Review: Egg Wave - Page 2

Continued from Previous Page
When you remove the "scrambled" egg from the Egg Wave, you have to mash it up with a fork to approximate the appearance of real scrambled eggs. The poached eggs do bear some resemblance to real poached eggs, but only in the sense that the yolk is prominent in the center of the egg white.
Because when we say clump, we mean it. The shape of the Egg Wave eggs is sort of a miniature football or a ball of Silly Putty, about the diameter of a U.S. silver dollar. They look much smaller than eggs cooked the normal way (although of course one egg is one egg - it's just their shape that makes them appear smaller).
The Egg Wave, based only on what you've read so far, might, in fact, be worth using for some people. But there's another problem that makes us loathe to recommend the Egg Wave.
Only one of those four eggs we cooked the first day (we cooked many afterward, too) cooked in the microwave without, well, exploding.
"Exploding" may be too strong a word. Many things that cook in a microwave will produce loud pops as steam escapes. And the top of the Egg Wave cooker includes a valve that must be open during cooking, specifically to allow steam out.
But our very first Egg Wave attempt resulted in the top of the cooker (the cover that screws on) blowing off. Our second attempt did not result in the top blowing off, but a very loud pop occurred at one point and the Egg Wave jumped about a quarter-inch off the surface of the microwave. The omelet cooked without problems. But for the scrambled, the Egg Wave top blew off and the cooker toppled over on its side.
This didn't always happen, and we adjusted cooking times with some success. But it happened much too much for us to be comfortable continuing to use the Egg Wave, or recommending it to anyone else.
We also found the Egg Wave cookers a chore to clean up.
In the final evaluation, we just don't much of a reason to cook with the Egg Wave rather than making your eggs the old-fashioned way. They don't taste better, they don't look better, clean up is a mess, and you'll have things exploding in your microwave.
