Do you have egg cups? Marthe48 Sep 2021 #11
Yes, and sometimes I use them, when I want the same dipping experience I had as a child. tblue37 Sep 2021 #12

If I don't have bacon, I make a cheesy omelet. I must have the bacon with the over easy eggs. Dealbreaker

in a bowl and go slow. If more than one egg in the bowl, you will have to cut some whites and rotate the eggs. Yolks can be soft and hot with caution.

I was making my daughter breakfast years ago microwaving eggs. When I stuck a fork in one it exploded. We found bits of egg days later in really odd places in the kitchen.

and microwaved. I let it sit after I took it from the microwave and waited to uncover it. I felt like I was living adventurously. (My husband knew someone who had microwaved an egg in the shell and it blew up, burned their face really bad. )

It cooks with steam. To hard boil eggs, just put them in and poke a hole at the top of the shell. It comes with trays that allow you to fry eggs, poach them, or make omelettes. Any way you like it, it takes at most about ten minutes from start to finish. I can control how hard to boil the eggs by limiting the amount of water…I’ve discovered now that I like soft boiled eggs, although they’re harder to peel.

Not trying to sound like a RonCo pitch man, I just really like this thing. I buy cooking gadgets all the time, and most of them just end up in a cupboard unused, but this one is actually useful. Anyhow, if anyone’s curious, here it is.

Somehow it tastes better that way--probably the taste of nostalgia.

It was so cute. Had a rooster on it. I used it whenever I could. I don't know what happened to his, but I came across one at an estate sale. If I didn't buy it, I enjoyed some nice memories
