Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker - Boiler, Poacher & Steamer - Includes Measuring & Recipe Guide - Dishwasher Safe - Holds 12 Eggs, Black

LONG review - includes how to clean off hard water spots that look like rust This is a KETO / LOW CARB best friend - Makes eggs made fast, so easy, no-brainer hard boiled eggs. How did I get by without this? I was buying (6) pre-shelled EGGLANDS BEST hard boiled eggs at $3.75 a pack, mostly because I had such a hard time making hard boiled eggs without them coming out MEH at best. I tried all the hacks, even Tim Ferris' youtube version, and they would never peel right, took a lot of time, just made me miserable... so I just paid for them. We started a KETOGENIC / LOW CARB diet lifestyle, and with (3) people (me / hubby / son), that means we go through A LOT of eggs each and every week. They kept begging me to make deviled eggs, but I just couldn't justify the pre-cooked hard boiled version at $3.75 a pop for SIX eggs from the store. So I started researching how to make easy eggs, and this rapid egg cooker kept coming up. There's a smaller version (cooks up to 8 eggs), but this is just a few dollars more, and has a SMALL footprint on the counter, stacks up for easy storage, so I'm glad I went bigger. It comes with a little water measuring cup, with a punch on the end to make a hole in the top of the eggs before you cook them. This really makes it easier to take the shell off in the end, so by all means, use it! I believe that the water, once steamed off, makes the device buzz to tell you that the eggs are ready. I haven't made soft boiled eggs yet, but have made medium and hard boiled, and now I have warm, yummy eggs every morning for breakfast - super cheap, super easy! Here's how I make hard boiled eggs with this cooker: -- Set up device, read instruction quick sheet, determine how much water I will need for a dozen hard boiled eggs -- Fill the measuring device with water, put in bottom of device, and then set up plastic egg holder/bottom level -- Punch holes in the FAT SIDE of 8 eggs, put in plastic egg holder/bottom level -- NOTE - Be sure to put the side with the hole UP, so the egg doesn't leak into the unit -- NOTE - Puncturing the FAT SIDE of the egg will make it MUCH EASIER to remove the shells later... trust me, this is a good idea -- Put outside plastic level one over eggs, and then set up plastic egg holder/top level -- Punch holed in top of 4 remaining eggs, put them in plastic egg holder/top level -- Put top on device, check to ensure it's together firmly, steam hole pointing AWAY from any potential burn hazards -- Turn on blue button, and then wait until it BUZZES to let me know it's done -- While waiting, I set up an ice bath for the eggs in sink. I use a BIG BLUE ice pack (for coolers) or two to make it easy, big bowl, water. -- When it BUZZES, I turn off the blue button, lift the lid carefully to avoid steam burn -- Quickly move eggs from device to water -- NOTE - sometimes, some egg will OOOZE out of the top of the egg hole I made. No worries, it's easy to take off, and it's cooked too -- After 10 minutes, I come back to the egg bath, and start to run cold water in the sink -- One by one, I will crack each egg near the top/the egg hole I made -- Under mild cold running water, I peel away the shell. Super fast and easy! -- NOTE - make sure you break the membrane of the egg when you take off the first piece of shell, this will make it very easy -- Put the shelled eggs on a plate with a paper towel, then transfer to fridge OR start making deviled eggs (yum!) Many people have noted that using this cooker, they will get discoloration (rust colored, or white, spots) on the hot plate portion. That is from hard water, and it is really easy to clean. Here's how I do it: -- Get a magic eraser (you could use a sponge, but I like these best) -- Use the measuring cup, and put 1 part white vinegar, 9 parts water, then put in cooker - DO NOT OVERFILL -- You could add a bit more vinegar, no more than 3 parts to 7 parts water -- Just bring it to a boil, without the plastic egg holder/bottom level or any of the other parts. You're just trying to get it to bubble. -- TURN OFF quickly, unplug device, and CAREFULLY dump out the water mixture -- You should notice that some of the spots have already come off the device - thanks, vinegar! -- Use a wet MAGIC ERASER, or sponge, to wipe down the hot plate. It's still warm, so be careful!!! -- Towel dry - poof! Silver, shiny, just like new! You will have to experiment with the egg cooker to find your sweet spot for soft boiled eggs, as other reviewers have noted, but I really enjoy the medium boiled eggs every morning for breakfast. See my photo to see a typical keto breakfast... just add coffee and heavy cream, and you're super satisfied for HOURS. The red sauce you see is Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce, which I also use a lot... check it out. If you're going to make and store hard boiled eggs in the fridge, or transport them, please consider Snapware - Snap 'N Stack Food Egg 2 Layer case (look it up on Amazon). You get (2) of these for $20, and you can easily store hard boiled or deviled eggs in this thing with ease. Makes it so much easier to be the KETO Meow-ma, without being in the kitchen 24/7 for my hungry boys.

