Hi cookie1, It arrived last Thursday, my first efforts were like a comedy show, I thought I would have a go at the apple cake in the edc, I managed to crack and put the first three eggs through the hole in the top of the lid and dropped the fourth right in! Took me about half an hour to get the shell out! Then I thought I would make the bolognaise sauce and forgot to put the lid on so that bubbled every where lol I'm scared of it now.
