Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used to buy egg bites at Costco, and you only get eight egg bites for $10. Now I can make my own and they taste even better than the store-bought. The instructions say to cook the egg bites for 8 to 10 minutes. I found that to be quite accurate as long as you wait for the water to start boiling. The instructions say that you do not need to use nonstick spray for the cups, but said that you could use it. I didn’t use any spray, and they pop right out. If they don’t pop out then they might not be done yet. Or if you let them sit in the pan for a while, then they might be a little bit difficult to get out, so it’s better to take them out right away. But to be careful because those little cups are very hot! I just turn them upside down on a big plate and they pop out. Then I turn them over and put cheese so it can melt. The instructions say to only fill the cup 3/4 of the way up to allow room for expansion. I did this on my first batch, and they did not rise to the top of the cup like expected. So the next batch I filled them almost all the way to the top. They came out just fine, but the cheese that I put on top did kind of make contact with the upper plate and got cooked pretty well. I like that though. Keep in mind the more ingredients you put into the cup, the less egg you will fit. I found it best to put my ingredients in first and then pour the egg on top. The egg flows down and fills in all the gaps in between the ingredients. The instructions say to use two of the little cups to put water on the bottom, and then you place the cups on top of the water. You can see in the video how the steam rises up to help cook the eggs. The little cups are easy to clean by hand. I tend to drip little strings of cheese into the water and sometimes egg if it drops off of my cup as I pour. But that is still easy to clean up with paper towels when I’m done cooking. I put one in the freezer and ate it the next morning, and it was really good. So today I made another big bunch of them and froze half of them. I would love to get an extra set of cups so I can stage them to be ready when I pull one batch out. Just make sure you add water before you add the next load because the water does tend to evaporate. I can’t say enough how much I love this machine and how easy it is to use and how good the egg bites turn out. I thought they would be all spongy and gross, but they are absolutely wonderful! Do be careful when using this machine. It does get hot. Steam can burn you. The cups are hot when you remove them from the machine. I am really impressed with this machine.