Don’t be fooled by knock off imitations. You definitely want to buy the dash brand. I have two of them and they work great. Eggs come out exactly as you want them, and it has a chime sound to notify you when they’re finished. It’s easy to clean and simple to use. A friend tried one of the aftermarket ones, does not work nearly as well, and has no chime to let you know when they’re finished. She ended up donating it out and ordering a dash. Such a handy little kitchen appliance. I bought both the 12 egg version and the seven egg version.

This product is a GAME CHANGER in making deviled eggs or mini omelets!! I highly recommend it! egg quality were perfect.. easy to use.. exact cooking time is VERY ACCURATE! Love this cooker!

My wife has had her DASH Deluxe Rapid Egg Cooker for about three years now, and it’s been a surprisingly reliable little workhorse. She used it at least twice a week, mostly for hard-boiled eggs, but also for poached eggs, omelets, and the occasional batch of steamed veggies or dumplings. Performance: It consistently delivered perfectly cooked eggs with very little fuss. The hard-boiled eggs came out easy to peel, and the poached egg tray worked well once I got the timing right. She also appreciated being able to cook a full dozen eggs at once, which was great for meal prep. Convenience: The auto shut-off feature was a lifesaver - She never had to worry about overcooking or hovering over the kitchen counter. The measuring cup with built-in egg piercer made the process straightforward, and cleanup was quick since most parts just needed a rinse. Durability: For an appliance at this price point, lasting three years with frequent use is pretty impressive. Toward the end of its life, She noticed it took a little longer to cook and the heating plate showed wear, but I think that’s expected with this type of appliance. Overall: The DASH Deluxe Egg Cooker is a compact, versatile tool that made weekly cooking easier and more efficient. If you eat a lot of eggs or want a fuss-free way to prep them in bulk, it’s absolutely worth it. This one lasted three solid years of regular use, I've already purchased her a replacement of the same model.

I really love this egg cooker , the eggs cooked perfectly , I haven't used the egg poacher dishes , don't like poached eggs ... This unit is really easy to use , everything's easy to clean , except ... I'm not happy with the hot pan , wish they would use stainless steel , as every time I use it , it leaves burn marks on it ... I returned the smaller unit that I bought , just for the same reason that pan gets burn marks easily on it . This one I'm keeping it Cooks more eggs perfectly , hopefully they'll solve the problem of the pan on the bottom and change it to stainless steel ...

I used to have a Henrietta Egg Cooker that chirped when the eggs were done cooking. Unfortunately, she finally wore out, and it was time for me to find another great one. The excellent reviews convinced me to buy a Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker, That Holds 12 Eggs, Black, and I wasn’t disappointed in its performance. I take plenty of photos when I review a product to show how I formed my honest opinion while using the item, but they don't always upload in sequential order. If you study the product page, this comes with many pieces to assemble and use. The Quick Start Guide and Instruction Manual with Recipe Guide are easy to read and follow with accompanying photos, charts, and diagrams. Having used Henrietta, I already knew that I needed to pierce the large bottom of each egg, but it’s not always that easy to pierce an eggshell. I did cause a few hairline cracks, as you can see in some photos, but I knew from experience that the cracks weren’t severe enough to interfere with cooking those eggs in the Dash. I made sure all of the pierced ends were pointing up. I filled the labeled measuring cup with water I then poured into the Dash hotplate to cook a dozen pierced eggs. According to the chart, it was to take 20 minutes. Out of curiosity, I set my own timer to see how long the Dash would take before sounding its loud musical alarm (video), and it actually took 18 minutes. I also took a photo at minute 8:45 just to show the heavy condensation in the Dash. At that time, I filled my bowl of ice water in the sink so that I could chill the eggs quickly when they were done cooking. Because the Dash was so hot, it was easy and safe to remove the lid by using the handle. Some of the hairline cracks were more apparent once the eggs were cooked. Then I used my silicone tongs to lift out each hot egg that I temporarily placed back into the egg carton. That way, I could take it to the sink and gently drop each egg into the bowl of ice water to cool. The hotplate looked pretty grungy, which was typical with my old egg cooker, which was difficult to get clean. Dash suggests you make a solution of water and vinegar. Instead, I sprayed some Lemi Shine and let it sit for about 5 minutes before I scrubbed with a non-scratch sponge. Most of the ice melted in the bowl, which was a signal they were cool enough to peel and cut one in half. My boyfriend did the honors. The egg cooked perfectly, and he enjoyed eating two of them for a snack. After washing and drying the Dash, I figured out I could store all of the pieces inside the unit, which was a very nice surprise. I’m happy with the Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker in which I can cook any number of eggs; just follow the chart’s suggestion for how much water to pour into the hotplate. I highly recommend this product.
