Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware 64802 Microwave Egg Boiler
Customer Review: So great just ordered 2nd one!
Summary: 5 Stars
Received this yesterday and tried it out this morning with 4 eggs. My micro is 1200 watts and the instructions only cover 600, 800 & 1K watts. First attempt at 8 minutes (per instructions for 1K watts and hard boiled) was not enough for hard boiled and too long for soft. Yolks are not 'hard' boiled, but aren't runny either. Some sections of yolk gooey/sticky and still bright yellow while other portions of yolk are a bit more dense. After reading reviews I knew it might take a few attempts to get them right for me, but the first batch isn't so bad it can't be eaten. Whites cooked great and shells peeled like magic.
Second attempt, again 4 eggs but for 10 minutes this time. PERFECT hard boiled; easily shelled. Holy Cow, Batman! Where has this been all my life?
I love it so much after these initial attempts, I just ordered a second one. I need 7+ eggs at a time, so now that I know it works so well, I'm going to experiment with 2 units in the micro at same time and work out the timing for that also.
The unit does get HOT - make no mistake. And on occasion boiling water sizzles out of the top 'vent hole'. My lid doesn't 'snap' on as indicated in the instructions. No 'snap' to it; it just sits there, but does stay in place. If yours is that way, be very careful removing it from the micro. The lid can tip over and some boiling water may splash or roll down your fingers. I gave up with the potholders to remove it from the micro. I now use two of my larger 'rubber husbands'...you know ladies, those silicone/rubber palm-sized things that help you open tough jar lids. I have some from years back that are larger than my hand and in the shape of a gorilla - pink gorillas. One in each hand protects my hands from the heat of this unit, steadies it, and doesn't let it slip even if wet. Great for removing the lid to run eggs under cold water too.
Clean up is a snap. Even with one egg cracking while cooking, no mess. Now that I think about it, I'm going to edit my order and get some for holiday gifts for my lazy brothers!!!!!
Edit: Aug 13, 2009. OOPS! Tried putting 2 in the micro simultaneously to figure out how long it would take to hard boil 8 eggs total. Put micro on for 20 minutes and after 4 minutes, the micro blew! Well, not exactly blew UP, but stopped completely. When I tried resetting, no power. I unplugged unit from wall to check connection and the cord was HOT: the entire cord. When I touched the metal prongs I actually burned my fingers. Can't explain it, but I've never had this happen ever before with a microwave. Think I'll stick to one egg cooker at a time and just rotate them. I never did like putting metal in the micro. Maybe it just got too hot to handle.
