There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Well....the magic that I got was what seemed like every drop of water I put into it leaking out all over my counter. So as that batch finished cooking I placed a dish towel on the counter around the base to catch the water and waited. When the beeper sounded alerting me that they were ready I removed the lid and almost all of the eggs had cooked egg whites pouring out of the holes at the top of the egg and the shells had cracked. I also had quite a bit of stuck on, burned egg white in the cooking base. So I removed all of the exterior egg white from the eggs and began trying to peel them. This was not an easy feat and the shape of the hard-boiled eggs was very displeasing to the eye to say the least. They were barely edible but were in no way anything I would ever be able to use for deviled eggs and I was a little skeptical that I would even be able to get my husband to try them. I ended up cutting them up and using them in a tuna salad and they were fine.
Later I was determined that I had done something wrong and tried another batch (not quite so many this time just in case). I thought "Well, maybe when I punctured the eggs at the top my hole was not directly in the center and faced directly up while they were cooking, causing the egg white to kind of run out the side??" Sounded vaguely plausible but hey I was determined to figure this out. So I got a few more eggs, poured the correct amount of water in the base and took my time making sure I punctured them all as close to what looked like the center of the top of the egg as I could (thinking "I actually hope this doesn't solve the problem because with the time it's taking to do this I might as well be boiling them on the stove.'). So again I put them in and put the lid on and turned it on and waited for the magic. I also placed a towel underneath it this time just in case. As I watched for a bit to see what it would do I was glad that I did because almost immediately the lid began to raise up and down a little causing water to bubble out of the sides and run down on to the towel. Again most of the water had come out of it and when they were finished I took the lid off and had the same results I had the first time.
I decided to get online to see if I could figure out what was going on and if it was actually supposed to give me the results I was getting. Finding very little on the internet other than reviews on Amazon I became even more discouraged.
- There are lots of reviews regarding the water leaking issue followed up by people saying they just go ahead and put a towel beneath it and let it do its thing. But I couldn't imagine that Cuisinart actually made an appliance of any sort that was designed to make a huge mess in your kitchen.
- There are some saying if you have one that leaks water then you more than likely have a defective one and need to return it to the manufacturer for another. If this was the case, with as many people saying that theirs leaked water all over the place it sounded to me that there are actually very few out there that are not defective. So this didn't sound right either.
So I pulled my manual out again thinking maybe there was a step I missed somewhere. I read the instructions for making hard-boiled very carefully, moved on and read the instructions for making poached and the same with omelets. I hadn't missed one step and I had done it exactly how the manual instructed.
So unfortunately I decided that it did, in fact, look like Cuisinart had just made a crappy appliance and that I should have read the reviews before I bought it and got all excited about it. Very saddened by this I continued to flip through the manual, daydreaming about what it could have been like had this little sucker actually worked when....I saw something.... Right there on page 5 under "Tip and Hints" 3rd and 4th bullet points!!
- The eggs should be in the carton large end
up – this will help them stay fresher longer
and will keep the yolks centered. This is a
suggested method for storing eggs.
- ............Always pierce the top of the egg, as in
the side of the egg which was facing up
when stored in the refrigerator.
How did I not know this? The large end of the egg is the TOP?! Seriously? You have got to be kidding me right now! Determined to prove this was not correct I pulled out my carton of eggs, which I just knew ALWAYS had the small end at the top, and you can imagine my complete and utter surprise! The large end was facing up on every single egg. Every one of them!
So I immediately grab a few eggs and tried it again. Put the water in, punctured the eggs on the real TOP, stacked them in, turned it on and waited. No water bubbling out at all....not a drop! Beeper went off and I took the lid off and PERFECT!! All of them Perfect!! Started peeling and the shells all but fell off. Oh.....I was so excited you can't even imagine.
I couldn't believe that the whole problem was my ignorance of which end of the egg was the top. Unbelievable!
So having a few days behind me (because at that point I had more eggs cooked than we could possibly eat) I decided to try my hand at poaching some eggs. Even the reviewers that raved about the hard-boiled eggs flat out said this thing will not make poached eggs, don't even try. But my husband prefers poached to hard-boiled so I had to try as this was a gift for him in the first place.
