I love my new egg cooker, Mark Charles Misilli, thanks!

Do any of you have it, and what do you think?

I have one that looks like a chicken. I use it all the time for hard boiled eggs.Got from HSN years ago. It can do poached eggs or soft boiled as well. Is very cute . It's name is Henrietta!!

I've done hard boiled,soft boiled, even poached, I've never poached an egg in my life,

my husband loved it! My favorite is soft boiled and hard boiled. I don't have a name for mine, I'll have to think about that!

No, I didn't name it--that is what it's called---I try not to name my small appliances :-) For some reason the emoticons aren't showing up. Fix it Q!!!!!!!

I've never seen one that small before! I love egg cookers - they are so handy and make everything so easy. I think mine is an Oster and it's quite a bit larger than this one.

I ordered this but it is on waitlist - i am glad to hear it will be worth the wait.

I have a small kitchen so I try to keep gadgets to a minimum.

For perfect boiled eggs I just steam them for 10 minutes in my vegetable steamer basket, makes them very easy to peel.

For perfect poached eggs just put a cup and a half of water in a cereal bowl, crack in two eggs and microwave for 1 minute and 44 seconds, then let sit in water for another minute.Remove with a slotted spoon.

Easy, no mess and nothing extra to store.

We travel with an egg cooker. The one I have is very small like the MCM, but I've had for a number of years. Handy even when staying someplace with a kitchen, but limited tools. Handier yet when staying someplace without a kitchen. Have even used on a cruise. (You just ask for raw eggs from your dinner server the night before; same goes when staying in a hotel with a restaurant.

Have been know to make soft boiled eggs in the car (I have converters in all three vehicles). Tiny enough to fit (along with a small Brita pitcher) into my carry-on bag or tote, and has traveled with us to a number of foreign countries. Yes, I'm REALLY picky about how my eggs are cooked. Very liquid yolks, well cooked whites. I rarely order eggs when eating out other than as an omlet, a tortilla or a frittata.
