Can this microwave egg poacher produce hard boiled eggs? I don't like poached eggs.

This poacher sits in boiling water on the stove...I'm not sure about using it in the microwave. Cuisinart has a great hard boiled egg maker...I have one and it's awesome, quick and easy!

Sure! Just cook the eggs longer to make sure the centers get cooked and it's an easy way to have hard boiled eggs.

Fill bottom to water line with water, insert metal egg holder, add eggs, put in microwave on high power for 4-5 minutes for soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard boiled eggs.

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)

Hi Lonnie, I never tried for medium boiled egga with this machine. But as per the directions given on this machine, depending on the water you use- the eggs are boiled accordingly. :)

You should only use in a pan on top of a cook top. The do sell covered microwave pans to cook eggs in. When using a micro wave the egg becomes more of a scrambled egg rather than an over easy type of egg with a soft yoke. Hope this helps.

No - just add your beaten eggs and whatever else you want in it. It is fabulous.

Not at all! This is my biggest complaint about this awesome cooker. I bring my egg in a separate container if I bring to work.

Yes in my opinion it makes good poached eggs.you just need to put the right amount of water. Use the measuring cup that the unit comes with if you want one egg fill the cup to soft and two eggs to medium.

Same experience here. Pan peeling, leaves metal residue on egg even after I've cleaned it thoroughly, now poached egg function is useless. Am hoping to replace.

No. This is a bit different than the poached egg maker.But it's a breeze to make a great omelet. I just love my omelet maker. I can't remember when I've had such a delicious omelet.Instructions: Break 3 eggs into a bowl, season to taste, add 2 TB of water and whip well.Divide evenly between the two halves and cook 1 1/2 min. on high. Add you filling, if any.(I use veggie bacon and shredded cheese.) Cook 1 min., close the lid and cook 30 seconds more.In about 3 minutes I have a delicious omelet with no fuss. And cleanup couldn't be easier.

Depends on the microwave. If it is "strong", 40 sec for two poached eggs. I have another weaker one where it needs at least 60 seconds. (Full power)

I haven't tried. But one of the reviewers here said it does. Click on the Amazon page for this product: http://www.amazon.com/Prepworks-Progressive-International-GMMC-70-Microwavable/dp/B0000CFPPD/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t Scroll down to customer reviews, and read the first one: by The Ryan Abrams January 22, 2009. Summed up he said he uses eggbeaters, and the omelet maker is actually why he can make eggs the way he wants every morning.

I started out with supermarket "large" eggs. I had to bring the water up to the highest level to get hard boiled. I buy pastured farm eggs now. We mainly got it for poached eggs for my husband, and he doesn't really eat them anymore. Sadly, Henrietta has not been used in quite a while. I am keeping her though, because I think she does a good job, and hubby may go back to poached eggs one day.....

the included instructions do not provide directions for poaching! I made a hard boiled poached egg this way: i cracked an egg into the little plastic bowl ( provided), set it on top of the egg rack used for steaming in the shell, added water to the "hard" line level on the fill cup, and turned it on. Came out fine. Ive never had a poached egg before, so i assume it was good, lol. i dont know if you should take out the steamer tray or not - i didnt.

Lisa, I do not care for poached eggs, but just for a "lesson learned", gonna try poaching one egg using the 12 teaspoons as you suggested. If I goof, well I'll just finish it off in a skillet & make an egg sandwich. What is that saying? "Experience is what we get when we were expecting something else. Thank goodness for simple things in life. Stella

Mitchell...you can do three poached eggs at a time. You'll love this machine...I use it a couple times a week for poached, soft and hard boiled eggs. You'll play with a time or two and when you get it the way you want it your eggs will be perfect every time.
