Super helpful, thank you! My egg was running all over the place and never fully cooked. I’d leave it longer and the muffin would burn...this is so smart.
Somebody threw out the one I found, I saw it and picked it up, washed it, followed this video at 1.5x speed and it worked perfectly! Because if the spray canola oil, it cleaned up perfect after too with paper towel
Definitely the superior method, I like the steaming effect for the muffin makes it soft but not burnt. Make sure you watch your egg, it will cook a lot faster on the bottom then in the middle.
Thank you for figuring this out. Raw egg slid down the sides and it was a mess with the manufacturer's method. Yours works, I was ready to trash the thing.
I doubt the manufacturer wanted this to be used in that way. I think after the thing left the hands of the engineers, some China fuck wrote the manual on his lunch break of squid and ciggerettes, and never saw the device.
Just received my breakfast sandwich maker and happened on your TH-cam page. Your recommendation of cooking the egg in the bottom and preloading with the whites to cover the bottom was spot on. Thank you so much for a wonderful video and great idea.
Thank you David Van. I got mine for free because somebody threw it away, probably because they followed the chingrish instructions to the letter, and it didn't perform well. A decent product can be crippled and disowned by consumers because of crappy instructions written by some Chinese goof who either never saw the device and/or didn't understand how it worked.
Good way of doing it, im from manchester UK, THE BEST MUFFINS in the world are from manchester & lancashire, they are called oven bottom or stone baked muffin, they are amazing toasted!
Me too I absolutely could not get that egg proper so this is a help and I’m gonna head and re-ordered another one and I’m going to try it the way you’re doing it
These are ALWAYS at the trift store, now I know why and now I can get one new and real cheap there and use it correctly. It will be great with the keto chaffels instead of the muffins.
I put the bread in the lower level, then the cheese, meat, lower the first ring/plate. Then crack the egg, break the yellow, add the top piece of bread lower the lid and time it for 4 minutes. Never had ANY leaking! It has to be fully preheated! This procedure has to be done without delay or interruption or the center plate will be too cool to contain the egg properly and you will have leaks. Mine has a timer.
Exactly as stated on instructions. I have used this machine for several years and never had an egg leakage problem. The first thing I learned is that if making a sausage variety is to use the precooked patty and pre warm it in the microwave for about a minute while the unit is pre heating. Otherwise if you use a frozen patty the center disc will definitely cool down too much and the egg will not set quickly enough. The method posted here seems to be much of a waste of time and too many steps since if done correctly this unit works great as it should.
I don't have or use eggs. So I skipped the egg portion and cooked without the middle plate and both sandwiches turned out alright.😉 I also wish this appliance had an on and off switch. The same goes for my George Foreman Grill. It just seems so hazardous to unplug the cord out of the socket while the appliances are still on!
What's wrong with you the whole design is egg based Mr I don't have or use eggs 😂. What's wrong with you? Would you like me to send you some? I will start you a go fund, shure I'll have you rolling in eggs soon.
Love this!! I like my engish muffins toasted well so if I purchase this I would follow your steps but just toast the english muffin in the toaster. I was concerned about the reviews I read on the leaking issue so your solution is great! Thanks!
Here’s a good change up! Two eggs cracked into bowl. Add a splash of milk or half n half. Add 1/4 tsp bisquick. Whisk eggs and add shredded cheese, whisk again lightly. Then in preheated sandwich maker pour mixture slowly into bottom ring only and it will seal around middle ring and bottom plate quickly. Then cut your muffin in half and put the two outside ends together and put in center slide ring. Eggs will be done in 3 minutes and they’ll be slightly puffy from milk or half n half. Open center take out muffin half’s to plate. Open bottom ring and puffy egg slides right out. You can eliminate the Muffin if needed because the bisquick will form a nice thin crust on eggs.
I can do this in my microwave, on a paper plate, in about 1 minute. No extra gadget to store, no dishes to wash, and tastes wonderful. Spay your paper plate, crack egg on it & break yolk, add ham & cook 1 to 1& 1/2 minute, while muffin cooks in toaster. I do this all the time... It can also be done with a regular frying pan. I'll never understand why people spend money on gadgets that are not needed...
I use croissants and get them from Winco, and use a 5-inch cookie cutter to shape the croissants, spray the egg sandwich maker with canola oil, on the bottom put the bottom croissant piece with bacon and American cheese, then beat a medium to large egg with salt and pepper and let that cook for 4 to 5 minutes, and than take out the egg divider and put the top croissant on and one minute longer and its done 😊 You could probably even use pancakes to make a McGriddle. you just have to use a cutter for that also and pre cook the pancakes
