Rating: - Boils perfectly; poaches perfectly if you use your head
I don't agree with the reviewers who gave this machine low scores for performance. It boils eggs perfectly first time, every time, period. Yes, a very little bit of water leaks out past the lip or from condensation; just wipe it up or put the machine on a couple of paper towels or in the sink before you begin (make sure you don't turn the sink water on).
Poaching is simple, too. Make sure you only poach SMALL eggs; larges and jumbos will spill over and make a small mess. If any of the egg does spill over into the heating element, cooks on it, and turns into a hard brown crust, don't ... Read More
Rating: - Very disappointing
My wife bought one of these about two months ago. We should have returned it, but we had disposed of the box in the interim.
The design is very poor, in my opinion. Water spills out on the counter while it is cooking -- because the plastic lip inside the lid doesn't seal adequately, and condensed steam runs down the inside of the lid and out on the counter. Plus, the design of the plastic lip traps water, so you can never get the lid completely dry.
There is no auto-off feature. When it decides it's finished -- based on the setting for cook-time length -- it beeps at you, ... Read More
Rating: - I loved until it stopped working 6 months later
I loved this product. Made it fast and simple to boil eggs. I know it is simple on the stove, but I sometimes forget to put the timer on and they get over done. The eggs came out perfectly with this egg cooker. We used it a few times a week and we follow the directions. To my suprise, it just stopped working. It worked fine yesterday and today it wouldn't even come on. It will be 6 months of having it on 8/7/2008, so I'm not pleased that it just stopped working. I have the number of the manufacturer and hopefully they will honor the one year warranty.
Rating: - There is a difference between boiled and steamed
I never thought I would be praising the virtues of an egg cooker until I had an egg that had been steamed. Wow, what a difference. Even cooked to the hard state, both the white and yolk are melt in your mouth soft and tender. A completely different texture than you get with boiling. The steamed eggs are also easy to peel and this cooker doesn't require piercing the shell, like others do. Once you've steam eggs, you won't ever want to go back to boiling them.
Rating: - we love this!
We are thoroughly enjoying this egg cooker. We are a big fan of boiled and poached eggs but I tended to cook boiled eggs too long and I didn't like cleaning up the nonstick holders for my egg poacher. With this you can time the eggs perfectly. I did burn myself once dumping the water so I would suggest waiting until it cools if possible but overall, it has been a great purchase.. and it doesn't tale up much space at all if you are worried about yet ANOTHER appliance like I as!
