When I first heard about the Egg Rollie I was caught up in the enthusiasm of the person who was enthusing about it. However, it wasn’t available in the UK.
It was with some excitement that I got a response to my lament on Google+ about not being able to get one, and was pointed to Amazon. A version, a Brunchee, was now available for the UK. Yay!
I ordered it immediately. I also ordered one for the guy who had originally enthused, and one for my loving son who subsequently pretended I hadn’t violated him in such a way, and so to this day refuses to speak of this whole matter.
Excitedly, I pre-purchased large eggs and some spray oil. The long days dragged until the Brunchee arrived. Finally it was here.
The concept is a good one. It is a vertical egg cooker. The device is solidly made, nicely packaged, and looks good. You put a little oil in, crack two large eggs in, and 6 minutes later you have, well, two vertically grilled eggs.
The 6 minutes seemed to take forever. Then, there it was.
To my horror I had made an egg penis.
Yes, the machine produces penises made of egg. Man, this is not how I expected my excitement to be crushed.
The monster seemed hot so I gave it a little blow in order to cool it, as I gently inserted it into my mouth. Well, what can I say. I’m not sure what I was expecting. It was just a cooked egg or two.
Sigh. I thought it would be something wonderful. But, by the time you’ve then gone through the cooling and cleaning process for the machine it’s probably simpler to just boil an egg in a saucepan. Although, of course, it then just looks like an egg, and not a penis.
So, unless you want to make egg penises, don’t get caught up in the excitement for this product!
