First I'll say how much I really am enjoying mine...we have made quite a few things already that turn out delish! The one thing I can't seem to master is the hard boiled eggs. Has anyone had much luck with them? I have tried a few times and they always come out soft boiled? Thanks

I watched Jan's demo and it was laughable - showing how to cook a hardboiled egg - my eyes saw a half ""baked"" juicy in the center egg. And the soft boiled egg he wanted was half hard. His demo was a disaster!

Wouldn't it be easier and less expensive to just boil some water on the stove to cook an egg rather than firing up that energy-pulling high power electrical drain on your meter head?

Not too sure but I'm thinking the little oven, using a 110 outlet isn't using as much energy as a stove on a 220. Besides its not that its hard to boil water I'm just thinking in the summer instead of filling the kitchen with steam from boiling water I would just use the nuwave...which was a nice feature....not having to heat kitchen up in warm months.

I'm with you! I have an open house arrangement and boiling water on the stove in the summer for anything is not pleasant.

I just bought K39370 the Eggspress Egg Cooker & Poacher by MarkCharles Misilli . It's a little under $20. It works very well, soft boiled eggs come out soft boiled and hard boiled are done right, too. It uses steam and very little water so the temperature and humidity in the kitchen don't go up much at all. Also easy to adjust the cooking time if you like your eggs firm or runny. It's small and packs up into itself. It solved my problem for hard boiled eggs in the summer.

Why in the world would anyone want to make hard-boiled eggs in an oven? Would never even occur to me. Get out a pan and boil some water!

[jen0013]

Faster and no steam from boiling water is why, also no heat from a regular oven! When its 90 degrees outside who wants that heat in their kitchen...not me.

I read one recipe that said to let the eggs sit 20-30 minutes. That would not save time just heating up the house. Wouldn't they continue to cook during that time? When I boil them I put them in cold water to stop the cooking. OR maybe cook a minute longer?
