Maverick SEC-2 HENRIETTA HEN EGG COOKER | 7 Egg Capacity Electric Egg Maker for Hard, Soft & Poached Eggs

Love this little clucker - though, as noted by another reviewer, it doesn't actually cluck or cheep - it beeps. Eggcellent product - does exactly what it says it will do and does a great job. I have a couple of eggs for breakfast most mornings and it's so nice to put them in Henrietta and know that they'll be perfect and I don't have to keep an eye on them or wonder if they're done. Hint: warm the eggs for a few minutes in the shell in a bowl of hot water, before using them for poached - that way the egg white will cook more quickly and you won't over-cook the yolks.I've been using Henrietta for a couple of months now and use it 3-4 times a week. Just this morning I whipped up a batch of scrambled eggs with ham and cheese. Just put the mixture evenly into the egg poaching tray, be sure to spray with cooking spray, and cook on the hardboiled egg "setting". Fantastic! I usually turn it on when I get into the shower and they're done by the time my hair is dry. Pop them into a container to take with me to work for breakfast at my desk.Still love it - still works beautifully - wouldn't cook my soft or hard boiled eggs any other way. They always come of perfect and they always come out of the shell easily.

I first made 4 poached eggs. You are instructed to fill water to the second "oval" on the bottom of the base. My husband likes soft poached, I like firmer poached. Even for him, the eggs were liquid. What I will do different next time: fill water to the third oval, then disconnect when it gives its alarm, and cover with a towel. It has steam holes on the top. This should keep it warm and help it to stabilize until we are ready to eat.I made 3 hard-boiled eggs. I did as instructed and filled to the third oval for hard-boiled eggs. I used the pin on the base to poke the big ends of the eggs - it doesn't leak, and cooked as instructed. Once the alarm sounded, I disconnected and then put a towel on top for a few minutes until I was ready to eat. The eggs were perfect hard boiled and in a short amount of time.I definitely like this and will use it a lot. It is simple enough my husband can use it. It is easy to clean, as always, wipe the base out with a clean towel but don't submerge.PS My cat isn't allowed on the countertop, but she had to investigate the sound. It doesn't cluck, but it makes a small alarm clock type of noise.

My entire family loves this as a functional tool and its adorable clucking. I wish for 2 features: 1) A power switch. Plugging it in turns it on, so I fear I can’t leave it unattended without unplugging it too. 2) The images showed a lowered reservoir for different water levels needed for different cooking. The one I received has a single level water reservoir with an external cup and a guide I had to put on the fridge. Overall I love it and would 100% buy again or send as a gift. It’s very cute when it clucks, and the timing in the recipe booklet is perfect. The built-in egg poker is good quality. Just put eggs in as I cook the rest of my meal, and they finish without much effort.

It works good and cooks the egg the way you like them

Used this cooker CONSTANTLY and it lasted for two years. My one gripe: 7 eggs can get a bit crowded if you use med to large eggs. In other words, ideal for one - three person household (otherwise you might want a larger cooker)...... Would make a great gift! Kinda Yelps when you turn it off. Really cute.

The media could not be loaded. Fans of the Hoboken Chicken Emergency (1977 book by Daniel Pinkwater) rejoice! Henrietta has reappeared, and now she makes perfect steamed eggs. She does not weigh 266 pounds, nor does she go down playground slides, but she is cute and extremely functional. In my estimation, an egg steamer needs to include the following: a built-in pin to poke the eggs, an auto shutoff, and a chime to tell you that the eggs are done. Henrietta has all of these things and more. The pin to poke the eggs is built into the tray that holds the eggs so it can’t get lost. The handles of the egg tray and the cover are part of the tail - a nice design choice. There is a measuring cup included, and it has embossed markings that won't wear off over time (has been an issue with a cheaper model). The cup also has a poker on the bottom in case you want to use that instead of the poker in the egg tray. And, best of all, she Clucks/Crows when the eggs are done (see video)!!!!! This makes me ridiculously happy. I purchased the 14-egg model because it was available in yellow and was less expensive than the white 7-egg model - it can easily be used with 7 eggs rather than 14 by just removing the plastic sleeve and the extra tray. Only small improvement I would make would be to emboss or paint lines for different amounts of water in the reservoir so that there would not be need for a separate measuring cup (I used to have an egg cooker that had this - Zojirushi does this with their rice cookers). Lines for 7 eggs hard-boiled or soft-boiled would be enough. I highly recommend getting an OXO egg slicer to go with Henrietta - you’ll be wanting to make and eat a LOT of hard boiled eggs just hear her cluck.
