The only question I have is how do you stop the eggs from rolling all over the place? Do you use a dremmel to make indentations in the grill or use wedges or something?

There is no dripping on the eggs at the moment - though it may become an issue when I put lids on the eggboxes. It is normally o.k. though.

But then again it normally takes longer for the substrate to become a problem - I must have mixed this batch a tad too wet for it to be happening before the eggs pip I think. :(

If you kinda nestle them onto the grate in the beginning they should settle and not roll. Obviously you have to be more careful when you move the container. I guess you can use tooth picks on each side through the grating into the medium if the eggs are rolling too much for you.

You can use tooth picks, popsicle sticks, or even the sticks from Q-tips. :gj:
