My idea was to get some egg bites, but my egg and crab didn’t release from the jar at all so I just tightened the lids and put them in the fridge. Now I have crab to eat all week. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/1X/693fa752bf2191aa2ac643436d86a5502097c214.JPG) I loosely distributed a pound of crab meat to 12 4-ounce oiled jars. Then I poured a mix made from 7 large eggs, 3 tablespoons of flour, a generous tablespoon of oyster flavor sauce over the top. I cooked them for an hour at 165F. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/1X/24ef6faae61499cc662f1a083bdbdbedcb8459ee.JPG) I found that the product was a bit underseasoned so I put some chili sauce on top to eat. Next time, I will mix the crab and eggs together and include some herbs. ---

What do you mean the crab and eggs didn’t release? Sorry, didn’t understand that part! ---

I wanted to get them out of the jar in one piece. They stuck on the sides and bottom ---

@RichardOL Oh I understand now. Idk if you already tried this, but try using a butter knife around the edges to loosen. Then turn the jar upside down to get the egg bites out. ---

I tried to use olive oil to coat the jar because I didn’t have any butter. I will try butter dusted with flour next time as is used in baking. ---

I’ve found a brief blast in the microwave, 15 secs or so, can help release them. But I definitely find an animal fat makes for a better release than an oil. ---
