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.

This is kind of sad. The tray is not great. I’ve usually use the rapid cooker from Dash when the eggs are ready. It plays a fun song. I didn’t realize it up until the day that I have now been psychologically programmed to want to listen to that song. This thing makes a noise like your flat lining at a hospital. Which to be honest is fairly accurate, but it does a great job of cooking the eggs so I’m not gonna give it a low rating, but I want to communicate to whoever designed this that that sound is sad. It makes me depressed and I couldn’t enjoy my eggs, but they came out really good.

I’ve been using this egg steamer for around two months now to make hard-boiled eggs, six at a time. (There’s room for a seventh in the middle, but I’m precise and don’t use it.) It works beautifully, just as described. As some have warned, the metal heating pan has already become tarnished, apparently because I’m not going to bother using distilled water. But that discoloration doesn't seem to be a problem; it just means the metal looks somewhat rusty. However, what COULD be a problem is that there doesn’t seem to be room enough to boil six jumbo-sized eggs. I buy extra large eggs, and the hemispheric cover barely fits over them, with a very tiny gap along the bottom that may possibly let out some steam (though I’ve never seen any) but doesn’t affect the cooking. But if you prefer jumbo eggs, this steamer is definitely not made for them, at least not six or seven at a time… a limitation that, considering this is billed as an "egg cooker," is actually kind of ridiculous.

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!

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.

Well, I was looking forward to this product. Because I have been boiling eggs using my cooking pots. And even though it got the job done, I started to see a white stain inside my pots from the eggs shells. So, I decided that it might benefit me to purchase this product to avoid further damage to my cooking pots. But words cannot express how disappointed I was to receive an incomplete package! The package came without the measuring cup, with the pin on the bottom. How did this happen? I can't understand. The pin part is one of the essential parts of this product because the eggs will explode if you don't make a hole on the top, which makes me feel that this is a used product! I don't know, but I can't reconcile how this part is missing from the package. Then there is the hassle of returning this package to either get the money back or a replacement item. The option to get the money back is between a couple of weeks or up to 30 days. By that time, I may even forget I suppose to have the money back into my account. Then I thought, well, maybe the exchange option is best, but no, it allowed me to buy a 99 dollars waffle machine I do not need, and to put this in perspective, I purchased a 19 dollars egg cooker, and they gave me a 99 dollars option to replace the product. And in case you are wondering, I didn't see how I could choose a product of my liking for the exchange! So I'm stuck with finding something around my kitchen to make the holes on the eggs! Thanks for the hassle! This whole thing is ridiculous! I won't buy anything else from these people. Save yourself some time and money by purchasing one good product rather than multiples, avoiding headaches.