Hi David thank you so much for doing this video. I was having trouble with my egg running all over the place. But mine has a timer should I not set the timer? Mine also does preheat and I think the timer is just accounted down I'm not sure anyway thank you I am definitely going to try making my sandwich this way.
I’ve tried a lot of methods but we like this one the best, we use frozen sausage patties from Aldi (I thaw in the micro a bit first) and a slice of American and it tastes just like McDonald’s sausage egg McMuffin. It’s hard to get my girls to eat a sandwich other than PB&J so I’m very happy they will eat this well using this method!
I've never had a problem with the egg running through the slider level. I have my own alternative method. I use American cheese and it can't cook the whole 5 minutes, in fact it doesn't need to go in at all. I preheat the device, make sure slider is fully engaged. Then I'm starting my English muffin in a pan with butter (I prefer Bays) in the same pan I'll fry the ham. So egg is done, I'll put cheese and ham on bottom, open it up and stick it in, put top on top of cooked egg. Open up and it is done. Yes it does require a separate pan and operation, but I figure it is worth it. I still like the device for making the egg, because I'd have to use a second pan to cook the egg anyway.
You need to buy pre cooked sausage patties and warm them in the microwave before proceeding with the instructions. I do this while the unit is heating up, plenty of time.
Watch the video more closely before commenting. The meat and cheese are cooked separately, on the middle section. The eggs will cook too slowly on the middle shelf, and run out the gaps. It was one of the first issues I addressed. I'm sure you're smarter than it appears in your comment. Yes, it is a flaw in the design of the unit, but that's on the manufacturer. I received this as a gift from a family member, and I did my best to innovate the process. I would not have made the video if I didn't come up with a solution.
To me your hack of the egg is ridiculous, I've never had my egg leak out of it's ring. If you put it in slowly like you do the bottom ring, where the egg ring is, it serves the same purpose, don't you think? And my muffins are always crisp. I cook mine 4.5 minutes tops. But I'm going to try it your way, I do like my egg on top of the muffin with the meat and cheese on top of the egg. I wasn't/I'm not trying to be a Karen.
Sorry to all who found this video helpful......but this is a ridiculous and more steps than necessary method, you may as well just make your sandwich in the old fashioned frying pan and forget about the machine all together. Allowing the machine to fully pre heat and not using ice cold ingredients seems to stop the egg running problem. Make sure your machine is fully pre heated, and make sure your egg, meat, cheese and bread of choice is all room temperature and you should not have problems with egg running out.
I always use a knife when using it for a sandwich. Doesn’t make any difference when using it for a breakfast sandwich. If you’re just eating it with butter and want to preserve the nooks and crannies, then by all means, use a fork.
You're not very bright the sandwich maker is designed so you don't have to use a spatula I just used one and cooked my egg in the top half and it came out perfect I pre heated the element first
Same here, never fails to work correctly every time. No muss and no fuss. Just lift the segments after the 4 - 5 minute time and slide it onto a plate. Good to go.
Super helpful, thank you! My egg was running all over the place and never fully cooked. I’d leave it longer and the muffin would burn...this is so smart.
I've Been using the breakfast maker the way you said and no more leaking of egg. So glad I watched your video. Thanks
Thank you this video was very helpful I was gonna throw the machine away but you saved it for me thank you
Somebody threw out the one I found, I saw it and picked it up, washed it, followed this video at 1.5x speed and it worked perfectly! Because if the spray canola oil, it cleaned up perfect after too with paper towel
Bravo sir! Your method works perfectly, I made my first using the factory instructions and then tried your method. No comparison. Thank you.
I think I’ll be adapting your way of making the sandwich, it’s better. Thanks for sharing! 💞
Just tried it your way, and it's perfect!! Sir, you are a genius!! Don't know why the manufacturer didn't recommend this way!! #perfecto👍🏾
Probably thought we couldn’t follow it. Also for marketing their way is simpler so they could advertise it as easy to do
@@Belgarathe And it is easy if you just follow directions provided with the product. This method is needlessly messy and over time consuming.
Thank you, kind sir. Your video made my first time using this machine much easier and more pleasant. Best wishes!
Definitely the superior method, I like the steaming effect for the muffin makes it soft but not burnt. Make sure you watch your egg, it will cook a lot faster on the bottom then in the middle.

