Cuisinart CEC-10 Egg Central Egg Cooker, Brushed Stainless Steel

Set it and forget it cooking, easy to peel hard boiled eggs (the shells almost fall off the eggs), eggs cooked perfect inside and out. I rarely write online reviews of any kind but after using the Cuisinart Egg Cooker I felt compelled to give a shout-out. I am old school when it comes to cooking and try to stick with the tried and tested methods I learned from my Mom. Over the years I’ve had ~ an 80% success rate when it comes to making hard boiled eggs (the conventional way) with enough cosmetic appeal take to family functions as deviled eggs. I am really glad I read the majority of the positive AND negative reviews before purchasing my cooker. The main thing I learned that was the most useful is “READ THE DIRECTION FIRST”. I’ll be honest, I had to read through them 3 times before I felt confident that I knew how to proceed. The first thing I did was make 10 hardboiled eggs. Each of them turned out PERFECT. As soon as the timer went off I unplugged the unit (based on a negative comment someone made - saying one of this things will burn your house down). As soon as the eggs cooled down just enough to transfer them to a cold water bath I let them soak until able to pick them up comfortably. I could not believe how easy the shell almost “FELL OUT” the egg. Besides the set it and forget it cooking process and the easy of peeling all the eggs were cooked properly. I’ll admit I did make one bone-head move during that first attempt. I did use the piercing device on the bottom of the provided beaker – BUT – dummy me didn’t take the protective plastic off the needle. The second batch was FLAWLESS. My daughter watched me the two times I used the cooker. When I got up the next morning, she had already used the cooker to make soft boiled eggs for herself and my grandson. Again, easy to use and the results were outstanding. GREAT product!

I've been using Cuisinart products for years, and am pleased with their performance. Cuisinart's "Egg Central" might cost a bit more than the simple egg cookers, but, given the extra functionality and Cuisinart's track record, I thought I'd try it out. My main reason was to make soft-boiled eggs, although I consume a fair amount of hard-boiled eggs, as well. Both of these consistently come out as expected: perfect! (By the way: the hard-boiled eggs come out beautifully, no matter if you're doing one, or ten.) I was curious about the omelet-making function, though: how do you steam an omelet? I was extremely pleasantly surprised when I saw the results. To be sure, Gordon Ramsay would probably call you a donkey, because it's not flipped and fried, etc.; maybe, in a technical sense, it is not a "true" omelet. But what I do find is: whip up 2-3 eggs, add some grated cheese and diced ham, and whatever spices you'd like, hit the button, and in a matter of MINUTES you have a gluten-free, carb-free quiche! As an added attraction, there is absolutely NO mess! I would absolutely recommend Cuisinart's Egg Central. 👍

Love this so much, use it all the time!!! For hard boiled eggs (shell comes off easily without destroying the egg) also use regularly for scrambled eggs. Don’t be afraid to adjust how much water used to achieve what you want! Awesome product, even bought one for my Son’s birthday.

Bought this egg cooker because I thought it would be easier and more consistent that boiling or steaming eggs on the stove. And it is! PROS: Super easy to use - add water, add eggs, put on cover and start. My eggs were pretty easy to peel. Very easy to clean up - rinse parts and wipe base. Haven't yet tried the poached option but expect it to go well too. Also, it looks like a little space ship, which is cute. BTW I put 2 cups water and 2 cups ice in a bowl. Submerge just cooked eggs and leave for 15 min. Dry off and put in fridge. CONS: There are some annoying design elements to this product. The measuring cup for water has lines and titles that don't line up or make much sense. Also, there is a sharp point in the bottom of the measuring cup to prick eggs. This is not recommended by chefs because it introduces bacteria. Also, it's in the bottom of the cup, so the cup does not sit flat on the countertop. Why make this simple product complicated??

This egg cooker is rated as the best in at least 3 outside- of -Amazon reviews of best egg cookers. Mea culpa, the metal needle IS under a protective cover, if you read the manual. Be sure to keep track of the little plastic tube cover! Ours arrived with the metal needle that is supposed to protrude from the water measuring cup, with which you can pierce the egg to prevent it cracking and leaking during cooking, broken, though you could see metal in the plastic tube. Be aware it SHOULD be there. (it IS). We had tried to pierce the egg with just the protruding plastic, unaware it was missing, which does not work very well. A woman would have designed it with the needle inside the cup, which would protect the needle and the users. The measuring cup will not sit flat on the counter even without the needle there, so I imagine with the needle, this questionable design would be worse. When I called Cuisinart, as Amazon directs you to do, to send a replacement piercer, I was upset upon being told I must return it to Amazon, and get a replacement, instead of them just sending us this part. I was afraid we wouldn't get the $13.73 off coupon price for the replacement, and wouldn't have it to use while waiting for a replacement. We have chickens, who produce many eggs, and use the cooker several times a week. Fortunately, Amazon is already processing the order to arrive in three days, without our returning the other one first, so we can wait until the other one arrives to return it! So despite being inconvenienced for a problem that is their fault, the inconvenience is much less than I feared. I was only going to give a one-star rating if we would have had to pay more for the cooker, because it is not worth it. We don't like that poached eggs and omelets have to be cooked in plastic containers, but this seems to be true of all egg cookers which have this feature, until Instant Pot makes one. It would be a stretch to fit 3 eggs in the omelette cooker, as claimed capacity, especially if you add veggies, but perhaps if you use quail eggs you can. ;-) . This fact is noted in the more astute outside reviews, But overall, this is a great cooker, which handles everything well. My partner somewhere got a stainless still dome from an older version of this same cooker, and it is much thicker and heavier metal, so it is good for the environment and for their bottom line that less metal is being used, especially with the tariffs on steel.

I hate boiling eggs in a pot, they never peel right. With this egg cooker they always come out perfect, and peel perfect. It's only been a few weeks and I have cooked probably 3 dozen eggs with no issues.

Durable and faster than a pot and water by far. Far less effort

JUNK ! I've owned 3 of the same reliable egg cookers over the years but decided to "Splurge" and go for something upscale. Bad Idea. My ONLY complaint with the other was that it only poached 3 eggs and this did 4. The dome is the lightest guage of stainless steel imaginable. You could crush it like a soda can and the entire product is overly complicated for no good reason. It says it turns itself OFF automatically but the truth is, you then need to turn it off manually or IT WILL TURN ITSELF BACK ON! Without any water left in it IDK what would happen. Good Luck! Oh, almost forgot, hope you like buying and lugging gallons of distilled water around so you can "Boil an Egg"... Yes, distilled water is recommended because the unit completely evaporates the cooking water. The unit comes with a tiny plastic measuring cup with very fine writing, inked in a non-contrasting color and with very fine increments. Don't ever lose or wash away the markings on the cup or you're out of Luck. The other egg cooker has a little slide setting which simply adjust the cook time and it has clear ranges printed on the unit, for different variations soft or hard, poached, etc. It has a simple line you fill the water to and you're done. The slide setting also allows you to compensate for the SIZE of egg you are using, unlike the Cuisinart. Next is the HORRID, triangular, pie wedge shape your poached eggs will be deformed into. It is the absolute most unappealing, virtually repulsive looking egg you could imagine. Even Fast Food establishments would never dare serve you something that looked like that. Like some weird egg ice cube. This has totally changed my opinion of Cuisinart as a company. Anyone involved in the concept, design or marketing of this kitchen appliance should be ASHAMED & FIRED. I can just imagine a meeting full of corporate lackies sitting around, too afraid to voice any common sense or reprisals as this item was being tabled. People who enjoy eggs and the convenience of egg cookers BUY Something Else.
