MICOOK Microwave Egg Cooker, Microwave Egg Boiler with Safe Buckle and Handle, No Piercing Required, Dishwasher Safe, Only 5 Minutes for Hard or Soft Boiled Eggs, Chicken Shape(White)

It's a little embarrassing how inordinately happy this hen egg cooker makes me. First off, it's so darned cute and I like just looking at it. It's smaller than I expected (good) and doesn't take up all that much space, which is a selling point for those who hate unitaskers. It seems well-made and is easy to carry by the little tail feathers handle. Second, it does a great job making hard-boiled eggs in a relatively short period of time. I don't do anything special, just add water to the fill line, put 4 eggs in the indentations in the metal tray, seal it up (with the little clasps), and pop it in the microwave for 8 minutes. Voila, perfect (and I do mean perfect) HB eggs! I also wanted to note how easy it is to peel eggs cooked in this cooker. The shells just slide off like a charm without needing to run them under water. I've never had the egg stubbornly stick to the shell. If I used a pan on the stovetop, I'd still be waiting for the water to boil at this point and the eggs might not even come out as consistently good as they do in the cooker. Plus, after popping the egg cooker in the microwave, I can walk away without worrying that I'll forget to check on them (been there, done that). I also like that I can make only 1-4 eggs at a time, so I can pretty much just quickly make a few at a time only as needed. If I need more, I can have a second batch ready in a jiffy. (And did I mention the cute little hen? lol)

Perfect hard boiled eggs in 5 min. I went the goofy chicken design because the tail is a holder to pull it out without burning your fingers or requiring a potholder. This is very small so it's easy to find storage space for it. It takes 15 min to cook a dozen eggs so the time is equal you will just have to do it 3 times. The upside is, you no longer have to worry about ruining a dozen eggs at a time. There is no time guide given, 5 min in a large microwave using grade A large and mine were exact. You can adjust as needed from there. I bought 1 to try, now that I know it works so well I am buying one for a friend and probably a few others. 4 eggs is typically all we need at one time. For those who do deviled eggs for parties, this is a must. No more buying twice the eggs you need. I cover my eggs in ice (no water) to cool and peeling is not a problem.

** EDIT: Downgrading to 1 star because eggs keep exploding. This worked fine a few times but now almost everytime either the egg explodes violently or it cracks up and all the insides ooze out. Dangerous because a couple of times the microwave door also burst open, and boiling water was everywhere along with the super hot innards of the egg. Lucky no one got burned. RETURNING IT (ORIGINAL REVIEW): Boils the eggs perfectly in 7 minutes, I usually boil only 1 or 2 at a time. So it does it's job nicely and is not too pricey. As a bonus, this item is of Decent quality and looks good. My little kid loves the hen shape.

You can only cook your 4 eggs for 7 minutes or the eggs will burst. I have another type of egg cooker and mines cooks 4 eggs for 10 minutes and the eggs cook perfectly.

it works well but when removing from the microwave it sometimes comes undone.

Works great! I was really missing the quick egg cooker I had used for several years. Already used this new one several times in just a few days. Very pleased with results. No directions included for cooking time or water fill but I had read the reviews,found the cooking and water directions online and made a copy. The cooking time will need to be lowered if microwave is higher watts than 1000. Also I let my eggs sit in cooker for few min when cooker finishes then run cold water over egg/eggs and the shell is easy to peel. This is a great time saver,the lid latches on both ends, the design is cute and the price is unbeatable!

This is a great tool to have in the kitchen. I'd recommend trying a couple of different cooking times to get it just the way you like it, but once you find it, it's great. It was perfectly done and easy to peel. This is much easier (and cheaper) than the expensive egg cookers that make you pierce the egg before cooking. No fuss, no muss - just a perfectly cooked egg.

This microwave egg boiler is just great. I am very pleased that I bought it. I have used it twice and am still learning the exact cook time settings that I need to use with my particular microwave oven. It is much quicker and more convenient to use than my range cook top and the shells of the eggs have not cracked when the eggs have been taken directly from the refrigerator. It is very easy to clean.
