It’s important that the heating plate maintains an even temperature and doesn’t get too hot, or eggs will always overcook, as was the case with the Cuisinart model. When the water evaporates, the eggs are done. As the heating plate heats - usually very quickly - the water boils and creates steam inside the dome.
Depending on how you want your eggs done, you’ll add water from an included measuring cup onto the heating element, load the eggs onto a plastic rack, then cover them with a plastic dome. The egg cooker heating plate resembles a mini hotplate. The following features are what we determined to be essential for an electric egg cooker. Our tests with the other egg cookers resulted in a dozen ruined eggs dumped down the garbage disposal. The only egg cooker that performed perfectly the first time was our top pick, Elite Gourmet. We believed this would be a good way to start since most people will follow the instructions if they’ve never used an egg cooker before. Our testing entailed making boiled eggs, poached eggs, and “omelets” (as all egg cookers erroneously call them) by first following the instruction manual. What you should be aware of is that you’ll need to experiment with an egg cooker and be willing to sacrifice a few eggs before you’ll get them the way you like. With a double-tiered egg cooker - like the BELLA or Cuisinart models we tested - you can cook 10-12 eggs in 15 minutes, so you’ll always have a quick snack or protein bite at hand. When it came to hard-boiled eggs, five of the six egg cookers we tested were pretty much “set it and forget it.” Poaching eggs was a different story we found that it was best to check the eggs once or twice to make sure they were done.Īn electric egg cooker is incredibly convenient if you want to cook a large batch of hard-boiled eggs for deviled eggs or egg salad for a party or picnic. An electric egg cooker takes out the guesswork of when an egg is over- or under-done. You need to time both exactly to produce a hard-boiled egg with a jammy center or a perfectly set poached egg that explodes a runny yolk over an English muffin. Hard-boiling eggs and poaching eggs take a bit more kitchen know-how than frying or scrambling eggs. A close runner-up is the DASH – Rapid Egg Cooker, another consistent and affordable egg cooker that turned out hard-boiled eggs with jammy yolks and perfect poached eggs for any breakfast or brunch dish. We hard-boiled, poached, and steamed five dozen eggs in six electric egg cookers and have determined that the Elite Gourmet – EGC-007B is the best egg cooker.
