Kitchen & Housewares : Back to Basics TEM500 Egg-and-Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher

Rating: - Breakfast Heaven
My Husband bought this for me before he had to leave on a trip and let me tell you it helped a lot! There was an actual breakfast now in the mornings other than cheerios. I love this thing, it's great and we use it just about everyday.

I bought this item 11 months ago & I've only used it ~10 times. I tried to use the toaster this morning, & it is DEAD. Be warned - this is a poor quality product.

Rating: - Works Perfectly
I've been using this product for about two years and have been very happy with the results. I use it almost exclusively to make an egg/english muffin sandwich for breakfast although I have on occasion boiled eggs and made standard toast. Both worked well.

It is possible to adjust the water level (that steams the egg) to create a softer or harder center. I've done this many times.
For me, this product is ideal. Once you put the egg in the tray and the toast in the toaster part, you set it and leave it. When the toast pops up you have breakfast. In my case a muffin sandwich that I eat on the run. They also make the two egg/four toast version in the same product.

Sure I could nit pit this product. The water reservoir does become discolored and the markings are difficult to read on the plastic water cup. But hey, it works great which is most important to me.

The only reason this product didn't receive 5 stars is that the first one I bought stopped cooking the eggs in about a year. Even though I did use it 3-4 times a week a product should last longer than that. My second one is now over a year and still woking .

I do not usually buy or use kitchen items that are not really necessary, but this appealed to me and I liked the reviews that I read. I have not been disappointed. I use it several days a week for one piece of toast and one egg. It is easy to figure out, easy to clean, etc. I am very pleased.

Rating: - Water with Care!
Wow, with over 300 reviews, there's not much more to say under the sun than, "GET IT!!!" I bought this a few years ago, and have not regretted it. I do love the gadgets, so I might be biased. My one recommendation is to write "2-3 tablespoons H20" near the device. More than that added to the toaster and your egg will be gummy. Less water and you will experience upon first bite, SEERING HOT egg yolk on your face. NO lie! The chicken gods must have been conspiring against me. Really, get this appliance; you won't be sorry you did.
