I actually got this as a replacement for the one I had before, after the egg-holder part of it got broken. Interestingly, after ten years it's still the identical product; they didn't see the need to make it fancier, more complicated, or more expensive. Very useful item. That part wasn't sold separately, but it was worth it just to replace the whole thing. I recommend this highly to anyone who likes boiled eggs. Much easier than boiling eggs in a pot. I use it every day and wouldn't want to be without it.
Start with the recommended combinations and make slight adjustments to the amount of water based on doneness preference. We have used this cooker for about two months now and it poaches, soft boils and hard boils eggs perfectly. This beats boiling them on the stove top by an energy saving mile. Once you find your combination, you will wonder how you ever got along without this cooker - and you will be eating a lot more eggs.The buzzer lets you know when they're done, and you can flip the selector over to 'keep warm' with only a very slight additional cooking. The whole timing issue is determined by adding the correct amount of water for what you are trying to do. You pick the range: soft, medium, hard and the number of eggs you want to cook.
My previous egg cooker had lasted over 10 years. I can't see buying another of this design. Instead of having the knob attached to a metal piece, it's rubber and it ripped.
The alarm is pleasant sounding. But it only lasted 8 months and then the knob on front broke off when I tried to turn the cooker on. Until a week ago I would've told you this was a great egg cooker.
On further examination it was a bad design. Disappointing. The eggs are done perfectly.
It's compact.
works everytime, never had a problem with it, so I bought one for my mom.she loves it
It is small so it doesn't take up much room on a kitchen counter either. The plastic parts started breaking and weren't available for replacement so we bought a new one.We like this egg cooker because it is easy to use and makes eggs perfectly. This is the second such egg cooker that we have had. The first one lasted around five years after being used one to two times daily.
