It is a convenient little gadget, Mar 30 2009
By sid's mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MSC International Egghead Microwave Egg Boiler - Boiley (Kitchen)
I think the suggested times are ok if you have a powerful microwave like me. Everyone here has had different experiences and the reason for that is that each brand of microwave functions a little differently and there is a noticeable difference between the higher and lower powered (wattage) ones, a fact that people do not appear to keep into account.I had bought the boiley a while ago but used it today for the first time. I needed a soft-boiled egg for my 11 month old because he does not like it any other way so far. I had seen some of the reviews here saying it takes longer than recommended so put it in the microwave for 4 minutes. It got medium done. On my particular microwave 3 minutes would be tops for a soft-boiled egg, which is very convenient because every time I put it on the stove, even with the "Norpro Egg Rite Egg Timer", I get busy with something else and forget to turn off the stove and take out the egg from the water so it does not overcook, at exactly the right time.
I gave it four stars because they have not given clear instructions for its usage. They should be more specific about it and state more clearly the approximate times based on the wattage of the particular microwave being used.
Other than that I am satisfied with the product. At first I was afraid of the egg exploding but that didn't happen. My guess is that people whose eggs explode may not be putting the right amount of water. When the water runs out in the cup, no moisture is left outside the egg so the shell gets overheated and explodes. But I am not a scientist so this is just an educated guess.

Very Dangerous, April 8 2009
By Sharon "seriously concerned" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MSC International Egghead Microwave Egg Boiler - Boiley (Kitchen)
This is a very dangerous gadget. My 5 year old loves Hard boiled eggs. We cooked 3 different eggs the first one worked the second was runny the third one my son was standing by the microwave and we heard a loud boom like a gun shot and the egg had totally exploded right before my son was going to open the door because time was up. If that would have blown up in his face he could have seriously been burned or injured. Please be careful, this product should be taken off the market.

It takes longer than stated, July 12 2007
By Seji "Life is beautiful" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MSC International Egghead Microwave Egg Boiler - Boiley (Kitchen)
According to the manual, it takes 3 minutes for soft, and 5 minutes for hard boiled eggs. This is completely wrong.I boiled a medium size egg for 5 minutes; yolk wasn't cooked at all.
6.5 to 7 minutes is for soft eggs, and 8-10 minutes will finally make hard boiled eggs. Timing can vary depending on the power level of your microwave.
Anyhow, it's easy and fun to boil eggs this way. Boiley sure looks cute!!
