How in the world is this easier or quicker?
On top stove.with faster method. Jim, you are right on this one.
I poach my eggs for egg salad
My electric steamer has slots to set eggs. Great
Lol much simpler in a pot of boiling water….
I have made boiled eggs in a coffee pot while working on the road
How is water in a pot DIRTY ??? Really
I can make them faster in my egg cooker.
in the directions ,…it says microwave and than it says set oven to 325 degrees??????????????????
I do mine in microwave easy .
This is great! Nice to always have on hand !!
Ha! With my luck, they would explode all over my oven. I steam mine for 15 min., then in ice water for 20 min. Perfect eggs, peel like a dream
Good idea
Recipe states in microwave. Should be oven. But I’m curios to know if eggs won’t explode or burn just setting in a dry muffin pan.
This may sound great, but with an induction cooktop, water boils almost instantly! Heating up the oven cannot be more efficient than boiling water.
Waste of time and energy. Quicker on the stovetop.
Boiling I use less electricity .turn the oven will heat the the kitchen
Please!!!!!!!
This is stupid. Instead of using one pan, you are using a muffin tin AND a bowl of ice water. Instead of 10 – 15 minutes on the stove top, you have to heat up your oven, which can take 10 minutes or more, then bake for 20- 30 minutes. This uses more electricity or gas and more utensils. Why do these cooking sites keep trying to reinvent the wheel?
I’ve tried this – I’ll stick with boiling, thanks. It didn’t change the taste any, but boiled eggs come out prettier. The baked ones were a little brown on the side that was touching the muffin tin.
I’ll stick to the “old fashioned way”.
