I have chickens so we have tons of eggs. I like to keep boiled eggs ready for snacks, salads and sandwiches during the week. This container was perfect for my needs. It has a small numbered dial on the lid so I will know exactly when I prepped the eggs and I always know how fresh they are. This container holds 20 eggs and can protect them from getting crushed. My chickens lay medium to large sized eggs and they fit just fine.
