Product Description
I have had a number of egg cookers over the years, and find that the Krups which I recently purchased is compact and easy to use. I have already used it to hard boil over 3 dozen eggs, and it has performed perfectly.
I love eggs.
Perhaps that's not correct. I love EATING eggs. I like them hardboiled, the boyfriend likes them poached. The problem is, I don't like babysitting a pot.
I recall a time in college where I had set some eggs a boiling pot of water and forgot to set my kitchen timer. Next thing I knew, I had forgotten my poor little pot of eggs and became absorbed in homework (yea, right... television), not realizing the impending doom of the evaporated water until the dry eggs started exploding in my kitchen.
Needless to say, an automatic egg cooker seemed like the perfect companion to my clutzy kitchen skills.
The problem is, the timer is just that -- a kitchen timer. And a quiet one (at least in my opinion). The device does not turn itself off at the end of its cycle. I've gotten a couple slightly rubbery eggs due to the assumption that the machine will shut itself off (much like my rice cooker switches to "keep warm" after the cooking cycle) and the low buzzing sound doesn't penetrate through the dining room and living room to reach my boisterous entertainment room. The buzz is annoying enough, to be sure, just not LOUD enough.
So, like the standard kitchen timer, I'll likely have to keep this egg cooker in the same room that I'm in, so that I can hear the alarm as it goes off.
Even so, it's still a good cooker. The boyfriend loves the poached eggs (since heaven knows I don't know how to cook them right), and I love not having to fish the eggs out of boiling water right on time. You still do have to babysit the timer, and turn the machine to "keep warm" manually after the alarm sounds, but it's still better than being chained to a pot in the kitchen. At least now I can cook eggs next to my television without missing anything.
I have never been able to make a hard boiled egg with beautiful yellow yolks...until now. This small machine is so easy to use and makes beautiful eggs every time. I do not use the warm setting as I think it will cook the eggs longer; as soon as the buzzer goes off, I remove the eggs from the machine and run them under cool water or put them in the fridge. The eggs are also much easier to peel than traditionally cooked eggs. All in all - this product is wonderful!
This egg cooker provides a convenient means of cooking eggs properly, something that should be easy on a stove top but usually isn't. This cooker tends to cook eggs a little more that the instructions suggest. If you want a soft-boiled egg, go with the measurements for really soft eggs and you'll get medium soft. The little poaching trays work really well, but once again go easy on the estimate for cooking time. Two things: Both times I've hard-boiled eggs, one of them has broken. Also, piercing the shell before hard boiling the eggs as instructed does not prevent a slight greening of the yolks (and I was using really fresh, free-range eggs). Since this is the first one of these things I've had, I can't compare it with anything.
The Krups Egg Express is just what the name implies. It cooks perfect eggs every time...quickly and easily. I am not sure how it does it...but it does. Thanks to this little cooker I enjoy eggs a lot more often during the busy work week because they are so easy to cook with this cooker. Just measure out the right amount of water with the included measuring "tube", turn it on and wait for the buzzer...Voila! Breakfast! I highly recommend this cooker to anyone who likes boiled and/or poached eggs! It would make a great gift too!
This is a decent egg cooker... I guess. It only loused up the eggs a couple of times. Unfortunately, it lasted just over a year... just like the one before it.
The switch is a little confusing. I'm neither used to nor like the European nomenclature with pictographs. How about "ON - OFF - WARM?" That works! I wish as much for the cooker. I'm going back to the pot.
My husband loves boiled eggs. We have had an egg cooker for nearly 30 years. Gee, they've been around that long? Yup.
We've had about 4 different cookers over the years, and this one is probably the best. The only drawback to this one is that it only holds 7 eggs. We have had at least one that held 8 eggs.
We like the see-through cover. We like the little handle on the side of the egg basket, sturdiest one we ever had. We like the loud buzzer to let you know the eggs are done. You can definitely hear that one at the other end of our little house.
My husband doesn't like poached eggs, and we have an actual separate pan for that, so I can't say anything about the egg cooker's poached eggs. We have had the cooker for a year or two now, and it is still running great. Every few months I soak the base with vinegar to clean the mineral deposits out, and then it is like new again.
I needed a replacement egg cooker to replace an old Oster unit after I had melted the plastic lid. I searched in vain for one in stores and ended up going online. This one had fairly good reviews at a fair price; the unit arrived as advertised - even more compact and better nesting for storage than my old unit. I'm back to cooking soft- and hard-boiled eggs quickly and consistently - something I can't do with a pot of boiling water. I haven't tried to cook poached eggs. It is all plastic with some sort of non-stick coating on the cooking surface.
Pluses: I like that you can wrap the cord into the base. The buzzer signaling the end of cooking cycle is nice - the old Oster I had would just click off quietly and you wouldn't know it was finished.
Minus: Only one. The power switch has 3 positions - 'Warming' (left position), 'Off' (center position) and 'Cooking' (right position). These are marked, not with words, but with some sort of international symbol that, to me, do not clearly describe the result. To top it off, when switched to 'warming', the pan will get hot enough to boil water and cook an egg, but cooking is slower, there won't be a buzzer signalling that cooking is done and, like an Easter egg, you won't know what you're going to get until you open the egg. I've had just one mistake and after re-reading the directions, I haven't been confused since. I would buy this model as a gift - I might and just keep it as a spare...
The Krups egg cooker works great! It's fast, makes perfect hard-boiled eggs every time, and has a buzzer to let you know when the eggs are done. It is very easy to clean, too--just wipe it out with a moist cloth. The plastic parts are dishwasher safe. I have only used it a couple of times but it does just what it says it would. Also it is small so it fits on the counter almost any place.I don't eat pouched so I can't comment on that feature. One thing I do have to say is that if you like your eggs ""HARD BOILED" then you just add a little more water(as if you had less eggs) and they come out perfect.Buy it YOU will like it!!!!!!!!!!
The Krups egg cooker works great! It's fast, makes perfect hard-boiled eggs every time, and has a loud buzzer to let you know when the eggs are done. It also has the "keep warm" feature which keeps the eggs warm but does not cause them to become rubbery. It is very easy to clean, too--just wipe it out with a moist cloth. The plastic parts are dishwasher safe. We use it almost every day.
We have never used it for poached eggs so can't comment on that feature.
