Can you whip 8 egg whites till stiff peak is formed? And any difficulty is squeezing down the on button while whisking for that duration?

-I've tried up to 6 egg whites; and it stiffened fairy quickly and perfectly in circa 3-4 min. -You may not call it as ''difficulty'', but the tool is quite heavy and I, a 30+ysold female, get my arm tired after holding it in the air for a while (i.e. not letting the blade-frame lean/rest on the bowl's edge/wall). I wouldn't gift this particular whipper to my grandmother.

I haven't tried to do that yet, but I'm not sure how it would work out. I think the yolk would probably explode rather than 'set'. But, I have made Egg McMuffin style sandwiches with it using English muffins and it does that really well.

Although I have not done it I feel it would work to do egg whites... It is amazing for heavy cream.... I would say yes..

Yes. You have to keep it moving or it will burn. They whole process is less than 10 minutes. It's super easy. But when the popping gets about mid way (you'll feel resistance) don't push it.

Hi Jillian, sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have tried it, and Yes it does work, but it's a bit tricky to support the egg properly as you crack it. I found I got better results holding the egg in my hand than in an egg cup. You may not want to pull the plunger all the way up; depends on the thickness of the shell I guess. The edge is not perfectly smooth, but it is much better than an edge made with one of the "toothy" tools. It's a little messy and a little more difficult to retrieve the "lid" from within bell of the cracker since there is no cooked egg attached.Best,Bill TaylorSherman Oaks, CA Hi Jillian, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

It should be realtively easy. You may have to pull and shake it a little while pulling. The first few times were also a little difficult for me.

My review was for these spring loaded whisks in general as some users were having problems getting their liquids to froth and also rusting in the dishwasher. I'm not sure which brand I bought but mine came with two whisks of different diameter wire heads. As you can see there are many different brands of these whisks available on Amazon and elsewhere. Mine measure 12 inches from end to end in the relaxed position and 8.25 inches end to end in the compressed position. Hope this helps.

No. You use the Combo Whip. The dough hook to long. Hope this is helpful. J. Ganus

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.

I have only ever made 4 eggs at once. I always use jumbo eggs. This is what I do. Put 1/2 tsp. of water into each egg cup. Then crack the egg and center the yolk into the cup. Put another 1/2 tsp. of water on top of the eggs. Then poke the whites and the yolk of each egg several times with a sharp knife. Cover and cook on a medium to medium high setting. For my microwave, I use power level 7. Set the timer for 2 minutes because it is 30 seconds per egg. Then leave the container in the microwave or on your counter without removing the lid for at least 1 - 2 more minutes. When I remove my cover, my eggs are perfect. Remove the eggs carefully. This is the biggest challenge when cooking 4 eggs. Adjust this method accordingly to your microwave, size of your eggs, and how many you are cooking. Remember, 30 seconds per egg. This should do it. Good luck!

I have used it to whip egg whites to a soft peak, so I would certainly think so.

first, only use 3 eggs. Do not overfill. Turn it on, close lid and wait for it to finish. simple.

It depends how firm you want the yolks. Make sre you keep the lid on util the whites are firmly cooked.Buttering the egg cups will make serving the eggs easier. Hope this helped.

The instructions offered by D.W. are very good! I also use a little butter in each cup so the eggs don't stick (even though this poacher has a nonstick coating) and I use a little silicone spatula to remove each egg from the cup so as not to scratch the nonstick coating. To test if the eggs are cooked, I jiggle the middle knob. By experience I can tell if the whites are cooked or still raw by how much the eggs jiggle in the cup. The four slots around the perimeter of the poacher are helpful for removing the poacher from the pan. Insert the tines of a fork into the slot and lift the poacher that way. The middle knob gets very hot and will burn bare fingers; use suitable protection. The instructions offered by D.W. are very good!

The plates click in and out easily. I find a medium waffle takes about 8 minutes for the first one and 6 after that.

After reading the answers below from other customers, I must make a rebuttal. While it is true that this mixer sounds slow, it whips cream in 60 seconds flat, whereas any other mixer I have had takes 5 - 8 minutes of beating to get whipped cream into peaks. It also handles cookie dough, cake dough, etc. It is by far the best hand mixer I have ever had. I am 72 and have had quite a few of them through the years.
