#eggs #egggadets #gadgets
These devices are very good for people with limited mobility who cannot stand at a stove and cook in a conventional way. Have shown my patients with limitations the smaller waffle maker, egg steamer, Geo. Foreman grills, and the breakfast sandwich maker. One or more of these devices have improved their quality of life.
Yep. My grandma stayed living alone, but she needed things like this in the kitchen. She liked making her stuff still but she couldn't stand long in the kitchen
This! I'm going to try to afford it
Thank you for pointing this out people like me who have major back issues would totally find this useful
They will be bought up by special needs catalogs and this $40 item will become $120. They sell old stock push button microwaves from the 80s and 90s for hundreds. Ones that were originally $59 at Walmart. And they stand behind nothing they sell. Watches that last two weeks…too bad for you.
I love my Foreman grill!
If it could do two sunny side/over easy eggs at the same time maybe, but it's rare that I only cook a single egg. Seems easier to just toss a couple eggs in a warm pan and turn it off with a lid over it or something if you really want to be able to walk away. With a few more customizable options though, this could be really useful for a lot of people. Maybe they could make a double unit or something with a few more options. I'm also curious how much egg size changes the results.
Unless you let the unit cool down to the same temp between uses, the extra heat to start with may be making the difference in how well it works.
The price - puts it outside what I'm willing to pay. I've already got a microwave, so I got some microwave egg cookers that were $6 each and they let me select how well done the eggs are by the timer and power setting on the microwave. If I want poached eggs, I put a little water in the bottom and if I want fried eggs I put a little oil in the bottom. They turn out just right every time. And they're dishwasher safe.
Almost forgot - Great channel!
Totally agree about the heat. Love the concept; not the price point. Sometimes I don’t want to heat up the stove for a simple/light meal
Edit: After watching this I got it. Here's my observations:
PREHEAT IT!
I usually let it run a cycle on setting 3, then after that, sunny side up makes the perfect dipping eggs every time. Usually I can get 2 done by the time the toast is up and ready to be done. Requires very little cleanup, and takes up very little space so when I get home from work, I can make a quick 2 eggs and toast without any hassle and enjoy the rest of my free time before bed. No pans, no messy butter, no dishes, no fuss. Worth it to me.
I just use canola oil nonstick spray, small spurt to each side. I also do like the indent that keeps the yolk in the center.
Original Comment: I like this. Much cleaner than microwaving an egg in a ceramic mug which is what I do when I need a quick egg made.
I can definitely see the merit of a gadget like this. I often have a single egg with a meal. It's all about attention span. It's easy to cook an egg but you've got to watch it the whole time and possibly flip it. To just not be able to think freeze you up to prepare other food items. I use a mini frying pan and a lid but you have to watch it that whole time.
Yep ADHD meal tax is real.
I often make a single egg sandwich in the mornings, it literally takes a minute to cook the egg. And more then enough time to get a plate and bread out while cooking it.
This device is made for dorm kids with no kitchen stove, or someone in a camper / semi truck.
The whole time? All couple minutes? Geez, what an inconvenience.
@@misterhat5823problem is the last half minute where the egg can go from runny to firm at the blink of an eye. I would have liked to see him make a lightly scrambled sandwich egg or maybe try something different it wasn't designed for, being the one trick pony it is.
You know you can just use a timer.
As a mom of an autistic ADHD child, mornings can be VERY hectic. I've burned breakfast too many times to count due to having to address issues with my son. This product would be a wonderful way to cook eggs in the mornings (which my son adores). It seems to be a "set it and forget it" kind of thing and most mornings, that's eggactly what I need.
Seriously I think this product is actually one of the best ones you have reviewed in the last few years! It does have a place in the kitchen of busy moms, dads and those with mobility issues as well. I think its really an eggcellent product.
Yes. I was kinda confused on how seemingly down on it he was during the whole test.
I’ve cooked eggs in a breakfast restaurant before and the 1st sunny side up egg definitely was not done . And all the other eggs looked way over cooked. I know u do review’s but you should do a little homework on some of these gadgets you review. Quite a few things you review you seem to be doing it WRONG. You should check out how to how it’s done
mobility issues? if you can't cook an egg in a pan, you can't cook an egg in this contraption.
