I have only used this to hard boil eggs and it works fine. The only short coming is the noise it makes when it is complete is not very loud. Unless you are nearby and not totally focused on something you may miss it.Other than that it is very easy to use. Eggs come out perfect.

I can have perfect soft boiled eggs in less time than it would take to actually boil the water!. Cleanup is easy and the results are delicious!

if you cook a lot of boiled eggs, this is a great, we use it every week.put your eggs in ice cold water at the end for easy peel...

Have purchased 3 of these, two for different households and one as a gift. The one as a gift the person thought it was the slickest thing ever! When I was reading the reviews there was some discussion about the proper way to pierce the egg, one person didn't read the instructions and had difficulty and the other person did read the instructions and had no issues at all. Just saying----

Compact

Simple to cook eggs, best for medium or hard boiled eggs. Come out the same way every time without stinking up the kitchen. One of the best kitchen gadgets ever!

Just a very cool little appliance that produces perfect boiled eggs. Even does poached eggs better than our poacher pan.

Good poached eggs. Making boiled eggs more complicated. O

This is my favorite cooker. Completely satisfied. Easy to use. I have to play with it more but when the alarm goes off after 11 minutes or so the on off switch that moves left to right stays in the on position. I am not sure if it actually turned the heat off or not. I have to play with it more.

I am very happy with the Egg Central. Steaming the eggs makes the shell almost fall off! The omelette tray makes the best omelettes and no mess to clean up. This is an indispensable appliance in my kitchen.

I love this thing. Perfect eggs every time and super fast! I use this at least one a week.

I love everything about it. Great product.

Able to cook eggs the way I want to, from softboil, over easy, scrambled, or an omelet. No muss, no fuss, easy clean up.

Set it and forget it cooking, easy to peel hard boiled eggs (the shells almost fall off the eggs), eggs cooked perfect inside and out.I rarely write online reviews of any kind but after using the Cuisinart Egg Cooker I felt compelled to give a shout-out. I am old school when it comes to cooking and try to stick with the tried and tested methods I learned from my Mom. Over the years I’ve had ~ an 80% success rate when it comes to making hard boiled eggs (the conventional way) with enough cosmetic appeal take to family functions as deviled eggs. I am really glad I read the majority of the positive AND negative reviews before purchasing my cooker. The main thing I learned that was the most useful is “READ THE DIRECTION FIRST”. I’ll be honest, I had to read through them 3 times before I felt confident that I knew how to proceed. The first thing I did was make 10 hardboiled eggs. Each of them turned out PERFECT. As soon as the timer went off I unplugged the unit (based on a negative comment someone made - saying one of this things will burn your house down). As soon as the eggs cooled down just enough to transfer them to a cold water bath I let them soak until able to pick them up comfortably. I could not believe how easy the shell almost “FELL OUT” the egg. Besides the set it and forget it cooking process and the easy of peeling all the eggs were cooked properly. I’ll admit I did make one bone-head move during that first attempt. I did use the piercing device on the bottom of the provided beaker – BUT – dummy me didn’t take the protective plastic off the needle. The second batch was FLAWLESS. My daughter watched me the two times I used the cooker. When I got up the next morning, she had already used the cooker to make soft boiled eggs for herself and my grandson. Again, easy to use and the results were outstanding. GREAT product!

I have no issues with this at all... but I did great green eggs once because I added a bit to much water. And one busted but the kids got a kick out of it. I don't like putting that whole in the egg. Ooops...

Convenience

Great gadget. Love being able to make a batch at the same time.

I absolutely love this egg cooker! It will cook my eggs several different ways and it’s easy to use and easy to clean.

This thing is compact, versatile and easy to use. I've never been able to make easy peal eggs using conventional egg boiling techniques but this thing makes it easy. Every egg pealed perfectly, no chunks!

so easy. now im always running out of eggs
