Fred, check out the Stone Wave here on Amazon. My husband uses it a few times a week. He uses it for steamed eggs and makes scrambles for me. Stone Wave Micro Cooker

I haven't tried microwaving but these work very well in a covered pan of slow boiling water. Spray them inside with a non stick spay and let cook 5 minutes.

I microwave the "egg" for 4 min in my 1500W oven. The "egg" is cooked in the oven to get the moisture out. Cooking time is not too critical, of course you don't want to overdo it.

Hi Ellen. Crack the egg and put the egg in raw. The instructions say to poke it with a fork before putting it in the microwave and cooking it. I think the purpose is to prevent the egg from 'exploding' After each use, my wife and I just wipe out the cup with a paper towel and it's ready to cook another perfect 'boiled' egg.

Ignore parts of the instructions you received. Start with three lightly beaten eggs with fairly equal portions on each side. Microwave with the omelet maker open (I go with full power) for one minute. The eggs will not be fully cooked at this point, but they don't have to be. If you like chopped veggies in your omelet, sprinkle them over the top of the eggs and microwave for 90 seconds. I also add salt and/or pepper before I begin the second step. If you like cheese on your omelet, sprinkle it on top for the final step, close the omelet maker by folding the two sides over, and then microwave another 30 seconds. No microwave is the same, so you may have to adjust the time just a little. For example, if you don't add veggies, I would cook the eggs in the second step for one minute, not 90 seconds, before adding cheese for the final step. Get all of the steps right by experimenting on the time and the ingredients, and you should be able to make the perfect omelet. My wife and I love this thing!

Same experience here. Pan peeling, leaves metal residue on egg even after I've cleaned it thoroughly, now poached egg function is useless. Am hoping to replace.

I hadn't considered microwaving them. I would think that since there is some foil in their content, I would say it's not a good idea to microwave them. The bags are terrific, though. I use them every year for an annual cookout that I host. After putting the hotdogs in the buns and then in the bags, I put them into a huge covered steamer pan to keep the dogs warm and the buns soft. They are always a big hit.

I would only use the microwave to heat the water to a boil. Then (with the microwave off) place the lightly greased poachers with the eggs atop the water and cover for 5 minutes. Just the same as on the stove except you heat the water in the microwave. The hot water is the cooking agent for this perfect poached egg. Enjoy!

I add maybe inch of water heat until just boiling. Then place egg cups into ring add one egg to each cup cover and poach eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. I prefer 4 minutes. Remove eggs from cup and enjoy.

I have used egg whites, just be sure not to use more than 1/4 cup and cook for the full 5 minutes.

Mine didn't have instructions either. I just broke two eggs into the poacher dish. I used the "medium" water level and they came out very well.

Lisa, I do not care for poached eggs, but just for a "lesson learned", gonna try poaching one egg using the 12 teaspoons as you suggested. If I goof, well I'll just finish it off in a skillet & make an egg sandwich. What is that saying? "Experience is what we get when we were expecting something else. Thank goodness for simple things in life. Stella

Hello Joan,I am interested in learning more about microwaving and the production of AGEs. Could you please post any links to any scholarly or other articles that reference this topic?Much appreciated,JT

Far as I know, the egg should be soft boiled in water, and then placed & eaten in the egg cup. Microwaving an egg would cook it from the inside out, so not good to cook any eggs.

I haven't tried. But one of the reviewers here said it does.Click on the Amazon page for this product: Prep Solutions by Progressive Microwavable Omelet MakerScroll down to customer reviews, and read the first one: by The Ryan Abrams January 22, 2009. Summed up he said he uses eggbeaters, and the omelet maker is actually why he can make eggs the way he wants every morning.

Pour eggs equally in both sides, with anything else you want to add, partially cook in microwave, then close or "flip" to finish cooking. Perfect every time.

I like it......more for a sandwich. Easy......stir with salsa and cook and a little butter. Less than a minute. Experiment with it. I sent one to my sister and she makes a poached egg.

I microwave the egg for 5 min. After cooling down, mine turns blue. Could be the sensor on the holder is bad. By the way, I dropped one of my egg and shattered it - millions and millions of small beads scattered all over the room (don't drop it)
