Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Maverick SEC-2 Henrietta Hen Egg Cooker, White
Customer Review: Boiled eggs (but not poached)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very common appliance in Germany, where the traditional breakfast is a softboiled egg and a Kaiser roll with jam and butter, cheese or cold cuts. But it is a nuisance to correctly time eggs to get the right level of "done-ness." This appliance does it just right. As to poaching, none of these egg cookers really poaches an egg; to do that, you need a fry pan with some barely simmering water. Crack the (freshest possible) egg into a saucer and slip under the water. Lift out the cooked egg with a slotted spoon and drain. THAT'S a poached egg. Don't bother doing it any other way.The principle of operation of an egg cooker is very simple; you put in a measured amount of water based on number of eggs and whether you want soft or hard boiled eggs, pierce the bottom of the eggs to release steam, cover and go. The thermostat in the base detects the temperature spike that happens when the water has boiled off. Presto, eggs are done. Then plunge them in cold water to cool (a good practice for hard boiled eggs as it eliminates the green rim around the yolk.(
While you can make perfectly good eggs on top of the stove in a pot, this is a very handy device if you like plain eggs for breakfast or to make hard boiled eggs for hiking, picnics or sandwiches.
Description of Maverick SEC-2 Henrietta Hen Egg Cooker, White
With the ability to hard or soft boil up to seven eggs at once, or poach four eggs, this egg cooker will make a sunny addition to your kitchen countertop. Water boils and steams the precise length of time, due to the adjustable water level. Indicator light shows when in use, and Henrietta "chirps" when eggs are done. Most parts are dishwasher safe for added convenience.Whether you're making eggs Benedict for brunch or egg-salad sandwiches for school lunches, or if you just have a big, hungry family eager for breakfast, this cute device boils or poaches eggs to order and "chirps" when the eggs are cooked. Beneath Henrietta the hen's ample form there's a poaching tray that holds four eggs and a cooking rack that holds seven. Tray, rack, and Henrietta nest on a power base. Pour water into the base to one of three levels for soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs; puncture their big ends with the piercing pin in a separate cooking-rack cavity to prevent shells from cracking; plug in the power base; and steam cooks the eggs. The tray, which requires water at level two, rests on the cooking rack if poached eggs are desired. Afterward, all the hard plastic parts except the power base can go in the dishwasher. --Fred Brack
