Rollie Hands-Free Automatic Electric Vertical Nonstick Easy Quick Egg Cooker

Cooks a single unscrambled egg perfectly and there's virtually no cleanup. My second one of these, after the non-stick coating finally gave out on the first one after a couple of years. Yes, it's a little goofy how the egg pops up! If you eat eggs regularly or like to pack a cooked egg in your lunch it's a nice change from simple boiled eggs. The trick to success is to spray a shot of aerosol cooking oil in first, let it preheat, and drop the egg in. Don't use the bamboo skewers. Just wait until the cooked egg pops up by itself, turn the Rollie upside-down, and gently shake the egg out onto a plate or bowl and let it cool for a minute. If you want your egg cooked more, when the egg first pops up let it be. The egg will slide back in by itself and continue cooking. About 6-7 minutes cooks the yolk to hard-boiled. If you let it cook longer the egg will get a nice crust on it. Don't forget to unplug it when you slide the egg out! For cleanup I just wait till it cools and wipe the excess oil and any egg from the opening. I use the included brush and clean it with a drop of soap and water about once a week. I tried scrambling the egg, adding cheese/other ingredients, etc. but that didn't seem to work so well and resulted in a mess, so I don't do that. If I want an omelet or frittata I just make it in a pan.

Rollie, You have drastically under- advertised your product. This is the greatest addition to practical cooking since the airfryer (pause for millennial gasps). I purchased one a month ago suspecting it was more “as seen on tv” gimmick than life-changing but for the very low price, I figured it was worth a try. I work as helicopter flight paramedic and also as a 20+ firefighter traveling a lot and staying in crew houses, stations, and hangers. Most the time we have few amenities giving us a choice between microwave food or fast food. It gets old. I just crave a fresh omelet. Your product is compact and easy to clean so I keep it with me in my duffle bag when I travel. Co-workers have begun asking about it and borrowing for their shift. Some have approached management asking if we can get them for all of the houses, stations and hangers. My son is a 19 year old who Recently moved away to college. The dorms have limited resources to cook and with limited finances for groceries he found himself in same microwave/fast food quagmire. This product should be in every college dorm. By its design the Rollie has made eating healthy more convenient than eating fast food. Im ready to embark on a 90 day challenge eating only fresh food and omelets cooked in the Rollie. Document it titled “summer Ripped by Rollie”. Let’s talk production budget- Aaron

Impulsive disappointment to say the least. I do not know what came over me when I decided to purchase this ridiculous device but regardless it happened and I am ashamed of myself. The Rollie is an interesting concept; breakfast in an instant, but it fails because it's no faster than pan frying, even for one serving, and it does not cook through thoroughly. If you cook one egg maybe the egg will be cooked all the way through, but two, forget it. The top of the egg will NOT cook and when the egg erection show begins the uncooked portion spills all over the shaft. Does it sound sexual? Grossly so. Don't underestimate this basic function of the Rollie, it gets an erection and it is very disturbing. I cannot show my kids this for fear of scarring them for life. Back to the under-cooking. I happen to like undercooked eggs but even this was too much for me. I placed previously cooked bacon in the Rollie before dropping in the eggs and yeah, not as amazing as it sounds. White and yellow with bacon in the middle. Also, YOU CANNOT COOK SCRAMBLED EGGS!!!! Really? If you cook scrambled eggs without adding their suggested bread crumbs (BREAD CRUMBS, REALLY????) then it spills all over the place. So if you cannot cook scrambled eggs then guess what you get? You get egg white and yolk at different portions of the shaft. Mmmm NOT. Stupid to say the least although it's not the Rollie's fault for the natural chemistry of eggs but wait, it's an egg cooker. hmmmm. I gave it three days and well, it's now in the cupboard until the next yard sale. I'm sure it can be mastered but I don't have the time to sort it out which defeats the principle of the Rollie. Save your money and buy a snack master a clam shell shaped griller, a way better counter-top contraption that I still use even 25 years later.

