No, this is not a recipe. From time to time, I will provide tips and ideas that I think are beneficial to anyone that is interested in cooking in any capacity from the beginner to the most expert chef. And one thing I’ve found that a lot of people sometimes have a problem with is getting the perfect boiled egg. It sounds easy does put the egg in water and boil on the stove and then let it cool and crack the eggs, remove the shell and either eat them or use them to make egg salad or some other dish.
The EggGenie
The problem is how long any of what temperature do you cook them for the perfect boiled egg? And what if you prefer a medium or soft boiled egg versus a hard boiled egg? Then you have to keep in mind everyone’s range and oven are a little bit different. They all vary to some extent. Some run hotter. Some run cooler and some have hot spots. This can make it so that what would be on one oven a hard-boiled egg would, on another one, be a totally different soft boiled egg. And if you know the difference between a hard-boiled egg and a softball and obviously one is harder and the other one comes out and the yolk breaks just like a liquid.
Well, rather than trying to figure out the different ranges, temperatures and boiling times there is a much easier way. And no I am not getting paid or endorsed here. I just happened to go to my local Ross’s department store and see some interesting items in the kitchen and culinary department. One of these happened to be the EggGenie. It was on sale for $4.99 and it might tip for today is if you want to have perfect Stated on the box that this was seen in TV infomercials. I think I vaguely remember having seen it years ago on TV. The idea looked simple and I figured it was worth a try.
Here the EggGenie is steaming some soft boiled eggs.
So I brought the EggGenie home and we gave it a try. It was far easier than cooking boiled eggs on the stove and interestingly it came with this little plastic shot glass that was measured for 1 to 7 eggs and had markings for soft medium and hard boiled. This made it foolproof to get the exact boiled eggs that you desire. Basically, the way it works is you fill in the aluminum pan inside it with the water from the plastic shot glass and this water will then turn into steam and cook the eggs. The unit turns off when all of the water has turned into steam and there’s none left. So obviously there is a lot less water used for a soft-boiled egg than for a medium or a hard-boiled egg.
The buzzer just went off and the eggs are now done.
Once the buzzer goes off you just remove the eggs and place them in cool water. Then they are ready to be used for whatever dish you were going to use the boiled eggs for. You can also just peel them and eat them yourself as is. My favorite is the soft boiled eggs and they are just so perfectly done with this contraption. So, my tip for today is if you want to have perfect soft, medium or hard-boiled eggs then you need to go and pick up one of these things at your local Ross’s department store (thesesame items are often times also carried by their sister stores T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s). For five dollars you won’t find a better egg maker.

I saw those things on TV, but I never knew they worked so well to boil eggs. I also didn’t know there were other kinds of boiled eggs (soft, medium and hard). My mother would just boil them in water on the stove for hours and then we would crack, peel and eat them.
