You forgot to mention how fast the earth spins where I live. If we
apply your logic, there is no point in sizing anything. After all,
not all size 10 men's shoes manufactured by the same manufacturer will
be the same size on any given day nor will they fit the same men the
same way every day.

That's fine. I'm arguing with Nancy now. It's my duty to rid the
world of useless cooking gadgets (as I see them) ;-)

You have shitty electric service and a shitty UPS meter. I have a
transformer in my yard (everybody here has half a transformer in
their yard). I consistently get 117/234, rain, wind, show, and
gloom of night. Which is what your lines should read.

If you know how to make eggs on the stove then why are you buying
ANOTHER cooker in the first place? And paying extra for next day
shipping?

A dozen years back I was losing light bulbs in the bathroom in the
morning. I put a meter on it and got 160 volts. Seems like a substation
two miles from me was cranking up in the morning in anticipation of a
few factories starting up and they caused the over voltage. Never
happened again once I notified them.

That's what the neighborhood transformers (on the poles or in the
yards) are for - stepping down the supplied high voltages to useful
household voltages. They should always output fairly consistent
voltages and amps regardless of the intake voltages/amps - except in
the case of large sudden power spikes.

I guess in that first second or so they could still fail to adjust
quick enough to blow out some bulbs. But transformers are usually
better than that these days. But factories need more amps rather
than higher voltages <shrug>

You giving up your island?

Sqwerts, there is NO timer on the cooker. At least on the Oster and Sunbeam cookers,
the degree of doneness is determined by the amount of water that is put in the bottom.
When the water is gone (turned to steam), the cooker turns off. Do a little research
before you criticize.

I think not... I've hard cooked darn close to a million eggs in a pot
of water (four gross at a time), no problems... natcherly they could
take all they want, eat all they take, and peel em themselves... funny
how the rebels filled their pockets for snacking later. Don't know
where they got hot sauce as I had none in the food locker, their
mommies must have mailed it. Them southerners just loved hot sauce,
they'd eat everything with hot sauce, well not pussy, that would burn,
probably with bbq sauce.

If someone wants or needs to use an egg cooker it's fine with me. I
just boil them in a saucepan then run cold water over them. But... I
try NOT to make hard boiled eggs. I'm not a fan of devilled eggs and
things like that.

The other night I cooked three eggs, no more than medium boiled (one was
still slighly runny) for dinner. Spooned the eggs from the shells into
a coffee mug, with butter and S&P added. Mom called it egg-a-cup. It's
something she made for my breakfast when I was a very little girl. I
still enjoy it. I toasted a slice of bakery sourdough bread, lightly
buttered. It hit the spot.

We all have our preferences. I don't like egg salad or devilled eggs so
I never purposefully set out to hard boil them.

yes, i happened to be eating egg salad (eggs, mustard,
miracle whip, sliced up homemade dill pickles and pickle
juice) when i read this for brunch.

i don't usually make egg salad the same way every-
time, but it does tend to stay in the themes of diced
onions, green olives, sweet or sour pickles or both
and then mustard, mayo or mw, sometimes i make toast
but more often than not i just eat it without the
bread and butter.

I used to love them and used to take them to work with my lunch. After a
couple years of having them almost every day I got tired of them and
haven't had one on years. I have made deviled eggs a few times. I don't
think I have every made an egg salad sandwich for myself. I don't know why.

Then the timer, in this case, involves carefully measuring water
into a graduated a tube - even more complicated than just turning a
dial.

I think both of missed the point. It's still a timer.

Egg salad on toast...any kind of bread, but I love it on rye...is really tasty, if
one likes egg salad. ;-))

N.

Sqwertz, you still don't know what you are talking about. There is no "careful measuring
into a tube." The base of the cooker has levels marked. One for soft and poached, and
another for hard boiled. I take a cup of water to the cooker and pour it in until it reaches
the required ring. Then I put the lid on and push in the Start button, and walk away. When the button
pops out with a click, the eggs are done.

What I don't have to do is retrieve a pan and fill it with water and add eggs and watch for it
to boil, time th cooking, and then turn it off, and drain the hot water, and cover the eggs with cold water (or
whatever method of which you ARE an expert), wait for the eggs to cool enough to handle,
drain the water and then peel and do whatever with them.

The cooker requires no pot, no large amounts of water, no watching, and no draining. The
cooker is so much easier.

You have taken a position with no knowledg of the small appliance we are talking about, and
that position is one of ignorance about that appliance, and now are too stubborn to quit
and say you were mistaken. It's a sorry position.

Eggs done as you describe are perhaps my most favorite way to prepare
them. I don't do it all that often since it requires more effort than
over easy. Hard boiled eggs are not something we do often unless using
up some eggs. They do travel well on road trips in a ziplock with salt
and pepper added to the bag.

The rye I get is much too firm for egg salad. Biting into it would cause
the egg salad to squirt out the sides and back.

I prefer fresh white bread, untoasted.

If I want to use hard-boiled eggs, I generally make salad nicoise. However,
sometimes I just get a craving for egg salad or deviled eggs.

I wouldn't bother making egg salad with less than a half dozen eggs.
I add very finely minced celery, usually some minced fresh dill or
else dried, and Hellmans Sandwich Spread, sometimes a bit of
horseradish for bite. We like egg salad on saltines, a dab of caviar
makes it supreme.

Still speaking of HB eggs.... Does anyone remember the hard boiled
eggs with Russian (or French) dressing from the 50's - the mid 70's?
They appeared on menus at Woolworth's all the way up top semi-fine
dining.

That was my brunch today.

https://i.postimg.cc/CKL9jXRt/Hard-B...n-Dressing.jpg

I peeled 8 eggs in 37 seconds using the boil method. No gadgets
required.

I don't remember that dish but dang it, I'm going to have boil eggs tomorrow
to top a bunch of salad ingredients I bought today. All this talk of eggs,
egg cookers, boiling water, etc. has sent my craving into high gear.

I'm not mistaken at all. My mother used to have an egg cooker, as I
implied in a previous post. I had used it a couple times and was
glad when I accidentally dropped it on the floor and broke it. As
it wasn't taking up valuable counter space and I didn't have to drag
it out of the cupboard when she needed it. Using the egg cooker is
no more convenient than using a pan. And the pan is infinitely more
useful.

I think we can call this argument over, if not a truce.

I'll agree to a truce, with a couple final points: it takes a lot more water to boil eggs on top the stove, and a pot to do it with takes up more space in a cupboard than an egg cooker. Second, it takes a lot more energy to boil a pot of water than it does for a cooker to do its thing.

There, I'm finished. ;-)

If you had an automatic rice cooker you could probably do the same thing. Use a steamer basket and the same amount of water. It is unfortunate that my daughter threw out my beautiful rice cooker else I would be steaming eggs at this very moment.

OK, fine, I'll argue this some more since you brought up energy vs.
cost of egg cooker....

I much prefer an ordinary pot for cooking rice... and I can use the
same pot to boil eggs, and I do... that 2 qt Farberware pot is the
only pot that lives on my stove... that one pot is used to cook many
other things.

BTW, I can't only read a small portion of your's and nancy2's posts...
one day yoose may fix your word wrap... how ironic that yoose are
touting automatic cookery.

Wait until you see a post by Greg Morrow, where he quotes an entire
article with endless lines. Screen pollution.
