Lakeland Egg Boiler

Lakeland Egg Boiler

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.

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.

I'd seen some not-so-good reviews here, so awaited my delivery with some trepidation. Worry not! Simply follow the instructions exactly and all will be well.
The only thing I ensure is to gently pierce the pointed end of the egg, but not right the way through. Result? Perfect eggs, incredibly quickly.
I'm now trying to convince my husband that he can easily make breakfast in bed for me for a change!
