Just tried this for poached eggs- made one in each. So easy and they turned out great! Cooked for 1:45 for runny yellows. So fast compared to waiting for water to boil on the stove.

EVERY time I've used this, the egg explodes before it reaches 30 seconds.....doesn't matter how I cook it....scrambled, poached, fried....it's the same every time....so it's in the box in the closet because I am tired of scrubbing the microwave

Apple crisp... in the MICROWAVE IN 3 MINUTES!
1 apple cored and cut in half- then slice and put 1/2 in each side
packet of instant oatmeal divided in each side
sprinkle with cinnamon, oatmeal and top with a tsp. of butter. microwave for about 3mins - delish!

Instructions say to wrap a papertowel around the cooker before you put it in the microwave. My first couple of eggs exploded but I haven't had that trouble in a while. I am cooking scrambled and making thin bagel sandwiches a couple of times a week.

I did put a paper towel around it.....I followed the directions to a tee....oh well....I'll try again one day

Since hubby only eats eggs once a week and I never eat them. I have been trying a different egg type each week. Today was the final variety- fried.
Hubby just ate them and said they were the best friend eggs he's ever had because they were fluffy. I have also been careful to tuck the paper towel under the egg cooker and make sure it covers the whole well area, so if there is an explosion during cooking- it's absorbed by the paper towel.
I think it's fabulous!

I used my Boil Over no more this morning over my egg cooker instead of a Papertowel (bit of a tree hugger, don't like using a lot of papertowels!) and it worked great. I heard my egg pop but didn't worry I was going to have a mess in the microwave!

Last night I spritzed 2 6" tortillas with olive oil spray, poked them with a fork and patted them down into the egg wells. Microwave on high - my micro is 3 minutes. Out come perfect single serving tortilla bowls ..... think butter/cinnamon and you have a perfect dessert shell

My local hospitality NED sent this to the group. I'm not sure who created it initially, probably someone on here, but I didn't see it in the files, so I hope you don't mind me sharing it.

NOTE: be sure to change the consultant contact details located in the document Footer and on the first page.

I am using my egg cooker tonight to cook my Acorn Squash. Cutting it in half- they fit perfectly in the wells of the EC!
I am cooking it in my oven (have to be careful in placing it though...smaller bottoms with my wide-slat racks. a small baking sheet might be needed)

Darn! I have acorn squash in the oven right now! I did not see your post until just now.Great idea! I will try it next time.

 

[DebPC]

Great idea! Bobbi!

Why does the Care and Maintenance say to only clean with Water? It indicates they don't suggest using Soap or Detergent? Seems like that is unsanitary considering the egg and butter or PAM Spray Residue left behind.

 

[raebates]

All stoneware suggests to clean with only water. Hot water will sanitize the stoneware just fine. That said, I tell people that if the thought of not using soap on your stoneware ooks you out, use a soapy cloth to wash it. Don't squirt soap directly on the stoneware, and don't let it sit in soapy water.

 

[baychef]

Rae's answer is spot on. You can also use baking soda and water paste. Pam should not be used on stones as it will clog the exchange of heat and moisture for proper cooking. I also use a "Dobie" pad to also help. In addition, soap and water clean debris. Heat or a chemical (most common is bleach) actually sanitize. But you don't want to use bleach on the stone.

 

[Brian]

Thanks. I am using Soap on a Foam Sponge to Wash in Hot Water and it seems to be working out fine. As far as Pam I am not sure I understand that since it is oil based just like butter which the manual indicates can be used or other substitutes. I primarily use my egg cooker to Fry my Eggs per say. I will try today without any oil and see if I have any sticking issues, If that works I wont use any oil to cook my eggs or soap to clean just hot water and towel.

 

[baychef]

Brian, you can use oil or butter, but it is the propellants in the can spray that makes the stone have a brown goo build up. The Oil Spritzer from Pampered Chef gives a spray without he propellants. I had a customer tell me she puts her stones in the dishwasher and never had a problem with soap taste. It does void the warranty and there is a chance the stone could hit another item and it could break. I don't repeat it to customers because I want them to know what Pampered Chef covers.

 

[Brian]

Thank You! I tried the Fried Egg Method with No Oil and they slid out easily so I will just forgo the Oil. I just rinse with a sponge and a lil dish soap and hot water and towel dry. I love the Egg Cooker and how the Whites get thoroughly cooked and the Yolks are still runny how I like them. 2 Eggs 50 Seconds in a 1100W Microwave. *;o)

 

[baychef]

Dish soap will leave a soap taste eventually. But that said...it works great! Congratulations on a successful egg!

I bought 2 egg cookers together, one is mine and 2nd are for my cousin. It gives the perfect boiled egg and even I poaches. It is very easy to use as mentioned by others. We will not have wait for switch off, it will be automatically shut off.By the way, I have taken it before reading few post from the site https://foodgear.org/best-egg-cooker-reviews/. If you like, you can simply check out. Forgot to maintain that I can make the boiled eggs in the short period of time and it saves my morning time. I really enjoy my morning time happily with this device.

Love it so far! Can't wait to come up with some additional uses. Here's another thread with discussion on this: http://www.chefsuccess.com/f8/microwave-egg-cooker-75250/

Can anyone tell me if you can cook broccoli in the egg cooker? Had a customer ask me, but I don't know.
