5.0 out of 5 stars Best Egg Cooker on the Market as of 2005, December 18, 2005

What a delight it is to know that I can have hardboiled or poached eggs any time I want, with almost no effort, and no supervision. You can put your eggs in the machine when you wake up, go upstairs to shower, and never worry about it, because the machine shuts off by itself when it's done. Hardboiled eggs are done perfectly every time. Moreover, if you want to have hardboiled eggs without the bother of taking off the shell, you can just put four eggs into the poaching tray and fill to the hardboil mark.

The eggs will come out a funny shape, but unless we're making devilled eggs, we don't care.

There's only one disadvantage to this machine, and that is that you can't just dump the whole thing into the dishwasher. Sulfer tends to be released from the eggs and stick on the machine and you have to wipe that off regularly by hand. It can get a little dirty. But that's the worst thing I can say about this machine.

Simply put, this makes our lives easier for a very modest price. I never thought I needed an egg cooker before, but now that I have one, I'll never go back.

We received an Oster egg cooker as a wedding gift many years ago and used it frequently, especially for poached eggs. When the Teflon wore out, we were unable to find this product on the market. We tried other egg cookers/poachers which were adequate, but we always wanted another Oster. When we found that amazon.com was offering this product, we ordered it. I boils up to 8 eggs and poaches up to 4 eggs. This is a wonderful little appliance that is easy to operate and is easy to clean.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect eggs everytime, March 23, 2004

This is a very easy to use and functional machine. Whether you want soft/hard "boiled eggs" or poached the egg cooker does the job.

Pros:
Small size
Great eggs
Easy to use
Quick

Cons:
Parts and unit are not dishwasher safe
No finish bell (but the click the button makes is fairly loud)
Poached egg tray has to be coated with butter/oil/Pam with every use-should have been teflon coated
