VonShef Premium Electric Egg Boiler for 16 Eggs with Poacher and Omelette Maker Bowl

5* excellent piece of kit, quick & efficient to use, highly recommended.

If you've never used and egg cooker, you really must give them a go. You see them in catalogues, shops etc, and think what a lot of faff for just boiling an egg... However, by using a precise measurement of water each time, you get perfectly cooked eggs, reliably to the texture you like. The device then turns off and goes into a keep warm setting. Additionally this really is the quickest way to boil an egg as they start cooking almost immeidately as so little water is used. This device has one huge advantage over many, that it doesn't have a buzzer so you have to rush around the house back to the cooker to switch it off, it simply goes into a keep warm mode and keeps the eggs until YOU are ready for them. Typically it takes around 3 minutes for soft boiled eggs, a little longer for hard boiled. Also this device has a much simplier instructions, and you only need to remember the amount of water for 1-8 eggs or 9 to 16 eggs (I've never needed to cook this many but assume it works well with two levels as well as one. If your into body building or just need to feed a family lots of eggs, or run a bed and breakfast this really is ideal, and mine gets used several times a day. It also comes with handy trays for making coddled or 'poached' eggs, similar to the ones you get in McDonalds, only nicer!

This is good for its efficiency

I love this , I decided to buy it after everyone in the house wanted mushed eggs in a cup. Usually the speciality of my husband when he is home on leave. I didn't want to go through heating a big pot of water and boiling nine eggs , so I was happy to see this does 16 boiled eggs . I used it for 4 poached eggs first , they came out really well but next time I will use a little less water as I like the yokes softer. Boiled eggs came out great but a little to hard boiled for my liking , so again next time a little less water. I have not tryed an omelette yet as their is only one tray , maybe I will try it when in on my own. I wish I had had one of these when my children were small, still it is great for when I have the grandson's. The thing I will use it for most is for boiled eggs , no more trying to lift heavy pans of boiling water. The boiler itself is small and compact which means it can sit on the worktop without taking up to much space. It is very light in weight, it has two teirs eight eggs on each and you can take one away if you need to cook only a few . I am very happy I decided to buy this egg boiler and would recommend it.

Would be far better with actual settings on the front for different cooking types, as it only has on and off.
