4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but not a must-have, April 11, 2010

This is a really interesting product, and I was initially attracted to it because it looks like some kind of alien seed pod.

As a kitchen accessory, it works great for eggs, but is somewhat awkward to work with for vegetables. The opening in the top is a little narrow if you're cooking a lot of food.

I really like this Pod. It is good for draining its contents and it keeps things from scorching in glass cook pots. Some small items may slip through the holes so use pasta etc. in a shape to avoid that problem. It is a great thing to have in the kitchen....and it makes me laugh every time I see it as it is sort of goofy looking. When I show it to people, none of them have any idea how it is used.

I got this thinking I could boil frozen mixed veggies quickly. Unfortunately, that's out of the question as the holes on this are really really big. The peas, cut carrots, corn, and green beans will just float right through. It's good for much larger cut up veggies like broccoli, large carrot hunks, etc. It says on the package it can hold 1 dozen eggs. I haven't tried it, but it's certainly large enough. It's much larger than I anticipated. I wish they made a mini version.
