I have never had that happen. If they cracked when you were peircing them, try using a twisting motion. If they cracked after you put them in, was the unit already hot? I put me eggs in cold. I may be guilty of not reading the directions, because I've had other egg cookers.

Mine has worked wonderfully. But, the secret to not cracking the eggs is when you put the egg on the pin hole point. make sure you use the small end of the egg, and don't apply much pressure, I still crack at least one.

Place the pointy end up in the booker after piercing seems to help a lot, still get a cracked one occasionally:)

Did you pierce the eggs thoroughly? Did you let the eggs warm a bit from being in the fridge before cooking? Those are the only two things I can think of. Sorry...

Sorry to say I have no idea. I've used it only twice - and the eggs came out 'ok'

I have a few eggs that crack once in a while. I think this is from hairline cracks we cannot see in the eggs before hand. My machine works beautifully. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I read and followed the instructions. I tried them a second time with the same results. I sent a complaint but did not receive an answer.

I had similar problem but it was because I didn't refer back to the instructions and got the tension knob & the locking knob mixed up. Boy did I feel stupid! I guess "when all else fails, read the instructions" is not as stupid as it sounds. I hope that is not your problem but it is a thought.

Gary, this product did not work for me or my wife, and we followed all the directions.

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.

I also fractured mine as well, I do not have an answer on what to do. Mine did not work well enough to invest a lot of money to repair it. If you find out let me know.

Sorry, I have the same issue and didn't know what to do, so I glued the one cup that had cracked at the top seam...which kept the liquid out of the inside gap...other than that, they keep things hot longer, so I keep it with the cracks and all.

True. You may in fact have just gotten a rotten egg. I've had that happen before with my Xbox 360.

Mine didn't really work either...I was disappointed. It's probably flour or something.

instead of eggs I used "flax eggs". I mixed 2 tablespoons of ground flax with 6 tablespoons of water and let sit for about 5-7 minutes to thicken up. I then followed the instructions on the package. this was in the reviews.

Sorry, I followed the instruction that came with the unit. Beyond that I can't help you.

I actually put water to just below the cups. And that seems to do the trick. I agree the directions are a bit vague, but honestly I think as long as you have water in there your fine. Make sure it has started to boil before putting the tray in with the eggs. Took me a while to get the perfect egg, but I had never made them before so it was a bit of a learning curve, but now they come out perfect. Hope this helps.

Mine cracked, but it was my own fault. I poored cold water into it after it was heated up too long :-(

What broke? The process should be in the booklet you got. I can't find mine at the moment.

I used butter and flour and it came out. Some little end here and there I had to repair with buttercrem, which went over almost everything anyway. I hope, this helps
