Bad outcomes when cooking FD eggs are usually due to using insufficient water when rehydrating, or improper cooking. FD eggs actually are quite touchy and difficult to cook. I think the packets that you just add water are a lot easier. Take some real cheese and summer sausage to add to the eggs and they will taste much better. If you add salty stuff be sure to get eggs that have not already been salted. I think they taste OK (even if not like the real thing) but I really do not like cooking them - too much mess!
