- Today I'm testing out the Hyvance Smart Egg Cooker, and trying out all 6 settings to see if it can actually perfectly fry an egg with the push of a button.

#eggs #egggadets #gadgets
These devices are very good for people with limited mobility who cannot stand at a stove and cook in a conventional way. Have shown my patients with limitations the smaller waffle maker, egg steamer, Geo. Foreman grills, and the breakfast sandwich maker. One or more of these devices have improved their quality of life.
Yep. My grandma stayed living alone, but she needed things like this in the kitchen. She liked making her stuff still but she couldn't stand long in the kitchen
This! I'm going to try to afford it
Thank you for pointing this out people like me who have major back issues would totally find this useful
They will be bought up by special needs catalogs and this $40 item will become $120. They sell old stock push button microwaves from the 80s and 90s for hundreds. Ones that were originally $59 at Walmart. And they stand behind nothing they sell. Watches that last two weeks…too bad for you.
I love my Foreman grill!
I can definitely see the merit of a gadget like this. I often have a single egg with a meal. It's all about attention span. It's easy to cook an egg but you've got to watch it the whole time and possibly flip it. To just not be able to think freeze you up to prepare other food items. I use a mini frying pan and a lid but you have to watch it that whole time.
Yep ADHD meal tax is real.
I often make a single egg sandwich in the mornings, it literally takes a minute to cook the egg. And more then enough time to get a plate and bread out while cooking it.
This device is made for dorm kids with no kitchen stove, or someone in a camper / semi truck.
The whole time? All couple minutes? Geez, what an inconvenience.
@@misterhat5823problem is the last half minute where the egg can go from runny to firm at the blink of an eye. I would have liked to see him make a lightly scrambled sandwich egg or maybe try something different it wasn't designed for, being the one trick pony it is.
You know you can just use a timer.
If it could do two sunny side/over easy eggs at the same time maybe, but it's rare that I only cook a single egg. Seems easier to just toss a couple eggs in a warm pan and turn it off with a lid over it or something if you really want to be able to walk away. With a few more customizable options though, this could be really useful for a lot of people. Maybe they could make a double unit or something with a few more options. I'm also curious how much egg size changes the results.
Unless you let the unit cool down to the same temp between uses, the extra heat to start with may be making the difference in how well it works.
The price - puts it outside what I'm willing to pay. I've already got a microwave, so I got some microwave egg cookers that were $6 each and they let me select how well done the eggs are by the timer and power setting on the microwave. If I want poached eggs, I put a little water in the bottom and if I want fried eggs I put a little oil in the bottom. They turn out just right every time. And they're dishwasher safe.
Almost forgot - Great channel!
Totally agree about the heat. Love the concept; not the price point. Sometimes I don’t want to heat up the stove for a simple/light meal
Eggs aren't particularly hard to cook and I'm not generally a fan of gadgets taking up counter space, especially not single-purpose ones, but I'm also blind and like how easy this makes it to just prep an egg.
Never even thought of that aspect of it! You are so right. Thanks for adding your comment.
Seriously I think this product is actually one of the best ones you have reviewed in the last few years! It does have a place in the kitchen of busy moms, dads and those with mobility issues as well. I think its really an eggcellent product.
Yes. I was kinda confused on how seemingly down on it he was during the whole test.
I’ve cooked eggs in a breakfast restaurant before and the 1st sunny side up egg definitely was not done . And all the other eggs looked way over cooked. I know u do review’s but you should do a little homework on some of these gadgets you review. Quite a few things you review you seem to be doing it WRONG. You should check out how to how it’s done
mobility issues? if you can't cook an egg in a pan, you can't cook an egg in this contraption.
@@america1st721 I’m guessing you have yet to be blessed with mobility issues. I don’t mean that to sound curt. I learned quickly how mobility issues can suddenly be restrictive in the kitchen. Living alone post stroke & back surgery makes it difficult to stand for long periods of time; even 10 minutes can be an eternity. Gadgets like this can set on the table. 🙂
@@aclarkkent12010Not to sound curt either but If this device helps you live a fuller and easier life, then contact your Dr and insurance company to get it covered and any other devices that would help anybody live a better life. I'm all in. I'm fat but out of being lazy and have full function of all my limbs, eyes, hearing and full coordination.
I mean technically it is one of the better egg cookers you've tested
Performed 5/6 perfectly, redid one and it worked perfectly.. but on the fence? Seems like a good purchase for someone without a stove who eats eggs daily.
Ya but too bad it only makes 1 egg at a time. @@slagdemon
eggcellent, but a question, is this for people that live in vans?
@@slagdemon So would a hot plate unless you're that lazy and eat just eggs and nothing else.
