The Egg Pod works exactly as described and shown in the TV commercial. But you MUST use it properly and follow the instructions. EGG EXPLODING If you put an egg in a regular container in the microwave, it will explode. The reason that Egg Pod works is because the eggs are enclosed in aluminum that blocks the microwaves. The eggs are actually cooked from the steam and not microwave radiation. There is a bottom aluminum insert that the eggs sit in and a top aluminum insert that fits into the top plastic cover. YOU MUST USE BOTH INSERTS! If you look at any of the pictures of an exploded egg, you never see the complete product. That is, the top insert is always missing in the pictures. Of course, the egg will explode! If you use the product as described with the top and bottom inserts assembled (which are well marked), the eggs will not and cannot explode. COOK TIME The product is designed to make hard-boiled eggs. Soft-boiled eggs will be too soft for the shake and peel function. 9 minutes is an average cook item for 4 eggs in a standard microwave. You can adjust by 30 second increments to cook the eggs exactly how you like them. I have an 1100 watt microwave and 8 minutes is perfect for me. COOLING & PEELING You must cool the eggs for 2 minutes before peeling. The cold water makes the egg contract and makes peeling of the shell easier. You can run cold water for 2 minutes, or simply add fresh water and add ice cubes, then wait 2 minutes. Do not remove the water/ice before shaking. The water is necessary for the peeling process. Shake firmly, up and down, 10 times. If the shells don’t fall right off, it’s because you didn’t shake it hard enough. I use my Egg Pod every day and love it. It’s fast and easy. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Follow the directions and you’ll have the same experience.