@@america1st721 I’m guessing you have yet to be blessed with mobility issues. I don’t mean that to sound curt. I learned quickly how mobility issues can suddenly be restrictive in the kitchen. Living alone post stroke & back surgery makes it difficult to stand for long periods of time; even 10 minutes can be an eternity. Gadgets like this can set on the table. 🙂
@@aclarkkent12010Not to sound curt either but If this device helps you live a fuller and easier life, then contact your Dr and insurance company to get it covered and any other devices that would help anybody live a better life. I'm all in. I'm fat but out of being lazy and have full function of all my limbs, eyes, hearing and full coordination.
It's small and not as messy as a skillet, I like it! Please keep testing.
Eggs aren't particularly hard to cook and I'm not generally a fan of gadgets taking up counter space, especially not single-purpose ones, but I'm also blind and like how easy this makes it to just prep an egg.
Never even thought of that aspect of it! You are so right. Thanks for adding your comment.
I mean technically it is one of the better egg cookers you've tested
Performed 5/6 perfectly, redid one and it worked perfectly.. but on the fence? Seems like a good purchase for someone without a stove who eats eggs daily.
Ya but too bad it only makes 1 egg at a time. @@slagdemon
eggcellent, but a question, is this for people that live in vans?
@@slagdemon So would a hot plate unless you're that lazy and eat just eggs and nothing else.
@@greekre No people in a van have better options.
I first commented before the video was over about there not being an over easy setting between the sunny side up and ½ runny yolk. But then I finished the video, and it looks like the sunny side up setting after being preheated will give you over easy. SWEET!
Thanks for the review James. Sounds like an OK product. I used to cook my eggs using my steamer for 20 minutes in the morning while I got ready to go to work.
I don't like yolks completely liquid, so 1/2 runny looked good.
But fried eggs need that wonderful, crispy, golden brown and delicious edge that this cooker doesn't provide, so it's not for me.
I’m disabled and love fried eggs but my hands jump too much to cook them. This would be perfect for us.
However that spatula it requires could be a little tricky. Have you tried the little one egg skillets?
Ad a more accurate timer, the ability to select egg size and a preheat function along with "current temp sensing" and this thing will be awesome. As is it's a $25 gadget.
Not he was supposed to let it cool down before uses, to test the timer... if u want to do multiple eggs u will have to adjust the timer, like put sunny side up if u want runny ..the machine is using a timer not a temperature gage
@@nomanejane5766no because the first one took 3 minutes cold and then warmed up only 2:34
Add
thanks for the review. Much appreciated! I don’t have issues with standing, but I don’t like standing (if that makes sense) and I prefer well done eggs. So for me, I would be using setting 3-6 (probably 4-6) with no complaints. I have an egg steamer/poacher, omelette maker and poker/slicer. I love gadgets. It’s loud enough to overcome my speakers, so win-win-win all around. Ordered one and I believe it will be a well used gadget.
Thanks
Tom
Gadget arrived and functions/performs as expected. Tried on setting 4 and setting 5. I wouldn’t call it a fried egg because it doesn’t get that crispy brown bottom that I like - but it does thoroughly cook the yolk, which is what I wanted.. And setting 5 is perfect for breakfast sandwiches. Link below is picture of setting #4. Beep is loud, unit turns off. It does what I want.
[img]i.imgur.com/oCWYZpIt.jpg[/img]
Link is broken. C’est la vie.
It would be nice if you could cook 2 eggs on the other settings (like setting #5), not just the last one. Being able to tweak the time would also be handy.
I'm sure you can try two eggs on a lower setting just have to see how it turns out with the less cook time. The heating element likely only has one heat seting and each different option comes down to total time cooked as demonstrated in the video.
All they needed to do was add a manual setting and it would be far more versatile.
@@Freakinreviews Maybe if they make an updated version, they'll add that feature. I could see using one if it had that feature.
Just set your own time
I always enjoy your videos, thanks for posting!!
I hope you had a big bowl of grits to enjoy all those running eggs 🥚 with!!
Central Florida here, grits are a staple!! 🤗
What a great review....I subscribed after seeing this video!
I really giggled thru this. Thanks!
Someone may have said this already but I don't see why if it's not fully cooked you can't just close it up. Start the timer again on any setting and just lift it up a few seconds later. Whatever you want. I like sunny side up.
I got this one. I got the newer version and I do like it and really like that I don't have to clean a pan. I also cook 2 at once
Might be good in the morning when you are rushing to get ready for work. Throw an egg in, get coffee going, get dressed, grab food, out the door.
Maybe, but there are cheaper options, not to mention, if you're weary of time or set a timer, this could be done with a pan.
