Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this at bed bath and beyond on the advice of my sister. I was really skeptical at first and my first batch of eggs turned out terrible. What a mess, cracked eggs, eggs boiled out etc. called my sis and asked her about where you pierce the eggs as the instructions say poke it on the top. Well,the top to my simple mind is the skinny part! Not so said my sis. The top of the egg is the fat part of the egg!!!!! So i tried another batch, poked them on the top (bottom in my mind) of the egg, put the eggs in with the hole facing down instead of up... And voila!! Perfect eggs in about 9 minutes. And i mean perfect, done to perfection! These eggs are cooked via steam vs. boiling and steamed eggs peel SO MUCH EASIER!! I can peel almost the whole shell off in one piece. Usually my eggs look like they have been through an MMA fight after peeling them. Yes the lid gets hot as its trapping steam (duh) so keep the kiddies away while its cooking. To address the negative reviews about the hot lid, it has handles so all the nitwits out there can lift the lid without getting burned. And oh yeah, open the lid AWAY from you. Dont plant your face over it when u open it. Lesson learned! And the pictures of it are decieving, this thing is small! About the size of a softball. It takes up very little counter space. Nice! Summary: this gadget is awesome! Perfect eggs easy cleanup. Cant wait to do deviled eggs for easter dinner. This is a paleo/primal eaters dream!