@@greekre No people in a van have better options.
As a mom of an autistic ADHD child, mornings can be VERY hectic. I've burned breakfast too many times to count due to having to address issues with my son. This product would be a wonderful way to cook eggs in the mornings (which my son adores). It seems to be a "set it and forget it" kind of thing and most mornings, that's eggactly what I need.
It's small and not as messy as a skillet, I like it! Please keep testing.
I’m disabled and love fried eggs but my hands jump too much to cook them. This would be perfect for us.
However that spatula it requires could be a little tricky. Have you tried the little one egg skillets?
Looks useful, but $40 is quite expensive for what it does
Agreed. I could see it as a hit for $20 Black Friday deal.
I agree. It's overpriced for what it does. Somewhere around the $25 range would be more inline with what other small convenience cookers like the small waffle maker or cheese sandwich maker are priced at.
I use dash mini pancake maker for my egg in the morning. Perfect size for English muffin. I also make sausage Pattie’s too.
This should definitely be a $20 price point item. And something tells me that within a year at the most, it will be.
@@tammyhowington8396Does that have a timer on it?
Someone may have said this already but I don't see why if it's not fully cooked you can't just close it up. Start the timer again on any setting and just lift it up a few seconds later. Whatever you want. I like sunny side up.
I'm with the crowd that likes the no splatter, no mess minimal cleanup aspect but also think it is way, way overpriced. I'll wait for the used ones to appear and for the inevitable knockoffs...
yolk /yōk/noun
The yellow internal part of a bird's egg, which is surrounded by the white, is rich in protein and fat and nourishes the developing embryo.
Ad a more accurate timer, the ability to select egg size and a preheat function along with "current temp sensing" and this thing will be awesome. As is it's a $25 gadget.
Not he was supposed to let it cool down before uses, to test the timer... if u want to do multiple eggs u will have to adjust the timer, like put sunny side up if u want runny ..the machine is using a timer not a temperature gage
@@nomanejane5766no because the first one took 3 minutes cold and then warmed up only 2:34
Add
Might be good in the morning when you are rushing to get ready for work. Throw an egg in, get coffee going, get dressed, grab food, out the door.
Maybe, but there are cheaper options, not to mention, if you're weary of time or set a timer, this could be done with a pan.
@@SoccerT001some people dont like to walk away from a pan
I think it's good for people at college where they may have limited kitchen access at times.
@@alexdavis9324 whats the difference between walking away from a pan or walking away from an electric appliance pulling a constant 1500 watts?
Just wake up earlier or prepare the food the day bevor? Never understand people who rush to work intentionally. Just wake up earlier, less stress in the morning
Thanks for the review James. Sounds like an OK product. I used to cook my eggs using my steamer for 20 minutes in the morning while I got ready to go to work.
I don't like yolks completely liquid, so 1/2 runny looked good.
But fried eggs need that wonderful, crispy, golden brown and delicious edge that this cooker doesn't provide, so it's not for me.
Bailey always wants dibs on the food
Indeed, cooked eggs are good for domestic dogs, and cats as a treat. There wild counterparts eat them raw shells and all.
Way back when me and my brother were kids our dog used to eat Easter eggs. The first year we had her, we didn’t know she ate one and we spent an extra 45 minutes trying to find the missing egg 😂😂. We saw her straight up eat one from my brothers basket and that’s when we realized she ate the missing egg.
Of course. She's the certified food inspector of the house 😂
I first commented before the video was over about there not being an over easy setting between the sunny side up and ½ runny yolk. But then I finished the video, and it looks like the sunny side up setting after being preheated will give you over easy. SWEET!
It would be nice if you could cook 2 eggs on the other settings (like setting #5), not just the last one. Being able to tweak the time would also be handy.
I'm sure you can try two eggs on a lower setting just have to see how it turns out with the less cook time. The heating element likely only has one heat seting and each different option comes down to total time cooked as demonstrated in the video.
All they needed to do was add a manual setting and it would be far more versatile.
@@Freakinreviews Maybe if they make an updated version, they'll add that feature. I could see using one if it had that feature.
Just set your own time
My friend has one of these and makes omelets and pancakes in it too.
She had to play around with amounts and the settings but finally got it right.
She sent it to college with her son and he loves it.
Genius!
Edit: After watching this I got it. Here's my observations:
PREHEAT IT!
I usually let it run a cycle on setting 3, then after that, sunny side up makes the perfect dipping eggs every time. Usually I can get 2 done by the time the toast is up and ready to be done. Requires very little cleanup, and takes up very little space so when I get home from work, I can make a quick 2 eggs and toast without any hassle and enjoy the rest of my free time before bed. No pans, no messy butter, no dishes, no fuss. Worth it to me.
