My eggs keep turning out too overcooked and rubbery on the edges, and raw and uncooked in the middle. Even on lower power. Suggestions?

Wow, I'm far from a cooking expert. Only thing I'll suggest is if you're not already using a cooking spray (i.e. PAM,Crisco or Smart Balance) try that with just a 10 second reduction on time you're MWaving them.

Ignore parts of the instructions you received. Start with three lightly beaten eggs with fairly equal portions on each side. Microwave with the omelet maker open (I go with full power) for one minute. The eggs will not be fully cooked at this point, but they don't have to be. If you like chopped veggies in your omelet, sprinkle them over the top of the eggs and microwave for 90 seconds. I also add salt and/or pepper before I begin the second step. If you like cheese on your omelet, sprinkle it on top for the final step, close the omelet maker by folding the two sides over, and then microwave another 30 seconds. No microwave is the same, so you may have to adjust the time just a little. For example, if you don't add veggies, I would cook the eggs in the second step for one minute, not 90 seconds, before adding cheese for the final step. Get all of the steps right by experimenting on the time and the ingredients, and you should be able to make the perfect omelet. My wife and I love this thing!

What I used to do is increase my cooking time, and add more milk. I hope this helps.Thanks Ken

A bit painstaking, but this works for me: cook eggs on hi 1:30 sec., then keep lid closed for 30 sec. (no power) to "steam" eggs. Put in the filling and cook on hi 1 min. uncovered, then close lid (no power) and "steam" for 30 sec. This usually turns the eggs out fine, but if they're still runny cook on hi only 10 sec. at a time till done. Fillings like broccoli may take longer.

I didn't have much leaking. My issue was getting the egg cooked thru without burning the bottom, but I think a lid on the pan for a couple of mins. would fix that.

I scramble the eggs all the time. Just make sure the pan or griddle is hot and set the rings on the pan to heat up a bit before pouring in the eggs. Let the eggs get pretty well set up before removing the rings and flip carefully with a spatula. I made 18 eggs over the weekend for breakfast sandwiches for the freezer using an electric griddle and 8 egg rings. Had maybe 3 leak badly. Don't use too high of heat, I keep my griddle at about 225-250° F.

Hi Sylvia: Did you fill the water in the provided measuring cup to the second line? That is for Medium I think. You probably could also add a little more water to cook the egg more but check with the manufacturer before doing that. I hope this helps.

I stacked them in a drawer w/ the egg rings. The recipe for these is runny. There are stiffer recipes that hold their shape. Pack them any way you like. I don't remember a box, there might have been. Try the new cake-in-a-mug that takes one minute in the microwave.

First of all, how are you preparing the eggs? Are they fried, scrambled, or what? Secondly, did you use any sort of cooking spray or oil to coat the pan first? Tell me a little more specifically about what's happening in the cooking process, and I may be able to help you figure out the problem. It may be that the pan is too hot or not hot enough. I'm a chef and have seen a lot of sticky eggs in my day. The more details you can describe about what's going on, the easier it'll be to troubleshoot & determine the source of the problem. :)

Mine does that too, although just a bit of run off and not all over the place. I just crack the egg into the ring and make sure to apply light pressure to the ring for a few seconds, seems form a seal and solve the problem.

This was a gift for someone else, but I have an egg cooker and find that the water level for Hard means the eggs will hard boil. You may need to experiment with it. If you want soft, go with the lowest water level, if that doesn't cook long enough add a bit more water. I have three water lines on my cup and I fill it to which ever I want to eggs to cook. Most of the time, the eggs come out the way I want them too. Sorry if this doesn't help.

I microwave the egg for 5 min. After cooling down, mine turns blue. Could be the sensor on the holder is bad. By the way, I dropped one of my egg and shattered it - millions and millions of small beads scattered all over the room (don't drop it)

I have a small pan like this, so I have a solution. I put the egg in the pan, cook until it needs to be flipped, and I turn it over into another frying pan that has been heated and the shape is still round, and I don't have to struggle with the flipping, and trying to keep the yolk from running. It takes 2 pans, but it is worth it.

I cook my eggs in automatic mode. I add a slight bit more water and in automatic mode it buzzes when egg is ready. Hardly noticeable in time. Maybe 30 seconds longer.

Yes, I have made it with Ener-G Egg Replacer. I just used a little club soda in the batter to give it a little lift, so it wouldn't be so dense.

I have some trouble when cooking just 1 or 2 eggs with the shells exploding, even though I pierced a hole in the top. Seems to work better for me when I do at least 4 eggs in there when hard-boiling.

I have not had that problem. I use my cooker several times a week to poach eggs. Eggs are cooked to perfection each and every time.

It may not be working right. My egg cooker doesn't work anymore. Just the toaster side. And it doesn't work that great anymore either

In my experience, the raw egg would probably run out underneath the ring somewhere and all over your pan at least 50% of the time. They just don't make a great seal, and then the edges take quite a while to harden enough to take off the rings and flip it over. I have found the metal rings to be much better-- you can make them good and hot before you put the eggs in so they don't leak nearly as much, and the eggs cook much more quickly, too.

I have the exact same problem!! If I could return it I would. Not sure if I should throw it away or try cooking them twice? How long have you had yours?
