Do the eggs stay closed together, i.e. snap together &amp; stay together, or does the lid egg top just "rest" on the base of the egg? Thanks!

They just rest on, it actually makes it easier for babies and toddlers to use. The eggs and their tops stay nice and neat in their case with the lid closed no matter how it is turned or toppled.

Yes they do have a hole in them. And not hinged at all. I'm a "lucky" owner of 100ct red eggs now. No assorted hinged eggs in 5 different colors as described!

The lid when closed does not make a snap sound. Be sure to check that it fits snugly on top of the lower half and that the plastic ring washer is on the underside of the metal egg holder. If your whites are cooked yet yolks are still soft then try a higher time set since in your case altitude may affect cooking times. If that cover does not fit down firmly on the bottom half then you may have a defective item. Also check both halves for possible cracks. I use mine often and have had great results each time I use it.

The eggs come out and have shapes on them that correspond to the bottom of the crate. The tops come off the eggs and the color part presses and makes the 'chirping' sound. The color part does not come out of the eggs. It is good because it makes it easier to keep up with all the pieces. I have kids and grandkids who love this item!

The lid just sits on top and does not attach. It is heavy enough to stay in place. There is a little venting of oil/steam that comes out of the small vent on the lid and very little from the butter melting area. We do not use the butter melting option so I'm not sure what happens when you do.

This is an issue. We use a fork and place it through the slots in the cup handle. This can be accomplished without the egg sliding out unto the floor.

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.

If it comes apart, I haven't figured it out. I carefully inspected mine after two eggs. I didn't detect any food residue whatsoever, fwiw. Proceed accordingly.

I purchased this item as a present. I asked them the question and this is their reply. Lid and handle do get quite warm and best to use mitt. If you want more then 2 eggs after first 2 are done while water still hot do second batch it takes little time. eggs are always perfect.

Yes, the lid stays up as the hinges are very firm and well attached to the case. And it really looks very classy when you set it out for company. It also seals very firm. I've noticed some people said they had trouble flipping up the closure hinge, but that's good to keep the tea fresh. This is one of my five favorite things I've bought off of Amazon.

The lids do not "snap" closed. The Food Saver machine will suck the air out of the unit and seal it tight. Use the "Accessories" setting on the Food Saver.

They do stay open, but are a little top-heavy when the box is empty. I have to add that these are one of the most handy and universal containers I have ever bought.

No, the yellow lid does not snap into place. It not even a challenge to take off. It's the first thing my baby takes off. I have to hold the yellow top down to just show her the other way to use the toy. If it just gave a little resistance to pull if then it would be more of a challenge.

If you are talking about the orange rubber cap on the top of the lid - I put it on when I got it and have never removed it. I thought it was for ease of handling or opening the lid when it's hot..? I use my egg cooker at least 4 times a week and it works fine with the cap on!

I have never had that happen before. I have owned two of the same ones and love it... The only way I would think that would happen if you do not put the exact amount of water depending on how you want your eggs cooked. Hope this helps

It does not snap, it only rests on top! Personally, I like it that way because my 6 month old has no problems with getting the lid off but you do have to be extra careful when cleaning up or transporting it around!!

I've found that if you put the lid on the pan during cooking, at low/medium heat, it's not necessary to flip them. The egg might be very slightly less done on the top, but they still come out firm with liquid to soft yolks.
