow under the ring. After several days of trying I finally was able to get an egg to stay within the ring but but without adding a large amount of unwanted vegatable oil to cover the bottom of the pan and essentially float the raw egg within the ring until cooked. I tried non-stick cooking spray but that didn't work. Well I prefer not to have the added calories of cooking oil not to mention wasting so much of it each time just to fry an egg so these went back to Amazon. Next I tried several of the stainless steel cooking rings sold here on Amazon. Even though those were stainless they were way to lightweight to contain a raw egg. I guess I was spoiled having owned a set of the commercial stainless rings from McDs. After trying several additional versions of the stainless rings offered here on Amazon I finally realized they are all from the same manufactrer and would not work. I finally settled on a pan specially designed to make round eggs. You can fry 4 eggs at the same time and no worries of them leaking becuase the design of the pan has four indentions pressed in the bottom of the frying pan. This solution seems to work for now. These silicone rings would be OK if used to fry something solid like hashbrowns, corn beef hash, grits, or even pancakes since the batter is thick enough not to flow under the ring. However unless you are willing to use large amounts of oil, for raw eggs this product is a fail! The seller should remove eggs from the product title!
