My experience was the same as the previous review, it started to seize up and turn to scrambled eggs. I too whisked it to death and all was well, but scared me out of my mind. I definitely could not cook it one minute as it said, I did force myself to cook it about 45 seconds while whisking like crazy. Anyway, flavor was great!
