I decided to give this a try after getting tired of waiting 15 minutes every morning to heat water and make a single soft-boiled. It took about three tries before I got the timing right with my microwave, but now I get a perfect egg after 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the microwave!

Yeah!
I recently had gastric bypass surgery, so my belly has room for only one egg. That’s why I bought this egg cooker. It works!
As you can see in the picture, the top half of the cooker is lined with metal. The bottom half has a removable metal cup. No sparks, I can assure you! You take out the bottom metal cup and fill the plastic shell with water to the fill line. There are two lines; I keep filling to the higher one. Maybe that’s why I always have some water sputtering out of the seam during cooking. Just water sputters-no egg!
The instruction pamphlet recommends that the egg you cook be at room temperature. If I had the time to wait for that, I’d boil eggs the old-fashioned way, no? I can cook an egg straight from the fridge just fine. You will have to experiment with cooking times. I’ve managed to render both soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs using this thing. The egg white closer to the shell tends to be more cooked than what’s closer to the yolk. In that respect, your results will not be identical to cooking in water. Even so, you can get a respectable, edible result. Cook for too long, and you may get a rubber egg with a weird red spot in it (burnt?).
That egg is pretty dang hot to handle when it’s done. So is the cooker. Get your oven gloves and pot holders out to remove from the microwave. I cut the top with an egg topper and eat the egg as it sits right in the bottom half of the cooker.
I find this cooker easy to use and suitable for my needs.
