Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Egg Cooker for Hard Boiled Eggs, Poacher, Omelet Maker & 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 bought this on a whim because it was cheap and I wanted something that could cook boiled eggs without waiting for the water to boil (traditional stove top way). At this price I wasn't expecting much but I've used Hamilton Beach products before and liked all of them. First of all, it's small. I mean really small and that's a plus because it takes so little space in the kitchen. It looks kind of cool as well (modern if you will). I've only had it for 2 days and I have not tried the poacher but it cooked hard boiled eggs to perfection. I filled the plastic goblet to the #4 level of water for 3 hard boiled eggs and they turned out perfect the first time. Time for cooking 3 eggs was exactly 12 minutes from plugging the unit on until the audible alarm sounded indicating that the cooking was done (it's not really an alarm but more like a small bell sound and it should be louder IMHO). On the stove top, I would have to wait at least 8-9 minutes just for the water to boil and another 10 minutes for the eggs to cook so I figure this little gadget is a good time saver. It's super easy to clean as well. The instructions are clear. On the bottom of the water goblet, there is a plastic cap that can be removed revealing a steel pin. There is absolutely no mention of this or its purpose in the instructions in English or French. One small observation about the unit : It mentions in the instructions to plug it in and then switch it on and off after use. On mine the switch seems to do nothing. If I plug it in, the red light automatically lights up and the unit starts. When the bell rings, the light stays on even if I push the switch to turn the power off. I simply unplug it when the bell rings to indicate that there is no water left in the tray. Is the switch faulty ? I don't know. It works as is and I'm not even sure why a switch is needed.

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.

This thing will change your life. Eggs are so hard for me to make on the stove as I never know when to take them off or I forget they’re even on the stove. This thing is amazing you set it and leave it alone and it about 10-15 mins you have perfect eggs. YUM. Bought this on sale for $22
