Hamilton Beach Egg Cooker 3-in-1 for Hard Boiled & Poached Eggs, Omelets & Vegetable Steamer, Holds 7, Mint (25504)

"I'm giving this only one star because the egg cooker is not usable in the UK without a transformer converter plug. It runs on 110V with a 2-pin US plug, which wasn’t made clear when I purchased it. I attempted to return it, but the return label is for the United States, making the postage nearly as expensive as the cooker itself. Since a transformer plug costs almost as much as a new egg cooker, I decided to cut my losses and buy a different one instead."

Muy práctica, me ha funcionado muy bien, hace los huevos de acuerdo al nivel de agua que le coloques y suena una alarma cuando ya se termina el agua, fácil de limpiar, excelente producto.

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

This egg cooker works well. I followed the instructions for boiled eggs, and the eggs came out perfect. It took about 16 minutes to cook them, then cooling in cool water for about 10 minutes. The beeping sound when they are finished is loud enough but it is short in duration. I had used a pot boiling method for years, but this cooker works way better. The eggs are very easy to peel (I store them in the fridge in-shell and peel them once I am ready to eat), they have a nice texture, and taste better than the pot boiling method for some reason. Highly recommended product.

I was surprised am with this machine and how simple it is to use and how easy it is to peel the hard boiled eggs regardless if hot, cold or have been in the refrigerator for 2 or three days after cooking. Glad I bought us after recommendation from one of my employees.
