Welcome to the last site you will need to visit if you are on the hunt for an egg cooker. Take a look around we are completely obsessed with eggs, hard boiled, soft boiled even poached eggs. And although we tend to be old school and favor the old pan and hot water approach to cooking eggs we do understand that there are many situations where you would need an egg cooker. In fact each one of us has owned at least 3 egg cookers and our record is actually of 7 egg cookers in as many months. Of course you don’t need to take our word on what’s the best egg cooker but we might be able to give you an idea or two.
OK, to start off with the egg cooker shoot out we have the Clint Eastwood of the breakfast home appliances which is the Back to Basics TEM500. The name might not be very inspiring but if you’ll take a look at the picture you’ll notice that this beast of a machine can prepare two toasts while poaching an egg and warming up the bacon. More than that it can steam cook 4 eggs to whatever level you might want them to be from hard boiled to soft creamy delicious goodness. Almost everything on this egg cooker is actually removable so you can have everything washed and stored away.
Of course none could compete with the Back to Basics egg cooker except that it is the most expensive one you could get and you might just not be that impressed with its multi-functionality. This is why the second egg cooker we are going to look at, is the Nordic Ware microwave solution. It not only works by cooking the eggs in the microwave but it also comes in at a micro price. You will need to play around because in actuality the heating levels on microwaves are never the same from one device to another so the instructions that come with the egg cooker are to be regarded more like a guide then like a rule.
And, yes, yes, we have been tarring too long with the eccentric egg cooker world and have not looked at some classic designs. This is exactly where the West Bend 86628 comes in. It is by far the most straight forward egg cooker, being able to take up to 7 eggs from raw state to soft, hard or medium boiled. And it can take 4 eggs to 4 poached eggs in 3 minutes flat. After which, of course, everything is detachable and goes in the washer for the next time you feel like enjoying some nicely cooked eggs.
Last but most certainly not least if you are a family man… or most likely woman and would like to have a nice egg cooker that will not only get the job done but entertain the kids than the Maverick Henrietta Egg Cooker! Finally we have an egg cooker that doesn’t have a number in the name. And it looks like a hen! What more do you want? The kids will be blown away and it does everything you will need it to do so, excuse me sounding like a broken record: it cooks up to 7 eggs to hard, soft or medium boiled state, it poaches up to eggs and it comes apart easily and is dishwasher safe. And, yes, it is the only egg cooker that will make everyone coming in your home have a giggle and then a serious internet search to get their own.
So as they say in the cooking channels: Bon appetite!
