I don’t know if you want this tip on steak, but if you reverse sear a steak you can get it as done as you want while it still being juicy and somewhat less chewy. You just bake it at 250 for about 50 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature with a meat thermometer, and Then sear it on a cast iron pan until the desired sear has been achieved on both sides of the steak, to give the outside a nice char. Cooking it first in the oven on a metal tray keeps all the juices in while getting it fully done, and then it gets nicely finished in the pan. I like char taste too, but I don’t like my steaks as done so I do this method but have it in the over for a shorter time. I was a culinary student but I didn’t learn this in culinary school, I learned this afterwards from online blogs about steak because it’s my favorite food!
@@erikshappywife glad I could help, food is my passion and I want other people to get the most enjoyment out of food possible also. I just subscribed because I liked your video a lot :3
I use my egg cooker several times a week. If not for your videos I would never have known about this wonderful mini appliance. Keep the reviews coming.
@@erikshappywife one more thing I had a gastric sleeve done 7 yes ago but gained weight back, I need to lose and eggs are a wonderful source of protein. You can load an egg or egg white omelette with many things so it stays interesting.
I'm using my Nostalgia egg cooker for the first time right now. Holy easy!!! The cooked eggs are hanging out in the ice bath and I'm excited to try one 😁 Oh, and great tip about moving it from underneath the kitchen cabinet... I started watching this video about halfway through my already cooking, and I moved it in time.
I am so glad that you saw/heard my tip and that you were able to move the cooker out from under the cabinet. I hope that you liked your eggs and that they turned out ok for you. Let me know, when you get a chance. and thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful day :o)
@@erikshappywife i just tried an egg... TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!! it peeled like a dream, it's cooked perfectly, and I'm already getting a few Facebook friends hooked on maybe buying one of these. And for under 10 dollars?! 😲
I am glad that you have one now and are enjoying it. I am always so happy to hear when I have influenced people to make GOOD purchased of products that they enjoy using. That is why I do this :o)
I really like your video. It is sooo complete! Thanks alot. I'm 66. Also have diabetes and blood pressure stuff. I hope that you have more videos... Angela
I do have more videos and have more mini makers to film...it is just hard with 9 cats. People get yucked out when one gets on the counter during a video, but, with 9, it is neigh on impossible to film a whole video without at LEAST one getting on the counter and into the video...anyway, I have LOTS of videos and I hope you will stick around and watch them :o) Welcome and thanks so much for stopping by
The egg cooker is one of my FAVORITE MyMini Maker appliances. I also REALLY love my mini airfryer and my mini rice maker, if you haven't seen those in action, you should go back and watch my videos on those...and ALL my mini makers videos. Thanks for watching and I hope you will become a regular viewer ❤️🙏❤️
@@erikshappywife I want to get one for everybody I can't totally amazed I'm totally amazed I've got Christmas already bought for because everyone's getting one of these I love deviled eggs but it's so hard to make them that I have I only make them on holidays this is so easy and I got it for $10. I wonder if you couldn't cook oatmeal in that like steel cut grains and stuff or even quinoa or you know whatever you can steam but I don't know I don't want to mess it up. The omelets come out thick and fluffy I've made a vegetarian one I made cheese ones they're just amazing and the boiled eggs are perfect,the egg shell I can slide off with my thumb, unbelievable!! thank you so much for doing this video 😊👍💕 love to everyone from Indiana 🎈
@@birdie58 they make a wonderful gift. I don't know if you could make oats in it but it would be wonderful if you could. You are in Indiana? My husband is from Indiana and I graduated from Purdue University. My husband graduated from Ball State😀❤️
@@erikshappywife well hello fellow Hoosiers, I'm 4th generation . I love Indiana, I lived other places briefly like Virgina and Texas, but Indiana fits me like a comfy glove. Still the Amish style cooking here is delicious comfort food and I grew up eating mostly Polish dishes also like that. Weight has been an issue so currently trying to modify those old to e comfort foods into more modern healthy meals. Deviled eggs were always every gathering, so I'm thinking of a substitute dressing to mix in. Currently I use mayo, mustard , relish and a sprinkle of paprika. Any ideas?
Our Walmart here in Liberty, MO. still had them a few days ago. They do still have them on the Nostalgia website. I LOVE mine and am about to go make some hardboiled eggs to make egg salad for lunch :o)
Did yours have a chime to let you know the eggs are done? I haven't heard a chime on ours yet even though Ive read that it should chime. Cooked eggs twice and followed the instructions and after about 15 min, it started to smell. Burning. Pulled the eggs and brown residue was showing on the hot plate. Eggs were done to perfection.
