I loved the idea of making egg and toast at the same time using same equipment. kudos.
The product worked great for a while but in few months the egg maker was dead. The frustrating part is that I didnt even use the unit everyday.

I went ahead with giving it another try thinking that the first one might had been a faulty production item. Again few months later, egg maker is dead.
I wish some other company would take the same idea and design a better, durable product.

How does anyone get along with just a toaster anymore? This one can fix you breakfast in the morning. How many of you can say that about your toaster?


2 out of 5 stars Egg poacher stopped working   May 6, 2008

Update to original review: We called Back to Basics about the defective unit. They were wonderful - sent us a new unit immediately. So I would raise my 2 stars to 3 stars just for the wonderful customer service (but can't figure out how to do it). Now we have two of them - the replacement my boyfriend bought me and the replacement that Back to Basics sent. If they last longer than the first one, then I will come back and post a new review to raise my rating to 4. (Also, it was probably more like 6 or 7 months before the first one quit working.)

Original review: We enjoyed the egg-and-muffin toaster for a few months - it timed everything perfectly. BUT the egg poacher stopped working after 4 months. Now it's just an odd-shaped toaster, which causes us some headaches, because my boyfriend got used to having his egg-and-muffin. So now he dirties up several pots and pans to steam a poached egg on the stove in a make-shift steamer, while the toaster part makes his toast. More work for him in timing it and in cleaning up.

Well, the toaster in my kitchen broke so I figure I'd go to Wxxxxxt and look for a new one. As I as browsing through the toaster section I found this unusual-looking toaster. A toaster with an egg poacher/cooker/whatever! I was a bit hesitant about buying it at first since these "specialty items" usually end up not living up to their claims and so on, but I decided, what the hell. It was on sale for $25, so I just went ahead and got it. I get home, read the quick directions, placed an English muffin in the toaster, and placed the egg in the "mini-pan" and covered it with the lid. Three or four minutes later, the muffins pop out of the toaster, and the boiling water under the mini-pan stops boiling. I open the lid and the egg's done! Wow, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread! Needless to say, I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a homemade Egg McMuffin sandwich at any time!
