I use large or extra large ,personally. But, you can use any size in the "Henrietta".

We always use eggs rated "large" I did buy some eggs last week from a farmhouse - smaller chickens, small eggs, so I cut back the cooking time a little. The way to do this is to put in a little less water than usual. I like hard boiled eggs so I put water in to the top line (or ring). I believe this is per the directions, which I haven't read in a long time. It takes maybe 10 minutes to hard boil and it works great. It alsoo does well on softer cooked eggs. I love my little chicken.

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.....

Hi! We used it for quail eggs but chicken eggs would also fit. Great product - no problems whatsoever! Good luck !

I never pierced my eggs. Not sure how large extra large is but it probably will work. Id think the worst case would be to skip a slot and tilt very large ones, but I have never had to do that.No ostrich eggs tho, ok?

Yes, and jumbos as well, though they're a bit tight. My egg farm also has a size called Super Jumbo, and these strain the capacity of the container. I like it.

I'm still confused about the number of eggs. The question was: "How many eggs will this hold?". Nothing was asked about each side, so to me that meant 'total'. Some of you are posting '2' and then one person states '2 per side'. So, how many eggs will this hold? 2 or 4?

From what I know of the average size of the plastic eggs, no. They would be much larger :)

I use mine for two whites and one yolk. Sometimes I use it for two eggs . . . it works but it is a little tight when using larger eggs.

I just broke a Cherry Lane brand (sold in the northwest) jumbo egg into the cup and it fit fine with a slight amount of room available for an even larger egg. The stainless steel cups clean easily and no teflon breakdown to deal with over time. I use a thin spatula around the edges when necessary to loosen the white. Drop a bit of butter into the cup while it is heating the water, drop in the raw egg and it will distribute the butter around; then it usually slides out easily when cooked. Hope this helps.

2-3/4 inches, when we have large eggs they fit, even our duck eggs fit snugly... Hope that helps...

That's all I've used since I got the thing for Christmas. Just make sure you get the unit hot before pouring in the eggs, and don't go crazy with the amounts. Just use the equivalent of one egg. For Egg Beaters that's 1/4 cup.

I have used egg whites, just be sure not to use more than 1/4 cup and cook for the full 5 minutes.

The most I've used was 3 large eggs. I love this pan and use it often. I put lots of veggies in olive oil and sauté before adding my whipped eggs. Once semi-set I add cheese and avocado and fold the pan and let it steep on low for a minute. It's great with salsa on the side.

I cook 7 large eggs and it works well. I'm not sure about extra-large eggs but I am certain that you would have to cook fewer of them at a time.

Well, take your standard Egg Carton (12 eggs). The Unit is 10-eggs deep and about 1" less than 2 cartons wide.Fits very nicely in my Nissan Rogue glove box.

I could fit 17 eggs, but my younger hen turkey lays the equivalent to an ex large chicken egg.Hope this helps. Brenda
