egg rings

Somewhere along the way, I have developed an obsession with silicone kitchen gadgets and gizmos. The material seemingly lasts forever, is a cinch to clean and work with, and is almost always fun and colorful (two of my favorite life ingredients).  The Silicone Heart, Star, and Round Egg (or Pancake) Rings pictured here aren’t anything but awesome.

I love them!

In the picture above and below, I used the heart-shaped ring to make Sweet Potato Pancakes (click the link for the recipe). They turned out beautifully – the pancakes at no point tried to stick. I’ve used these rings with traditional pancakes and, again, they didn’t even think about sticking to the ring.

I’ve also used the rings for eggs (as any self-confessed egg fanatic would do) and they couldn’t work any better than they do. NO sticking whatsoever. I’ve used metal egg rings in the past that did stick – even when buttered – but these silicone rings don’t even come close to sticking.

I love the looks of a perfectly round fried egg. I don’t know, it just does something for me.  You can see pictures of the perfectly round fried eggs in my Krusteaz Gluten-Free Mixes review.  A few of these well-rounded guys are keeping company with a gluten-free waffle.

I’ve had a lot of fun with the heart-shaped and star-shaped rings as well. The heart-shaped one will (of course) serve me well on Valentitne’s Day and the star one will come in particularly handy on the Fourth of July.

Who are we kidding, though, I use them the rest of the year, as well. They’re just too fun not to!
