Joie Kitchen Gadgets Egg Boiler, White, 7x7x10cm

This review is fir the JOIE single egg microwave boiler. Took some confidence to use the egg piercer but with that achieved, it's the best gadget I've bought in ages. A 3-minute prefect soft boiled egg with no fuss.

Works fairly well but gets very hot so watch your hands. Needs longer than instructions stipulate. Feet melted onto microwave plate so be careful.

Handy egg cooker for the microwave with no having to set timers and boiling a whole saucepan of water for one egg. If you prefer a harder egg, I would suggest using a medium sized egg as this size cooks perfectly, large eggs, from my own experience, only cook soft as the water is used up before they set harder. You could always refill the water and give it a few extra minutes, however. Looks cute sitting on top of the microwave.

It might just be me, but I found it difficult making a hole in the egg - and was too nervous to try it in the microwave , in case the hole was not deep enough (you have to pierce the yolk). If you are o.k. with that, it is well made

Only fits one egg,cooked for 5 minutes still soft and runny, it makes a mess in microwave as well

Bought this to replace an old one. Brilliant for boiling one egg

VERY GOOD PRODUCT

Like many other gadgets I've had recently the two plastic parts don't locate properly when you try to close them. This is almost universal nowadays with this type of cheaper plastic item.Not the main complaint however. It just didn't boil eggs further than soft and runny , including the whites. The instructions specified 3.5 minutes for medium eggs on 1000 watts. Ok I had large size eggs and 800watt microwave. So I set it to5 minutes : soft and runny including the whites.6 minutes : soft and runny including the whites.7 minutes : soft and runny including the whites.So it's obviously not going to boil a large egg properly on 800 Watt microwave. I won't waste any more eggs on this, as there is absolutely no improvement with increases in time.The manufacturer needs to specify better the capabilities of their product. A table of egg size v power v time would be useful. Also if it is no use on any less than 1000 watts say so.Update: I wrote the above but hadn't submitted it before I saw that another reviewer said to use hot water. So I retrieved the boiler from the bin. A further series of experiments resulted in the following findings for my large size eggs in my 800 watt microwave:1. Don't use eggs from the fridge -room temperature only.2. Use hot water. I use water from the boiling water tap.3. It takes much longer than 3.5 minutesI found at 6 minutes the yolk and white were runny7 minutes the egg was hard boiled6m 30s yolk was slightly runny white was solid.So many variables!! Is it worth the bother, and wastage of eggs?Since I managed to eventually get an eatable boiled egg. I added a star. I now give it 2*.

When I bought this little kitchen gadget a few weeks back, I was very apprehensive. Reviews here on Amazon made me worried about its safety. Then tonight, I wanted a boiled egg fast, and thought I'd give h Boiley a try. I filled up the water to the indicated line (not taking into account any displacement of fluid), poked a hole into the base of the egg and placed it upside down (hole facing up) into the boiler. I put my microwave on 3.5 minutes, walked away and despite all my apprehension, no problem occured. No explosion, the egg was intact. The egg, as I am eating it now, is perfectly soft-boiled.What I did notice, however, and this might be one of the problems people are experiencing, is that when you poke a hole into the egg, the shell tends to form a flap that can close on itself. For my second egg, I poked the hole a few times and the flap wasn't raised when I took the egg out. My only explanation for the apparent problem is, that in some cases the shell flaps back up and plugs the air hole, leading to a pressure buildup and explosion of the egg.Anyhow, I hope people can enjoy this wonderful gadget in peace and safety.

Erg kwetsbaar, sluit slecht

Funziona veramente bene per la cottura delle uova alla coque! L'albume si solidifica e il tuorlo rimane liquido/cremoso, perfetto.

Good for work. Make sure you leave it for ten minutes to cool down. As will burn your fingers on removal from microwave.

茹で卵が食べたくても、1〜2個のために鍋で茹でるのが面倒で我慢する事がありました。こちらは、1個の茹で卵が4〜5分で作れてとても良いです。2個購入したので、2個の茹で卵を作る時もあります。電子レンジで簡単に茹で卵が作れて、購入して良かったです。たまたまなのか、殻もスルッと綺麗に剥けます。1人暮らしの方にはかなりお勧めです！
