FAQs

What is the capacity of this egg holder?

The holder is designed to safely store and carry up to 12 eggs.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No, this cast iron egg holder is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing with mild soap and water is recommended to maintain its finish and prevent rust.

How do I prevent rust on my cast iron egg holder?

Ensure the holder is dried thoroughly after washing. You can also lightly season it with cooking oil periodically, similar to cast iron cookware, and store it in a dry environment.

What are the dimensions of the egg holder?

The dimensions are approximately H: 12 cm, W: 20 cm, and D: 20 cm.

What is the weight of the egg holder?

The egg holder weighs approximately 0.90 kg.

Can I use this holder for eggs other than chicken eggs?

The holder is designed for standard chicken eggs. It may not securely fit very small eggs (like quail eggs) or very large eggs (like duck or goose eggs).

Does the brown finish chip or peel?

The authentic brown finish is designed to be durable for cookware. With proper care, it should not chip or peel. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Troubleshooting

Rust spots appear on the surface.

Lightly scrub the rust spots with steel wool or a stiff brush. Wash the area with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and then re-season the affected area with cooking oil.

Eggs do not fit securely in the holder.

This holder is designed for standard chicken eggs. Very small or unusually shaped eggs may not sit as snugly. Ensure eggs are placed gently into the designated slots.

The handle feels loose.

Inspect the attachment points of the handle. If it appears to be a manufacturing issue, contact customer support. For minor wobbles, check if the handle is screwed in properly (if applicable).

Surface protection is not sufficient.

Ensure the legs are clean and making full contact with the surface. If placing on very delicate surfaces, consider using a placemat or trivet underneath as an extra precaution.
