Eggs are not that easy to manage via a conventional way of cooking. Proper timing and the right preparation is needed so as to have good results. An egg cooker will help you do egg cooking the way you want it to. Popular models like electric and microwaveable egg cookers allow us save time and effort.



An egg cooker consists of a heating element in a base which is filled with water. The rack inside holds the eggs and at the same time the plastic cover will hold the heat. A cooker can be set in a soft, medium and hard boiled mode. A timer will then automatically tell if the egg is done. Aside from this, the thermostat will maintain it in fixed or steady temperatures, unlike ordinary pans or casseroles.

Microwave egg cookers are an automatic type of kitchen appliance that is especially made for faster egg cooking. Electric egg cookers are handy and convenient to use. One can make poached eggs with the help of this appliance.

Some egg cookers even have pouch control settings. Other models are featured with small points in their boiled egg racks so as to pierce the eggshell. It will leach out the egg's sulfur and will result to lemon yellow yolks.

Different brands may differ depending on how many eggs will fit in at the same time. Egg cookers ranges from $20 to $60 depending on its type and the materials used.
