Personally, I think it's silly to run an appliance for 40 min. to 2 hours for hard-boiled eggs. My little
Oster egg cooker does 1 to 8 hard-cooked eggs perfectly in approx. 10 minutes. It has a built-in
water measure level for hard, poached or soft-cooked eggs, and they peel perfectly no matter how
fresh they are...just laid, or laid six weeks ago. I got my first cooker as a wedding present in 1962
(had never seen one before) and it still works without trouble. It has had pretty heavy use.
But, you pays yer money and you takes yer choice, as they say. This device, easily stored in a
cupboard, is my choice.
