I promised myself that I wasn’t going to buy any more kitchen appliances. I have too a lot of already. However, my boiled eggs have always been overcooked and rubbery, and I just knew that there must be a way to keep out of the way of that. When I read the description and reviews on this device, I purchased one.
It came today and I without delay gave it a try. I had three Eggland’s Best eggs that I wanted to hard boil for dinner. The operation is intuitive. I applied the measuring cup mark for water for three hard cooked eggs, pierced the big end of the eggs and placed them in the holder (pierced end up), put the domed lid on and flipped the switch to ON. About 17 minutes later, the soft beeping sound notified me of the completion of the cooking. I got rid of the lid, using the handles, and placed the eggs in a bowl of icewater using tongs.
There was no problem of live steam hitting my hands, as cited in another review here. In fact, at the point when the completion alarm rings, there is no steam at all because the water is cooked away before the alarm sounds. At that point, all of the steam has escaped through the vent.
Although I will commonly only cook 2 or 3 eggs at a time, having a capacity to cook 7 of them will be handy when it comes time to make egg salad or tuna salad.
There is a slight, strange smell that comes from the unit when the eggs are done. I have no recollection of ever smelling it before. It isn’t unpleasant, but it is unidentifiable to me. I suspect that it comes from numerous egg/water residue left behind when the water evaporates. I have to wipe the heating surface with a wet towel after I remove the eggs because an easy-to-remove residue appears. I suspect that the residue might become hard-to-remove if I don’t wipe it away quickly.
I have never had more utterly cooked hard-boiled eggs before. Mine have always been rubbery, with the green-tinted yolks. These were a perfective consistency, with yellow yolks. I am rather pleased with this purchase. I will in all likelihood buy more for gifts.
Hard boiled eggs are ofttimes a share of my lunch and my breakfast. Now, I don’t have to watch them boil and danger overcooking.

Easiest Eggs Ever!
By Mrs. Romano
Hard-boiled eggs couldn’t be requiring little effort in this egg cooker. You can’t miss with this machine. Just use the measuring cup that comes with it to add water, the amount of water for the number of eggs you are making is conveniently printed on the measuring cup, pierce the huge end of the egg, place it in the egg tray, pierced end up, put the cover on and turn the switch. That’s it! You will listen a tone when they are done so you can’t over cook them or make a mistake. I don’t grasp reviewers that complain regarding gadgets that beep etc when what you are cooking is done. The sound the appliance makes enables you to multi task, clean, cook something else, fold laundry, whatsoever you want to do. Anyway, after you listen the tone, just remove the cover and lift the egg tray out, run them under cold water and you are done! Perfect eggs! And, both the cover and the tray has handles that stay nice and cool so it is safe and easy to remove them.

Wow. What a neat device.
By A
This thing cooks hard boiled eggs utterly each time to the precise doneness you want. It’s true that you have to be careful removing the lid after cooking, but it’s easy sufficient to use mits or a kitchen towel to get around the danger. The poached eggs do come out in a triangular shape, but that actually doesn’t matter if you’re eating them on toast or in a bowl. And no matter of their shape they still come out perfectly cooked. A outstanding timesaver!
