Dash Deluxe Egg Bite Maker - Electric Egg Bite Maker for Healthy Protein Snacks - Quick Cleanup, Space-Saving Design & Non-Slip Feet - 4 Servings, Aqua

I just got this a few hours ago and I’ve already made three dozen of these to put in the refrigerator so I can just pop one in my mouth in the morning with coffee. It is absolutely effortless and the cooking is beyond what I could’ve ever done. I’ve been making egg bites in the oven for years. It’s messy, it’s time consuming and I used muffin liners and it’s hard to get them apart. This solves all of my problems and I’m never going back. Plus, the fact that the eggs are steamed makes all the difference in taste and and texture. Clean up is a breeze. Why did I wait so long to buy this? Go get yourself one.

I am a Starbucks egg bites lover, and I've never been able to duplicate the soft, creamy recipe at home using my Instant Pot or oven. I wanted to give this product a try since supposedly "sous vide" is what gives that texture! Overall, this product is great. It comes with some recipes, but I found I had to tweak them a little to get the consistency and taste I was looking for, but I think I got it! I can now make them to taste almost identical to Starbucks, with that same consistency (tips at the end of this review if that's what you're looking for too). It comes with a larger silicone cup and 4 minis. The minis are SMALL...much smaller than I expected. Because of that, if you are using 4 eggs like their recipes call for, you will be making quite a few batches. But no big deal. There is no on/off switch on this. You plug it in, and it's on. The one thing I wish it had was an easier way to take the hot silicone cups out when they are finished. I don't want to leave them on the cooker while it cools off, as it will just make the eggs cook more, so I needed to pinch the tiny handles to pick them up. It's hot! Other than that, I really like this little machine. I used cooking spray in the cups as suggested, and the egg bites fell right out with ease. So far I have not used it for anything besides egg bites, but the instruction manual that comes with it gives other suggestions, like cheesecake. They would be TINY Cheesecake bites if you use the small cups! If you are looking for the consistency and taste of Starbucks egg bites, here's what I did to get it: - I TRIPLED the amount of cottage cheese suggested in their recipe book. - I didn't cook them as long as suggested. I pre-heated the machine and maybe cooked them for 5-6 minutes, instead of 10 minutes. (The machine directions say that if you pre-heat, it cuts down on your cooking time, but it doesn't say by how much, so it's a guessing game of trial and error) Overall, a great little machine that is small enough that it doesn't take up much room in my already cramped kitchen and allows me to save money by not going to Starbucks as often!

I just began using this little appliance and absolutely love it! The first thing I made was a grilled cheese sandwich, which came out perfect - melted cheese on the inside and toasted bread on the outside. Yummy! Per the instructions, I used nonstick cooking spray on both surfaces, which made cleanup a breeze. My second venture was egg bites, which came out fantastic. As other folks have mentioned, the cups are TINY. However, the egg bites are packed with protein and a little goes a long way. I used 3 eggs and added tomatoes, fresh herbs and grated cheese. The end result was 12 little egg bites that I'm storing in the fridge. Per the instructions, fill up each cup about 75% since the eggs will expand as they cook. Similarly, Dash recommends spraying the silicone cups with some cooking spray, which makes them pop out with zero effort. Cleanup for the egg bite function is also fast and easy. The appliance is small, cute and easy to use. It's perfect for feeding 1-2 people. If you need a higher capacity device, Dash makes a larger model that may be better suited for your needs. The only reason why I"m deducting a star is the lack of an on/off switch. Why they didn't include one boggles the mind. Suggestion: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS to make sure you're using it properly for each application.

OMG - so glad I purchased this. It is super cute, super easy to use, and cleanup is a snap. I’ve had this on my wishlist for a couple years and finally bought it as an after Christmas present to myself. Why did I wait so long? I’m saving money over buying pre-made egg bites and even I - a self-confessed non-morning person and non-chef - can make a healthy breakfast, clean up, and be out of the house on time for work. Extra bonus - it comes with a recipe booklet that includes more than just egg recipes. My only very minor criticism is that it does not automatically shut off, so I have to pay attention and make sure I unplug it when I’m done.

Makes a nice grilled-cheese sandwich, in about ten minutes. Nice to have, while my range is out of service. Be aware that its nonstick surfaces outgas a lot, at first, something that can be very dangerous to birds. You might want to run it outside until that subsides, or at least open nearby windows. I haven’t actually used it for egg-bites yet,

I sometimes wonder if products are truly tested before being released by the manufacturer. In this case, those who developed this, do they cook very much? This product has a great concept and works very well for making a variety of egg bite recipes. Once you break a couple of eggs, it takes at least 2 cooking cycles to use up just eggs. If you want to make the bites with meat, cheese or veggies added to the mixture, it takes even longer because the additions take up so much space in the silicone cups. I have used this a couple of times & though the egg bites turn out great and nicely uniform in size & texture, it takes forever to cook all of the egg mixture. If I didn't really like the bite size that this appliance makes, I would just cook the eggs in a cupcake pan as I have done in the past. (This appliance makes bites that are about the size of a silver dollar & about 1/4 - 1/2" thick if you add milk & a pinch of baking soda to the egg mixture.) I like the ideas offered in the enclosed cookbook, size of the silicone cups and the speed and ease of using this product. Should the manufacturer ever get to see this review, I hope the company will consider making a larger unit so at least a couple of eggs could be cooked all in one cooking cycle. With the hours I work, I often eat breakfast at work and it is something I cook in advance & take with me. When I am prepping a couple of future meals, I like to press the "easy" button. This is why I bought the appliance in the first place but I am not overly thrilled with the purchase. It would be absolutely fabulous if it were bigger & with more silicone cups.

Makes fantastic egg bites for breakfast. Super easy, and saves a bunch of time cooking in the am.

Bought this for my husband who always buys Starbucks egg bites, the mini bite cups are a bit small but there is a bigger one and definitely is better size, I added a little bit of water, I mean just a little and is perfectly moist, cook time seems daunting, about 15 min, so you could definitely do some quick prep and toss this in and set a timer and come back to fresh breakfast that’s relatively hands off. The value is great, I think I use it now more than my husband, and love that you can do many different types of foods in this, not just eggs, but you can do cheesecakes, I’ve done pancake bites, works well, the surfaces do get hot so don’t touch the top and be careful when you open it with the steam, if you follow the booklet you’ll get good egg quality, and it does cycle on and off to control the temperature somewhat, but not auto shut off that I know of. Easy to clean, silicone cups. Great little device and would be great for travelers.