Thank you. I have learned how to make the perfect breakfast sandwich now.
I used quesadilla cheese and this thing is amazing.
I tried mine with processed slised cheese. Don't do it
Just bought mine, and tried it this way, definitely works wonders!! Thank you very helpful
Thanks for this. Tried your method today. Best ever results
From the moment I bought this contraption it made more sense for me to do it this way, I am glad am not the only one
The machine instructions are much easier than your approach. Just practice a few times and you too will have success!
This is the best example Ive seen. Thanks for sharing. Definitely makes things a lot easier.

I wanted to leave the comments at 69 but I had to thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for, tips on how to use this Egg McMuffin Machine.
exactly the sort of video i was looking for
Me too! Haha.
exact problem I was having. Thank you for the tips
That was a really smart way of making that sandwich.
thank you for the video. great review

Good to know! You can cook the egg on the bottom. I was tired of the egg being soggy. Thank you.
So good! Thank you!
I just got the appliance and will do it THIS way from the git-go!
Thanks needed this. The manufacturing way doesn’t work near as quick or well.
Love this!! I like my engish muffins toasted well so if I purchase this I would follow your steps but just toast the english muffin in the toaster. I was concerned about the reviews I read on the leaking issue so your solution is great! Thanks!

Great solution for the under cooked egg!
We can get a plug that has an on off switch on it and then the sandwich maker plugs into that and then all of a sudden you have an on off switch

That looks like good eating!
looks good, in the cord you can mount an on off button
I was thinking of deleting the red power light, putting a chrome toggle switch in its place.
Defeats the purpose 🤷🏼♀️
My favorite part was when the thing almost fell apart. Not a bad lookin sandwich tho lol.
Where do you get that round cut Ham? Please, I can’t find it at all.
It could be Canadian bacon.
I think my wife gets it at Aldi's, in the cold cuts section.
Looks good , but might just be easier to make everything in 1 frying pan 🍳 quicker clean up too
Toast and butter the English muffin.
So it doesn’t toast the bread? No thanks
nope doughy uncooked bread on one side of each muffin
Slip one slice of ham onto the top of your ham/cheese layer, keep the cheese off the lid hopefully
Might be better to dry the ham a little first. I didn't and the steam kept burning my hands 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry but I prefer to use it the correct way. To stop the egg from running let the middle part get hot
I cant find a video on how to clean it tho ;(
If you use spray canola oil, all you have to do is let it cool down and wipe it with a dry paper towel.
clever。
Haha just use a skillet then
Does this work with an uncooked sausage patty too? Or should the patty be cooked separately
Cook it separately
@@checklistbeach get a frying pan, chuck this piece of absolute shite in the bin, or dont be so dumb as to buy it in the first place.
You need to buy pre cooked sausage patties and warm them in the microwave before proceeding with the instructions. I do this while the unit is heating up, plenty of time.
Yes, if you want to get the shits afterwards. Go for it bruh.
almost like a homemade McDonald's egg mcmuffin
nothing like that no
Grilled muffin would be better
If you cook egg on the bottom it's kinda pointless to use this.... whole point is to use middle slide action
Watch the video more closely before commenting. The meat and cheese are cooked separately, on the middle section. The eggs will cook too slowly on the middle shelf, and run out the gaps. It was one of the first issues I addressed. I'm sure you're smarter than it appears in your comment.

You ALWAYS fork split an English muffin never cut it with a knife!!
Just cut mine with a knife before watching this. Does is make it less crumby? I’m curious

No, you do.
