Elite Gourmet EGC-508 Rapid Egg Cooker, 7 Easy-To-Peel, Hard, Medium, Soft Boiled Eggs, Poacher, Omelet Maker, Auto Shut-Off, Alarm, 16-Recipe Booklet, Stainless Steel

I've been using this egg cooker for a few weeks now and I'm very impressed. It lets me cook up to seven eggs at once with different doneness levels (soft, medium, hard) by simply adjusting the water level. The included measuring cup and automatic shut-off make it practically foolproof. Many users report consistently well-cooked eggs with easy-to-peel shells. It's compact, easy to clean, and nice to have when you want breakfast prep done quickly. One thing to watch: you'll need to experiment a little with the water level for perfect results, especially if you're using eggs of varying sizes. Overall, great value and a smart kitchen gadget for anyone who eats eggs regularly.

I'm typically prepared to be somewhat disappointed with most things the past several years. However, this is great. The cooking time is determined by how much water you add, with the little provided measuring cup. It sits right on my desk at work, it's small & unassuming and perfect with multiple eggs for breakfast or a single egg for a little snack.

UPDATE: 8 months later and still loving this egg cooker! Perfect HB eggs, easy to clean and store. As mentioned in my previous review, this SS model was not supposed to have the buzzer, but it does and I'm glad. I get distracted and completely forget about the eggs...haha. My method is still to put them in a bowl without water when they're done for 45 minutes or so. I found that after the 45 minutes if I then rinse in cold water enough to handle them, they peel SUPER easy. I only do this if I'm using them all within a day or so. They still peel easy even if refrigerated in the shell. ---------------------------------------- I chose this egg cooker because of the stainless steel lid - I prefer that over plastic. It was smaller than I expected, but that makes it very cute! I also wanted one that didn't have the annoying sound when the eggs are done, which this one isn't supposed to have. But it does! It isn't as loud as the example in the video someone posted, so no heart attacks over here. It holds 7 eggs. I used extra large eggs in my first round, which didn't work great because they were too big and prevented the lid from seating correctly. They came out a bit underdone for hard cooked since steam was escaping from the bottom of the lid. Instead of rinsing them in cold water to stop them from cooking, I let them sit in a bowl for about 30 minutes to continue cooking. This made them perfect. My second and third round I used large eggs and they fit correctly. I still let them sit in a bowl for a bit without a cold water rinse and then put them in the fridge. They generally peel nicely, and for the ones that are a bit more difficult I peel while running under water and that helps a lot. You're supposed to poke a hole in the fat end of the egg before cooking. The pin that is attached to the little water measuring cup works fine, however some eggs have thicker shells so for those I use medium pressure while twisting the pin back and forth to make the hole. I love this little cooker so far! I like hard boiled eggs and egg salad, but cooking eggs the traditional way with a pot of water is kind of a pain. This little thing makes it very easy, and again, it's damned cute!

Generally good item. The bolts that keep the middle layer in place are NOT stainless steel so they get rusty over time.

Aww man what a great invention! I bought this egg cooker after my traditional egg boiler final died on me. I was initially hesitant to buy it because I was used to the boiler, but wow what an upgraded. The egg cooker size is small, just perfect for steaming, poaching, or omeleting (think I made that word up) eggs so it won't take up a lot of space. I appreciate the stainless steel finish as it's easy to clean. The device has one button on it and once you've loaded it with the appropriate water level (see the plastic sizer cup included), put the egg holder you need in, and put the cover on, press that on button. And it cooks the eggs for as long as the water you put in it takes to evaporate cooking the eggs to perfection every time. Just note that when steaming hard shell eggs, the eggs may have some of the protein escape from the egg and drip into water on heat source and burn once the water has all evaporated but it's not a big deal. Just needs a little clean up (I use white vinegar) and the cooker is ready to go again. Also worry not about the eggs tasting burnt. That doesn't occur. If you eat a lot of eggs like I do, you'll love this thing. It's amazing. I highly recommend it!👏

So I do the fast and feast diet and eat eggs on my fast day because protein 'kills' hunger, and I can survive off about 4 eggs and that is well below the 600 calorie limit of my fast days. Hard boiled is by far the easiest and doesn't need any calorie rich oils. I have been cooking them in my electric pressure cooker, which works really well also, but I really only need 4. If you need a lot of hard boiled eggs say for Easter, egg salad, or deviled eggs a pressure cooker is the way to go as you can do over a dozen at a time but if all you need is 7 or less I think this one is the way to go. Also, it is a lot easier to get liquid yokes with this one than it is a pressure cooker. Oh, also I like how most of the parts of this specific egg cooker is metal. Any microplastics would be on the shell anyway but I'd rather have metal or glass. The omelette and poaching trays are still plastic but I'm sure if I got a small glass or metal bowl that would work.

Love this little egg cooker. Where has this been all my life. It is so easy and the eggs are perfect, peel so easy. Take anyway anything in my kitchen but my cute little egg cooker. Very quiet and the alarm when done is just the right sound, easy to hear in another room. I never comment on these things but this every kitchen should have one. I am making a scrambled tomorrow and I am sure it will be perfect. Cooking with steam so healthy.

I don't cook at all really, but needed something to make eggs. First I washed the machine when it arrived, assembled it, plugged it in and added water for 2 hard boiled eggs. I did not use the piecing pin. It took about 11 minutes to the beep. I ran both eggs under cold water for 1 minute and then shelled them. Much to my surprise they were the most perfect hard boiled eggs I've ever eaten. I mean they were astoundingly perfect with bright yellow centers, no running, but not overcooked either.. What's more the machine had zero mess to clean, the stainless tray was still clean, the inside of the stainless cover had moisture on it a quick rinse and they were both ready for the next use. Very Highly recommended.

J'ai été très surpris par le résultat de ce produit. Je l'ai acheté en pensant que c'était juste un gadget de cuisine, maintenant c'est devenu un indispensable de la cuisine. Super facile à utiliser, vous mettez juste un peu d'eau puis le nombre d'oeuf que vous voulez (maximum 7), vous attendez une dizaine de minutes et voilà les oeufs sans prêt sans même s'inquiéter ou rester devant l'appareil. Grâce à cet appareil, je consomme beaucoup plus oeufs que je ne faisais avant. Le seul petit mauvais côté que je trouve à cet appareil, c'est qu'il n'est pas assez facile pour le nettoyage pour une partie de l'item, vu qu'il faut le laver de temps en temps, surtout le socle principale qui n'est pas détachable de l'appareil, vu qu'il est électrique. Sinon, je ne suis pas déçu de mon achat.

So this product brags that it is so easy to make soft or hard-boiled eggs without standing over the stove waiting for the pot to boil. This product does not lie - this is a practical little piece of equipment - sturdy - cleans well - works well BUT....there is no alert noise to tell you when the eggs are done besides the machine switching off. I am glad I purchased this product and do recommend it. Eggs were hard-boiled as expected. If your on a road trip and want to do your own little room service with eggs, French baguette, ham and cheese this would work well. Small and easy to store

Love the look of the Stainless Steel but lid doesn't fit properly and you can't see the eggs which is nice to be able to do, so would not purchase S/S again but love these egg steamers!!!

Anyone who has tried to boil a fresh egg will hear me when I say it’s a challenge to get the shell off nicely . With this nifty little unit I can grab fresh same day egg from my hens and boil them in this little wonder and the shell peels off perfectly ! Don’t you just love it when a purchase exceeds your expectations !?
