Oooooh I've always wanted one wicker in the shape of a hen

But tiny kitchen and no room on work surface. On next house maybe

(Happy sigh)

Mine are in the fridge, but I forget they are there and I now have three boxes Blush I was hoping I'd remember not to buy any more if I could see them.

Why shouldn't you put eggs in the fridge? Confused

Most of the year I keep mine in a bowl on the worksurface next to the hob. However at the moment, as it's been so hot, they're in the fridge but I usually prefer to cook with them from room temperature.

oops meant to add no I don't think getting an egg basket is sad at all! :)

Smile I may improvise (p&P was just as much as the basket and I'm penny pinching Blush)

Surely you wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket? [shocked]

Grin True. Looks a little better than an egg box though.

You can add the new ones at the top, and take the ones you need from the bottom.

I'd get one for my kitchen but I know ds will play with it and I'll end up cleaning eggs off the floor (he's 15)

On a shelf in a little basket. I use lots of eggs and prefer to use them from room temperature. Better for baking.

In the fridge (if it's not too cluttered with other crap).
