Can you boil an egg in it?

I think you can! I have never personally done that but I think it could be done. I would be careful not to fill the pot w/ 2 much water since it is a small pan; just cover the egg with just enough water.

Yes. It will hold 3 large eggs with the shells on with a little room to spare. It doesn't work well for poached as the sides are too high.

Add a little bit of water to pan while it is heating and your egg will not stick. Good luck.

Of course. There are 2 egg cups, just use one and leave the other one empty.

That's up to you- but I've found if you don't, the whites may cook too fast. Adding a lid will give you more of a 'steaming' action and cook your eggs more evenly.

Yes you can. As long as you don't overflow the bottom chambers with the egg/milk liquid it should work fine. Mine come out great.

yes you can but if you did i'd put a couple of TBLSP of water in the side not being used. I use egg beaters that is premixed and always use both sides the extra omelette i put in the refig to eat the next day.

Yes, it would be great for boiling eggs. You could probably put 4 eggs in with no problem. Enjoy

No! I boil the egg in water and then place it in the cup. Microwaving the egg may cause an explosion of the egg in the microwave.

Put the eggs in the tray and use the same amount of water that you would for hard boiled eggs. 1 table spoon of water per egg. I like mine done better so I use 5 Table spoons of water for 4 poached eggs. Altitude is a factor. If you live at 5000 ft like I do, then it takes a little longer for the water to boil, thus lengthens the cooking time of the eggs. To compensate I just add one extra table spoon of water for the 4 eggs. Hope thia helps. Leon M.

Since most silicone can take heat up to 360 degrees the egg poachers should work okay in a toaster oven. They might need to be in a container with water though. Cooking them on the stove top is easy. Just boil about 1.5 inches of water in a pan big enough to hold the cups, brush oil on the insides before cracking in the egg, and gently place in the water. You'll have turned the burner down to near low. Poach them for 5 minutes. Nice variation for an egg breakfast.

I haven't used it but I don't know why you can't. The seal is perfect and not a bit of raw egg seeps through.

no, boil the water, turn it to simmer, gently drop the eggs, take them out at 3:55 minutes

Yes and add the amount of water indicated on the measuring cup depending in the hard or softness of the egg you want

You are suppose to boil the egg (usually soft boil). Then when ready, place the eggs into the cups. I have never tried to microwave them.

use a slotted spoon or a spyder. I suggest that you keep a bowl of ice water next to you when you want to remove the eggs from the pods. ( submerge your hand in the ice water for 15 to 30 seconds) this will enable you to use your hand the handle the eggs for a very brief time. you will feel no heat from the eggs. this will enable you to position the eggs the way you want them on the plate. I do this daily preparing poached eggs for breakfast guests at the Inn.

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.

Yes you can and they come out perfect as I don't like runny eggs either. I leave them in the pan a little over 3 min.
