"EGG COOKER"
Chef's Choice 810 Gourmet Egg Cooker This egg cooker works beautifully if you have had others in the past. The instructions don't tell you to use less water when you cook more eggs. I don't understand the Physics of this but it does work. I use the required 3/4 cup water when cooking 1 poached egg, 2/3c for 2 eggs, and 1/2c for 3 eggs. If you use the water called for for more than 1 egg you will end up with water all over your counter. I also use 1/2c when hard boiling 7 eggs. These amounts work well & I get great cooked eggs. I also keep a push pin in the kitchen to prick the top of the eggs when boiling them, that way they don't blow up.

"I'm Dumping It!"
Previously I had an Oster & I'm ordering another one today. I'm dumping this one! It can boil eggs, altho, without the piercing pin feature of the Oster, two of them split open while boiling. But it cannot poach eggs--water all over the counter, & one of the eggs ran out of the tray & into the bottom where it cooked hard to the heating element. My husband & I have tried three times now to poach eggs, & we are through.
If only I had save the box, I would return it for credit...I know it's cute, but do not buy this item expecting performance.

"Gourmet Egg Cooker"
Very nice looking item that I keep on my kitchen counter. Other than water leaking out of it as the steam is created, this item cooks perfect soft boiled eggs for my pets, on a daily basis. I would advise you to keep a small towel or paper towels under it to absorb the moisture.

"Works great!"
I got this egg cooker about a week and a half ago and have used it several times with great success. The poached eggs were great and my husband loved the Eggs Benedict I made for him -- it was really easy and I even forgot to spray the insert with Pam first (and the eggs came out ok).

My son loves the soft-boiled eggs,as do I. They are so easy to make, we have had them a lot. Because they're so hot when they're done, I flip the lid over, put it in the sink with cold/ice water, and with an oven mitt or tongs, put the eggs in the lid. The water drains slowly through the steamhole when the lid is flipped, and this cools the eggs down enough to handle but they're still nice & warm inside.

I tried making hard-boiled eggs last night, and just put them in the refrigerator when they were done so I could make egg salad this morning. While my husband hasn't had it yet, everything looked fine although the yolks were slightly greenish on the outside, which is why I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5. I have a method of cooking eggs without the green, but it is rather involved and it's so much easier just to throw the eggs in the machine.

Overall, I'm thrilled with this product & am buying one for my folks. I think our neighbor is getting one now, too - it's a great little machine!

"Worked for one week"
It worked for one week and then part of the heating element went out. This

caused the egg on that side to spill over into the water. (this was a

poached egg) Even though this is a nonstick surface, i couldn't get the

egg to come off. I tossed the unit. I had a Cuisinart for seven years

before it quit. Will buy another Cuisinart.
