I purchased this at a gourmet cooking shop. It worked perfectly. I wanted my egg cooked a little more so I increased the time for a hard boiled egg from 5 minutes to 6 1/2. It was perfect! It's a little tricky seeing the water line because the egg has to be in (because of water displacement) but once you get the feel for that, it works great.

I think the suggested times are ok if you have a powerful microwave like me. Everyone here has had different experiences and the reason for that is that each brand of microwave functions a little differently and there is a noticeable difference between the higher and lower powered (wattage) ones, a fact that people do not appear to keep into account.

I had bought the boiley a while ago but used it today for the first time. I needed a soft-boiled egg for my 11 month old because he does not like it any other way so far. I had seen some of the reviews here saying it takes longer than recommended so put it in the microwave for 4 minutes. It got medium done. On my particular microwave 3 minutes would be tops for a soft-boiled egg, which is very convenient because every time I put it on the stove, even with the "Norpro Egg Rite Egg Timer", I get busy with something else and forget to turn off the stove and take out the egg from the water so it does not overcook, at exactly the right time.

I gave it four stars because they have not given clear instructions for its usage. They should be more specific about it and state more clearly the approximate times based on the wattage of the particular microwave being used.

Other than that I am satisfied with the product. At first I was afraid of the egg exploding but that didn't happen. My guess is that people whose eggs explode may not be putting the right amount of water. When the water runs out in the cup, no moisture is left outside the egg so the shell gets overheated and explodes. But I am not a scientist so this is just an educated guess.

Just purchased this item from a Kitchen Store yesterday. I tried it 2 times this morning. The first time the egg exploded 1:30 into the 5 minute cooking time, second time the egg cooked 3:30 minutes and I heard crackling so I stopped to check and the egg had cracked at the bottom and was oozing.
Say your money!
