The product does exactly what it says. Boiling eggs or poaching eggs using the given accessory is pretty easy. The ability to boil 8 eggs at a time is also very very handy especially when having boiled eggs for breakfast. You can pretty much put the eggs in the boiler and turn it on and then move away to your other chores. Come back to after a couple of minutes and you will find your eggs ready. Normally if there are no fine cracks on the eggs, it doesn't breaks. One thing though, the accompanied manual says to make a small hole at the top of the egg to prevent it from breaking open while boiling but on my usage, it makes for a mess. So better not do that. Also, clean the boiler immediately or else it can develop a brown layer. Also never put less water while boiling which may burn the eggshell from the bottom causing a burnt smell and taste in the egg. Overall this is a good egg boiler and highly recommended.
