Customer Reviews of West Bend 86628 Automatic Egg Cooker
Customer Rating:  Summary: Yum. Eggs. Comment: My husband and I received this as a gift 5+ years ago. I thought it was the dumbest gift ever. I mean c'mon... I can cook eggs on the stove. I believe it even took me a year to open the box. But when I finally used it I was AMAZED! This thing made the best hard/soft boiled eggs EVER!! Hard boiled eggs have never been dry since. We have used this machine at least once a week for years and I would totally buy another one if something ever happened to ours *gasp*!! Customer Rating: Summary: Daily use Comment: Since receiving the Egg Poacher I have used it every day. It is easy to use and does what I expect of it. I tried to buy one locally in our stores and no one had one. Jean Fetterman Customer Rating: Summary: Very pleased Comment: I have had 2 previous egg cookers, both different manufacturers. I liked the first one, but the plastic eggholder broke and the part was no longer available. The second one I didn't have very long before the non-stick coating on the bottom curled and flaked off. I researched through the reviews posted with each brand of cooker, and picked the Westbend model. I am so pleased with this device; it's easy to operate, it cleans up easily (though there's hardly anything to clean up after the cooking's done), and it seems substantial. I'm looking forward to a long relationship with this cooker. The only thing I miss is an auto shut-off, but I'm doing fine without it. Soft boiled and hard boiled eggs cook perfectly using the easy to read measurer, but don't know about poached. I'm glad I took the time to research and read all the reviews! Customer Rating: Summary: works perfectly Comment: I just bought this and although I don't do poached or soft boiled eggs, the hard boiled eggs come out perfectly! I am glad I bought this! Customer Rating:  Summary: West Bend? Never again! Comment: I cook poached eggs a lot for breakfast, so when my trusty Sunbeam poacher got all corroded from years of use, I replaced it with the West Bend. First, the West Bend has a loud obnoxious buzzer to indicate when the eggs are done, it's so loud that in jangles the nerves, not the ideal way to start the day. Then, after only about a month of use, the timer started malfunctioning, going off when the eggs were still raw, and turning itself off even when there was still water in the unit. After having several breakfasts ruined by this unreliable appliance, I decided to order a new Oster. I wish I had never thrown away my funky old Sunbeam, at least it was reliable and built like a tank. This West Bend unit is all glossy, cheap plastic, but is totally unreliable. They should call it West Bend-over! More Reviews Hard-cooked, soft-cooked, poached, how do you like your eggs? No more worrying about "green" yolks, or raw eggs, or tinkering with boiling water and slotted spoons. This handy little machine makes cooking your eggs as easy as pushing a button. You will get superior results, with far less effort, each and every time. Now where's that recipe for Hollandaise sauce, oh yeah, it's in the recipe booklet. 
Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers A large number of freezers have eliminated defrosting by continually circulating the air inside the freezer compartment, thus avoiding frost build-up -- a feature well worth paying a little extra for.

Kitchen tips -> Orange When it is desirable to remove the white membrane from a peeled orange, the process can be simplified by first placing the unpeeled orange in boiling water for 5 minutes |
