Recessed cups stop eggs rolling back

Holds chicken or duck eggs equally

Dense hardwood, no dents from knocks

Solid acacia with recessed cups, so eggs sit still instead of rolling to the back of a shelf every time the fridge door shuts. Plain enough that it disappears in the fridge, good-looking enough that it can come out onto the table with breakfast. It also lets you see at a glance how many you have left.

The recesses are cut to hold chicken or duck eggs equally, which matters if you buy from a farm shop or keep hens and the sizes are not uniform. Acacia has an open, visible grain that varies piece to piece, so no two trays look identical. It is a dense hardwood, which is why it takes the knocks of a fridge shelf without denting the way softer woods do. It is heavy enough to stay put when the door swings rather than sliding to the back.

Two shapes: a 4-grid at 32 by 6.5 by 2 centimetres that fits a narrow shelf or a door, and a 6-grid at 11 by 11 by 2 that suits a counter. Wipe it clean and do not soak it or put it in a dishwasher, and oil it occasionally with food-safe mineral oil if it starts to look dry. Treated properly it is the last egg tray you buy.

Acacia egg tray holding eggs still on a fridge shelf

Eggs Stay Where You Put Them

Recessed cups hold each egg still instead of letting them roll to the back of a shelf every time the fridge door shuts. It is heavy enough to stay put when the door swings rather than sliding away.

Good Enough To Come To The Table

Plain enough that it disappears in the fridge, good looking enough that it comes out with breakfast. It doubles as a small serving board, and you can see at a glance how many eggs are left.

Dense Hardwood Takes The Knocks

Acacia is dense, so it takes the knocks of a fridge shelf without denting the way softer woods do. The open grain varies piece to piece, so no two trays look identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which shape should I choose?

The 4 grid is long and narrow at 32 by 6.5 centimetres, which suits a fridge door or a shallow shelf. The 6 grid is square at 11 by 11 and sits better on a counter. Measure the shelf before choosing.

Will it take duck eggs?

Yes. The recesses are cut to hold chicken or duck eggs equally, which matters if you buy from a farm shop or keep hens and the sizes are not uniform.

Why wood rather than plastic?

Weight and looks. Acacia is heavy enough to stay put when the fridge door swings, dense enough not to dent, and good enough to bring out with breakfast rather than hiding. Plastic manages none of those three.

Will every tray look the same?

No. Acacia has an open, visible grain that varies piece to piece, so no two are identical. That variation is what makes a wooden piece look bought rather than moulded.

How do I look after it?

Wipe it clean rather than soaking it, and keep it out of the dishwasher. If it starts to look dry, a little food safe mineral oil brings the grain back. Treated that way it is the last egg tray you buy.
