could never get it right with a pan and boiling water. could rarely get them to peel easily. with cuisinart egg maker, they seem to peel consistently well.

I love eggs - all kinds of eggs - cooked through any method. This is a dream come true. It takes less than 15 to have the PERFECT hard boiled eggs. Poached eggs come out perfectly. Nothing has failed to come out right. You absolutely cannot walk off and leave this though - when it completes the cooking process (whichever you choose), the unit beeps and flashes the light until you turn it off. I don't want to try and see how long it takes to turn off - I would rather not break or burn the unit. Clean up is easy - but it DOES leave deposits that you will need to use vinegar to remove every so often.

I bought this for my mom who is on a diet that is heavy on hard-boiled eggs, and she thinks it's just fantastic and has simplified her life. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and highly efficient.

I have ordered other gadgets in the past to try them once and not be impressed with them and put them in a cabinet to be forgotten. My sister in law recommended the Egg Central and I ordered one and love it. I ordered one for each of our kids and they love them. The eggs are cooked to your liking and the shells just slip off leaving an entire egg without loosing most of the white inside of the shell. All I can say is every cook needs one.

A friend has an electric teapot, I'm not sure if it is the same model as this but it is similar. I bought this one and it works great. Very simple, fast to boil water, I'm very satisfied.

I do enjoy hard boiled eggs but hate the struggle of removing the shell and having it wreck my perfect egg. Well, this is THE solution to that problem. I haven't tried the other cooking methods but highly recommend it for hard boiling technique. BTW, I use regular water, not distilled...hasn't affected my egg color or taste.

The best hard-boiled eggs I have every had! Easy to peel, which is what I was looking for.

I read the operation instructions and the helpful tips included with the unit. I am making great boiled eggs and omelets! It’s easy to use and clean up. I learned that the eggs I use are too large for the three egg omelet recipe. But two egg omelets are perfect! I like this egg cooker.

Perfect eggs every time!

Excellent product, several cooking options, perfect size, makes great eggs!!

After some experimenting, we found that it is not necessary to poke a hole in the top of each egg. Once they finish cooking, we immediately soak our eggs in ice water. The eggs peel easily and mostly clean.

This is the best egg poacher! It is great to be able to use up to 10 eggs at a time. You need it to make egg salad or deviled eggs. Besides poaching there is a piece to use for omelets too. Perfection every time! The value you get for the money is spot on! Why pay more? This is all you will need! The quality is there!

this is great - cooks 10 at a time and done perfect. I also really like the omelet tray! it makes a nice fluffy omelet!

This egg cooker is awesome! My hard boiled eggs are perfectly cooked and were amazingly easy to peel !

This is my husbands toy. It works well if you follow instructions. I have a hard time opening without breaking eggs if I stack the 2nd layer if 3. Remember fat side of egg is up and needs vent hole pierced. Measure water. I use the 2nd lube from top which makes avfirm yolk but not green.

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
