Rapid Egg Cooker

I picked up this Rapid Egg Cooker to simplify my mornings, and I’m mostly impressed with how it delivers. It’s a compact little gadget that can boil or poach eggs in minutes—no more watching a pot on the stove. The design is sleek and doesn’t take up much counter space, which is a big plus for my small kitchen. It comes with a measuring cup for water (key for getting the cook right) and trays for boiling, poaching, or even making a small omelet. My first batch of hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly cooked, and peeling them was easier than usual—huge win!What I love most is the convenience. I can toss in up to six eggs, set it, and walk away without worrying about timing. The buzzer at the end is loud enough to hear from another room, so no overcooking mishaps. It’s been a game-changer for quick breakfasts or meal prep.I’d recommend this Rapid Egg Cooker to anyone who loves eggs but hates the hassle. It’s not flawless, but it’s reliable and saves time.

Love this egg cooker! Easy to use and clean! Alerts you by song that your eggs are finished, lol! I highly recommend

Cute egg cooker. Fast and easy to make hard boiled eggs. Found that more water is needed (above the top line) and then waited 5 minutes before removing from the cooker. Place in cold ice water to stop them from cooking. Easy to peel and eat them right away! Very economical!

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.

This is a very handy kitchen gadget that does save me time, especially when it comes to standing over a frying pan or poaching pan to cook my eggs. Now, there are some things that you need to know in order to get the most out of this device. Here’s what I’ve found:1. If you are poaching eggs, you may find that they completed poached eggs are too watery and loose. One unusual aspect of this cooker is that the more water you measure and put into the boiling tray, the longer your cook time will be. That’s because the unit works by continuing to cook so long as there still is water present which the built-in sensor will detect. I had to experiment to get poached eggs to where I like them which ended up being either around the Soft line or between the Soft & Medium line on the poached eggs side of the water measuring cup. When I cook poached eggs I like to carefully take out the plastic poaching tray (it’s hot use pot holders or similar) to slightly tilt it so that excess water from the steam is removed around each of the eggs prior to me taking them to plate. Also, when I remove poached eggs I use a spoon to take them out of the plastic poaching tray instead of just turning the tray over on a plate. I do this because if you don’t you’ll invariably end up with extra water on your plate.2. Do not spill any eggs whites on the sides of the cooking plate, on the cooking plate, or even on the plastic cooking tray. That’s because you’ll have one heck of a time trying to clean the burned egg white off of the machine without damaging it. I had this happen once and I had to use a mixture of water and baking soda (let it sit for 20 minutes) in order to get things back to normal. It also took a heck of a lot of Magic Eraser and sponge scrubbing to complete it all.3. When you’re using the cooker, be sure to make sure that the small open hole of the plastic cover is pointed towards the back of your unit. You don’t really want hot steam blowing out towards the front near your face.4. Follow the directions in the manual and for the cooking suggestions use those as a good place to start, but fine-tune based on how you like your eggs.This is really a very handy machine. It works well, though one side does get a bit warmer than the other so one egg may be a little less/more cooked than the other, but no big deal. The size of the unit is perfect - not too small, not too big and easily cooks six hardboiled eggs at a time. Washing the plastic plates is very simple and takes almost no time. Ingenious little device and with the right fine-tuning information (like what I’ve tried to enter here) you’ll be well on your way to a really nicely cooked egg. It’s a recommend from me to anyone who likes eggs, but doesn’t like to deal with the standard cook time and process.
