The main advantage of a microwave egg cooker is consistency. Although we think of microwave cooking as being quicker, it may not be so in this case, since you have to fill up the cooker, put in the eggs, cook, and wait a bit for the cooker to cool down before handling it.

If you decide to get a microwavable egg cooker, you will probably have to experiment a few times to get the cooking time right. Different models of microwaves cook at different powers, and their size is a factor as well. Once you have found the proper settings, your eggs should come out as you like them consistently.

I must admit that when I first heard about these toaster egg cooker combo units, I figured they were a gadget. A neat idea, and cool looking, but I figured that after the novelty wears off, people would only use the toaster portion of these appliances. But to my surprise, a lot of the reviewers on Amazon seem to love them.