@@SoccerT001some people dont like to walk away from a pan
I think it's good for people at college where they may have limited kitchen access at times.
@@alexdavis9324 whats the difference between walking away from a pan or walking away from an electric appliance pulling a constant 1500 watts?
Just wake up earlier or prepare the food the day bevor? Never understand people who rush to work intentionally. Just wake up earlier, less stress in the morning
I like that product. That's a perfect way to get an egg or two cooked for an egg salad sandwich. It's flat so it's easy to chop up. There's no waiting for water to boil nor peeling of eggs after an ice bath. The egg white doesn't look fried. Minimal cleanup. If you just want an egg to snack on for a hangover it seems perfect. I want to buy this right now tbh. Seems like 3:13 is the perfect cook time for a poached style egg. This is a dream for a busy morning breakfast sandwich. I bet you can toast a muffin (already stuffed with ham and cheese) in there right before or after the egg and hit the road in a pinch. I'm getting hungry...
I got this one and use it daily. I love the setting '1/2 runny yolk'😛
Bailey always wants dibs on the food
Indeed, cooked eggs are good for domestic dogs, and cats as a treat. There wild counterparts eat them raw shells and all.
Way back when me and my brother were kids our dog used to eat Easter eggs. The first year we had her, we didn’t know she ate one and we spent an extra 45 minutes trying to find the missing egg 😂😂. We saw her straight up eat one from my brothers basket and that’s when we realized she ate the missing egg.
Of course. She's the certified food inspector of the house 😂
For a single person or maybe a couple who are on the go alone this would be nice. Or better yet college dorm this would be a good thing for quick egg sandwiches.
My son loves eggs and he had me teach him how to cook all his favorite things with eggs.
He would have a fried egg sandwich for every meal and not bother him a bit lol.
I do wonder if you sprinkled bacon bits or a few slices of ham under the egg if it would mess up the timing bit it could be useful in certain situations.
Oh another good idea. It could easily be packed in suitcase for folks who have to work away from home.
My hubby occasionally has to go out of state for a good 7 to 10 days for installation of their big relay boxes or to troubleshoot problem installation.
He often complained about the hotel breakfast.
Most times there is a microwave and fridge in the room and something like this might come in handy.
I bet you could cook a veggie burger or frozen burger in there too if you had to . Just a few ideas 💡
Looks useful, but $40 is quite expensive for what it does
Agreed. I could see it as a hit for $20 Black Friday deal.
I agree. It's overpriced for what it does. Somewhere around the $25 range would be more inline with what other small convenience cookers like the small waffle maker or cheese sandwich maker are priced at.
I use dash mini pancake maker for my egg in the morning. Perfect size for English muffin. I also make sausage Pattie’s too.
This should definitely be a $20 price point item. And something tells me that within a year at the most, it will be.
@@tammyhowington8396Does that have a timer on it?
Thank you for this comprehensive review.. our wellness app at work allows us to earn points for Amazon cards..i cashed in some points and ordered..i should get it today. I already have one of those egg steamers for "boiled" eggs.. This will be great for making homemade breakfast sandwiches.. Can't wait to try! Really Enjoy your review videos.
Bought this after seeing your review. My wife laughed at me but loves it now. Works great for me
I paid around $50 for a good quality hybrid pan, which is useful for a lot stuff other than just frying eggs. Like most of these kitchen gadgets, it's a one trick pony (and it doesn't really do it that well)
Straight to the boneyard imo
Thank you for another good video
PS I hope you all have a nice weekend
don't forget to figure in the cost of the cook top or range....can't do much with a pan without the heating up bit. Now an electric frying pan on the other hand , that's a bit more flexible of a device.
@@markbajek2541 Most people have a stove. And if you cant afford a stove you dont have $40 for a frivolous product like this.
You already have your buddy to share your eggs. I'm sure Baily would love to have an egg or two!
My Dash grill (at less than a third of the cost) does a great job on eggs and is easy to monitor the progress but can only do one at a time. That last attempt at the sunny side up setting was exactly how I like my eggs. I would've liked to see two eggs at a lower setting so the yolks stay runny.
did you give the dogs a few of the eggs after? my dog loves eggs. def agree with you on a custom timer setting, that would've been perfect.
My friend has one of these and makes omelets and pancakes in it too.
She had to play around with amounts and the settings but finally got it right.
She sent it to college with her son and he loves it.
Genius!
This would be great for breakfast sandwiches using the broken yolk setting. Perfect egg for an English muffin!
