I like that press and seal idea, I think I'll give that a try with some of my tubs this year. One other thing that I do though is to put a paper towel over the top of the eggs to catch any drips that come off the top of the container.
hows the towel thing working out? i thought of maybe doing that but was wondering that if too many water droplets dripped on the towel and absorbed through to the side touching the eggs, wouldnt the eggs absorb that water as well?