So I tried it according to the directions only I added a little more water than the beaker suggested for poached eggs thinking "If people are having trouble with their poached eggs not being cooked through then the obvious answer is to add more water so that they cook longer, right?". WRONG! Oh they looked great from the top but I started pulling them out and they were nowhere near cooked on the bottom. About a third of the egg was still raw on the bottom.
At that point I was just happy that it perfectly hard-boiled my eggs without making a huge mess and that I didn't have the expense of a funeral for the egg cooker that could have been.
A few weeks have gone by now and I am loving my Egg Central. I've perfectly hard boiled dozens of eggs and we love them. Still hadn't tried cooking them any other way again until this morning while I was loading the cooker for hard-boiled eggs again and I accidentally crunched one's shell so badly that I didn't think it would be a good idea to put it in to hard-boil. So I decided to try poaching again.
I sprayed the poaching tray with a little olive oil but this time I filled the beaker to the level for hard-boiling just to see what happened. When the beeper sounded I took the lid off and they appeared to be cooked, but I'd obviously been fooled once before. So I got a fork and carefully started pulling the edges away from the tray and it looked like they were cooked all the way through this time. So I pulled all of the edges away from the sides of the tray and pulled them out on to a plate. They were all PERFECT! Completely and perfectly cooked all the way through!
VERY IMPORTANT: If you have hard water even filtered water will leave a residue in the base after the eggs are cooked. At first I tried a wet paper towel to scrub it out. Then I tried a cleaner and nothing worked. I finally as suggested poured a little water and a little white vinegar and as soon as I poured the vinegar in the stuff on the bottom began lifting off of the bottom. I let it set for a few minutes and using my finger and a paper towel wipe the bottom and then pour the water/vinegar out into the sink. Wipe dry and it looks like I just took it out of the box.
So after this very long review I can say that I was very disappointed at first with the performance of the Cuisinart Egg Central but after a little tweaking and learning how to use it properly I am more than happy with it and have decided to purchase more as gifts for others I know who love eggs.
THIS THING CHANGES THE GAME!
Just used mine for the first time. Wasn't able to "poke" them as I didn't realize there was a protective cover over the "poker." Broke two, decided to heck with that, put them in, anyway, measured the water, and moved the lever to On.
Wow. Way faster than I expected, bathed the eggs in ice water for a few minutes, then hesitantly peeled two.
WHAT AN AMAZINGLY EASY PEELING EXPERIENCE!! The eggs are done to perfection and I am eating them now.
LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
Directions are an easy read and informative, and yes, pay attention to the simple instructions. Honestly can not recall the last time that a company provided me with a well written instruction book. Use some common sense tweaking, if you want hard boiled eggs, and a more rapid chill in the water bath and add some ice cubes. Soft boiled, I use regular temp tap water, and leave in less time, so that I don't have a cold egg to consume.
I am embarrassed to say this part, but will admit it, thinking that I can't be the only one. I suppose I was a bit too anxious to use this product the very first time, and in error neglected to see that the piercing needle had the tiniest little cap on it. I felt so silly once I realized the error that made. Here is was believing that this piercing thing is going to take more practice then I expected, because I feel like I am having to apply too much pressure Lol, funny now, embarrassing then.
First thing I tried was hard boiled eggs, and they came out perfectly, and yes, I was prepped with ice water ready. Soft boiled eggs were perfect too, and think being ready with the water bath to cool them for a minute or two was key. Soft boiled will turn to hard boiled very quickly, if you do not stop the cooking immediately.
I would have given this item 5 stars if poaching tray was not so small. In addition, the shape is triangular and simply do not have an association with small poached triangular shape eggs. I was able to successfully poach 2 eggs by circumventing and placing a ramekin in the omelet pan. Had to tweak non-stick ability in ramekin with light butter application, and very light spray of butter flavored non-stick spray. Though successful, if you are eating breakfast with someone, there is now way that I can see that you can eat together with using ramekin, or omelet. Omelet pan is smallish too and round. It's not the shape that bothers me here, it is not having the option for doing an omelet for two or a larger portion.
No regrets about buying this item, just know that I would resign, if I could, with more options. Additional note that with boiled eggs, have not used for more than two eggs. Instructions do say that amount of eggs can affect cooking time. If I find this to be noticeable enough to add additional update, I will do so.