I just use canola oil nonstick spray, small spurt to each side. I also do like the indent that keeps the yolk in the center.
Original Comment: I like this. Much cleaner than microwaving an egg in a ceramic mug which is what I do when I need a quick egg made.
Eggs are a beautiful specimen of food.
Unmatched versatility
You already have your buddy to share your eggs. I'm sure Baily would love to have an egg or two!
I like that product. That's a perfect way to get an egg or two cooked for an egg salad sandwich. It's flat so it's easy to chop up. There's no waiting for water to boil nor peeling of eggs after an ice bath. The egg white doesn't look fried. Minimal cleanup. If you just want an egg to snack on for a hangover it seems perfect. I want to buy this right now tbh. Seems like 3:13 is the perfect cook time for a poached style egg. This is a dream for a busy morning breakfast sandwich. I bet you can toast a muffin (already stuffed with ham and cheese) in there right before or after the egg and hit the road in a pinch. I'm getting hungry...
I got this one. I got the newer version and I do like it and really like that I don't have to clean a pan. I also cook 2 at once
I always enjoy your videos, thanks for posting!!
I hope you had a big bowl of grits to enjoy all those running eggs 🥚 with!!
Central Florida here, grits are a staple!! 🤗
When I started watching this, the first thing that came to mind is that I can cook perfect eggs in any of my frying pans. But after watching the video, it appears to do exactly what it says it does. For someone living in a dorm where there is no stove, I think this would be a great gadget to have. For the average person who is able to cook whatever they want in their kitchen, it isn't really necessary.
You can get small portable induction stoves these days that could literally fry anything. Would think someone living in a dorm would like to cook something else besides just eggs.
@@bloxyman22 Tell me where I said this was the only thing they would need? I stand by my comment as this is small and takes little space, requires no other pan, is easy and quick to use and very easy to clean up. It doesn't prevent someone from having any other kind of appliance that they would wish to have.
@@barcham You talking about not having a stove implies that. I just dont understand why you would not just get a small stovetop if that was the issue.
@@bloxyman22 A lot of dorms (and assisted living facilities) don't allow any type of open cooktop, so I could see a couple gadgets like this one being useful. I think my Mother would have liked something like this when she was in an assisted living facility.
I frequently have one or two eggs for breakfast and this looks like an easy and quick way to do so with minimal cleanup. I have discovered that it is easy to screw up a fried egg when I am not yet fully awake. I often use a stovetop "poacher", but this would perform pretty much the same function for me.
@@bloxyman22 Why do I always attract assholes who try to put words in my mouth? If you get a stove, then you need pots and pans. Then you have higher maintenance. Sometimes all you want, or need, is something like this.
I really giggled thru this. Thanks!
thanks for the review. Much appreciated! I don’t have issues with standing, but I don’t like standing (if that makes sense) and I prefer well done eggs. So for me, I would be using setting 3-6 (probably 4-6) with no complaints. I have an egg steamer/poacher, omelette maker and poker/slicer. I love gadgets. It’s loud enough to overcome my speakers, so win-win-win all around. Ordered one and I believe it will be a well used gadget.
Thanks
Tom
Gadget arrived and functions/performs as expected. Tried on setting 4 and setting 5. I wouldn’t call it a fried egg because it doesn’t get that crispy brown bottom that I like - but it does thoroughly cook the yolk, which is what I wanted.. And setting 5 is perfect for breakfast sandwiches. Link below is picture of setting #4. Beep is loud, unit turns off. It does what I want.

Link is broken. C’est la vie.
What a great review....I subscribed after seeing this video!
8:08 - Now THAT is how I like my eggs!
I got this one and use it daily. I love the setting '1/2 runny yolk'😛
Wouldn't be Freakin' Reviews without some egg gadgets! LFG! 😜😜
Well it does keep the yolk in the center. 🙂👍
If it beeped at around 2:48 seconds it was most likely designed to operate on AC power cycling at 50Hz, in the United States we use 60Hz so clocks designed for 50Hz actually run a bit faster... by about 20%.
"Guaranteed Results!"
"Good results?"
"Let's not get too cocky"
This would come in handy to use in my office at work. For the days I'm running late and didn't have time to cook or get some breakfast.
$40 to cook one egg?
Immediately went to a no after that
I can get a single egg pan for like four dollars from Meijer
A bargain if you can write off lol
@326th i bet there's lead in em
I’d pay this guy $40 to dance for me
This would be great for breakfast sandwiches using the broken yolk setting. Perfect egg for an English muffin!
