bluekarin Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 anyone got one of these linkydink ? I have been thinking about getting one for a while, but the reviews are mixed on Amazon, so thought I'd ask the Omlet font of all knowledge, well of that that is important , if its worth it.

chestnutmare Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have one, I've used only a couple of times but it's worked for me. I'm glad I bought it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 It's not given off a horrible smell then? Some of the reviewers said it have off a plasticy smell, which smelt a bit like burnt plastic. I love soft boiled eggs but I either do them rock hard, or the white is still breathing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 No, I got mine from Omlet and haven't noticed a horrible smell at all. The reviewers aren't smelling boiled egg are they? I boiled eggs yesterday with them. It said 'soft' and I thought, surely, they haven't been in there long enough yet. So I waited til the timer got to soft/medium, thinking I'd still get soft eggs. Guess what I got - soft/medium eggs! I also like my poachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I bought one in Germany a few years ago and it does the job perfectly. As long as the eggs you are using are roughly the same size as the timer, it works a treat. Larger eggs need a bit more time (obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have one and it didn't leave a plastic smell until JS left the pan to boil dry and the it almost welded itself to the bottom. Still works perfectly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I love it. Perfect eggs - you just need to learn where on the inidcator is perfect for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 That's a good price! I've seen them for a lot more. I had one years ago from Poundland, it worked well but I gave it to a charity sale at work. Didn't ever notice a smell of burnt plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
