MarkCharles Misili Egg Cooker

I admit it, I'm a s*ucker for kitchen gadgets. Today my TSV Genius mixer thing was delivered, I haven't tried it yet. I also received my MCM Egg Cooker. I couldn't wait to give that thing a try. I've tried numerous methods of boiling eggs and I can never get them to peel easily or cleanly. Let me tell you, this little cooker is just the thing I needed. It worked like a charm!

DH & I saw on Pioneer Woman for hard boiled eggs: boil for 10 min, then a 20 minute ice bath. DH boils his own eggs and totally loves this, hasn't failed once. Even on new eggs.

JeanLouise - I know what you mean! It really is a little wonder. I can whip out deviled eggs now like nobody's business! It also works great for a quick little omelet in the morning. I can't tell you how many eggs I have mangled trying to peel them, but not anymore It's funny that it works so well because it kind of looks like a toy. I know you are really going to enjoy using it, I sure do!

I almost bought that yesterday, but dumped it from my cart at the last minute. Sounds like that was a mistake

betteb, if you cook a lot of hardboiled eggs I think you would really enjoy it. My husband and I are trying to eat low carb and deviled eggs are a great snack, but I HATE peeling eggs. When I boil the eggs in the egg cooker they almost fall off by themselves (OK, slight exaggeration). This gadget gets used almost every day. I use it to make myself a two egg omelet sometimes too. I have tried making softboiled eggs but I need a little more practice. I would definitely give this a try.

I have had three different brands and kinds of egg cookers over the years and all of them have worked great! I wouldn't be without one because they are cheap and reliable and you can walk away from the little eggs while they cook and they turn out just fine. AND are always easy to peel. All cookers were inexpensive and easy to store.

All you need to do for easy to peel hard boiled eggs is to steam them. Place an inch of water in a pan and add steamer basket. Place eggs in basket and burn on the heat. When water boils set timer for ten minutes. Done! Gently crack eggs and place in a bowl of iced water to cool. Peels fall right off.

I got one of those cookers the other day also!!!! Made six hard-boiled eggs the other day and I'll tell you, they are the best hard-boiled eggs I've ever tasted! They were PERFECT! I've been hit or miss with various methods of cooking eggs. The one item that worked OK for me was the red "egg" that you put into the water with your eggs and it shows various stages of doneness. But I still had issues sometimes with eggs being hard to peel. With this little cooker, the shell came off so easy! I did leave them in the cooker an extra few minutes to be sure they were as hard-boiled as I like. Great little purchase!!!!

I've never had a problem cooking eggs or peeling them. No ice bath, either, I just run them under cold water until they're cool enough to peel, then do it. Works every time.

I concur with the steaming method of cooking eggs, which is essentially what the egg cooker is doing. But I don't use an egg cooker. I just use a pot and a bit of water, as described above by Lynneuk.

JLF, glad you're enjoying your cooker!

Egg cookers are fantastic. I grew up with one in the house and they just make it so easy.

To the OP-You have just sold two of these for QVC. I am going to order one for me and one for my daughter.

I had Henrieta Clucker (QVC) and she just died (buried her in the trash, said a sad good-bye).

I like easy hard cooked eggs. My daughter likes poached eggs.

Yes! It will do soft, medium, and hard - max. 6 eggs in the holder. I just made soft this morning and aside from them being hot to hold, they cooked perfectly.

We bought a Henrietta a few months ago. Makes great eggs and she's still clucking along.

I love egg cookers. My MIL bought us one years ago. I've had 3 in 25 years. They make the best & easiest boiled eggs.

Mark Charles needs to go back to the drawing Board. Some of his inventions are bordering on ridiculous. How hard is it to boil eggs ? You don't need this gadget. Waste of counter space.

No need to be a sourpuss. Nobody said it was hard to boil eggs. What's hard is boiling them in a way that they will consistently peel easy and clean. For $20 bucks, the gadget is worth it to me. And no waste of counter space either, I keep it up in the cabinet.

I buy Egglands Best hard boiled ready to eat eggs in the grocery store. 6 to a package, and I eat one almost every afternoon for a snack.
