Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I promised myself that I wasn't going to buy any more kitchen appliances. I have too many already. However, my boiled eggs have always been overcooked and rubbery, and I just knew that there must be a way to avoid that. When I read the description and reviews on this device, I bought one.
It came today and I immediately gave it a try. I had three Eggland's Best eggs that I wanted to hard boil for dinner. The operation is intuitive. I used the measuring cup mark for water for three hard cooked eggs, pierced the large 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 removed 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 mentioned 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 usually 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, unusual 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 some 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 perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs before. Mine have always been rubbery, with the green-tinted yolks. These were a perfect consistency, with yellow yolks. I am quite pleased with this purchase. I will probably buy more for gifts.
Hard boiled eggs are often a part of my lunch and my breakfast. Now, I don't have to watch them boil and risk overcooking.
