Such a Cool Device!
Oh my god how did I ever live without this thing?! It's such a time saver and seriously cute to boot!
The packaging for this product is great -- several informative booklets and gorgeous design all around. The product itself is tiny -- about half the size of my rice cooker -- and takes up no counter space at all. It almost reminds me of Japanese design, for its simplicity and efficiency.
Using the product couldn't be easier: just pierce the eggs, put in the right amount of water (I general put in just a little more than the line for hard boiled, since my first batch came out a little less hard than I'd have liked), push the button and walk away. The only thing I don't like about this product is the fact that the buzzer does not stop buzzing until you attend to the cooker. So you couldn't just set it to cook and walk away to take a shower or do the laundry or whatever -- you need to come back and physically turn it off, lest you and the neighbors be subjected to the drone of its alarm.
BUT besides that, it does its job wonderfully! My eggs have all come out cooked just to my liking. I've only tried hard boiled, but I imagine that soft, poached, omelette, etc. all turn out just as well. It's a great little design and I'm so glad I splurged. You should too!
