The 11$ egg cooker works fantastic! Thank you @Canugghead

With regards to the pfas, swmbo enjoys using the air fryer, and it always smells like melting plastic.

That's probably plastic

Canugghead

@alaskanassasin, glad to hear it works well for you, the overwhelming number of good reviews and the price influenced my buying decision.

@kl8ton, my egg cooker has ETA May1-4.  

Agree with @Legume, air fryer operates at high temp so plastic smell is not surprising.

We had three separate Love Birds die.  We believe it was linked to an air fryer.  I threw it out.

There’s some irony of folks on a < checks notes > meat smoking forum wringing their hands over foil.

Yes, we cooked 4 eggs that were roughly 48hrs old, poked two and left the other two whole. All 4 peeled with ease.

Thanks @Ozzie_Isaac I won’t eat anything out of it, passed your message along to swmbo we will see what she does. Sorry about your birds.

Hey, some of us prefer to conveniently overlook that salt and fat are the real killers!

Don't eat that plastic!  Did we tarrif that?  It may have been made here but we probably got the steel from China. Double tariff!

alaskanassasin

What is it for @Canugghead? Yes if made in th USA it’s safe

Arguable. Modern-day democracy was made in the USA but is not safe.

Been using mine for a couple of years now and I am still alive.  You have to be super careful with the non-stick coating, super easy to scratch.  I coat the sides and bottom with butter or flour before adding the dough, not needed if you do a tangzong bread dough.

RRP

Me? Well I spent some coins and purchased 25 reels of gasket material to have to preclude any immediate hit from tariff wars. {Translated: I hope to continue having not increased my prices now for 23 years.}

@DoubleEgger cloning it in China, j/k
@kl8ton you're right, amazoid.ca price is 25% higher than amazoid.com
@paqman that's what I heard, plan to coat with margarine and flour. Any right-sized lid-on recipe you can share?
@alaskanassasin for soft crust bread when baked with lid on
@GrateEggspectations she agrees

Bought a Kickash Can Basket combo today along with an after market Eggspander rack.

That pan is probably coated with the same material my 10,000 commercial pans are. It will last forever as long as you use soft instruments to remove the loaf. Nothing wrong with using food grade mineral oil (or butter) as a lubricant. Don’t run it thru the dishwasher and don’t use a scouring pad or anything abrasive on it. Mine get acid dipped and re-glazed twice a year. Zero cleaning in between. 

Canugghead

Thanks for sharing @ColbyLang, I was hoping you would chime in. I have been using drug store laxative grade mineral oil to season cutting boards, guess I can use it for the pan too 🤣

Removed the USA Pan packaging, lo and behold, the lid has a scratch on the underside and a small dent under the label. Product description page says eligible for return/refund but automated return process says otherwise, had to jump through hoops to get it settled. Yup, Proudly Made in the USA.
