At last the search for the perfect egg poacher and toaster was going to be over. Well not so. First while the idea is so appealing that I was willing to cut the devise a good deal of slack an attribute the disappointing results to my mistakes! I found over time that it was not me but the devise.In my world, toast should be golden equally on both sides my experience with this toasters was one side done and the other too pale.Secondly the first three eggs that I tried to poach were to rubbery or to runny.The buttons on the front are nice, because you can push to toaster down again and then just push the cancel button to get it to pop up.The devise also takes up a good deal of room on the counter and to work with in at least in my space I have to pull it out and turn it cross wise. Back to the drawing board in my opinion.
