FAQs

Are these egg cups suitable for cooking eggs in?

No, these egg cups are designed for serving boiled eggs, not for cooking them.

How many colors are included in the set?

The set includes six egg cups, each in a different color: Cerise, Volcanic, Nectar, Bamboo, Azure, and Ultra Violet.

Can I put these egg cups in the oven?

These egg cups are microwave safe for reheating, but they are not designed for oven use.

What is the material of the egg cups?

The egg cups are made from durable, high-quality stoneware with a non-porous glaze.

How do I clean the egg cups if they get stained?

They are dishwasher safe. For stubborn stains, you can use a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a while, then wash as usual.

Are the colors likely to chip or fade?

The stoneware is durable and the glaze is designed for longevity. Avoid abrasive cleaners and rough handling to maintain the colors and finish.

What size egg do these cups fit?

They are designed to fit standard-sized boiled eggs.

Troubleshooting

Egg cup feels sticky or greasy after washing

Ensure you are using enough detergent and that the dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser is full. For hand washing, use a good quality dish soap and rinse thoroughly.

Minor chips or scratches on the glaze

Small chips can occur with rough handling. Avoid dropping or banging the cups. If the chip is minor and does not expose the stoneware material, it may still be usable, but be cautious. For significant damage, consider replacement.

Color seems to be fading

The vibrant colors are part of the glaze and are designed to be durable. Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaners that could wear down the glaze over time. Confirm the item is placed in a dishwasher rack where it won't rub against heavily soiled items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply remove the egg cups from their packaging and they are ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: These egg cups are compatible with standard boiled eggs. They are safe for use in microwaves for reheating and for cleaning in a dishwasher.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: The egg cups are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads that could scratch the glaze.
  2. Stains: If stubborn stains occur, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a short period before washing.
  3. Storage: Store in a dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture buildup.
  4. Temperature Extremes: While microwave safe, avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot cup on a cold, wet surface) which could potentially damage the stoneware.
