I really just want a no-peel way to get hard-boiled eggs. If I leave these in the boiling water long enough, will that work, do you think?

Forget it. This will only get you two at a time at best. Buy a bag of hard-boiled, peeled eggs - Eggland's Best at most grocers or a "no-name" version at Trader Joe's. A bit more expensive, but not crazily so. Instant, no labor required and always perfectly cooked. Sometimes convenience is worth the money. But for poaching? These rock.

Yes, that should work. I like soft boiled and I cook for 4 minutes in simmering water with a lid. You could just cook longer for solid yokes and whites.

Absolutely. However, it may not be the exact same texture and the shape will be vastly different. Also, I would be sure to leave a lid on them the whole time...

I put about a 1/4 inch of water in the pan. Spray the egg cups with cooking spray,put it together and heat to boiling. Remove lid, add eggs reduce heat to medium low, put lid on . Will onlyttake a couple of minutes. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's true. The pans need to be coated with a good dose of oil, and there still may be some sticking. You need to heat the pan over LOW heat for 5 full minutes before adding the fish or eggs. A much easier way to go would be to buy a Wolfgang Puck Teflon coated pan for egg and fish dishes.

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

Add a little bit of water to pan while it is heating and your egg will not stick. Good luck.

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 :)

They do last better with lower heats. I have one pan I use to boil water. It eventually ruins the nonstick finish, but it's just one pan...the others are still like new.

The answer is yes and no. You have to heat them up before you put your food on for it to be non-stick. if it isnt hot enough and you put your food on, it will stick. This is especially true with meat. Personally, i never cook eggs on these pans

I don't think that you should put these in boiling water. They might have chemicals in them or something.

I don't recommend heating it in the oven or boiling water. It contains two gel packs and I think they might come apart in boiling water, but I think you might be able to dip them into warm water. You don't want them to be boiling hot anyway. They would be too hot to handle and would be too hot for your face.

Sure, if they've been boiled for awhile. Seems kind of rough on your motor, if they were not boiled enough to be kind of soft. (you are making pet food, aren't you?)

As 3 others have said, you can cook eggs very easily in this pan, especially if you follow this little tip: place the raw egg in a bowl of warm (not hot, warm) water for 2-3 minutes before breaking them open, you wont even need any sort of oil. However do be mindful of your utensils and cleaning implements.

It should work pretty good. Not completely air tight but close. With all hard boiled eggs you'll probably get some moisture in each slot.

as long as they are peeled, cooked and soft, no problem. with peel a bit cumbersome but doable.i love this product, use it at least once a week.

Yes! Exactly. Just fill in the exactly amount of water of the small plastic container, and then pour the water on the black surface of the egg cooker. It should work!!

No, it does not matter. The temperature of the eggs determine how fast the water evaporates. When it has evaporated, the timer goes off (which is why you don't have to set it for soft-boiled or hard-boiled, etc.--each just uses a different amount of water).

Perfect for that. I think you can hard boil an egg with it. Dry leaves would catch fire :D lol