Also fantastic for anyone that can't cook at a stove for any reason.
I wouldn't need one, though - If it's eggs I'm usually doing soft scramble, crispy-fried sunny side up, or practicing a French omelette which may or may not become a soft scramble.
Bought this after seeing your review. My wife laughed at me but loves it now. Works great for me
I paid around $50 for a good quality hybrid pan, which is useful for a lot stuff other than just frying eggs. Like most of these kitchen gadgets, it's a one trick pony (and it doesn't really do it that well)
Straight to the boneyard imo
Thank you for another good video
PS I hope you all have a nice weekend
don't forget to figure in the cost of the cook top or range....can't do much with a pan without the heating up bit. Now an electric frying pan on the other hand , that's a bit more flexible of a device.
@@markbajek2541 Most people have a stove. And if you cant afford a stove you dont have $40 for a frivolous product like this.
Seems like it does what it says it does. Nothing i need but it looks ok. Thanks for the video
Thank you for this comprehensive review.. our wellness app at work allows us to earn points for Amazon cards..i cashed in some points and ordered..i should get it today. I already have one of those egg steamers for "boiled" eggs.. This will be great for making homemade breakfast sandwiches.. Can't wait to try! Really Enjoy your review videos.
It's small easy to pack, might be good when going on a trip. At home I would use my frying pan.
dorm cookery.
kind of a shame you didn't try a mixed egg. because i bet that would work great for sandwhich eggs.
This is the first egg gadget I actually want. I have heII making over easy (runny yolk) fried eggs. I mangle them🤣
My Dash grill (at less than a third of the cost) does a great job on eggs and is easy to monitor the progress but can only do one at a time. That last attempt at the sunny side up setting was exactly how I like my eggs. I would've liked to see two eggs at a lower setting so the yolks stay runny.
I just make mine in a frying pan...3 at a time and come out great!
That “tool” is basically a rice scooper 😂
I've never ordered or cooked a half or fifth runny egg. Over easy, over medium, over hard, and a few others
The second egg was perfect for me. Guess I'd better start saving my pennies 'cause I am terrible at making fried eggs.
You’re not terrible you just haven’t made enough.
I like it. Especially for traveling. It does what it says. A little expensive but besides that, just let it preheat and you're good to go.
Would personally just use a pan, that I have in the kitchen anyway.
I think this product has its place in certain sectors. Dorm room or someone who travels for extended stays in hotels maybe. I’m thinking it may be nice for a young adult out on thier own for the first time. Maybe. But I wouldn’t give $40 for one unless it was a gift I was giving. Nice review as always!
Not for Pennsylvania folks. We call Sunny-side up “dippy” eggs because we dip toast in the yolk. 😂
2:34, a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg.
I hope he tests setting 1 again after setting 6 and then compare the two eggs cooked at setting 1 - my guess the second egg will be a lot more cooked as the unit is now warm
Excellent! Thanks for doing that last test !
Don't you hate having to watch videos all the way to the end to find out that's exactly what happened.
@@markbajek2541 yeah, I tend to comment as I’m watching along 😁 thank goodness comments can be updated !
Frying pan is still the best since I usually make three eggs at a time. The unit works and doesn't take up much space in your kitchen, but it's really not needed.
Electric frying pan for the win!
I don't like using a frying pan that's much wider than the egg because the yolk spreads out wider than the bread.
That and the Dash waffle maker is good for RV's. It does what it says. and you can't mess up.
I've used The griddle maker which is similar to the waffle maker mini. The egg maker is a good idea for those who have a tendency to forget that they put something on and it shuts off automatically. That might be worth the $40. Other than that, The griddle does the same thing.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love that you did the first one over.
It's kinda expensive, but it seems like it works well for what you would buy it for.
Fun and informative video. I will stick with my regular Egg Pan. By watching it, I can easily get the desired doneness for my mood at the time. I hope Bailey enjoyed the eggs to help keep her luxurious coat bright and shiny.
I love that every single breakfast gadget looks the exact same, my breakfast sandwich maker from 2010 looks the same as every single other one
I bought this, Nostalgia MyMini Personal Electric Griddle. I'm going to try it just using the time from your cooker. It's half the price.
I've learned to avoid single-purpose products
You're absolutely right ✅️.
The Dash Griddle cooks a fried egg very well, but I am preferring my AllClad small frying pan these days.
I like my egg whites over cooked and my yokes runny. I usually separate the yoke and add it after the whites are nice crispy around the edges if I'm doing it in a pan. If I'm in a hurry, the microwave, 45 seconds works just fine and I'd save $40 bucks.🍳😊
There should be a setting between the first and second. That was perfect
Great idea for the young cooks in the family, a much better option to cook an egg than using the Easy Bake Oven.