Also fantastic for anyone that can't cook at a stove for any reason.
I wouldn't need one, though - If it's eggs I'm usually doing soft scramble, crispy-fried sunny side up, or practicing a French omelette which may or may not become a soft scramble.
Fun and informative video. I will stick with my regular Egg Pan. By watching it, I can easily get the desired doneness for my mood at the time. I hope Bailey enjoyed the eggs to help keep her luxurious coat bright and shiny.
Wouldn't be Freakin' Reviews without some egg gadgets! LFG! 😜😜
Well it does keep the yolk in the center. 🙂👍
maybe it does need a warm-up on the first setting then try a sunny side up?? I'm going to get it and try it!! thanks for the review!!
Seems like it does what it says it does. Nothing i need but it looks ok. Thanks for the video
If it beeped at around 2:48 seconds it was most likely designed to operate on AC power cycling at 50Hz, in the United States we use 60Hz so clocks designed for 50Hz actually run a bit faster... by about 20%.
dorm cookery.
kind of a shame you didn't try a mixed egg. because i bet that would work great for sandwhich eggs.
Eggs are a beautiful specimen of food.
Unmatched versatility
"Guaranteed Results!"
"Good results?"
"Let's not get too cocky"
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love that you did the first one over.
8:08 - Now THAT is how I like my eggs!
This would come in handy to use in my office at work. For the days I'm running late and didn't have time to cook or get some breakfast.
I might have just found my new egg cooker, but is it truly set-it-and-forget-it? Does it stop cooking after the timer goes off?
Not sure why you're on the fence about this one. Seemed to work perfectly. I can also see making pancake buns with this for homemade McGriddles 😋
I think true sunny side up is somewhere between the first and the second attempt.
The yoke has to shine through bright orange/yellow like the sun.
The second one had the yoke muted too much. The first attempt hat too much of the white stuff uncooked still.
I've never ordered or cooked a half or fifth runny egg. Over easy, over medium, over hard, and a few others
Can you try making scrambled in it? Tyvm, love your channel.
The Dash Griddle cooks a fried egg very well, but I am preferring my AllClad small frying pan these days.
It's small easy to pack, might be good when going on a trip. At home I would use my frying pan.
I like my egg whites over cooked and my yokes runny. I usually separate the yoke and add it after the whites are nice crispy around the edges if I'm doing it in a pan. If I'm in a hurry, the microwave, 45 seconds works just fine and I'd save $40 bucks.🍳😊
I think this product has its place in certain sectors. Dorm room or someone who travels for extended stays in hotels maybe. I’m thinking it may be nice for a young adult out on thier own for the first time. Maybe. But I wouldn’t give $40 for one unless it was a gift I was giving. Nice review as always!
I would use it pretty much daily
Eggs are what keeps me alive 😅
And tbh is not a joke, eggs have all the vitamins human needs except for the C which you can drink mixing a bit of lemon juice in watter
I just make mine in a frying pan...3 at a time and come out great!
I like it. Especially for traveling. It does what it says. A little expensive but besides that, just let it preheat and you're good to go.
I Love Freakin' Reviews Videos 💗
I won't get it since I fear I would be eating way too many eggs. Looks very convenient. Wonder if you could replace the grease with melted butter? My bet is you can. :)
Great idea for the young cooks in the family, a much better option to cook an egg than using the Easy Bake Oven.
Nice device but is a slower cooker and is super expensive . Did you try scramble eggs?
This is the first egg gadget I actually want. I have heII making over easy (runny yolk) fried eggs. I mangle them🤣
I bet Bailey is ready to help you eat up those eggs!! And eggs are great for a shiny, healthy coat on a dog!!
#TeamFeedBaileyTheEgg
Oh James, once again, you ARE the eggman! Great video as always 👍 Happy Saturday 🎉
I cook egg in my dash pancake maker ; I bought one for my 87yo dad and he loves it too for cooking egg.
I have one of the earlier models. It doesn't have the dip in the middle. They must have never changed the instructions after they improved it. It cooks the yolk usually to one side. I took it to a hotel that charges for breakfast and it works great in the room.
That and the Dash waffle maker is good for RV's. It does what it says. and you can't mess up.
The second egg was perfect for me. Guess I'd better start saving my pennies 'cause I am terrible at making fried eggs.
You’re not terrible you just haven’t made enough.
