I bought one of these at Walmart a few days ago. I used it yesterday for the first time. I followed instructions exactly as written. I think, in my entire life, I never made hard boiled eggs so perfect, in every way. You shake them at the end, and they came out perfectly shelled! Money well spent!
I always wondered if those things worked. Thanks for the info.
I peel mine right after I take them off the stove. I run lots of cold water over them while peeling. The cold makes them contract and the shells come right off.
What a neat little gadget! I purchased a Krups egg cooker a few years ago - I hated boiling eggs could never figure out the best way. It also cooks them perfectly and one of my most used kitchen appliances.
I don't know about this gadget, but I do know that those little electric steamers, insant pots, and simply steaming not boiling eggs in a pot make the shells slip off easily every time.
I use a MCM egg cooker and that works well. For peeling, I put boiled eggs in a small pan and bang the eggs around in there to crack shells then run cold water on them. Works for me.
