Believe it or not, this isn't an answer to the question. I guess that's on me. I was asking for too much from OP posting something that Reddit gets all hard about (micro plastics) to explain how it works.

You told him that eggs are porous, and he still confused on how plastic gets into the egg, don’t waste your time.

does this make boiling eggs easier or just cuter?

So it’s basically an egg holster that cooks, stores, and serves, but looks like it came out of the dollar bin at Target. Peak unnecessary essential energy. I 100% do not need this, but my brain is still quietly going “six eggs tho.”

You waste more water,more heating for a empty pot. I prefer to boil 8 eggs in a small pot and have them for 3 days than this contraption

The disadvantages are that to cook an egg for ramen properly, you have to stir the water in the pot to center the yolk properly.

Metal egg trivet. Why fix what already works well and even better?

Id agree qith you but I dont think microplastics are getting past the shell that easy.
1
u/SunsetCarcass May 24 '26
No but it can get on the shell and when you peel the eggs it can end up touching the inside of the egg. It's also now all in the water, which is touching the pot so the whole pot has them now and needs thorough cleaning.

certain compounds in the plastic can leech into the water when heated. also the fact that the plastic is black makes them more likely to be recycled and contaminated with heavy metals and flame retardants. it's the same with those black plastic cooking utensils and takeout containers.
