Egg cookers are great little devices and I have been using them for about three years now and I would definitely recommend them no matter what brand you go for. My current egg cooker has the capacity for six boiled eggs and a tray for two poached eggs but when I saw this was on offer I couldn’t resist with it taking seven eggs and a poaching container that will take four eggs at a time.
This does a great job and the buzzer when they are ready is loud and clear so you won’t miss when they are finished, I was not keen on the lid as I am used to a solid plastic one with a handle on the top for easy removal and this one would have been far better with some sort of handle moulded into the lid. The measuring container is fluted which I also feel is a bit of a mistake as it makes it harder for fine adjustment on the water quantity, it has an egg piercing pin on the bottom although this is something I have never used as I just boil them as is because I am always worried I will either smash the egg or they will burst in the cooker.
I tested it out first with seven boiled eggs and it did a superb job and I also find eggs out of egg cookers are really easy the shell, I then tried four poached eggs, I found with medium size eggs it fills each section to the top so steady hands are needed when putting them in the cooker or you can remove some of the white, the measurement for poached eggs is way out for how I like them and they all came out almost hard when I like the yoke runny although I have since found the exact level of water needed for how I like them and to be fair I found exactly the same issue with my other egg cooker. With poached eggs always make sure you coat the container with a little bit of oil then they come out nice and easy.
Overall this is a great little device and if you like boiled eggs or poached eggs it’s a hassle free way of cooking them quickly, it does a really good job of boiled eggs and poached eggs, I haven’t tried it for steaming vegetables and doubt I ever will but don’t see why it shouldn’t give good results, it’s let down a bit by the lid for me but it’s not really a big deal. Just as an added note I clean mine now and again with a little descaler as they do tend to get a bit scaled up after a while.