Before I answer that question, I will explain the good and bad of this unit. The good is that it is easy to use (just plug it in), predictable temperature, and very unique results. Why not use a pan? Well, of course a pan works fine, but maybe you will crack the eggs in the pan, maybe flipping is difficult, maybe the heat is hard to get just right, maybe you want to step away from the cooking. Plus you can use this in an office where other cooking options are not possible. The bad...first the bad is that the heat source is at the bottom of the chamber, making anything cooking much more done at the bottom and less at the top. There are no good directions on how to make a quality item, rather than just a hard cooked or "just wait till it pops up" item. I really wouldn't use this for anything other than eggs, or maybe an egg on a already cooked sausage stick. I don't think the results are going to be good for non-egg foods. But eggs can be perfect...here's the recipe: - Let unit heat up until the green light is on - Crack 2 eggs into chamber - Set a timer for 5:30 (5 minutes 30 seconds) - When the timer reaches 1 minute remaining (4:30 has passed) cover the top with foil or a small pot lid. One of the best options is a "tea cup cover". This will change how the unit works. Because the unit will shut off when the heat set point has been reached, putting a lid on essentially stops the bottom of the chamber from heating, but the top is now heating due to the trapped heat. This will allow the egg on top to finish without overcooking the bottom egg. - When the full 5:30 has been reached, turn the unit over and slap it on the bottom unit the egg comes out on a plate. The eggs will be perfectly medium. If you want them softer or harder, reduce or increase the overall time, but still cover for the last minute. So the big advantage of this unit is the predictable heat and time. Once you find the time that makes eggs how you like them, you never have to pay any attention to over or under cooking them again. If your eggs are right at 4:37, then preheat, toss the eggs in, and cover for the last minute....easy. I think if they would have included usable recipes, people would have much more success. Note that in the "cookbook" they refer to the food popping up on it's own, and the eggs will sometimes do that...but it is unpredictable. It depends on the oil you use (how much and the type) and the type of eggs (whole, beaten,, etc) and just luck. But generally waiting for the egg to pop up will yield a hard egg of unknown doneness....this is unnecessary. Find a time that works for your eggs and get it right every time.

I've seen the late-night infomercials for this product, but I never gave it much thought. After all, what possible use could I have of a device whose sole purpose is to make cooking an egg far too complicated? Then I read a review of it in The Guardian, with accompanying video and I knew I needed one of these immediately. Not because I really wanted a device to cook my eggs into flaccid, wiggly phalluses (phalli?) but because I wanted to experience the utter magnificence of this device firsthand. I admit it, I am a glutton for punishment and nothing says punishment like making food into flavorless tubes for more efficient ingestion. Speaking of punishment, the Rollie is accompanied by a cookbook filled with recipes, some of which seem less like cooking and more like punishing ingredients for the audacity of not coming in roll form. My first experiment with the Rollie was just plain eggs, what the device was originally made for. Just as promised, my egg phallus rose proudly erect from the depths of the Rollie chamber, still-liquid yolk glistening on its tip. That is, until it was spent from the effort and drooped over, the yolk dripping from its head onto the counter below, as if to say "I'm finished, you can wrap your lips around me now." I ignored the egg as I am not fond of liquid yolk, so I flipped it over as the instructions suggested to finish it. Once again, it rose straight until it was exhausted, though having spent all its yolk on the first round, there was nothing to mess my counter. Once I had determined that the eggrection was technically food, I decided to try a couple more recipes. I quickly regretted my decision as a flaccid tube of runny egg, supermarket cheese, and soggy crackers drooped at me, shamed by its existence. "It's okay," I whispered to the poor thing. "I'm sure you'll meet a friend down at the composting party." After thoroughly cleansing the Rollie's orifice with the conveniently included brush, I retired for the evening, spent from the work required to keep track of whether or not the Rollie's contents had been cooked. On one hand, the steam pressure that forces the eggrection out of its hole should indicate it is cooked, that isn't necessarily the case. The Rollie cookbook gives times for cooking its may recipes, from about five minutes to pushing ten minutes. Sometimes, the eggrection is pushed out before even coming close to the 8 minutes of cooking time needed, which then requires messy removal and awkward reinsertion, as if I haven't done this sort of thing before. During one late night, I got the munchies and, putting my dignity aside, I decided to see about that Rollie recipe that's just a hot dog covered in an egg tube. It was perfectly edible, but this highlighted the fundamental flaw of the Rollie: it's ridiculously inefficient. How long does it take to nuke a hot dog? 25 seconds, according to the back of the package of my snooty Angus hot dogs (and my aged microwave concurs). How long does it take to throw a loosely scrambled egg in a frying pan? 2 to 3 minutes, according to my half-assed timing. How long does it take to cook an egg-covered Rollie hot dog eggrection? 6-8 minutes, according to the cookbook. In the time it takes to cook a Rollie egg dog, I could have been enjoying my protein and fat for several minutes. Time is all we have, people, and why would I want to spend more time to put one soggy eggrection in my mouth when I could spend less time experiencing the real thing? Regarding its inefficiency, with the long cooking times and single eggrection quantity, this is absolutely not ideal for parties, despite the promotional video's suggestion otherwise.Imagine trying to make an entire platter of Rollie's version of pizza rolls for a party, or even just more than two people. In the amount of time it takes for a single Rollie pizzarection to present itself to you, you could have baked an entire pan of regular pizza rolls. This with the same amount of food prep, but not the frequent lubrication of Rollie's fussy orifices. A petty complaint is that it has no on/off button. It simply is on while plugged in. Granted, it has the handy lights that show you if it's on, but with as many warning labels as there are in the world, this could be a bit problematic. Remembering to unplug the Rollie is not high on the list of priorities when an egg-infused tortilla rectangle rises to greet you in the morning. More likely, priority number one is finding out who is responsible for whatever is going on there. Of course, none of this compares to the Rollie's complete violation of tortillas. Tortillas, those delicious, round flatbreads filled with many delights, have one very defining feature: they are round. Their second feature is that you put things in them and they conveniently roll up for on-the-go deliciousness. The Rollie corrupts the very nature of the tortilla, the very essence of what makes a tortilla a tortilla. In order to use a tortilla in the Rollie, you have to cut it into a 4x7 rectangle. Yes, that is what I just said. The noble tortilla, nature's most angelic food wrapping, turned into a seedy square, ready to be adulterated with eggrections and devil knows what else. The Rollie cookbook even comes with a template on the back, so we can butcher the hapless tortilla with precision. I couldn't bear to do it. I begged my tortilla's forgiveness for even contemplating such a thing, and proceeded to turn it into a delicious and proper breakfast taco that I enjoyed while I watched yet another Rollie eggrection force its way to the surface. The Rollie is wildly inefficient and a novelty at best. While I enjoyed my tryst with the Rollie, I'm afraid I have to give it merely three stars. The lack of an on/off switch was a demerit for me, as well as it's inefficiency in pleasing multiple people at once.

