Please let us know if it is any good? I can always use another in
adjunct to the Kutas tome.

How did you get past my killfile this time? Did I teach you that?

Apparently it came yesterday (or today?) I just didn't see it on the
porch.

It's 340 pages or so, just like I said. But it's a half-size book,
slightly bigger than your average Harlequin Romance. I guess I
missed that part. I've barely cracked it, just to see if it was a
Large Print book.

Ok, I can wait for a report. I'm not yet ready to order a large book
load from Amazon yet. I generally do the $50.00 worth thing to get the
free shipping. ;-)

Right now they're offering a free trial of "Amazon Prime" which is
free 2 day shipping, and $4 next day shipping per item for a year
for $80.

The first 30 day "trial" is free. I had it for 29 days and then
[barely remembered to] canceled it. But I ordered 5 items during
that time and got free 2-day shipping on all 5.

Of course they're planning on you to forget to cancel in 29 days and
charging your card for $80. Those were the only 5 items I ever
ordered from Amazon.

I think I'll give that a miss. <g> It's not difficult to order $50.00
worth of books from Amazon and get their free shipping which they've
been doing for years. Movies and other items as well. I have ordered
kitchen stuff from them many times, especially around Christmas.

That microwave egg cooker is currently one of my most frequently used
gadgets...

I'll save it for next year. I didn't really buy it anyway. I just
wanted to plant the threat in the back of his brain (with a
spatula).

I actually bought three different ones and use all three, but the one to
make soft or hard boiled eggs is the one I use the most. Makes them
peel like a dream too and you put the eggs in there whole, in the shell:

<http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Mi...B0007M2BN0/ref
=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1273572192&sr=1-1>

I also bought the Nordicware Microwave Omelet pan and the flat 4 cell
poacher. The poacher cooks eggs in one minute flat (or less) and I make
the omelet in 2 parts and it cooks in 50 seconds in my oven. :-) The
poacher has a good cover and it's the only one where I get a little bit
of white popping but it's no big deal.

The egg shaped hard boiler does a good soft boil in 5 minutes and hard
boiled in 7 minutes and no exploding eggs at all! It has an inner
aluminum chamber I think that prevents that. It essentially steam cooks
them.

You are most welcome! The only eggs that crack in there for me are ones
with damaged shells that would have cracked with traditional boiling
anyway.

I really do love that silly thing!

This one has an aluminum inner chamber that is protected by the plastic
outer shell wall. I suspect it is that that keeps the whole eggs from
exploding. The ones that crack cook eggzactly the same as damaged eggs
cook in boiling water.

But it's a LOT faster and easier cleanup.

The only drawback (if you consider that it is a drawback) is that it
cooks only 4 eggs at a time. I don't consider that to be a real issue
since I just cook for two.

That inner chamber does not seem to bother the microwave any either.
I've been using this toy regularly now for a few months.
The vast majority of the eggs do not crack and turn out perfect. I just
had some soft boiled eggs for dinner a bit ago.

I'm not in to tradition when it comes to my mood for food. <g>
