cooks eggs? yes. adds excitement to your morning? YES!
We all know why we’re here, we want to microwave ourselves a sad little breakfast, this thing does that. Rather well in fact. I’m a two-egg man (not that I’m bragging) and this handles my requirements perfectly (three eggers can be accommodated but not happily). However this lil gems true value lies in its ability to harness shock and delight.I have found that “Brad’ the egg making utensil will randomly ‘explode’ your eggs for you. I haven’t exactly figured out the calculus on this. If I fail to pierce the egg yolks then there is a wonderful chance it will happen. If I pierce the yolks and Brad is in a mood, BLAM! Some explosions are small, just forceful enough to pop the lid up but not disperse any egg. But definitely loud enough to wake your spouse, significant other or ‘overnight friend’ (we in the microwave egg community needn’t judge each other).But if the stars align, Brad (yes I named my egg maker) will emit a gloriously loud and powerful explosion that DOES disburse egg throughout the interior of your radar range. However Brad is a thoughtful thing, as the egg shrapnel will be fully cooked and easily removed.Right now you’re thinking “but I don’t want my eggs to be exploded” LIAR! If you visited IHOP and the wait staff asked if you wanted your eggs to be “scrambled, over easy or exploded” you know darn well you wouldn’t sleep that night if you didn’t ask for yours to be exploded.But wait Mr Reviewer why didn’t you just spray some oil on Brad and that would eliminate the possibility of explosion. Dear Reader, I have experimented with different oils, bargain eggs/cage free eggs, cheese/no cheese, scrambled/no scramble… all to no avail. Brad is in charge here, surrender to Brad’s whims and desires. You will be rewarded.On the plentiful ‘no explosion mornings’ cleanup is fast and easy, yet sad. On the 'explosion mornings’ your bond with Brad is strengthened and cleanup is an act of love.Looking at my spreadsheet it appears that the vast majority of explosions occur when the eggs are hot but haven’t fully congealed yet, in the range of 45-55 seconds after microwaves have been initiated. You have been warned.Practical advice: I find that two large eggs cook with a lil ‘runniness’ in the center (if you like to sop up with toast) right at 1 minute. Your eggs will firm up quickly in the next 10 seconds or so. I’m unsure of the wattage of my microwave, however it’s off-white in color and located above the off-white stove.

Just what I was needed
I wanted my mornings a little easier and this is great! Holds 2 eggs and some cheese easily. In 60-70 seconds i have eggs just right for a sandwich. It's done before the coffee. Easy to clean, I use a spray of Pam. Container doesn't get hot. Eggs taste like eggsUPDATE: I've had this for almost 10 weeks and still going strong. I use it 5 or 6 times a week. No cracks or melting or effecting egg taste. Well worth the price

Microwave tool
This item is easy to use. Takes a few times to get used to it. A way of making eggs, a little more healthy for you. I like not having to clean up frying pan.

Great little tool in the kitchen
Very nice quality, top and bottom are hinged together. We have another one just like it and love it. We use pam on ours, but you really don't need too as the egg will still slide out easily.

Easy eggs at last.
A simple and easy way to enjoy eggs for breakfast or anytime. Holds up to two large eggs with no problem, and the end result fits perfectly on a muffin or bagel. Since there are no instructions included it may take a bit of experimentation on how long to cook in the microwave. The wife has found that 35 second for a single egg and 1 minute 10 second works perfectly for two. Just add a bit of no stick cooking spray and your ready for a hot and healthy breakfast anytime. Remember to break the egg yoke or you may get a rather spectacular mess so if you want a poached egg purchase an egg poacher. If you love a quick and easy scramble egg this is the item for you.

Low vision
I am a person with low vision and I am using Siri to write this. Sorry for any strange words. I purchased this because it seem to be easier to cook something in the microwave then to get out the pan watch it :-) or listen to it cook and then have to get it onto the plate clean the pan do everything. I can pop this into the microwave and 1–2-3 it’s done. I can throw the unit into the dishwasher and it’s great. So far I have not had a bad meal out of this. The directions are very simple and it’s a very easy product to use. I’m very glad I bought it. It saves me from having to clean up the kitchen more than I already have to clean it. I think you’ll enjoy this and find out. It’s an excellent product. Thanks for taking the time to read my review. I greatly appreciate it, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointing business take care

Improvement possible
This egg cooker does work, and survives the dishwasher. I bought two and use them regularly. Areas for improvement: (1) some kind of instruction sheet suggesting such basics as how many eggs to cook at a time would be useful. I have a feeling that the device has capabilities I’ve not thought of yet.That should be easy to do, the next is harder (2) it’s difficult to get the eggs evenly done — they can be hard cooked around the edge while still liquid in the middle. Finally I’ve settled on cooking 2 eggs for one minute — that makes them a little firmer than I would like, but thoroughly cooked.Basically, I’m satisfied— and might even buy another one — but I could be happier. Maybe this should be four stars; I don’t know.

Fast and good egg cooker
My husband uses this every morning to make breakfast sandwiches. Hold up great in dish washer. Eggs do not stick to it after being cooked. We only use one egg so I don’t know if it would hold two or not.
