Heh. The word "cosy" came immediately to mind, so I did a search on "egg cosy", and looky at what I found: What Is An Egg Cosy
I guess you use them when you make a softboiled egg, to keep them warm for someone's meal.
Hmmm...we used to eat softboiled eggs all the time when I was a kid, but I haven't had one in ages.
I remember my mother having egg cups! I will have to check and see if she still has those!! Do you mom??