You know, I don't remember...I have not used it in a few days and now I can't remember if it chimes, or just shuts off. I think it just shuts off??? Now I'm gonna have to make some eggs to find out...LOL...I should remember, but, I've gotten so many of the mini makers and have been filming so many videos of them that I can't remember. I'm sorry...
I’ve only used mine once and I cooked hard boiled eggs. Supposedly, based on the amount of water put in using the little measuring cup and what kind of eggs you are looking for, the machine is supposed to make a noise in 14 minutes. I set an alarm on my phone to see if it was accurate and it was pretty close. The machine did beep about 15 seconds shy of my alarm, but the eggs turned out awesome. Hope that helps answer some of your questions!
It is pretty great, don't you think? I hope you like yours. I cooked more hard boiled eggs today and plan on making egg salad for lunch tomorrow...yummy!!! :o)
@@erikshappywife You're welcome! I understand from personal experience, how it is to have numb fingers. Several years ago I was cutting zip ties off of a fan that I was using and my pocket knife slipped and I stabbed my left hand right behind my thumb. I never did get all the feeling back in that thumb.
I was able to find the user manual online. all the instructions, measurements and recipes are here online. Thank goodness because my husband accidently ruined mine by knocking it into the sink full of water, (he is totally blind), so I needed this info. also. here is the link to the manual for you: manuals.nostalgiaproducts.com/manuals/kitchen-appliances/EC7AQ_DL_TRI_IM_BW.pdf I hope this helps. Yes, you can use your own measuring cup...but, you need to be able to pierce the eggshells before cooking...so I don't know what to suggest for that.
Just bought mine like you it makes a strange cracking my timer went off the eggs were not hard boiled they were soft I did it again for 5 more minutes as you said set a timer it might be better
It can take a little trial and error, but you should be able to get perfectly hardboiled eggs. if not, TAKE IT BACK AND EXCHANGE IT!!! I promise, these things really work amazingly well, but, as with any product, you could get one that doesn't work properly...could have been dropped, or why knows what...but, if you have to exchange it for another one, you should be happy with the replacement.
So I just got this and just tried it, 7 eggs are still cooling after being heated. I wonder if you can answer a question I wasn’t able to answer by looking online. it started smelling weird when it was a minute or so into cooking, smelled like maybe the plastic got too hot? And the odor increased and became more gross as time went on. Why would it smell bad when cooking?
GREAT QUESTION!!! According to Nostalgia, the different cooks can and DO have a weird smell the first few times they are used. In my experience, they also can have this smell after being stored and not used for a while. It should NOT have any affect on the food. After a few uses and with regular use, this smell usually goes away pretty much completely. I hope that I was able to answer this question for you and I hope that you continue to use and enjoy your cooker. Thanks for watching :o)
I was good with you until I seen the cat on the counter where you prep food on....please remember how they go into their litter pan with their feet touching and push feces and urine around, then the cat jumps on the counter with your plate of food....🤦♀️it’s called cross contamination.
I try very hard to keep them off the counters when I am cooking and I clean my counters with Clorox Wipes after they DO get on the counters...but you are so right, kitties on the counters isn't ideal.
I don't either. I'm not a fan of cat hair in my food or germy feet (of any kind) on my counters...but, cats have their OWN ideas of what they are allowed to do...
I couldn’t agree more. Not to mention the filth of their feet digging in liter boxes with poop and pee. Cat owners should have doors to their kitchens to keep their cats out. It’s disgusting
Thank you for watching and for your opinion. I wash my counters probably 10 times or more a day, many more times than the average person, because I want to make sure the counters are clean and germ free before I cook anything that my family is ACTUALLY going to eat.

Do you have to cook a whole 7 eggs or can you only cook three or four
You can cook just one, if you want to...or the full 7 :o)
You need water or not to put steel plate?

Haven't tryed mine I'm gonna have to buy a 3 way extinction so I can plug it up
They are wonderful. I hope you get your plug soon and that you enjoy using yours.

Y the sound comes
??? I am not sure what you mean?
26 minutes to demo a mini egg cooker ? 😅. Imagine if the first part of video wouldn’t have disappeared ?
I know...I am long winded sometimes. I apologize
Don't worry! You go, girl. I love and appreciate it ♥️
Why not just do it on the stove like everybody has done for god-knows-how-long?
In my opinion, the eggs turn out better in the maker and are easier to peel, in most cases.
When you can't have a stove, things like this are a godsend. 😊
