Does cooking time vary with fewer eggs (for example, just 1)?

Mine doesn't vary with the number of eggs; one to four, they all cook the same in the same amount of time.

it probably does. you would have to experiment. since 5 egss takes about 8 min you might try 2 min for 1 and then check for doneness. you can always adjust time depending on your type of microwave. the nordic holds 4 (i stack 1 on top) making it 5 egss being cooked. i really enjoy mine. good luck.

Depending on the number of eggs, yes. After 2-3 it starts getting too hot to handle without a holder.

One thing to note: if you're going to be adding something to the egg (I sometimes add veggies or salsa), make sure the add-in is warm or room-temp first, otherwise it will severely slow the cooking of the egg.

That's all I've used since I got the thing for Christmas. Just make sure you get the unit hot before pouring in the eggs, and don't go crazy with the amounts. Just use the equivalent of one egg. For Egg Beaters that's 1/4 cup.

I cook my eggs in automatic mode. I add a slight bit more water and in automatic mode it buzzes when egg is ready. Hardly noticeable in time. Maybe 30 seconds longer.

I agree with Grub. Consider this, only enough water is required to last through the cooking process, which is only minutes. It is the steam that cooks, not the water. Note that the water can splash up into the cups if not all cups are in place. I have found that my best results come when all cups are in place and contain an egg.

The minimum I cook is one cup, and there is never any problem. I don't think it would be worth cooking less. It has never boiled and bubbled to the top

There is no limit of cooking time. It does have some electronic issues. I sent one back and thought the second went out too but it come back on. Keeping my fingers crossed!

The only thing that I can remember regarding instructions is that the egg cooker can hold one or two eggs. I do not remember any cooking instructions coming with the unit. For well cooked eggs, try one minute. For less cooked, try 20 to 30 seconds.

I just used whatever eggs were in the fridge ... and it worked fine. So I guess "size does not matter" :)

I don't think you would be able to properly cook 2 eggs at one time unless you were scrambling them. One egg takes up the whole pan.

Yes, but however many minutes you cooked with before, you might need to cut back the time accordingly.

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

For 4 eggs about 1and a half minutes, of course depending on size of eggs and how many you put in and how soft or hard you want it, you just have to play around with it a bit to find out which is best for you.

Hi Carmen, I'm not sure about 1 cup. I have a large family so I always cook a larger quantity and like having leftovers for lunch the next day. The more you cook the longer it takes. I see someone else says 20 minutes for 1 cup. I would guess that would be correct. We put the rice on first and then begin the rest of the meal. Bon appetite!!

I didn't note timing exactly - but maybe a couple of minutes. It was pretty quick. We had an egg cooker that was 40 years old and it usually took at least 5-10 minutes for it to cook the eggs. But the new one did it very quickly - probably why it didn't the eggs all through the first time. I have used it again and if I put in extra water it will cook all the eggs at once.

No. It's best to leave the eggs at room temperature for 1 hr before cooking, that way they don't crack.