You remind me of a neighbor that recently passed away. It was hard watching this video. Great review and thumbs up.
Am I the only one here that doesn't really eat eggs but hoping to get a snippet of Bailey? Love you too J :)
This thing barely handling 2 eggs for $40 makes me even more grateful for the brand new dash 2 tier egg steamer i found at savers for $9! I'd love to see an egg cooker battle royale one day
I'm going to try this with my Dash mini griddle. Just for the Hell of it.
I cook egg in my dash pancake maker ; I bought one for my 87yo dad and he loves it too for cooking egg.
For a single person or maybe a couple who are on the go alone this would be nice. Or better yet college dorm this would be a good thing for quick egg sandwiches.
My son loves eggs and he had me teach him how to cook all his favorite things with eggs.
He would have a fried egg sandwich for every meal and not bother him a bit lol.
I do wonder if you sprinkled bacon bits or a few slices of ham under the egg if it would mess up the timing bit it could be useful in certain situations.
Oh another good idea. It could easily be packed in suitcase for folks who have to work away from home.
My hubby occasionally has to go out of state for a good 7 to 10 days for installation of their big relay boxes or to troubleshoot problem installation.
He often complained about the hotel breakfast.
Most times there is a microwave and fridge in the room and something like this might come in handy.
I bet you could cook a veggie burger or frozen burger in there too if you had to . Just a few ideas 💡
If it could do like 2 or 3 (RUNNY) at a time, that would be awesome.
maybe it does need a warm-up on the first setting then try a sunny side up?? I'm going to get it and try it!! thanks for the review!!
I give my 14 year old mastiff 9 quail eggs every day. Most mastiffs only live around 8-10 years I think the eggs are helping keep him healthy.
I used to give my late dachshund quail eggs 🥚. She loved them.
I need between setting 1 and 2. I prefer to use a pan but this could be good for food at work / in the office
Not sure why you're on the fence about this one. Seemed to work perfectly. I can also see making pancake buns with this for homemade McGriddles 😋
I love an egg gadget even though I rarely eat eggs lol
I would use it pretty much daily
Eggs are what keeps me alive 😅
And tbh is not a joke, eggs have all the vitamins human needs except for the C which you can drink mixing a bit of lemon juice in watter
I'd need at least two or three of these running to make my breakfast lol.
I bet Bailey is ready to help you eat up those eggs!! And eggs are great for a shiny, healthy coat on a dog!!
#TeamFeedBaileyTheEgg
This would be good for an older person who just wants a small easy breakfast without worrying about handling a hot pan on the stove. My father in law could have used this while sitting at the table with his plate ready.
Great idea, but one egg at a time would not work for most families or even a bachelor. I hope the make a 4 egg version, I would buy it right now.
missed opportunity to give the double well done a smiley face
Looks like a great product, does what it says, should be good if you use the sunny side up mode without contents just to preheat it, but personally it would not be used in my house. We all eat sunny side up, so imagine making 3 x eggs for 3-4 people, it would take ages.
When I was a kid, I would only eat the yolks on toast. My dog would happily finish my eggs like they were oysters
This might be a good product for me. In my house (5 people) it can be hard to find the right pan and lid when I want to make an egg or two and I would eat more eggs if it were simple like this. It probably would have been better to just have a strait adjustable timer so you could just make it what you want. Like eggs can cook differently if they are small, large or extra large so in my case I buy extra large eggs and after a few uses (timed) I would know the perfect setting and would likely write it on the unit with a silver sharpe.
6:43 asmr with freakin reviews
I'll eat some eggs with you, James.
Seriously though, I think you were a little harsh on the device. Those outcomes were certainly closer than I would get on my own. And I'm presuming more consistent.
I wish you had mixed the white and yolk to see how scrambled came out
This cooker would be useful for making breakfast burgers with a sunny side up egg on top. You don't have to dirty a second pan. However, he didn't tell us how well it cleans up.
Keeping my mini dash egg cooker!😁
The second attempt at setting 1 looked pretty good. However, I don't really have a situation where I need one fried egg.
For the first setting, I would've let the egg sit for another minute before removing it from the unit, if it was cold when you plopped your sunny side up egg into it. The residual heat of the unit should've finished cooking the egg whites. Did the instructions say anything about the size of egg to use, there's a significant difference between Large, Extra-Large, and Jumbo eggs.
I like that it makes the eggs perfectly round. It’s great for making breakfast sandwiches. Still, there are cheaper options for that. $25-30 is the highest I’d go.
Lots of eggs for Bailey. 😊
