I was looking for a microwave utensil th...at would cook scrambled eggs without having to stop and stir the eggs during cooking. This two-sided omelet cooker was said in reviews I had read to be able to cook eggs that had been pre-scrambled (do NOT beat the eggs in the cooker) without stirring and in one shot in the microwave. Having had some experience with other such cookers, I first cleaned the interior and then sprayed the inside with oil and rubbed it into the smooth surface. Egg proteins will adhere to any discontinuities in a surface even if they are microscopic. So, filling the new surface with cooking oil is important to get a truly non-stick cooker. Rather than using this cooker for omelets, I do not put beaten eggs into both sides, only one side. I close the clam shell so that one side becomes a lid and then the beaten eggs (usually two eggs) are cooked at about 60% power for about 80 seconds (1 minute and 20 seconds in my 1200 Watt MW). The top side of the clam shell seems to keep steam coming from the cooking eggs inside the unit and helps cook the eggs more uniformly and quickly than it otherwise would. I have had other cookers produce rubbery, dry eggs, but this cooker with one side closed over the other, keeps the eggs fluffy and moist. You can add omelet items like cheese and meat to the top side of the eggs, but only after the initial 80 second cook. Then cook with the unit closed for an additional 20 seconds at 60% power and it does make a tolerable faux omelet. Be sure to clean the cooker surfaces right after use (including the hinge areas) and reapply spray cooking oil just before the next use. The cooker should remain non-stick for quite a while if you follow these guidelines. I will be buying another one as soon as mine starts sticking or the hinges break, which will eventually happen.

Second one I purchased from eBay but different... vendor. The first was made of a thiner plastic and didn't stay closed. I've bought Nordic products in the past and always found them to be superior to other brands.

While it is a simple design, it seems sturdy..., and it creates the omelets flawlessly.
