Lakeland Egg Boiler

I bought this as I needed cheering up after a bad day at work! I tried it for the first time this morning with excellent results so much better than using a saucepan. I will be using this product every time we want a boiled eggs! Ease of use is fantastic with an audible alarm once the eggs are ready, which is dependant on the presence of water (and vinegar if used). If you are having any doubts in buying this product buy it if you like boiled eggs! Oh and buy the egg piercer 10897 from Lakeland as it easier to use than the tool provided.

This neat, simple to use gadget is simply perfect. I have used it for soft, medium and hard boiled eggs and each time the results have been just right. Minimal mess, no fuss, and I don't have to boil up water, and then fuss around with a timer.

Machine is easy to use, perfect eggs every time, no mess, added bonus has a built in timer to tell you when the eggs are done, just remember to have the toast ready.

I bought this Egg Boiler to avoid need to watch over a pan. For first 2 eggs I spiked the pointy end as instructed but found the whites escaped out the hole during cooking. Subsequent eggs I pierced the blunt end & put them in the tray pointy end down & results are great. I use large supermarket eggs & boil straight from fridge. I fill water measure to just above the 1 soft egg mark. Lid handle design looks nice but is awkward. I now line the lid handle up with the on/off switch during use making it easy to lift the hot lid. I would say experiment a little to get the best from this product.

I have used one of these for some time, and I also find the issue of safety worrying. The handle is difficult to grip without touching the hot metal, and the steel part gets very hot. The water measure is quite hard to read, with small numbers, and it is a bit of a performance getting the amount right. Having said all that, it does the job of boiling eggs quite accurately, and as I am prone to walk away and forget the eggs, I find it very useful: the alarm is loud and strident. I just wish it was better designed. Having said that,

Having read rave reviews I bought one. My wife has a boiled egg for breakfast every day & sometimes I slip in 2 for myself. It has always been difficult to get them just right. Not runny, not hard but soft. I really hoped this was the answer. I carefully followed instructions, read again & again. Added quantity of water for 1 egg soft boiled. Was runny. Moved onto medium scale & starting at 7 egg point went on up. Still runny. Finally gone on to hard scale & find that using 7 egg mark sometimes gives me what I want but sometimes going hard. Is it really not for 1 egg?

I didn't k now what to expect with this product but I am glad I purchased it. Easy to use and easyish to clean (the stainless steel bottom on mine has discoloured) Pop in the eggs add the right amount of water and forget about it. No watching the pan or clock, and not at a huge cost.

Fantastic egg boiler. Never tried it on soft or medium eggs but 100% success on hard boiled. Can't be bothered to heat water in a pan, time eggs etc. For perfect boiled eggs I use eggs at room temperature (never straight out of fridge or they won't shell). Pierce, place in boiler, add water and switch on. Wait until buzzer goes. Rinse under cold water for 10 - 20 seconds and shells will fall off. Just can't recommend this product enough.

Bought one of these because I am too lazy to boil a saucepan of water and then wash said saucepan up. I can't tell you about soft boiled eggs but if you put 7 eggs in here, having pierced the blunt ends with the now metal spike on the measuring cup, add the maximum amount of water and go off and do something else for 20 minutes (that's the time for 7 eggs), you can come back when you hear the loud buzzer and it's job done, every time. You can now spend a happy 10 minutes burning your fingers off to remove the shells. Now cleaning, what you don't want to do. Just wipe dry the top and middle tray. Spray something on the stainless steel tray at the bottom and wipe clean and the jobs done. I'm not sure cooking eggs can ever be made any easier, so if you can't do this, just eat something else instead.
