Does anyone know about what year BGE changed the handle design from the swinging type to the fixed type like they are now? Thanks. Mark

Mark,
Do you mean the hinge mechanism with the lever?

No, the actual handle itself(for opening the dome). Any word $$$ on the ribs?
Crimsongator thinks around 2000. -
Mark,
Butcher hasn't called back. I'm going over there today and I will let you know. I saw a bunch in a grocery store yesterday but they were over $4.00/lb. I'll let you know later on.

Thanks Steve. I don't think I'll spend $4.00/lb. for them when I can get them here for $1.60/lb. I may just cook hamburgers............haha. I'll be around all day if you want to call.

Mark, my 13 year old egg has the fixed wood handle. I didn't know they made a floppy handle for the egg, eggcept for the mini.

Sounds like a good joke is in there, but I'm not telling it.

Mark, the hinge and the handle changed around the same time.
