Egg Pod Review: Microwaved Hard Boiled Eggs? | As Seen on TV

My problem is with opening the hard boiled egg. Does your copper chef leave you with an egg that’s easy to peel? Seeing that the copper one is your favorite, it’s the one that I felt compelled to buy after watching this video. I dred it when I’m assigned to the “deviled egg” duty for the family bbq. I spend more effort on those darn eggs than I would if I got charged with making the 7 layer salad!

And when I say "stupidly small," I do mean it: I've seen RV kitchens that were better designed, more spacious, and with better storage. So yeah, you're prolly right. The Egg Pod might be ideal for an RV. But it's just not for me. A pot's more versatile.

The explanation for Amazon packing small items in large boxes has to do with their shipping container configurations. They can fit X number of boxes off X size and Y number of boxes of Y size etc to completely fill the container. If a container is nearly full and is at capacity for the number of X boxes it was designed to carry, your item will go in a Y box, even though the X box is smaller and would be more efficient. Think of it like stacking boxes of varying sizes in such a way as to completely maximize space in a shipping container. You can't have just any random assortment of box sizes, otherwise you'll waste space. It's all very predetermined.

[@PixelPanterIJ]

Hi, you seem to know what you’re talking about, but I don’t get it. How is using a smaller box equal to wasting space? Sure you have a gap of air, but you still shipped the same amount of products.

I have had an Egg Pod for years and this thing is awesome. It works just as great today as it did in the beginning with any eggs I have tried and with two different microwaves. One of the best kitchen gadgets I have bought.

[@thisandthatdailylife9081]

I have one and love it. I use it at least once a week. I don’t do the peeling part though. 6 minutes in my microwave ( doesn’t matter if the eggs are room temp or straight out of the fridge ) then let it sit 2 minutes and that’s it. Zero clean up ! The steaming seems to make eggs peel more easily. When ready to eat I just put down a piece of paper towel. Tap the egg on it hard enough to crack it and then roll the egg applying gentle pressure. Pull off the shell, wrap the paper towel around the shell and discard. Easy peasy quick and tidy.

[@Hathur]

Best way to make a boiled egg is to steam it in a rice / vegetable steamer or just a simple pot and a metal collander. 8 minutes for hard boiled (once the steam starts). The steam lifts the shell from the egg membrane, making it the easiest way to peel an egg. Also the fastest way to boil an egg since you only need an inch or less of water in a pot to make plenty of steam to "boil" the eggs.

I have the Dash egg maker and it cooks up to 6-7 eggs at a time to perfection and I love it. I also recently purchased the Eggwich and used it tonight for the first time. I added one egg, a tiny bit of water, mixed it well, (You can also add milk or cream), some cheese, and salt, and mixed it well again. I microwaved it for one minute, removed it from the oven, and let it sit while I toasted my bread. It was done and was nice and fluffy. Adding a tiny bit of water tends to make them fluffy. I love the Eggwich also! ❤️

Hi James. Another great review. Thanks. My favorite egg gadgets are Egglettes because I have arthritic hands and peeling eggs are a real problem. With Egglettes, you crack the eggs during preparation, so there is no peeling of cooked eggs. THANKS AGAIN!

[@andrean8700]

IT WORKS PERFECTLY - EVERY SINGLE TIME, even the first time! You don’t even have to follow the exact numbers: nine minutes cooking, two minutes cooling with the microwave door open, two minutes of running water over it, 10 shakes up and down. You can increase or decrease the cooking time according to how well done or not well done you want your eggs; you can leave the eggs to cool for five minutes; you can place the hard-boiled eggs in a pitcher full of cold water and add ice cubes as the hot eggs melt them (and use that water to water houseplants OR your garden - hugely beneficial!), then put the eggs back in the egg pod w/orig water and shake 10 or 15 times up and down and from side to side and you have perfectly cooked, almost totally clean, peeled eggs! I use mine at least twice a week and it’s amazing - and cheap!

[@toscatattertail9813]

this one is one of the few that actually lives up to it's claims. Just got one and it worked the first time without having to fiddle with the timing, or how much water to use, or anything else. got cooked not scorched or loose egg whites and what i didn't eat went into the fridge for later.

2:25 it is CRITICAL step to insure the aluminum dish is INSIDE the dome of the egg-pod. If you forget this step the eggs will explode and make a mess in microwave. TWICE, if you are a slow learner like me! Cleaning up two messes, and I finally remembered to check for the aluminum dome. I found a way to stack the four part to dry, so that I pick up the aluminum top dish BEFORE the dome.

[@jeisonsanchez4842]

The freshest eggs are the hardest to peel! I have the Nordic Ware version of this gadget that I purchased on Amazon 10 years ago. Using this is like using a rice cooker. Set it up, push some buttons and walk away. There’s no need to monitor the cooking progress or mess around with timers. If you need to cook more than 4 eggs, it’s better to just use the pot + stove method.

[@straubdavid9]

Well, after trying the Egg Pod .... I've come to the conclusion that I love it! I set my microwave (1150 watts) for 9min10secs on high. The eggs come out perfect, and peel like a dream with 12 good shakes. This mini pod is perfect for my day to day use .... like making egg salad/tuna fish sandwiches, and a couple eggs to put on a salad, or make a couple deviled eggs etc. The only downside is that I don't think you can take apart the base, to get out the water and small eggshell pieces that fall through the small port holes in the bottom. If anyone knows if you can get the base apart without destroying it .... please leave a comment.

Hey just had a couple fried egg sandwhiches for lunch. They were perfect! I know I'm extremely humble.

[@CrimFerret]

The thing I like about this is the eggs don't come out cracked like they often can if you boil them in water. The exact times aren't that important. I just zap mine for 6 mins pull them out, run some cold water over them empty the water out and put them in the fridge unless I want to eat them right away. It also contains any mess should an egg explode which can occasionally happen if you don't puncture the shells (which you don't have to with this).

I have the egg pod, i use it everyother day, its a lot easier than keeping track and watch a pot of eggs. And because it sreams the eggs instead of cooking in water it allows the shells to come off so much easier, i have never been able to cook an egg any other way qhere the shell comes off as easy as it does in the egg pod. 2 things that i do differently, the 2 minutes under cold running water i dont do, instead i put a few ice cubes in it and fill it up with cold water and let it sit for the 2 minutes, and the second thing is to make sure your top is locked and seled before shaking it.

[@jamesturner44]

I think I can simply explain the amazon oversized box thing....I worked for an auto parts website that operated very similar to Amazon (if you work/worked for amazon, please let me know if i'm wrong!) containers full of product came down the belt and we had to pack everything FAST. it was all numbers driven. If you ran out of a box, you just had to grab something close in size and stuff it with fill. Sometimes a small item would end up in a bigger box just to keep it moving and keep those numbers up. Some packers also just don't care, since the emphasis was on getting as much stuff shipped and not quality packaging.

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

You can get the shake technique outcome by just smashing the shell on the bowl or counter. The idea is that once the shell is totally crushed, none of the pieces poke into the egg itself. That keeps the cooked egg white from coming off with the shell.

[@prebenkul]

I do wish you knew how to do a electricity test to see if this would be better than cooking on a stove as in the costs. (Pot + cover + gas/electricity + water) vs (the egg pod + the little water + the microwave electricity cost). Then we'd know for certain if this would be cheaper than the standard default stove option.
