Are they heavy enough so the egg does not seep out underneath?

Yes. If you preheat the pan and ring the egg starts to cook immediately, sealing the remaining liquid in

I've never had any leakage problems. I think if you'd put the ring on the pan as the pan is preheating, the hot ring will prevent leakage.

they are not very heavy at all but i have had very little problem with them leaking (and i do mean very little. only on a couple of occasions and leaking was very minimal) i have always preheated my egg pan for about 5 or more minutes before i crack the eggs into it whether i use the rings or not because i hate waiting for eggs to start cooking in a cold pan. i really like them and glad i bought those. i think preheating the pan helps with them not leaking because they start cooking right away and doesn't really give them a chance to leak. be careful removing the rings though because they get very hot. just grease the inside of the rings with cooking spray. they might stick just a little but nothing major.

I didn't have much leaking. My issue was getting the egg cooked thru without burning the bottom, but I think a lid on the pan for a couple of mins. would fix that.

They will work ok if you have a very flat bottomed frying pan, but if it has a slight rounded bottom or a rise in the middle, the eggs will run out from under them. We bought both the medal and the silicon ones and they both do the same thing. I'm going to go to a restaurant supply house and buy some really good ones.

I returned them, they are super light and yes, the eggs seaped out from the ring

Yes they do have a hole in them. And not hinged at all. I'm a "lucky" owner of 100ct red eggs now. No assorted hinged eggs in 5 different colors as described!

I'm only aware of one size Easter eggs, so I'm assuming you are talking about those. I don't think they would fit inside the eggs. However, they are really cute, and perfect for bath time for an older kid (they are harder and sink to the bottom of the tub). They would be a cute addition to any Easter basket.

There is not a hole in the bottom.Only at the top so you can put eggs inside.

They are only as thin as your batter.....if you add too much flour to the batter, they will be thick (which some people like)..... whip the eggs good before adding the sugar helps-----gives it some fluffiness!

They are stainless steel, which is why I bought the Norpro in the 1st place. No chemicals being leached into the eggs. I've found that coating the inside of the egg cup with butter, ghee, or olive oil prevents most sticking. Use of a soup spoon or a thin rubber spatula will dislodge the cooked egg very easily and in one piece!

I always buy large, and they fit in there with jiggle room. The wells where the eggs sit are fairly deep, so I'd think they could fit in there "upside down"

don 't believe so...they aren't very heavy. They have worked very well for us while we were camping. We kept having some type of critter trying to get in our cooler and taking off with a bunch of other food! We set a "trap"..a plate of food down the bank, then we sat there with our Infrared Eyeclops waiting & watching. Low and behold-it was a big raccoon! We could see him (or her!) plain as day---that was at the beginning of summer, we still talk about it today--We always bring them with us now where ever we go.

Yes they are. However they are light weight and very shallow. I don't recommend if you are a serious cook. They are fine for bacon, eggs, and the such. Good Luck!

Better for crab cakes than eggs. They are nice but not heavy enough to stop egg whites from running out the bottom.

These are really heavy and I've had no problems with them sliding around. I keep them in all the time, so even if I'm not using a peel I'm always taking cookie sheets and roasting pans on and off and they stay put.

no, they don't have weights in them but they are substantial enough that it doesn't blow inward.

Probably not, if it did they would rise way above the cover while cooking, and might be undone in the middle. If I use 2 eggs, I use medium or large, but if my eggs are extra large, I only cook one at a time. I hope this helps. I am very happy with the item, it makes cooking an egg fast in the morning and I just wipe it clean with a damp paper towel after use, no messy pan to wash!

yes . a soon as you inserting small eggs into the carrier then dont worry, the eggs 100% protecting from all moving and bouncing.

yes. they are designed for brownies and (smaller) cupcakes but an egg should be no problem. I have to tell you though. I purchased these as a Christmas gift so I only looked at them and held them in my hands but I didn't get a chance to use them. Still they should fit an egg no problem.

not sure, but the actual eggs worked great for my daughter. we used it as stocking filler and had it in water as soon as it came out of the stocking. A good buy

I have used the egg cups for both extra large and jumbo eggs and they were fine for both. The jumbo were a bit tight, but fit.
