   You know those objects that are totally unnecessary, but you see them and fall in love and live forever in happiness with your random kitschy thing? This is that thing. I saw this egg cooker on a Buzzfeed list and, even though I am a fully functioning adult who has never had trouble cooking eggs before in my life, I knew I had to have it. I have not been disappointed.It makes especially lovely, perfectly round omeletes with minimal cleanup required. Hard and soft boiled eggs cook evenly and taste great. The poached eggs are tender and melt in your mouth over toast.I do believe that the water (thus, time) required to cook eggs is based on room-temperature eggs, the way they’re kept in countries outside of the USA. If you keep your eggs in the fridge, add an extra third or so of water to the cooking time.As other reviews have mentioned, the timer alarm is LOUD. Like, picture a fire alarm mixed with an incoming nuclear missle alarm, but make it about 12 times louder. There’s no way to turn it off, so prepare to muffle it up with some cotton and tape if you want to keep your ears.It’s the perfect kitchen appliance. I grin from ear to ear every time I use it.

   After reading the reviews I was completely prepared to hear a horrid steaming screeching sound and horrendous scream at the end.. I was waiting so I could jump up and turn it off as I was thinking all my inside pets would all simultaneously hide and crap on the floor in fear. I waited and waited.. to hear this actually pleasant low chime telling me my eggs were done? ? Wait what? Yes I did actually read the instructions provided in the box. It clearly says do not lock the lid on .. so I didn’t. I poked the shells with the provided tool filled the water to my desired hard boiled line, put them in the way it shows as simply pushed the on button. After they were done I used tongs to put in cold water for a few minutes, then ate a perfectly hard boiled egg that was easy to de-shell. It wasn’t rubbery or odd shaped. This is a compact SUPER EASY to clean egg cooker that I’m glad I purchased. I’ve tried the different methods.. and this by far is my favorite. If you eat a lot of eggs this is a great buy. I have 0 negative thoughts about this product and feel confident recommending it to any egg lover!

   If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. If you’re particular about egg yolks like me and like them soft but not runny or raw, I’ve attached an image of a perfectly soft boiled egg that was cooked as directed (I timed it, this one was 11mins. You don’t have to time it at all as the buzzer will go off, just for reference). Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there…peels come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!??!?

   Its convenient, compact and time saving; this kitchen gadget is a game changer! I was hesitant but after reading all the reviews I was ready to try it and I am glad I did. Prep takes 30-45 seconds to fill the appropriate water level, poke the eggs and place in tray. Three eggs take about 7 minutes, six eggs takes about 11-12 minutes. Yes, but buzzer is obnoxious and annoying but it’s not designed to be pleasant- I appreciate that its loud and obnoxious, less chance of a fire. Once these puppies are cooked and cooled off, it is a breeze peeling and prepping. I used to hate making hard boiled eggs specifically because I’d have to peel them and lose 1/4 of the egg with the shell; thankfully none of that is the case with this device and i’m so glad I stumbled on it while browsing Amazon. Definitely recommend getting this product, you will not regret it!Also, I noticed there were some reviews complaining about the residue aftermath on the ‘base’ where the water boiled out but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. We have hard water and it cleans up just fine. It’s not any different than what we already experience on our pans but its just more shallow than your typical pan.

   I don’t like watching my pot to find out when the water starts boiling. So I bought this Dash Egg Cooker. It delivers perfect eggs by steaming them until the water placed in the device has evaporated. The exact amount of water is added to the cooker before it steams the eggs–there is a measuring line on the plastic cup that comes with the device. Next to each measuring line are the following words: “Hard Boiled, Soft Boiled, Poached, etc.” Fill the cup with water to the line for the egg type you want and then add the water to the device. Then simply puncture each egg with a spike that is attached to the measuring cup, place the eggs in the device with the hole on top (duh). You close it, press the button on front and walk away. When an alarm sounds, it turns off automatically. Your eggs are done. No need to watch water boil. No need for daily cleaning. It’s quite small. Love this thing. For under 18 dollars, what’s not to like?

