to most folk. my wife, however, likes them hard, so hard it is like a hard boiled egg. in fact, it is so abnormal, only 10% of the restaurants actually get her eggs "very well done" when she asks. so she now says, very uber, extremely, like hard boiled eggs done. And some still don't get it.


so i eat her eggs.... actually, i have them redo the eggs now, it is getting tiring.

Looks nice, but what I did not like about the one I returned was the "plastic" alleged non-stick insert. I think you need some form of metal cooking the egg, the plastic on mine just did not work.

Plus, I want at least a four egg poacher so we can make a quick breakfast or dinner.

I will assume from your comments that you haven't actually tried my suggestion yet.....or, perhaps your microwave doesn't permit you to vary the cooking heat or time.....

I did try them. They were hard and rubbery. Did I miss a suggestion?

yes, try variations of heat and time, not simply "full blast" till they are hard and rubbery....

I hate poached embryos. I like them fried, over-hard on a bagel, though.
