Norpro Silicone Egg Pancake Ring Round

Well made and quite substantial.Fits flatly on the surface of the pan.The outside diameter is 4 inches and the inside is 3 3/4 inches, and is 3/4 of an inch deep.The metal handle folds down flat for storage, and has a silicone insert so your fingers wont touch hot metal.This is the perfect size for a single egg, pancake, or omelet type recipe. I purchased two sets of 2 rings, for a total of 4.This is exactly what I have been searching for. They are high heat resistant to 500ºF/260ºC, and are FDA approved. There are a couple of recipes, and use instructions on the back of the bubble pack's card.Instructions: "Place on seasoned hot griddle or fry pan, lip side down. Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter or 1 raw egg into ring. Cook until egg or pancake sets.Gently pull ring away from sides, remove and flip to set." One recipe is for "Cheesy Egg Delight", and the other for "Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes".

These egg rings work exactly how they are supposed to.Cooks perfectly round eggs for making homemade egg sandwiches.I haven't tried them with pancakes so I am not sure how they would work for that. Nice weight to them so the egg doesn't leak out underneath.Also, they are a good size.

Alright so here are the pros:

Non-stick! It was very easy to lift the ring right off my food and keep cooking.

The size is nice and large. It's probably a quarter inch too big EXACTLY to fit perfectly on a typical english muffin you would buy at the store. I'm okay with this because I hate biting into a breakfast sandwich and only get a mouthful of bread. The larger size also seems to accommodate their idea of using it for pancakes.

And now the cons:

Most people gave it such a happy review that I thought the negatives just didn't like it for whatever reason. But it does turn out that, consistently, the egg leaks out of the bottom EVERY time. I've used different pans to make sure it wasn't just an uneven pan. I've tried different methods (pouring just a little bit at the bottom to set and seal the cracks up that are leaking so I can pour more on top, etc) but it seems that no matter what I do, it's going to leak to some degree. Which brings me to my next point:

Because they are rubbery, they don't seem to cook the sides of the egg enough so that I can pull the ring off and flip. Just like other reviewers said, this thing could comfortably use 2-3 eggs to actually fill it, so that's what I did. The egg seems to be up so high that either I burn the bottom so the top cooks, or I pull the ring off too early and have the top of the contents spill all over the pan because they never set. So, really, the only solution seems to be using just 1 egg. But it's so incredibly thin when it's done that it doesn't seem appetizing at all.

So really, great for pancakes, not so great for making an egg patty for sandwiches. If I was going to choose one to buy all over again, it wouldn't have been this one. It would have been a smaller, metal one.

I use this to make egg sandwiches every morning. It works very well. Easy to clean. I recommend spraying the pan AND the ring with some cooking spray (Pam or otherwise.) Also, when using egg white egg beaters: pour the first bit in slowly, because it is so runny, it can escape under the ring. If you pour it slower, it allows the egg to cook a little before it can escape. =)
