    If it's brand new in the box I would still try to register for the warranty. Never hurts to try. Have fun with it.

    I'm with @shtgunal3‌ I'd still try to register it. Worst case they tell you "no way José".

    Ok, found out is was a sweepstakes from Heineken that ended in late September. They were giving away a certain amount of these eggs. I MIGHT be able to claim a warranty on it, but I doubt it. Either way, my collection of the eggs grows! Much to the dismay of the wife.

    I even cooked up some exotic food for the first cook... Hebrew Nat hotdogs

    Congrats on a great little cooker.

    That is so cool. Have three Eggs and if I had to get rid of two I would keep the Mini.

    Don't let these nay sayers spoil your purchase. Just cook on it and don't look back. The odds of it cracking are slim to none.
