Joie Kitchen Gadgets 50237 Egg Boiler, White

Handy egg cooker for the microwave with no having to set timers and boiling a whole saucepan of water for one egg. If you prefer a harder egg, I would suggest using a medium sized egg as this size cooks perfectly, large eggs, from my own experience, only cook soft as the water is used up before they set harder. You could always refill the water and give it a few extra minutes, however. Looks cute sitting on top of the microwave.

When I bought this little kitchen gadget a few weeks back, I was very apprehensive. Reviews here on Amazon made me worried about its safety. Then tonight, I wanted a boiled egg fast, and thought I'd give h Boiley a try. I filled up the water to the indicated line (not taking into account any displacement of fluid), poked a hole into the base of the egg and placed it upside down (hole facing up) into the boiler. I put my microwave on 3.5 minutes, walked away and despite all my apprehension, no problem occured. No explosion, the egg was intact. The egg, as I am eating it now, is perfectly soft-boiled. What I did notice, however, and this might be one of the problems people are experiencing, is that when you poke a hole into the egg, the shell tends to form a flap that can close on itself. For my second egg, I poked the hole a few times and the flap wasn't raised when I took the egg out. My only explanation for the apparent problem is, that in some cases the shell flaps back up and plugs the air hole, leading to a pressure buildup and explosion of the egg. Anyhow, I hope people can enjoy this wonderful gadget in peace and safety.

Erg kwetsbaar, sluit slecht

Funziona veramente bene per la cottura delle uova alla coque! L'albume si solidifica e il tuorlo rimane liquido/cremoso, perfetto.

Good for work. Make sure you leave it for ten minutes to cool down. As will burn your fingers on removal from microwave.
