Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Egg Genie Electric Egg Cooker
Customer Review: Boiling Eggs on the Stove is Much Easier
Summary: 1 Stars
EggGenie Egg Genie Electric Egg Cooker
The Egg Genie sounds like it is going to make life simpler with the invention of an easier way to boil eggs, right? WRONG! The TV commercial and the instructions on the box are both misleading, and fail to tell you about some additional steps that make this appliance much more difficult to use than simply boiling eggs in a pot the old fashioned way.
First, before you place the eggs in the Egg Genie, you must pierce each egg with a special included egg-piercing tool. (A step not necessary when simply boiling eggs in a pot.) Second, even though the amount of water that you add to the Egg Genie controls the amount of cooking time, unbelievably, the unit does not automatically turn off when the eggs are done (and the water is used up). Instead, an annoying timer-buzzer goes off continuously until you turn the unit off manually. If technology exits that allows coffee pots and other similar electronic applicances to turn themselves off automatically, then surely this device could have been designed with this feature as well.
But the extra step of egg-piercing was the main deal breaker. I bought an Egg Genie from a local chain drug store after reading the misleadingly simple sounding instructions on the box. But after getting home and reading the complete instructions in the instruction manual inside the box and determining that this device was actually more difficult and more inconvenient to use than boiling eggs the traditional way, I returned it to the store for a full refund.
Any device that makes life harder actually deserves no stars, but one star is the lowest rating that Amazon allows, which explains my generous rating here.
