Eggies ($9.88 for set of six) allow you to cook hard-boiled eggs without the shell so you'll "never peel a hard-boiled egg again."

What they don't say on TV: The cooked egg is flat on top, making it ridiculously misshapen for deviled eggs. Four pieces of plastic for each Eggie is way too much to keep track of. And peeling a hard-boiled egg is the very least of my cooking woes.
