DASH Rapid Egg Cooker: 6 Egg Capacity Electric Egg Cooker for Hard Boiled Eggs, Poached Eggs, Scrambled Eggs, or Omelets with Auto Shut Off Feature - Black

I never thought I’d get excited about cooking eggs, but the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker seriously makes life easier. Whether you’re into hard-boiled, soft-boiled, poached, or even mini omelets, this thing handles it all with almost zero effort.I mostly use it for hard- and medium-boiled eggs, and they come out consistently great. The included measuring cup makes it simple—you just fill it to the line for the doneness you want, pour it in, poke a tiny hole in the eggs with the built-in pin, and hit the power button. That’s it. You can walk away and do other stuff while it cooks.The best part? The eggs peel ridiculously easily. I’ve ruined way too many eggs trying to peel them from stovetop boiling—this totally solves that. Perfect for meal prep, deviled eggs, or just grabbing a quick protein snack.Cleaning is a breeze too. The tray, lid, and accessories wipe clean easily or go in the dishwasher, and the whole unit is small enough to leave on the counter or tuck in a drawer.A few things to note:• If you like soft-boiled eggs, expect to do a little experimenting. The water levels can be finicky, and it’s easy to overshoot and end up with medium or hard.• The buzzer/alarm is LOUD. It’s a fun little tune, but it won’t stop until you shut it off manually—just be ready for that if you’re in another room.• Also, it only makes up to 6 eggs at once (or 12 if you get the larger model), so it’s not ideal for huge batches.Overall, this is one of the best little kitchen gadgets I’ve bought. It’s cheap, convenient, and saves a ton of time and cleanup compared to boiling water on the stove. If you eat eggs regularly, this thing pays for itself fast. Highly recommend.

I bought this after trying an Elite Gourmet egg cooker for a couple months. The one thing they have in common is that both of them make perfect hard boiled eggs. In every other sense this Dash egg cooker is very easily my favorite. The water fill cup has raised numbers and letters as opposed to black paint. On the Elite Gourmet water fill cup that black paint is already near completely gone and hard to read. When the Dash cooker is done it has a pleasant chime to it. When the Elite cooker is done it has a blood curdling squelch that can be heard from a mile away. The Dash cooker is also a couple minutes faster. After steaming eggs in either egg cooker they stay extremely hot for a while. So it's best to cool them off in the fridge for a few minutes. With this egg cooker it comes with a centerpiece that you can grab to pick up all the eggs and place them in the fridge at the same time. Previously I had to quickly grab the eggs with my hands and put them in a bowl to run cold water over them. In every way this is what I was looking for after trying an Elite Gourmet egg cooker.

If you read (and follow) the instructions you'll have the best experience with the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker. I received it, read the instruction booklet, unpacked it, washed the washable parts, watched Dash's little "how to" videos and quickly made 2 poached eggs. They were perfect! Not too runny, not at all hard and moist & delicious as well.I quickly prepared 7 eggs for hard cooking by poking the wide end of the egg with the provided tool, adding the correct amount of water and putting the cover on the cooker. I got 7 perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs.While I was learning how to use the tool to poke holes in the eggs I was being overly cautious and managed to break 2 eggs by squeezing too hard and breaking the shell of one -- in multiple places -- with my fingers. I broke a 2nd one by pushing the tool almost sideways making a bigger hole with a small crack in it. I chalked those 2 up to experience and set them aside. I then cooked 7 intact eggs in the cooker. They came out perfect and unexpectedly easy to peel.I've never been able to boil any number of eggs without a few cracking badly so losing 2 to the learning experience still left me ahead in the hard cooking eggs game.After making the first 7 eggs, I decided to "see what would happen" if I cooked the 2 broken eggs in the egg cooker even though they were badly broken. Please note that the first egg was essentially crushed with a little bit of egg white oozing out between the broken pieces of egg shell. The other egg was slightly cracked with a larger than necessary square hole in it. I assumed that both wood ooze out quite a bit of egg into the cooker. I added the appropriate amount of water, crossed my fingers and turned it on. The egg timer went off and I opened the cooker.Both eggs appeared to be intact with no leakage whatsoever. A big surprise. I cooled and peeled both eggs and they were absolutely intact and tasted great. The broken one was misshapen looking in the shell but once the shell was (easily) removed it looked fine, only slightly lumpy at the top of the egg - the part that is usually flat in hard boiled eggs. Even though some of the egg white had oozed out of the cracks in the shell, the egg itself, the egg looked fine. It would have been fine for most uses unless you were looking for a perfect shape for deviled eggs for example. Boiling an egg generally leaves a flat spot on the broad end of the egg, so normally that perfect shape just doesn't happen.So, my first 3 attempts using this egg cooker far exceeded my expectations and the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker is definitely a keeper for me.BTW: Reading and following the instructions is, in my opinion, essential to successfully using this cooker.Viewing the video that is included in the product listing is also very helpful: it gives a good idea of what to expect and you can observe what it looks like to use the cooker successfully.I learned from watching the video that using the needle provided to poke a hole in the larger end of the egg helps to prevent the eggs from cracking, makes the shells much easier to peel and allows the wider end of the egg to expand to fill the rounded shape of the shell giving a perfect egg shape on both ends for much better looking eggs for any dish where the shape of the whole egg is visible such as for deviled eggs.The video also explains why the provided measuring cup indicates that LESS water is used for MORE eggs being cooked which is counterintuitive. A number of reviewers have commented on this seeming mis-measurement; assuming the cup was incorrectly markedI can't recall ever being this pleased with an online purchase and I will be using Dash's Rapid Egg Cooker regularly.

I purchased this egg steamer in late June for the express purpose of hard boiling (steaming) eggs. I love egg salad and plain old hard-boiled eggs. I figured after all the fuss I go through boilings eggs and butchering them in the peeling process, why not try something different. I didn’t think it too much a gamble to for less than $20 take ChatGPT’s advice and try this particular steamer.Wow! I was blown away with product! Simple, easy-to-follow instructions and operation allowed me to produce fantastic hard boiled eggs. But the real coup de grace was in my peeling them! AMAZING! Shells peeled off effortlessly, with large sections of shell almost sliding off.The steamer does a whole lot of other things, but I don’t care. It’s all about the eggs fo me!I whole-heartedly recommend this product.