After watching a video on YouTube about the Rollie, I decided I had to have one. It has been fantastic! I have made eggs, link eggs, pizza rollies, and also made barbacoa rollies using some leftover barbacoa, cheese, and a tortilla. It has performed well. No complaints so far! Would recommend to anyone looking for a novel way to make snacks and breakfast items. Just keep in mind if you want to make more than 2 rollie items at a time you may want more than one rollie to help expedite the process. Update years later: I still love my Rollie. I don't use it every day, but I still prefer cooking eggs in it when I am alone and love some of the quick snacks in the recipe book. The first one I had developed an defect in the Teflon and the company sent me another than has been great ever since. Is it quirky? Yes. But it has survived the kitchen appliances culling of 2019 where my waffle maker did not...which says a lot haha.

I am going on a camping trip, in a trailer.. to campgrounds with electric hookup. This will be okay to use, since I'm the only one who likes eggs. Could be handy in a motel room that doesn't come with free breakfast, but they almost always have microwaves. Still, are you going to cart around a carton of eggs in the trunk of your car to do that? I could do this much faster in a frying pan or the microwave. You are cooking one egg at a time, and it takes between 6-8 minutes for your egg to come out. So, it's not handy to cook breakfast for more than one person at a time. The second person is going to eating his eggs by himself and the first's eggs will be cold. This would be good for kids because they would love watching it and would be cooking their own eggs. I don't know that anyone who would really find this useful. You don't have grease, but you are using Pam. For me, one person, in a camper this will be handy. I say that and question my own logic when you have the same amount of mess to clean up... I guess,there's an advantage to the fact, that you can walk away while it's cooking. And, it doesn't seem to shut off (I'm tired of waiting) by itself, so it's not all that safe for kids. All in all... Save your money and learn how to microwave your eggs.

After seeing this invention on Rhett and Link's Youtube channel, we purchased it right away. Although their spoof on the Rollie Vertical Egg Cooking System was to make fun of it as a rather useless invention, I instantly saw the advantage of my children being able to make their own eggs, as well as its perfect shape for an egg burrito. As I suspected, the instruction booklet also included some other useful and delicious recipes, several of which didn't even involve eggs. In my first attempt using the Rollie, I sprayed the interior with a bit of Pam, and cracked two eggs into it. I was a little surprised at the cooking time, but it makes sense--about 10 to 15 minutes. The bottom portion of the egg "tube" was perfectly cooked for me, as there was soft yolk within. I believe it would have been cooked "hard" if I had left the eggs to rise completely instead of pulling it out before it was completely cooked. I next beat my son's eggs up with some milk, and tried that. Next time I will definitely leave out the milk. It seemed to rise much faster, and the eggs were really long. I thought it was done, and pulled it up and out, and the bottom portion was not cooked hardly at all, and I got slightly burned by the hot wet egg mixture. I poured it back in however, and it completed cooking. My advice is do not try to pull the eggs out until they are completely risen. Thats all.

Fast delivery . We bought 3 for Christmas presents . The kids love their new eggs . The parents are in awww at this machine . Tons of laughs and giggles. This is one way to spice up the kids breakfast. Thank you for the fast delivery . Loving it😊

Took too long to cook, it's better to cook in pan. Not a worth.

簡単に筒状の卵焼き？が出来ます。 じわ-と上がってきたときは笑えました。

Shame, it's rubbish

ちょっと時間が掛かりすぎるように思う。卵二個だと上部が焼けていない時があり 一個～一個半が適量か？
