 Super Convenient! Dec 26, 2009
By Melissa Zimmerman
""Mad Mel""
I take a small bowl, mix two large eggs with a splash of milk (don't over beat it, just get it mixed well) and pour it into the gray side of the container. Close the lid, and microwave it for a minute and a half (our microwave says it's 850 watts if that helps). The steam will cause a little bit of popping noise here and there. Some steam might shoot out from under the lid and onto the bottom of the microwave, but I haven't had any issues with egg splattering inside the microwave.
Before opening the thing, I flip it over and give it a gentle shake so the egg falls into the lid. Then I open it up and flip the egg onto some bread. This way I have better aim to get the egg on the bread instead of shaking it over the bread to get the egg out of the cooker. Not that its hard to get out, but that little bit of a shake can make your egg land off center of the bread. I'm just OCD enough that my egg must be centered. This thing is small enough that you can set your bread or muffin on top of the cooked egg and then flip.
As far as cleaning goes... a little bit of egg will be stuck to the inside of the cooker, but it's not baked on hard. It cleans out easily enough. Just wipe the egg out and toss the thing in the dishwasher. I haven't tried using cooking spray in it yet, but you might want to try it if you want this to be even easier to clean out.
It's just a nice, handy little microwave container that's really inexpensive. The way I do it, it makes a nice thick fluffy disc of egg which is perfect for making sandwiches. It's hot enough when you first take it out of the microwave that if you throw a slice of cheese on there it will melt enough to be tasty. It doesn't taste the same as frying an egg in a pan on the stove, but it's not supposed to, and it's not going to, and it's healthier than frying anyway.
Nordic Ware also makes a microwave egg broiler which can hard boil 4 eggs at a time in the microwave. If you like to hard boil eggs (or even soft boil them too) I would also recommend that product.

Perfect - Convenient - Tasty - FAST! Feb 20, 2012
By M. C. Hewins
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R35OSJXTTAGK3M This is an awesome product!It makes great fluffy quality eggs in under two minutes for a tasty egg muffin. Cooking time varies greatly by microwave wattage. It took me a few attempts to perfect the time. I have a 700 watt microwave so I cook mine for 1:45. My father has a 900 watt oven and cooks his for 1:15. So many microwave cooking items fail to meet expectations, but the Nordic Ware egg muffin cooker does what it claims. Egg quality tastes fabulous. Lots of possibilities for additions, like cheese. Super easy cleanup for this high performance convenience. Highly recommended!

Excellent quick (and no-mess) egg cooker. Aug 17, 2009
By MagnoliaSouth
"As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. -- Shakespeare"
This is very handy indeed and works like a charm. I'm not really sure what the problem was with Penmouse's cooker, but this one closes perfectly and leaves absolutely zero mess in the microwave. Not only that, but the cookware itself cleans up very easily. The egg literally just peels right out of the dish, which makes it very simple to use and is an added bonus when making your breakfast sandwich.
It does fit a muffin perfectly, but also just plain toasted bread. It is about the size of a piece of lunch meat.
I've added all kinds of veggies to it with great success, although if you add a lot of extras you should only use one egg instead of two, otherwise it will reach over the lip of the dish. You could experiment yourself just to be sure. It also warns you that any meat you wish to add should be cooked before cooking the egg because the cooking time for an egg is much faster than meat.
You can use two eggs but I would recommend that if you are using jumbo eggs, or adding a lot of extras, that you mix it in a bowl prior to putting it in the cookware dish. Two jumbo eggs alone nearly reach the lip of the dish, so it will get messy when trying to beat the eggs (but only when beating, not cooking). A bowl is a simple solution and works perfectly.
When using two jumbo eggs alone (with a little milk), the cooked eggs are light and fluffy and about an inch thick. It really does make an excellent breakfast sandwich.
This is my first Nordic Ware purchase and I've always stayed away from microwave cooking, but you can be assured that I'll start microwaving more often and I'll definitely be making more Nordic Ware purchases. I had no idea how easy this was.

BEAT EGG MAKER EVER Jul 05, 2011
By Mary A. Mount
I love this, I bought 2 of these. One for hubby & myself.
Spray the bottom lightly, mix your 1 egg & a touch of water, do not over stir.
I have a 1,000 watt microwave.
I cook on high 45 sec. stir & cook another 25 sec.
No sticking, just rinse & done.

 This Works With Large Eggs Jul 22, 2010
By Cal
"Cal"
I love the convenience of nuking my eggs and have purchased several different microwave egg cookers. This one is my favorite because you can add two large eggs and not have to worry about overflow. I actually prefer to poach/soft boil my eggs, so I put some water in before adding the eggs which I poke several times with a fork. I haven't quite figured out the timing - I usually end up with one soft boiled egg and one poached - but I'm okay with that. The only hitch is the plastic smell from heating this cooker in the microwave the first couple of times. It does diminish, but that definitely wasn't a pleasant discovery. These are also very easy to clean with soap, water, and a sponge. I would suggest cleaning them as soon as the eggs are removed because it will be a LOT easier.
