Back to Basics TEM500 Egg-and-Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher

Editorial Review:

Workday mornings are a repetitive and harrowing transition from awakening, dressing, and travelling to work. Who has time to prepare a nutritious breakfast. So you end up picking it up at a deli, diner, or greasy take-out - sometimes waiting on line with all the others - and you're still running late. Back to Basics Egg and Muffin Toaster is an alternative.

Need toast? You've got it. Want a poached or hard boiled egg? It's yours. And if you want them together in your favorite breakfast sandwich, the Egg&Muffin Toaster also warms your pre-cooked meat. Bingo...ready to eat in about four minutes. It's sort of the drive-thru breakfast without the drive.

As a multi-function appliance, the Egg&Muffin Toaster expands the practical uses for this small electric by giving those with busy schedules more than just toast. The Egg&Muffin Toaster delivers in about four minutes a convenient and tasty morning meal that's both familiar and well liked. In addition to being a full-functioning toaster, the Egg&Muffin Toaster can simultaneously: 1) toast the bread, 2) cook an egg (poached or steam-scrambled), and 3) warm a pre-cooked slice of ham or sausage?or any combination of these three functions, in addition to boiling upto four eggs.

The Egg&Muffin Toaster features wide toasting slots, an auto shut-off for individual toasting and poaching options, an easy-to-clean control touchpad, and light to dark toaster settings. It also includes a removable crumb tray for easy clean-up and cord storage. The toaster's ?Egg/Toast? function directs cooking of both items simultaneously to complete at the same time.

Great until the egg poacher broke after only 2 months!:

It worked great for the first month I used it, about 4 days a week. Everything worked fine, with the exception of some water that would drip down the side.
Then after about a month the egg side stopped working, I kind of forgot about it and tried it again this morning and no matter what (unplugging, resetting etc) it would not work. Very disappointing.
I'm going to try to get a replacement, or maybe a refund since it is so new.
Just a note, I've had an egg steamer/poacher separate unit for... more info

Almost Killed Me:

My boyfriend and I have had this product for at least 6 months now. It worked alright for the first few months, and then the egg cooker just stopped working one day. We've been using the toaster portion of the appliance with no problems.
Just the other morning, I awoke to a horrible screeching sound that was coming from the kitchen. My boyfriend investigated and found that the heating element within the egg cooker had started working and turned itself on again. It was smoking, and probably would have... more info

Fantastic:

I can't think of a single change I would make. The handle to the egg cup doesn't get hot, it handles all bread, you can forget about it and it's perfect.
It's a little big, I guess. This little device is a weekday lifesaver. I am so grateful to have a quick and easy breakfast.

Daddy's Little Helper:

I enjoy being the breakfast man of the house. This is much more than an toaster. It is a breakfast machine. I love it! Both the hard boiled and poached eggs are perfect every time. Remember to "punch the hole" in the top of the hard boiled egg w/the provided cup, then the eggs won't "pop" and leak. Keep the unit clean (which is not difficult at all). Enjoy, I do....
