Customer Review: Easy Boiled Eggs
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not generally a big fan of over-specialized kitchen appliances, myself -- especially when the little mutants threaten to swarm the shrinking counterscape -- but...
Hard-boiled eggs are an ideal breakfast staple for me. Most mornings I'm running around getting myself and my kids up and fed and out the door, that I don't always get a lot of time to eat something decent myself. Having hard-boiled eggs available to supplement my breakfast selections is a big plus for me. Thus, my interest in a small contained unit that could vastly simplify the hard-boiling of eggs. (I can do the boil-in-a-pot thing, but it's a bit more time and attention than I often have time for. Also, once having set them up in the pot on the stove, I have a tendency to forget that they're there, which leads to all sorts of interesting but less-than-ideal results.)
The Krups 230-70 Egg Express Egg Cooker's biggest plus, to me, is that it is very simple and easy to use. The printed instructions are very simple and easy to follow, even for me (who tends to read all instructions twice before doing anything). The water cup is clearly marked with water levels according to cook level (soft, medium, hard) and number of eggs, allowing for quite a variety of cooking options (two eggs soft-boiled, six eggs hard-boiled, etc.). Its egg-piercing pin is also quite easy to use, and is mounted safely inside an egg-shaped concave curve within the base of the water cup. The timer takes care of everything else, triggering the heating mechanisms and bellowing quite loudly when its done. (I can hear it easily well across the house.) It's a bit loud when I'm sitting in the next room, but overall, I'd rather have it loud enough to make certain I hear it wherever I am, 'cause otherwise, I'm liable to forget all about having set the thing. It would, however, be nice if the unit automatically shut down when the timer expired; the fact that it doesn't inspires me to bolt across the house as soon as I hear its wail.
One element of instruction that was not in the paperwork, however, is that eggs should ideally be around room-temperature when started in the cooker. When I first got the unit, I don't know how many times I loaded it with eggs straight from the refrigerator, then wondered why one or two eggs would crack or burst open during cooking every time. (Different arrangements of eggs, differing the amount of water, etc., seemed to make no difference.) I then ran across some mentions that eggs boil more stably when starting at room-temp, so now I let the eggs sit outside the refrigerator for awhile before cooking them, and bursting eggs have become much more of a rarity.
The very simple disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly of the unit's few pieces (especially if you have a dishwasher for the top two pieces) is also a big plus for me. I've now had my unit for a little over two years, and it still works well.
Overall, it's a good unit, and much simplifies (for me, anyway) the process of hard-boiling a handful of eggs. The only improvement I could think of would be to increase it's capacity, so I can boil more than seven at a time.
Description of Krups F2307051 Egg Cooker, White
Quickly boil up to 7 eggs (soft, medium, or hard) or poach up to 2 eggs. Signal indicates end of cooking cycle. Lid and egg holder are dishwasher safe for quick clean up. Dual switch for boiling and keep warm setting. Removable egg holder facilitates coolThis cooker boils up to seven eggs at one time or poaches one or two eggs in trays. You can use the calibrated water-level indicator to pour the precise amount of water needed to soft-, medium-, or hard-boil one to seven eggs. The indicator (a tube) has a steel pin in the bottom for piercing eggshells; this will leech out the sulfur so yolks remain yellow during cooking rather than turning green. Assuming the proper amount of water is in the egg holder, the timer will ensure the eggs are cooked to the desired level, and then indicates with a light and bell when the hard-boiling is completed. You can then set the timer switch to keep the eggs warm. The plastic egg holder is removable, letting you cool the eggs under running water. Everything cleans easily, including the nonstick coating on top of the boiling plate. The cooker measures 9-1/8 inches wide and 5-1/4 inches high. --Fred Brack
