OXO Good Grips Punctual Egg Timer With Piercer

Very accurate and eggs come out perfect

These are good little egg cookers that make it almost painless to have a scrambled egg/omlette for breakfast. They are just deep enough to whisk the ingredients in and cook them in one minute (at 900w/one and a half minutes for two eggs), and the cover ensures that you don't have to worry about the roof of your microwave being caked in napalmed egg afterwards. A little oil (sprayed then brushed) around the base also means that they clean pretty much instantly. The finished result is a perfectly round "cake" that fits inside a muffin, bun or mini wrap. I tried to "fry" an egg in it, but it seems you have to constantly check on the state, so, IMO, it isn't really worth the hassle.

Well made and appears to be built to last. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this timer works, it's taken a bit of trial and error to get the exact cooking amount I want, perfect result every time now.

Doesn't cook soft yolk eggs. I tried numerous times- the yolk cooks faster than the white. For scrambled eggs it's great though, so I've kept it gor that.

I saw these being advertised on YouTube so did a search on amazon and yep they have them, I really like boiled eggs but never buy them as I'm absolutely hopeless at taking the shell off and throwing half of it in bin, so i brought one of these and got some eggs and omg the just comes off so easily and the eggs our cooked perfectly every time and it's really handy to put the eggs on in the kitchen and bring the timer into my Lounge and so good to watch the pulsating blue lights so you can see exactly how long they have to cook, yes it's £20 but it's worth every single penny and definitely one of the best gadgets in my kitchen.

The timings are not short enough for eggs not kept in a frdge - as you are advised by Delia and others not to do! Great shame as lots of features. I have to put it on 20 seconds or more before I put eggs in the water - or if you have a very large egg use the small egg setting. 5 stars for sturdiness as I dropped it this week - and it survived.

I think this is pretty good at timing the boiled eggs so I get to eat them the way I like, hence the 5 stars.I also like the integrated egg piercer

My wife has a boiled egg for breakfast every morning.We get eggs from a local farmer and would describe them as large. Trial and error has led us to fing the 4 and a half minutes produces an egg with a firm white and a runny yolk. I have bought numerous items over time to assist in the morning routine, breakfast boards, egg toppers, egg cups and the like.This seemed to be an adjustable timer that would fit in with this collection.Setting it up, I am dismayed that the minimum time setting for a small egg is 5 minutes. This is too long.I will try to return it.Note please, all of you talking about poaching eggs have got the wrong end of the stick.