Am I the only one here that doesn't really eat eggs but hoping to get a snippet of Bailey? Love you too J :)
I bought this, Nostalgia MyMini Personal Electric Griddle. I'm going to try it just using the time from your cooker. It's half the price.
As you pointed out, one is stuck with their settings. One work-around would be to vary the temperature of the eggs: right out of the refrigerator, the eggs might be less cooked than at room temperature. Another way to have them be more runny eggs is to let the uncracked eggs pre-soak in water for 1 hour so they are rehydrated to the fullest.
I hope he tests setting 1 again after setting 6 and then compare the two eggs cooked at setting 1 - my guess the second egg will be a lot more cooked as the unit is now warm
Excellent! Thanks for doing that last test !
Don't you hate having to watch videos all the way to the end to find out that's exactly what happened.
@@markbajek2541 yeah, I tend to comment as I’m watching along 😁 thank goodness comments can be updated !
Keeping my mini dash egg cooker!😁
I need between setting 1 and 2. I prefer to use a pan but this could be good for food at work / in the office
You remind me of a neighbor that recently passed away. It was hard watching this video. Great review and thumbs up.
Can you also buy the dash mini pancake maker for $13 an compare the 2 using the same time allotments? I don't want to spend $40 if I can get the same results with a cheaper product and the timer on my cell. Also can we get the same or close results using an airfryer and mini silicone or parchment paper cups, if we know the temperature the eggs fry at?
I like that it makes the eggs perfectly round. It’s great for making breakfast sandwiches. Still, there are cheaper options for that. $25-30 is the highest I’d go.
Pity they aren’t available in the UK. I’d make room for one of these in my little kitchen corner. I’d be curious to find out what happens if you put in 2 eggs and cook them on, say, ‘1-egg well done’ setting. Do the 2 eggs come out with softer yolks?
I've used The griddle maker which is similar to the waffle maker mini. The egg maker is a good idea for those who have a tendency to forget that they put something on and it shuts off automatically. That might be worth the $40. Other than that, The griddle does the same thing.
Egg temperature before cooking influences cook time. Was the egg temp the same for first and last test?
This might be a good product for me. In my house (5 people) it can be hard to find the right pan and lid when I want to make an egg or two and I would eat more eggs if it were simple like this. It probably would have been better to just have a strait adjustable timer so you could just make it what you want. Like eggs can cook differently if they are small, large or extra large so in my case I buy extra large eggs and after a few uses (timed) I would know the perfect setting and would likely write it on the unit with a silver sharpe.
It cooks smart eggs? Maybe the egg did come first. 😄
Ok, no more jokes 😀
I agree with you, I don't know why the first one was underdone, but I think it needs to be pre-heated (like you said).
The second one already had a pre-heated surface, so it may have been slightly overdone.
Yep, the second run of sunny side was better when warm.
$40 to cook one egg?
Immediately went to a no after that
I can get a single egg pan for like four dollars from Meijer
A bargain if you can write off lol
@326th i bet there's lead in em
I’d pay this guy $40 to dance for me
I'll keep using my skillet. Might use it as I get older though. Great review, James. 🤗
That “tool” is basically a rice scooper 😂
I still use and love my old cast iron. It’s faster to use and can cook more than 1 at a time!
Just what a growing family needs, a device to cook one egg at a time. 60 minutes later. Dad, where’s my breakfast?. 😂
I always look for how the clean up is before I even look at any reviews on the cooking experience. If I can't clean it when the plates can be removed then the rest doesn't matter to me. I also do not see my option for OEM on the unit; I dislike sunny side, but I like dippy eggs. It looks intriguing though. Can you stop the cycle such as if you run 1 twice to get my version of eggs? Or are you forced to be there for the full time?
Not for Pennsylvania folks. We call Sunny-side up “dippy” eggs because we dip toast in the yolk. 😂
How easy is it to clean? Does the cooking tray come out or is it just one unit?
2:34, a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg.
I'm going to try this with my Dash mini griddle. Just for the Hell of it.
There should be a setting between the first and second. That was perfect
Lots of eggs for Bailey. 😊
How’s the weather in Las Vegas? There has been no summer in London this year
Would you mind trying cooking a scrambled egg in it to see if it makes a nice omelette patty?
I hope you gave Bailey some of those. 🙂
Looks like a great product, does what it says, should be good if you use the sunny side up mode without contents just to preheat it, but personally it would not be used in my house. We all eat sunny side up, so imagine making 3 x eggs for 3-4 people, it would take ages.
