Maverick Henrietta Hen Egg Cooker - SEC-2  Product Reviews

"Hennrietta is cute, however, the cooker is too shallow and the water boils out over the sides. I eventually learned how much water to put back in and repeat the cooking, to get cooked eggs. Her "chirp" eventually reduced to an inaudible buzz and one day, blue electical arches danced from across her "body" into the puddle of water on the plate under her. Reluctantly, I had to throw her away."

"cooks soft boiled eggs perfectly every time. i use it daily and have put one at son's home for when i visit."

"There's nothing worse than having to find space for, and then digging out a small appliance every time you want to use it. Henrietta looks terrific sitting on the countertop, and because she's on the countertop, you will use her. She works great. Will hold seven large eggs just fine for hard or soft boiling. I tried jumbos and she will only hold 4 jumbos at a time as they are fatter eggs, but seven large eggs at a time is fine with me. She poaches four eggs perfectly, and here, you can use jumbos if you like. The water reservoir is clearly marked and once you use her, if you find that your eggs are not quite done enough or too done, adding more or less water the next time will take care of that. Actually, the first time I poached jumbos, I found that the eggs were still a bit too liquid for my taste; I added a bit more water to the cooker, plugged her back in, and the eggs were perfectly done in about another minute. When the water evaporates, she chirps loud enough for even someone who is hard of hearing (as I am). I love this cooker. First one I have ever owned. And because she looks cute sitting on the counter, I don't forget I have her; therefore, she gets used alot."
