VOBAGAElectric Egg Cooker, Rapid Egg Boiler with Auto Shut Off for Soft, Medium, Hard Boiled, Poached, Steamed Eggs, Vegetables and Dumplings, Stainless Steel Tray with 7-Egg Capacity (Black)

I wanted to get an Egg cooker which can cook eggs faster especially during the early morning hours when I prepping to go to office.Pros:1) Fast cooking - It takes ~14 mins to get the eggs ready which I pack and take it to my office. Really good option to make your high protein breakfast.2) Easy to use product3) Metal Body - I didn't want a plastic egg cooker from health perspective so this was really a good option.4) Looks sleek and good. It is smaller that the perception the image creates.5) Easy to peel eggsCons:1) No beep or alarm to inform when the eggs are done. I just leave them for 20-25 mins, it automatically shuts off after done and then I pack the eggs while leaving from home for the office. No issues for me.

I make cup noodles whenever I don’t have time for a proper meal, but I like to at least add toppings. Between my electric kettle, my microwave crisper (which I throw a few slices of Canadian bacon in) and this egg cooker, making a quick dinner is a breeze now! This is definitely the most aesthetically pleasing egg cooker I could find; the stainless on black matches all of my other small appliances. As for functionality, I think it works just fine. I read negative reviews mentioning the cooker not remaining off properly and there being no obvious way to tell, which is why I assume there’s an indicator light on them now. The manual does also mention that you should unplug it after each use. What I did for convenience was to just plug it into a little outlet adapter with a switch on the side so I can kill the power to it when it’s not being used. I also don’t understand the trouble with the egg hole punch. You just have to carefully apply pressure in a sort of rotating motion to slowly break through the shell. I found that you actually need to create a larger hole than the punch creates to ensure that your egg doesn’t explode, so I’ll make like three holes right next to each other so that the triangular area between the holes actually caves in to create one larger hole. I also leave the egg in the carton while doing this so that something other than my hand is keeping the egg propped up. I’ve had zero trouble with the cooker using theses methods. I will say that their recommendations for poached eggs are off though; I find that 65ml gets you whites that are cooked enough with yolks still pretty soft and runny enough (this is using grocery store large white eggs).

First, it is actually quite small and attractive. So, ignore the photos.Second, I am a bit of a prima donna about my eggs... so I am used to a couple of steps for achieving perfect eggs. These steps may or may not suit you, and should inform your decision to get this or not.If you want the shells to come off easily - every time - and you want the yolks to be yellow, without any gray - then the best thing to do is have a bowl of water in the fridge (set it in there the night before). AS SOON AS the eggs are done, take a pair of tongs and put the eggs into the chilled water. Put the bowl of chillin' eggs back in the fridge.When you get back from the pool or golf course, take the eggs out of the water and put them into a dry bowl (or back in the carton, or into an egg tray &tc.So far, you might be thinking this is all pretty reasonable. There's just one more catch. THIS UNIT HAS NO BELL TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT IS FINISHED!! This is actually no big deal, because you and I want perfect eggs. And to get perfect eggs, you set a timer. I set my phone timer to 5:45 (five minutes, forty-five seconds). When the alarm goes off - the eggs go to their waiting ice bath.If you don't use a timer, you would have to stare at the 'on' light until it goes out. Not my idea of fun. Alternatively, you just wander back to the unit whenever the mood strikes you... but you will probably be greeted by seriously overdone eggs.The unit is all stainless steel - so cleaning is a breeze. Since water sits right on the hot-plate base, the hot-plate surface gets a bit discolored during cooking. This mostly comes off the same way they clean the grill surface at a hibachi steak house: damp cloth. Since it is stainless, anything that doesn't come right off can be removed with a scratchy pad.I usually cook 7 at a time, but I have cooked as few as 2... all with great success.The manufacturer should put an alarm on this unit... it is a ridiculous oversight since it would cost pennies. Still, I love not having to deal with setting up a steamer on the stove.

I am totally committed to trying to only using products that are healthy, non-toxic, and good for the environment!! This little egg cooker is a triple threat. I first saw one at Fry's grocery store and I bought it cuz I love hard boiled eggs for breakfast. When I got it home I realized it was almost entirely made of plastic...yuk who wants to consume anything that is made with high temperature plastic, not healthy to me. So, I returned it and then went on a hunt for another version of this item. Found it!! It is amazing! My eggs come out perfectly every time no matter how hard or soft I want them, it is fool-proof and fast. You can also make fried eggs and omelets if you so wish. So healthy, nontoxic and the best part is I can make 1 to 6 hardboiled eggs to perfection with only 2oz...that is TWO OUNCES of water!!! Not a whole pot of water that you then just throw down your drain. And if you live in a community like mine your water bills are ridiculously high thanks EPCOR, but I digress… So, you are eating healthy organic eggs cooked (not in plastic) to perfection and saving the environment at the same time all for only $32.00 I would say that is definitely a Win Win WIN. Oh yeah and lower water bill so I guess it’s a win win win WIN Yippee!!
