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!

The directions said 30 seconds per egg. Such as 1 minute for two. I totally love this pouched egg maker. I use it more than the one i used to use to boil them.Keep in mind it depends on your microwave as well.I hope this helps.Bon appe'tit

Melanie...I can't locate just now, the 4-egg one that I bought in order to retrieve the model number. I DO, however, have a link for Progressive International that you can use to download a PDF file on the use/care of the 2-egg version that I bought as well. It is as follows: http://progressiveintl.com/pdf/gmmc71_eggpoacher_uc_english.pdfYou can also access their product website at: http://progressiveintl.com/

I only do 2 at a time ...but I like my yolks runny. Any more than that and they are too firm. I also remove some of the whites to help to keep them from over cooking or getting too runny

I once read a suggestion that works: rub some vegetable oil (any kind will do, I assume) into the cold pan, and then add some Kosher salt and rub that into pan. Wipe dry. When you're ready to use, warm it a little, add a little more oil, and add the food for cooking.. It was suggested to me that I not wash the pan after, but just wipe it clean (sort of like cast iron treatments), but I have cleaned it and then repeated the oil and salt as needed. It works pretty nicely. By the way, if you get any stains on it, I have found that Barkeeper's Friend works miracles!

Place the eggs in the cups after you have lightly buttered each cup. Add about 1/2 water to a 10" fry pan that you have a lid for. Burner on med. high bring to a boil, add Norpro Poacher to the pan, cover and cook for about 3 min. Do not let the water boil to supper bubbly. Check eggs for doneness, yolk should be still soft and whites cooked. Will take practice to learn cooking time as each stove is different with heat controls. Add to a toasted English muffin with very thin deli turkey and ham slices, top with egg and lemony hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict, yummy. I also allow my eggs to become close to room temp before using. Hope this helps. Takes Practice. Place the eggs in the cups after you have lightly buttered each cup.

Just boiling it is useless. Mix with other grains, pre-cook it up to 15 mins, chill, add spices, eggs, form burgers, then lightly fry. You'll never forget this!!!

Try line 6 on the soft boiled side of the measuring cup. If the yolks are to done try a little less water next time.

Do crack it open. I never bother to pierce the yolk and have never had a problem. For a large egg right out of the refrigerator I usually give it about 30 seconds in a 1000 watt microwave. Sometimes I need to break the yolk at that point, stir slightly and pop it back in for another 8-10 seconds. I like a nice runny egg yolk but no white goo. Clean up is incredibly easy. You can't beat it for a super fast high protein breakfast.

From both of those failed attempts sound like you are cooking them too long. Adjust your cooking time down by half and then add 30 sec to a min until they come out the way you like them. Also, you need to remember they will continue cooking for a min or two after you remove them from the microwave. You are adding some water, aren't you?

Isn't this the most wonderful dessert? "Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes." I have doubled the recipe and cooked it for 4 minutes, stirred and cooked for 4 minutes. It worked just fine. THANK YOU for asking this question. I have one more old box and had not read the new box. I will now cut the back off the old box and save it! Callie

I don't have it, but here is my Grandmother's recipe -- she was born in about 1890 I think as my Mom is 97 years old now and she was the baby of the family. Here goes -- one egg, half an eggshell of cold water, a pinch of salt, and enough flour until the dough is stretchy. It works fantastically!

I have tried to make my eggs sunny side up with my cooker, but yolk becomes hard before white is done. If you like runny yolks, you'll have to cook less than 35 seconds on high, but white will also be runny.

Same thing happened to me. I was thinking I may have moved the ring slightly before the egg was cooked enough to be set. Also I washed carefully when through and now they keep getting a white powdery appearance on about half of the surfaces (inside and out)

I find that I get my best results if I remove them almost immediately and put them in cold water, to prevent overcooking. Of course you have to be very careful as the eggs and cooker are hot! I have tried leaving them in the cooker till almost cool (not sure how long that took) but they seem to end up overcooked.

Mine cooked right. I had to learn how to take them out of the pan and how full to fill them. That information is in the instructions too.
