ot washing them to look forward too you gotta take them apart and off-course there is egg all around the gaskets so they have to come out to clean, to wash 12 eggies cups n lids, gaskets etc and put them back together again your looking at an hour at-least after use, this product is a complete waste of time and money, I WISH I HAD OF LOOKED UP THE REVIEWS ON THIS PRODUCT BEFORE I EVER EVEN CONSIDE
