I want to buy this as a christmas gift, but Im unsure how this all works. Are the eggs dehydrated or should I wait until spring to order?

You can also raise them in your house feeding them fruit flies at first and then flies and crickets later. I keep 20 to 30 in each screen cage. If they run out of food or just want something a little different they will eat each other. I separate the cannibals or feed them to the chameleons.

They are not dehydrated. They do hatch. If you live in a cold place and buying this for someone to watch hatch then the babies will not have anyplace to be put. If you live in a warm place then after they hatch you can put them outside.

The eggs came in a case or pod that is very strong. Only one of mine actually hatched. I do home daycare in Illinois and ours hatched in the end of July, about a month after I ordered them.

Nope, just temperature and that sensor failed on me as soon as it was out of warantee cooking the eggs, another one only cooled, wouldn't heat - manufacturer and warantee company wouldn't even allow me to get a replacement sensor if I paid for it. If you get an incubator go here to buy a temp alarm. I would never buy exo terra, it's asking for trouble.

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)

Even if i was available, I recommend you not purchase thi egg cooker. We had it for about six months and it started leaking plus it never really cooked the eggs very well. Hope this is helpful.

Brenna was right on with the reply. I would spray the pan with some cooking spray first and let the pan warm up, because if you are putting the eggs in a cold pan that could be a problem.

As I have had powdered eggs before I would say your lacking water. I'm not saying this is the absolute answer but sometime the directions need to be modified. I have three jars of this product and will no doubt have to deviate from the directions when the time comes.

If you look closely there is a fill line in the bottom of the egg. You have to experiment with power setting and cooking time. I found cooking to fast they sometimes crack. I have a big microwave and set to power 7 for 11 minutes and I get perfect eggs every time. Oh... and I always start with cold water.

I have no experience with this product. I purchased it as gift and the recipient said it did not come with eggs. I recommend you connect with the seller. Best wishes.

They don't state where they get their ingredients on the container. They are out if Oceanside Ca and, from what I understand are very responsive to customer inquiries if emailed. Interesting question I am going to email them myself. I also read they use Carageen(sp?). I am definitely emailing them!*******UPDATE*** their customer service representative Josh responded. All ingredients are from the mid west. INCLUDING the eggs.

Add a little bit of water to pan while it is heating and your egg will not stick. Good luck.

Hello Susan... I was just eating an egg made from the unit in question for lunch; it was a perfect hardboiled egg. The user needs to be careful right after the unit has shut off. The temperatures exceed 200 degrees and can scald one if not careful. If you let the appliance stand for a while after finishing the temperatures becomes very manageable. The handle on the unit which holds the eggs is small. My suggestion to you, when using this appliance by an elderly person, is to place a bowl of cold water right next to the unit so that when the eggs are finished the rack can be lifted and placed in the water. This will allow the eggs to cool quickly and be easier to remove the shells. And secondly, allow for the bowl to be used to move the eggs around easily alleviating the need to worry about the small handles on the rack. The heating element base area tends to discolor due to minerals in the water. I pour very hot water in the unit and let it stand for a short time when cleaning it. I then pour out the water and scour the deposits with an abrasive sponge. The stain comes off very easily this way. I just thought I'd pass along this little tidbit of information. Also, when punching a hole in the egg to let out excessive steam so they do not explode do this to the larger side of the egg. Instructions call for the smaller side, but the other side works better. Lastly, add two lines more water to the unit (to what the instructions call for) for 7 hard boiled eggs.The system seems to need a little extra time steaming for perfect eggs... and they do come out perfect. I hope I have been helpful to you.

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.

Not to bad. I don't just push strainght down on it. I twist the egg while applying pressure. So far so good, I haven't broken any. According to the directions you puncture the fat end of the egg. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to peel the eggs. If you haven't gotten one yet I highly recommend getting one. I'm going to get the kids each one for Xmas this year.

I looked on my can and there isn't one no shelf life is mentioned either! But my guess is unopened 20yrsBecause the eggs are powdered and pasteurized. I haven't done a taste test yet and I live in Florida so it's part of my hurricane emergency food supply. I hope this helped.

Horrible. Take an egg leave it outside in the sun for 3 days than hide it indoors. There you have the smell in a single vile. That last about as long too.

Yes, you boil the egg first and peel them while they are still hot, place them in the mold, snap it closed then put the whole thing in ice water to chill. Hope this helps

The plate did get scorched and doesn't clean. I noticed it happened to one my aunt had as well. As long as my eggs are good, I'm okay with it.
