If you use large eggs do you have to increase cooking time?

U use fresh eggs that are sometimes huge and put the water amt they say for how many I cook and there has never been a problem. Luv the egg cooker.....

No. I have used both large and smaller ones. The large just barely touching and they cooked just fine.

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.

NO. But you can cook a large roast or whole chicken with excellent results. I just did this last Christmas. Took about 4.5 hrs for a large roasting hen.

It depends upon whether or not you have other things mixed in with the shells. All alone the egg shells are just smashed and broken into pieces that are still held together by the shell lining.If you have fruit peels, and apple cores, etc. they will help the egg shells stay a little longer and smoosh up a bit more. Nothing larger than ½ inch by ¼ inch for the most part and many pieces smaller.

Hi. I have never overshot the cooking time. There is also a "1 minute" button that I use more often. So if I need 4 minutes, I just press that button 4 times. I almost never use the knob actually.

No. Also, I don't recommend this one unless you are ok adding a lot of oil to keep the egg from sticking. I ended up purchasing a larger, better pan that does the job as expected.

No - just add your beaten eggs and whatever else you want in it. It is fabulous.

yes, I always buy extra large or jumbo eggs and there is plenty of room but I use a little less water because they do sit lower in the water and I don't like water in with eggs, just make sure they don't touch the bottom of the pan.

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.

The answer is yes and no. You have to heat them up before you put your food on for it to be non-stick. if it isnt hot enough and you put your food on, it will stick. This is especially true with meat. Personally, i never cook eggs on these pans

From my experiences, 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs I am boiling.

I use jumbo, and extra large eggs, and it works just fine. Just remember to kind of hold on to the egg with your other hand...flying soft boiled eggs can be dangerous..

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.

I would say yes. The amount of water determines how long the eggs cook. The number of eggs doesn't enter into the equation.

I have done two large eggs, and there was plenty of room. I would just try it with extra large eggs, and see how it turns out.

We always use eggs rated "large" I did buy some eggs last week from a farmhouse - smaller chickens, small eggs, so I cut back the cooking time a little. The way to do this is to put in a little less water than usual. I like hard boiled eggs so I put water in to the top line (or ring). I believe this is per the directions, which I haven't read in a long time. It takes maybe 10 minutes to hard boil and it works great. It alsoo does well on softer cooked eggs. I love my little chicken.
