DASH Rapid Egg Cooker: 7 Egg Capacity Electric Egg Cooker for Hard Boiled Eggs, Poached Eggs, Scrambled Eggs, or Omelets with Auto Shut Off Feature – Black’ by DASH

Best hard boiled egg maker, easy, fast, easy to clean up, the eggs come out perfect every time, great kitchen tool! Love it

Estoy encantada con el aparato, funciona perfectamente! Creí que iba a ser difícil pinchar los cascarones con la aguja para preparar huevos duros pero es muy sencillo. No se les forma la capa gris verdosa a las yemas y se pelan súper fácil, sin que se les quede pegada la clara como cuando los cocino en agua hirviendo. Si les disgusta que los huevos tengan una parte de la clara cruda y la yema totalmente líquida solo hay que agregar más agua de lo que marca el vasito. Al omelette le puse casi todo el vasito y salió bien cocinado y con poca humedad, a dos huevos escalfados les puse agua hasta unos 2.5 cm antes del borde del vasito y salieron bien cocinados con la clara totalmente cocida la yema sólida pero ligeramente cremosa y de color naranja muy intenso. Como no me gusta el sabor del aceite en aerosol engraso los moldecitos directamente con la barra de mantequilla y no se pega nada. Uso muchísima menos grasa que al cocinar en la estufa y me encanta que los huevos siempre salen igual si agrego la misma cantidad de agua y que puedo hacer otra cosa en lo que están listos. Algunos mencionan que el aparato avisa que ya terminó con una alarma muy fea pero mi aparato tiene una melodía muy bonita.

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.

I’ll never boil eggs in a pan of water again. I’ve “hard boiled” several dozen eggs since getting this and it’s been fantastic. The directions are straightforward, the device is simple to use, and the results are great.
Make sure you poke a hole in the shell before cooking, using the provided tool. It was a bit disconcerting at first, as I expected the egg to shatter, but it was no problem. Also, make sure to place the cooked eggs in cold water when they’re done.
The alarm that sounds when it’s ready is a bit loud and mildly annoying, but no biggie.
It’s small and will not take up a lot of storage space.
The amount of water you use will determine the “hardness” of the eggs when done. So you can easily achieve eggs cooked to your liking.
It comes with an omelette tray that is only good for two, one egg “omelettes”, but it’s kinda cool.
The bottom line is you get a perfectly cooked, easy to peel egg. For the money, it’s great and I’d recommend it to anyone that hates the unpredictable and cumbersome process of boiling eggs in a pan.

This little guy is definitely a kitchen staple for me. It cooks eggs perfectly every time, and takes way less effort than boiling them on the stove. It’s held up great after a year of (albeit occasional) use. My only gripe is that the timer noise isn’t auto off, you have to manually turn it off or it’ll keep playing indefinitely. I think. Or else it just stays on for a very, very long time. But that is definitely not a big issue in the grand scheme of things (and certainly not something I’ll subtract a star for).