   Update 2021:This cooker is going strong and awesome as ever. I’d give it 6 stars if possible. I started using the poaching tray this year and the eggs are perfect. It is imperative to use some non-stick spray in the tray for the egg to slide out. I’ve had great luck using water right at or slightly below the poaching line on the water cup. I use a little under when I am going to toss the eggs in some oatmeal to make an eggy porridge and they finish cooking in the warm oatmeal.Update 2020: Star rating changed from 4 to 5 – this cooker is boss.I’ve had this cooker over 2 years. It’s been used every day for the past year at least once, often twice and occasionally more. The sediment that builds up on the plate when doing hard cooked eggs is from the water. Pouring a little vinegar on the metal plate and letting it soak for a bit cleans it right up without too much scrubbing. I do the same with the egg holder platter and stem when it looks dingy and soap doesn’t clean it off. I still haven’t made poached eggs in the thing but I did get adventurous and started adding spinach to my omelettes. I need to fill the water just above the omelette line and let the egg patty sit in the cooker a few minutes to avoid a gooey center but it works well and is now my preferred prep method. The buzzer is as loud today as it was the first, a pro and con at the same time. I occasionally miss the buzzer when I’m in the back of the house but it dutifully continues to buzz, although occasionally intermittently, up to an hour later. No idea if it would continue past that point, I got tired of it and turned it off.Original review 2018:I’ve had this cooker about a month and I have used it several times every week.Hard/Medium boil: – The marking for hard boil on the cup resulted in eggs that had a slightly squishy yolk in the center which is no good for deviled eggs so I fill the water cup almost all the way to the top so it cooks a bit longer. I can boil 1 or 6 eggs at a time and they all come out the same level of doneness with the same amount of water and wait time after the buzz. I do leave them in the cooker a few minutes for a hard boil just to be sure the yolks are solid and I have yet to get any green or tough yolks doing this and the whites remain tender as well. The medium line was pretty good for the softer eggs I ate as a snack by themselves. I haven’t tried making soft boiled eggs as the medium boil was as soft as I like! VS cooking on the stove, the eggs from the cooker cool much quicker and without ice in the water, plus they peel just as easy a few days later right from the fridge. Not sure if I’d leave them past a few days as the shell needs piercing for boiling, but so far so good on 2-3 days. Also as mentioned in other reviews there is discoloration on the heating plate after boiling eggs but it doesn’t occur when using either of the egg cooking platter so I do not think it is rust but sediment from the shells.Omelette: – The markings for omelette are right on for me. I get a nice firmly formed egg that is still tender and an interesting puffy top layer. It isn’t so much an omelette as a thick egg patty and perfect for a sandwich on toast or a bun. There is a bit of overhang on an english muffin, but not so much you can’t make it work. The recipe booklet says you can add things like spinach to the egg in the cooker but I haven’t tried that yet. After the buzzer goes off I can add some cheese to the top and cover it for a minute while bread is toasting and the cheese melts nicely. Be sure to use vegetable spray to coat the cooking cup for easy release.Poaching: – Haven’t tried poaching myself but a friend has and said it worked well. Again, need to use that spray or else it’s a mess and hard to get out!Other thoughts: – I wasn’t shopping for an egg cooker, or even thought I needed one, before I saw this listed as a lightning deal around Thanksgiving. After reading so many funny and entertaining reviews regarding the buzzer I had to hear it for myself! I was a little disappointed that the sound wasn’t quite the ‘Klaxon of Doom’ I had been expecting. It is more like a high pitched annoying perpetual buzz that you really don’t want to continue listening to but could easily be missed if the washer/dryer/dishwasher was going at the same time and you’re a few rooms away. Overall the cooker does a great job making it possible to get a hot breakfast made while getting ready in the morning. I’ve probably saved hours of time and hassle on the few dozen hard boiled eggs alone. I wouldn’t be without the cooker now and aside from the urge to make a REAL omelette now and again (with 3 eggs), I am happy to let this cooker handle all of my egg cooking needs.

   What a cute little gadget to have in the kitchen. It’s super small and doesn’t take up much space at all. I was excited to use it when it arrived. The first thing I tried to make was an omelette. I broke 2 eggs I got out of the fridge and followed the instructions. My egg came out completely raw after it finished. I tried it again the next day and again, raw. However, I found out that it was my mistake. It was still raw because I got cold eggs from the fridge to use so make sure you use an egg at room temperature for optimal results. The third time I made an omelette with a room temperature egg, it came out perfectly! Making boiled eggs, omelettes and poached eggs have been a breeze thus far. The only problem I would say I have with this is the sound it makes when your egg is done. It’s annoyingly loud, but some people might like it. Highly recommended!Easy to use 5/5 *****Easy to clean 5/5 *****Noise level 5/5 *****My Recommendation 5/5 *****

   One of my trainers recommended I buy this since she makes hard boiled eggs daily. After reading the reviews at first I was iffy since a lot of people were complaining about it getting dirty after using it or it being difficult to clean. Hard boiled eggs are a pain (in my opinion) to make all the time so I figured I would still buy it since it was pretty inexpensive. I am so happy that I did! The instruction booklet explains how to make lots of different eggs, I however have only tried hard boiled so far. They come out 100% perfect every single time as you can see in the picture. As for the device it does get dirty after using it but I am able to easily clean it with water or vinegar & water after each use (or two if I’m being lazy) and it’s brand new! I would highly recommend this to anyone!

   Use this all the time and it works great! My husband thought I was wasting my money and now he is hooked on using it also. It is so easy to use: 1. You just pierce the eggs with the special point that is on the bottom of the water measuring cup. 2 Put the eggs in the special egg holder with handle that makes it easy to remove. 3. Add the water from the special measuring cup that is marked showing soft, medium and hard boiled. 4 plug it it in and in about 12-15 minutes the alarm goes off so you know they are done. A tip to be aware of is do NOT lock the cover when cooking or it will not go on, also the metal plate is super easy to clean just wipe it with a vinegar water solution. Once the alarm goes off, take off the cover be careful as there is a bit of steam, I just place them in a bowl of water using the handle to cool off while I get ready for work. I do not know why but the eggs seem to slide out of their shells when peeling using this machine. It also comes with another accessory to make mini omelets or steamed veggies which I have not used yet, but plan too. One last thing you will get a recipe book for ideas to try also. I love this!

    This mom’s new go to appliance.I make bento lunches for my son, and his favorite is hard-boiled eggs!I toss six eggs in with less than a 1/4 cup of water and 14 minutes later the unit shuts off by itself and I come back and easily peel the eggs. (I mean the shells slide off!!)I no longer have to wait for water to boil or watch and wait to turn off the stove.The eggs cook while the kids are in the tub and voilà lunch/breakfast is ready for the next morning. And I’m guessing if I forget or run behind I could have these ready while he get dressed for school in the morning!Custom omelette’s in a hurry is my next adventure!And did I mention how tiny and cute it is? Perfect for a kitchen with limited counterspace! See the picture for size comparison next to a one cup measure!
