Manufacturer's Description
The microwave egg boilers are perfect for everyday breakfast and boil eggs in seconds. The egg boilers have been designed for use in the microwave, they are made from a special plastic just for use in microwave ovens. The egg boilers come with a container that has a flat base so that it stands easily and neatly in the microwave. They also have a lid with a vent and indents so that they can be easily removed. The boilers are quick and easy to use, simply break the egg into the egg boiler, prick yolk and replace lid. Place the boiler into the microwave oven and in just 20-30 seconds your breakfast egg is done. The egg boilers are dishwasher safe for easy maintenance.

Customer Reviews

Terrible!
The previous reviewer is spot on - it does not boil eggs, you have to break them.

But even if you want poached eggs, I can confirm they simply do not work very well. You'll either end up with runny yokes or runny white or, if you keep cooking, parts which will be overcooked. And if you do happen to overcook, cleaning burnt-on yolk becomes difficult.

If you want to boil eggs properly, you could get an electric egg boiler like the (excellent) one made by Puregadgets which I've reviewed elsewhere (especially if you boil eggs frequently). If you want to use a microwave oven, boil a bowl of water in it on the highest power level then cook the egg in it at a lower setting - but be prepared to experiment a bit. Failing all that, stick to the old-fashioned way of boiling in a pan of water - nothing simpler really!

Poachers, not boilers, and not very good
These are misdescribed; they produce poached, not boiled eggs. You have to break the egg into them and prick the yoke before microwaving.

The timings on the box don't seem to work, and after four attempts I've found it impossible to get the bottom of the egg cooked without over-doing the yolk. I'm afraid this is not the easy way to cook eggs for breakfast after all.

don't buy
Those are so useless. The top pop out in the microwave, never manage to have a decent egg from it.
