3-in-1 Electric Hard Boiled Egg Cooker | Soft, Medium Or Hard Boiled Eggs | Egg Poacher | Omelet Maker |Vegetable Steamer | Holds 14 Eggs | Black | 25508G

I have been steaming eggs for 30 years. I was raised and taught that we boil eggs by putting them in cold water, then bringing the water to a boil. Later, someone told me that steaming eggs would do 2 things. 1. Stop the yolks from becoming discolored. 2. Makes the shell easier to peel when they are cold. So I started steaming my "hard-boiled eggs" and have been doing so for almost 30 years. Last week, this little gadget popped up on my Amazon page for $20. I know the Hamilton Beach brand and have a few of their items in my kitchen. BUT...I was still skeptical about this machine. I know how to steam eggs; its not a difficult process - but there's no way this little (I was shocked at how small it is) machine was going to hard boil 14 eggs. This little steamer is essentially just a concave hot plate that holds a small amount of water. I followed the directions for steaming the eggs. According to the directions that are included, it should take about 18 minutes to hard boil 7 eggs. Because I was steaming double that, I added an extra 2 minutes to the countdown. The way the machine works is simple - Add water to the hot plate, it boils the water off into steam. When the water is all gone, the plate gets too hot tripping the shutoff alert. There is a little measuring cup that is marked for how much water you will need to cook your desired style of eggs (Poached, Omelette, Hard, Medium, or Soft-boiled) Unfortunately, I think they screwed up the measurements because if you want them hard-boiled like I do, you should want more water in the pan, not less. This little measuring cup is my only legitimate gripe about the machine. I'm very happy I was wrong. I love the fact that I can now steam a dozen eggs on my countertop and not have to use the stove when it's already 90f deg in the house. I will post updates as I test the poached and, omelette settings. In conclusion: For hard-boiled eggs, normally I steam 6-8 eggs for 12 minutes in a steamer basket on the stove. This little gadget steamed 14 eggs for 20 min before I turned off the hotplate and put the steamed eggs into ice-cold water to shock them and stop the cooking. I just ate 2 of the eggs and they look fantastic. They peeled relatively easy, and the yolks were NOT discolored at all. Both yolks were cooked all the through, and I'm glad I've now added this to my kitchen.

I have used this item for 2 times and found it very bad and useless and noticed that its electricity is 120 V which is not consistent with saudi market. This is shouldn’t be delivered to saudi

No more butchering of hard boiled eggs,with this space saver Farm wife gadgetry. Hard boiled eggs become Dreamy smooth No matter how Fresh! The blue egg in the photos, was laid 4 days ago. Even my 1 day old eggs peel beautiful easy. No chunks or pitting of the egg whites. I highly recommend getting yourself one. I've been using ours every few days since I bought it a few months back. Durable. Fast. Nice appearance. Easy to wash and super handy for anyone who loves eating eggs yet hates the egg peel roulette. It's about 20 or so minutes if doing the 14 eggs. Doesn't make noise while steaming. Once it beeps I immediately transfer to a paper plate or counter to cool for 1 hour. Other times I would put in fridge for 30 minutes. Wipe out the metal plate after it cools a little, between every steaming. Easy to hand-wash the lid, egg racks and the stack rim. I keep it on my counter top since it is used every few days. I send my husband off to work with 4 eggs in his lunch everyday. He loves how easy they are to peel too. Those of us with FRESH LAID EGGS know the woes of trying to peel these gems if hard boiled within the first day to weeks of laying. The key is also to let them sit for 30 to 60 minutes out of the machine and allow the whites to shrink back down after their steaming. Huge difference. No more boiling eggs and pray they don't pit or crack etc. I've been telling everyone this is the best unit and most reliable for hard boiled eggs that peel easy and beautiful. It's affordable. Useful and tou won't regret adding it to your kitchen or work space.

If this isn't the best thing you ever used to do your eggs, you need therapy. I just got today, I have already boiled 3 dozen farm fresh eggs, if you ever had true farm fresh eggs and boiled them, you know it can be a challenge to peel them without tearing the life out of them, this bad boy uses so little water, even I was skeptical, let me tell you, even one batch I was warming up my coffee when the microwave went off, I thought it was this machine and I turned off the machine and pulled the eggs after the fact realizing it wasn't the machine that beeped, but never the less, those eggs were perfect, and peeling them, darn, no tearing up of the eggs, not one, cooked perfectly every single time, no joke. I even dropped one of those suckers, the darn thing still peeled like a dream, and talking about dropping one of the eggs I was washing fell against another causing a huge crack/dent in the egg, so i figured I'm going to put this sucker to the test, we'll end result, that egg STILL boiled perfectly, not any of that egg popped through the shell during the cooking process, as a matter of fact, the egg seemed to have sealed itself during cooking. It's necessary to def wear hand protection when your getting those babies out of there, they are seriously hot, and it's necessary to wash the reservoir after each use, but as I said if you dont like this guy, YOU NEED THEAPY. Most definitely, I like it so well I'm buying it again, maybe twice, giving my husband one to take on the truck with him, seriously though, dont pass by this one. :*)

This egg cooker is one of the BEST purchases that I have ever made. It's beautifully constructed, easy to use, and quick in hard boiling twelve eggs perfectly in a short amount of time. I have tried numerous egg cookers, but this, by far, is the absolute gold standard for functionality and portability. BRAVO!
