Can you steam eggs in this model?

Yes. I have not tried it, however. It will also cook a frittata, risotto without stirring, perfect steel cut oats, polenta, and of course, rice. I especially like the heavy duty cooking bowl. The convenience has led to healthier eating.

Yes, it came equiped with an egg tray. This is the absolute best rice cooker / steamer I have ever owned.

I think you might be able to- as long as you are only trying to use half the mold (my molds are in the garage somewhere right now)- but I think they are dimensional on both sides, and they are not water tight (egg liquid would leak out- so I'd chill them in a bowl).

Sadly, no. But the steam function works very well. It is a great rice cooker for the money.

Yes it can but works much better as a fryer. I've had mine for a year and we use it all the time. Including turkeys and chickens for the holidays. You can get a dutch oven with steam basket for much less money if all you need is a steamer.

Put some water in your pan, then put a lid on top of it and the steam will cook the top of the egg, no flipping necessary.

You can but you have to be really careful because of the steam. I use a spatula to turn the water lid, with my hand covered with a tea towel. As it starts to steam, I step back. Do a bit more. Step back. It's all a bit Heath Robinson but it takes less time than cooling down and reheating, and it does work, but you have to be careful.

I have never done that but I don't see why not. Of course it would depend on cooking time. You would not want to steam something that would take longer than the pasta to cook. Know what ? I think I'll try it. Hope this helps. CW

The manual says that everything needs to be upright to steam properly, however I have used it in this fashion and while you're taking a risk of burning yourself, I've been able to do it just fine. Just know that's not how it's desigend to be used.

Yes, but probably best if it's a simmer method. You'd do this without the wood/ceramic steamer unit -- just use the pot and lid.

i can not answer your question because I nave never used one. but I think you press the button and the steam comes out the front of it.

Yes you can. I own one and I do water bath canning and cook in mine often. I do not recommend very high heat.

No - just add your beaten eggs and whatever else you want in it. It is fabulous.

No. It uses the water you put in the tank. There is **no** heating function to create steam.

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!!

Yes. The steam only comes out of one spout. It starts the moment you put the switch on.

I would say as long as you have enough water inside to produce the steam and the steamer comes with a lid right? Test it out... I am thinking about getting this set also. I just wish this came with a pasta insert.

Yes you can do as described but it isn't really steaming but rather boiling the veggies. The legs on this unit are nubs and not long enough to lift veggies put of water. A steam basket would be more appropriate. There is one made of stainless with 1" legs built to open (blossom like a flower) to fit the vessel being used to cook with. BTW it doesn't take a few inches to steam veggies for most families. The less water used the faster the water will create steam.
