I just kind of scoop them up gently (and they stick together fairly well really)--this clutch was easy because they were in a nice, neat pile. I had a clutch before that was 10 eggs all spread out but still stuck together--I had to get my husband to help me pick it up because my two hands couldn't get them all! I also had to use a larger tub because they wouldn't fit in something this size (15qt) without being torn apart.
