Egg Cookers Buying Guide

Cooking an egg to perfection is a hard art to master.  Why not let an egg cooker do the work for you?  These novelty appliances  can cook your eggs from soft and medium to hard-boiled, without the hassle of having to constantly monitor them.  And many models can save you time by allowing you to cook up to eight eggs at one time.  Check out all the details on these handy kitchen tools  below.

Types of Egg Cookers

  • Microwave Egg Cookers 
    • Boiling eggs using your microwave  isn't recommended unless you use a specially designed microwave egg boiler or cookers. These appliances are specially designed to be microwave safe and boil you egg to perfection.
    • Microwave egg cookers are available in a bunch of different styles, whether they cater to a certain number of eggs or certain preparations (hard or soft-boiled).
  • Counter Egg Cookers 
    • These are equipped with a water reservoir, an electronic timer  ready signal, an egg poaching dish, a measuring cup and an egg piercer.
    • The best part of counter egg cookers is that they are available in a variety of elegant models that will compliment your kitchen.
  • Basted Egg Cookers 
    • Basting involves cooking the eggs with their own juices or some other marinade. Basted egg cookers help soak in flavour and keep eggs moist.
  • Plastic Egg Cookers 
    • These are designed to resist very high temperatures. Some plastic egg cookers can also be placed in a microwave and used as an egg boiler.
  • Steam Egg Cookers 
    • Almost all egg cookers are based on the concept of cooking with steam. Specifically, steam cookers come with a reservoir marked at different water levels, and the levels determine how hard or soft the eggs will be boiled.
    • Those cookers that do not have marked levels come with measuring cups.  Just fill the base with water, put the eggs in the tray and close the cooker to allow the water to boil and the steam to form. The eggs are then cooked in a manner that retains nutrients and flavour.
