Nordic Ware Egg Boiler

I was skeptical, but this works suprisingly well. No need to pierce the eggs and they haven't cracked once. Just remember to add water to the base first! I almost forgot a couple of times, and I wish there was a reminder right on top. The whole thing gets very hot when it's done so be careful. The eggs seem easier to peel than when boiled in water.

I think this egg steamer is must to have. Works as promised. I like the eggs soft inside so I steamed them for about 6-7 minutes and they were cooked exactly the way I like. I was surprised that the shell peels out so easy. The size and the quality of the steamer are both great. It's easy to clean and store. The lid not fit completely but looks like it didn't effect the eggs steaming.

I've been trying to make perfect hard boiled eggs all my life. I've followed "recipes" from the internet, suggestions from friends and families, all with wildly varying results. Also, I've hated boiling a whole pot of water just to make a few boiled eggs. I finally got this egg steamer and its PERFECT!!! I love that it uses very little water, you set it in the microwave with the timer, and just go about your day while it cooks in only 8 minutes. The eggs came out perfectly cooked, much better than I've ever done with a pot of water! I also love that I can cook only 1 or 2 eggs at a time.

The simplicity of this is what makes it appealing. Simply fill it up to the line with the correct amount of water and then put in the microwave for the correct number of minutes (there is a chart provided). Test it out we did two white large eggs and two extra large brown. All at the same time. It did not have directions for a 1200 W microwave but using some simple math I was able to find the right time. The eggs turned out perfectly as we wanted. Not a complaint but some improvements could be made: 1. Include instructions for 1200w microwaves 2. It would be really convenient if those times were listed on the inside of the lid or even on the outside of the product so you don't have to reference the manual every time

This Nordic Ware egg steamer is great to have. You can steam 4 eggs at a time which is perfect for my individual needs. Simple to use and easy to clean. You can make your eggs soft, medium or hard by varying cook times. Hard eggs, which I prefer, take about 8 minutes in my 1000 watt microwave. Soft or medium takes 2-3 minutes less time. (Again, using a 1000 watt microwave. Smaller microwaves take more time.) Just be sure to follow the enclosed instructions. That is very important and they stress that point in the instructions. And they warranty this product for 5 years against defects in materials and workmanship. Just use it as instructed and it should give you a long lifetime of service. I highly recommend it.

My entire family loves hard boiled eggs. When I received the Nordic Ware 4egg microwave egg boiler had to try it out immediately. It's so easy, you as water to the full line put the silver egg holder in it and add the eggs. Then close it up put it in the microwave for 8 minutes, cook them down crack them and eat perfect hard boiled eggs. We have used it multiple times since e got it. It's so easy and always perfectly done!!

Just used my new egg steamer. Was it faster then boiling water and doing it in the stove, maybe not. Was it fun and easy, yes! I have to play around with the time for cooking I went with 9 minutes and mine were still a little soft boiled. They were delicious though. I will try ten minutes next time. I will probably send this with my college age child to his apartment and buy myself another one. I like that the prices are dishwasher (top shelf) safe. Makes for easy clean up although I think some warm soapy water would be just as easy to clean it. All in all I like it and I feel like I'll use it quite a bit.

This is a handy little gadget for those who like boiled eggs warm in the morning but don't have the time to stand over a pot. The instructions recommended for a 1100 watt oven, cook for 5 minutes for a soft boiled egg. My microwave is 1250 so I thought for 5 minutes the egg should be medium boiled. Not so, it came out with white barely cooked and yolk completely runny - so back into microwave for 3 additional minutes - yolk is contained and warm but runny and white is not completely done and stuck to egg shell. Okay so back into microwave for an additional 3 minutes, eggs came out perfect. Hard boiled with yolk done but not rubbery which can occur when over cooked. I can see me placing my eggs in the microwave in the morning while I go about my routine and having some nice warm eggs ready for me. Once you figure out this gadget with your microwave it should be a real time saver.

My daughter and her roommate always use this in their dorm room. It came with instructions for different yolk types. Soft boiled for ramen and hard boiled for salad. Listed times were precise but I recommend you use a higher wattage microwave. I tried it in a smaller older model and eggs took forever and still underdone. Be mindful when removing from microwave, water is hot.

This is a great product. It's 3 pieces and will steam 4 eggs at once. Thoroughly read the directions for using and washing the item. It took me a couple of tries with different times to get the egg cooked the way I like it, hard boiled. You will need to use a hot pad or towel to take this out of the microwave and be careful of hot steam. I cooked 4 eggs for 10 mins and let them sit a few minutes longer in the cooker. I then removed the egg plate, dumped the hot water, filled it with cold water and added the eggs to cool off. After about 5 minutes I removed the eggs from the cold water and was easily able to peel them. The only thing I didn't like was that water got between the two “layers” of the top of the cooker. If you're not careful you can burn yourself when removing the lid.
