This clever $25 appliance makes poached, soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs.
I love silky poached eggs, and if I could eat them daily, I would: Crammed with protein and healthy fat, they’re both delicious and perfect fuel for my day. But half-awake on a weekday morning, I simply don’t have the energy or wherewithal to bring an egg to jiggly perfection in gently swirling water, nor have I mastered preparing them ahead of time in bulk. Luckily, Amazon shoppers swear by the Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker as the perfect workaround.
Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker
Shaped like an egg, this clever tool can hard-boil, soft-boil and poach eggs—even more impressive, it can scramble them or make an omelet. This double-decker cooker offers an advantage over the original Dash Rapid Egg Cookerwhich can hold only seven eggs: This one can cook up to a dozen eggs in one go. It’s no wonder one Amazon shopper said, “This egg cooker is the best kitchen gadget I have ever bought.”
The Dash Deluxe produces steam by heating water in its base to cook any style of eggs you choose in less time than the stovetop. The gadget is decked out with plenty of functional details, like an internal thermal sensor to perfectly cook your eggs, a chime to signal the end of the cooking cycle and an auto-off function for extra peace of mind.
As someone who regularly reads customer reviews as I research kitchen products, I have to admit I was staggered by the quality of the Dash Deluxe’s reviews. It has earned over 31,000 five-star ratings at Amazon, and the ones accompanied by written reviews are nothing short of glowing. One shopper called the Dash Deluxe their “mini kitchen assistant.” Unlike boiling or poaching eggs on the stovetop, which might produce clingy shells or inconsistent yolks, the Dash is unwavering from egg to egg and batch to batch. One customer shared, “I’m not just talking a few perfect eggs, this little miracle worker produced three dozen flawless, perfect eggs. I could have cried.” Another shopper added, “I can honestly say 99% of the eggs peel quickly and easily.”
Not only am I excited to use the Dash Deluxe for all my egg cooking needs, but I’m also looking forward to trying it for my other meals, too. One shopper shared that they tried cooking broccoli in it and “will never steam it in a pot again,” while another customer said that shrimp dumplings were “perfect and delicious” when prepared in the Dash Deluxe.
Depending on the mineral content of your water, the Dash Deluxe’s metal water reservoir may accumulate limescale, but multiple shoppers suggested soaking or wiping the tray with white vinegar—any build-up “comes right off.”
I can’t wait to try the Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker for myself, especially now that it’s marked down to $25 in the aqua color. Multiple Amazon shoppers have gifted the Dash Deluxe to their friends, so I may even snag two. What better gift than easy, delicious breakfasts, right? I have no doubt that this tool will become essential not only to me, but also to everyone with an upcoming birthday on my list.
