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 - White (DEC005WH)

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 was skeptical how well this might work, but have been very impressed after using it. I purchased the six-egg version after a nutrition nurse recommended something similar. I've been hard-boiling eggs in a pan filled with water for years to make deviled eggs, or just simple hard-boiled eggs. Peeling has always been hit or miss, no matter what method I've used. This little gem, and some cold water, have changed the game for me.Use the included measuring cup to measure the amount of water you need for the desired doneness. Poke a hole in the large end of the egg, using that same measuring cup, and you get perfectly cooked eggs every time. It's really that simple. I wish I had known about this a couple of decades ago.

I honestly didn’t think I could fall in love with an egg cooker, but here we are. This little machine is a total game-changer. Whether I’m in the mood for soft, medium, or hard-boiled eggs, it nails it every single time. No more guessing, no more cracked shells, and no more standing over a boiling pot.It’s fast, easy to clean, and takes up almost no counter space. I even used it to make poached eggs and mini omelets – both came out better than expected. It’s like having a tiny, reliable chef dedicated to just eggs!If you love eggs and convenience, don’t even think twice. This egg cooker is the real deal. I use it almost daily and still smile every time the little timer goes off. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this egg cooker. The cooker comes with a little pin to stick the bottom of the eggs before you cook them. Then you fill the water container to the line for soft or hard boiled eggs. Once the water evaporates and alarm goes off and the eggs are done. I usually put them directly into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and cool them down enough to peel the eggs. The eggs peel very easily if you run them under water while peeling. My 10 year old daughter loves to use this to make her own eggs.
