 Works great July 31, 2010
G. Buscher (Milton, DE)
I have to say I was skeptical on this product actually working, but after a couple of runs to get the timing down, it makes perfect soft boiled eggs every time. 5:45 and I get two large soft boiled eggs. It will take a few runs to get the eggs done exactly how you want, since each microwave has slightly different power.
 Exploding Egg Cooker July 27, 2010
R. Kemp (California)
Add me to the list of those who had this thing explode in the microwave. Mine exploded just after the cooking time was complete & I opened the microwave door. Egg bits all over the kitchen. Dented in the ceiling of the microwave; I'm sure the microwave would have been destroyed had the door not been open.
I read & followed all instructions exactly. It worked fine for about 8 times over a 3-week period. Then this.
Buy this thing at your own risk.
A little advice July 26, 2010
Marils (Los Angeles)
When I got my egg cooker, it came with no instructions. Thanks to you folks commenting at Amazon, I was able to muddle through the first time even with a few apprehensions.
You were right, the water line is difficult to see. What I did was carefully measure to the water line -- then poured the water out into a glass measuring cup. Now I always know how much water I need to add and don't have to keep struggling to read the water line. (Mine was 1.5 cups.)
I found that I did not have to use hot water. Warm tap water is fine. I also found that I could use even jumbo-sized eggs in the cooker, so I was not forced to buy smaller eggs just to accommodate the compact design.
My first experience has turned out great. I put 1 jumbo sized egg in the unit (I only had a few eggs home at the time) and put it into the microwave on HIGH for 10 mins.
Following your instructions, I used pot holders to take it out of the microwave after letting it sit for a couple of minutes to cool down before removing. Then I put the cooker into the kitchen sink and ran cold water over it. After peeling the egg, with anticipation/trepidation, I cut the egg in half, and found it was perfectly cooked.
This cooker makes it so easy cook a few hard boiled eggs as for a salad or sandwiches. I used to dislike making hard boiled eggs in a pot because I hated waiting for the water to simmer, then hoping an egg wouldn't break, as well as keep 1 eye on the clock to keep from overcooking them. (Especially for only 3 or 4 eggs) The worst was cleaning off that eggy scum that would gather inside the pot when an egg cracked. With this cooker, however, there is almost no clean-up.
For those who think the top should fit tight, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Trapped steam will cause an explosion. It needs to fit loosely so the pressure does not build beyond a certain point. (that little hole at the top notwithstanding) Enjoy!
Easy egg cooker July 25, 2010

My daughter eats lots of Tuna with hard boiled eggs. This is so easy and you do not have to drag all the pans out. It did take a few time using the cooker to find out how long to cook the egg. Now she just pops it in the microwave and walks away.
Great product. NOT made in China! July 13, 2010
HK DAVEY (Queens, NY)
Works really well. I followed enclosed instructions. 6 minutes in microwave yielded firm, moist, orange colored yolk, with the shell easy to peel. I don't like the pale yellow, dried up, crumbly egg yolk.
