Egg Holders?

We put them in the Evakool in the back of the Patrol.

I also Noam only use the original carton, if the eggs move I put a piece of folded kitchen paper over them before I shut the lid.
I found that on the plastic dedicated egg carriers the “soft” prongs in the bottom actually pierce the egg shells when the lid is closed.

We use the carton they come in at the supermarket. Make sure they can't move, both the eggs and the carton. Never had a any break but had some 'scramble' in the shells.

There always too small for our big daddy eggs

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Looks like the old cardboard box is the favourite solution.

The cardboard carton in the fridge works, but you have to keep it off the bottom and hope it doesn't get damp. You can get eggs in plastic cartons from the supermarket those do a bit better when damp, but don't seem to adsorb the shocks quite as well. A rubber band or two around them stops they trying to escape if they move around.

I was lent one of those yellow egg carriers, but the home grown eggs didn't fit. My daughter tried to make them fit... with a less than optimal outcome.

You can also freeze them - apparently - never tried.

Now that's a great idea.

It's not Friday Allan.

Nah, in truth we carry them in the original cartons. Never broken one yet and believe me, the Troopy suspension and the tracks we travel, are not gentle.
But we do ensure that the carton is restrained from bouncing by placing soft and light stuff on top. Applies to other stuff as well like dry biscuits and Weetbix.

The Troopies advantage (as standard) is that at least they have a softer suspension than the 'Cruiser traytops.

We save the thin (about 3mm thick) polystyrene foam sheet packing material that comes in many electronic components boxes.

This product is good for wrapping many delicate items to save them from damage.

Eggs are best transported in the compartmentalised plastic organisers or parts boxes you can get from hardware chains, Officeworks, bait and tackle shops, craft stores, Howards storage world, industrial suppliers, and toolstores.

You find one with compartments capable of holding an egg, with room to spare, and place some of the thin polystyrene foam sheet in the bottom of each compartment.

Place the egg on top of a small piece of polystyrene foam sheet, put some more polystyrene foam sheet on top of the egg, then close the lid shut, making sure the eggs can't move - and voila! - foolproof egg transport.

Alternatively, you can wrap the egg in one piece of polystyrene foam sheet, and insert it into the compartment.

I use one of these compartmentalised boxes to carry all my delicate electronic fiddly items when travelling - items such as broadband modems, small cables and connectors, power adaptors, chargers, spare small batteries, and even the laptop mouse!

Well Ron, my Troopie's suspension is far from "standard" or "softer".

And Ye-Gods, all that trouble for an eggy breakfast??? You are keen.

Allan, it's better than the alternative of just throwing things into the wagon, camper, or 'van, and hoping for the best!

A couple of stories come to mind about packing stores.
One is, my brothers boss was an earthmoving contractor in the 40's, 50's and 60's - and the brother started working for him about 1957, I think it was.

It was the days of early Holden utes (FE's to EK's) and job accommodation being a canvas sheet hung from the 'dozer blade - and food supplies being cans of whatever took ones fancy and was easy and quick to cook and eat.

Now, his boss appeared with the ute containing an open box of "tinned dog", tinned fruits, jams, and all other sorts of tinned goodies, in the back of the ute.

Then, unfortunately, as it turned out, it rained overnight! This was in the days of paper labels on the cans - and of course, the paper labels all fell off the cans!

The brother reckoned it was a real "lucky dip" trying to get some dinner - heating up a can, expecting it to be "Tom Piper steak and onions" - and then opening it, only to find it was a tin of jam!!

The second episode involved the SIL's young brother and some mates who rushed away on a camping trip to the Bremer Bay area with their 4WD's in the mid-'90's - and they just took along a 6x4 trailer, and threw everything in it. That was their "storage system".

Unfortunately, they didn't realise that unrestrained "slabs" of beer don't travel too well in trailers, over many kms of bush tracks.
They got to the coast, pulled up and made camp - then discovered to their unending sorrow, that every single can in every "slab" of beer, was completely empty! - after the constant movement in the trailer, having worn holes in the base of every can!!

Cheers, Ron.

I should have known better! lol

Did'nt pick you for a masochist Allan.
