Can you boil eggs with this?

Once the water boils, the beating element shuts off. You could cook eggs by leaving them in the hot water.

No, it's just for water, when the water starts to boil it shuts off so your eggs won't be cooked, it's a kettle not a pot

Although I have never tried to boil eggs in it, I think it isossible to do so. Eggs will fit into the opening but getting the egs out might require tongs, a cooking spoon or dumping out all of the water.

No ...it's a kettle. You can boil water and transfer it to a pan and add egg,, but do not cook any thing inside the kettle. It is for boiling water alone.

Yes. I am using it for eggs too. they come out perfect round. My daughter loves them. If you close the lid, you can get the yolk fully cooked, too. I really love this pan. It's so good and the price was so reasonable too. It's on my stove and I use it almost everyday. I use oil spray, and spray just a bit of oil before the egg or pancake batter.

Yes u could, just need to get enough oil around the rings so the eggs dont stick, they are good quality but I might have to look into a nonstick type of egg rings next time or a higher quality. However I use it about once a month so it suits my means at this price. Haven't tried on cast iron but it should hold up.

You can cook up to four eggs at a time in the Big Boiley. I believe there is a smaller version that only cooks two.

Yes in my opinion it makes good poached eggs.you just need to put the right amount of water. Use the measuring cup that the unit comes with if you want one egg fill the cup to soft and two eggs to medium.

Absolutely! I have made soft boiled eggs a number of times and they have turned out perfect each time. The whites are cooked and the yolks are smooth & silky. Yummy! Just be sure to measure the proper amount of water as indicated on the measuring device.

I have only used to poached an egg. You don't use the little skillet when you hard boil eggs. The part you use to hard boil eggs is plastic.

The pan has ridges - to score steak or chops, so it would not be appropriate for eggs. You'd need a flat or omelet pan for that.

Hi Lonnie, I never tried for medium boiled egga with this machine. But as per the directions given on this machine, depending on the water you use- the eggs are boiled accordingly. :)

no the Teflon is used for the frying of the eggs you can take that part out so you can hard boil the egg

No. You (typically) soft-boil the egg. I usually place the egg in a pot, fill the pot with water until the egg is fully covered, bring the water to a rolling-boil, and boil for 3-4 minutes. The white should be solid, and the yolk should be runny.

I've used it for that purpose with no problems. It's just exactly the same as putting a pot of water on the stovetop and putting the eggs in to boil.

I think you could but remember it is plastic so I don't think you'd want to put boiling water in it.

Yes. Just bring the water to a boil, turn heat down a bit, drop in the egg and put the cover back on. It'll keep cooking until you take it out. Three to five minutes should do it depending upon your definition of "well done". If this item were aluminum the timing would be somewhat variable, but it's solid stainless steel--even heavy for its size. My wife sees me put it on a half of English muffin, with perhaps a small piece of cheddar under, and says, "Another perfect egg?" And I smile.

Yes! You boil the eggs, then run them under cool water until just cooled enough to peel. Then place in mold and finish cooling in the refrigerator. I would guess a hour or two to cool completely. I have a full dozen molds so I can do a whole dozen eggs at once. They keep in the fridge for atleast a few days in the mold. Hope that helps :)

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

Yes, I've cooked pasta, lobster and hardboiled eggs on it many times in a large pot. It takes a little time to boil, but it works fine.
