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

The media could not be loaded. I really like this steamed egg maker, and its ease of use. The steaming capacity and egg quality are better than any other comparable product I’ve used. It’s small in size, but it is a solid, and sturdy design. Your eggs will come out perfectly cooked every time, and peeling is super duper easy. I use mine at least 3 times a week, and it has yet to let me down. Highly recommended.

Woah de woah!!! This little egg cooker is great. I've tried so hard to find a way to cook boiled eggs so they would peel easily, with limited and uneven success. This egg cooker is a game changer. It's super easy to use, cooks very quickly, requires only rinsing after cooking boiled eggs and takes very little storage space. I haven't used it for other than hard-boiled eggs, but that is more than sufficient as they peel perfectly!

Purchased this because we love boiled eggs but didn't like all the steps involved. Well, this cooker makes it super easy and the eggs are perfect! When it beeps, the eggs are done and I use tongs to lift them into an ice water bath for easy peeling.

Updated 4-star review...Seeing my original 3-star review the company support staff contacted me and offered a new "improved" water measuring cup and asked for an update on this review after using. Done. Here it goes...I have now cooked 3-dozen eggs (2 to 6 at a time) to test the new measuring cup. The results were much better now, especially since I improved my technique.The new measuring cup has a highly readable black and more simplified scale graticules (compared with the nearly invisible graticules on orig cup). I think the repeatability of results was poor because I couldn't read the marks well with the orig cup.And I do like the shell piercing point on the cup... I have no idea what good it does, but it does seam like a good idea.This egg cooker cycle depends entirely on the timed evaporation or water... a well proven design technique. The more water you use the longer the eggs cook.1) The chosen amount of water is poured onto the boiler (hot plate) at the bottom of the unit. The cycle starts when you push the start button.2) Boiling water turns to steam at a nearly constant 212º F/100ºC, which cooks the eggs nicely and gently.3) When all the water boils out, the temp of the heating plate climbs above a 100º+C set point and the bi-metalic power switch snaps and turns the heater off.I would now recommend the cooker if you follow one simple step...• As soon as the egg timer clicks, move the eggs into a pan of cold water to stop internal cooking quickly.If you don't cool the eggs down promptly, the hot eggs' own internal temp will further cook the eggs. This is true no matter how you cook the eggs. The extra heat will cause the outside of the yolk to turn green, the yolk will dry out and the eggs can get rubbery.Remember, the hot plate is still hot after the switch snaps off and it, too, will further cook the eggs as the plate cools down over time.I think this is the reason why some of my eggs over-cooked until rubbery. It didn't matter how much water I poured in if I left the eggs in the cooker for them to overcook.Note to Maxi-Matic manufacturer: the subtle clicking volume when the switch clicks off is too low to be heard unless you are near it when it finishes cooking. It would be an excellent improvement to have the cooker sound out a 'beeeep' when done so it can be heard around the kitchen easily and the cook can get the eggs into some cool water promptly....Original 3-star review...My thoughts were that this cute cooker would save me time and mess when I cook up my fave hard boiled eggs. It does and it doesn't. I've tested for different results by varying the amount of water used in the cooking and the number of eggs cooked at one time. The fiddly bits of making hard boiled (HB) eggs are easier and simpler but the results are a bit denser and tougher (over cooked), some yolks have a greenish patina and sometimes whites are more yellowish (from the heat) than doing it my proven way... **Haven't tested the scrambled eggs or omelet functions because I don't eat them, but it might be nice to cook those egg dishes without oil or butter.I prefer the results that experience has honed and have gone back to that method...** Sometimes I cook up to a dozen eggs at a time so I have two ready for me on egg mornings... and an HB egg or two readily available for salads, etc. Now I have a new appliance to donate to the thrift store.[**Bring eggs to boil from cold water (5-min, remove from heat immediately and let stand for 15 min, pour out the hot water and replace with cold water (5 to 10-min) to stop the cooking... this method has always produced delicately cooked HB eggs with no gray-green around the yolk, ever, and no yellow in the whites. ]

I really like this egg maker for the price. It made a 2 egg omelet in under 8 minutes and I didn't have to do much work at all! Just sprinkle some cheese on top when it was almost done and leave the top on to let it melt. I did take the omelet out before the timer went off because it was done enough for me. When I made some hard boiled eggs in it it worked okay. I did find that the timer would go off before they were actually hard boiled and not medium boiled but I just added a tiny bit more water and put the top back on an let them sit for a couple minutes. The instruction book is really helpful when it comes to suggested times to cook eggs. It does help to put the eggs in cold water or an ice bath when you take them out. But I can't say the extremely easy peeling of eggs is just because of the cold water. This egg cooker makes peeling eggs so easy! I used to get so frustrated peeling eggs, especially because I do a keto diet and eat alot of eggs, but this egg cooker makes them come out flawless! I'm not afraid to make deviled eggs anymore because this makes peeling so much easier too. Haven't used the poached egg feature yet so can't comment on that.

Just got it but have been using it often. So easy, quick, and no mess to clean up. I like my hard boiled eggs well done so I fill the entire water measuring container to the top. Perfect eggs, peel very easily.

Easy to use. it cools the eggs exactly as it shud depending on the water level. Eggs are easier to peel on cooled. Builds steam quickly. Hard boiled is just perfect

Works exactly as advertised. Used large eggs and filled the measuring cup to med and it gave me med hard boiled eggs in a short time. I didn’t know how much I needed this in my life lol.
