When cooking hard boiled eggs for your recipes, egg cookers offer many benefits over cooking eggs on the stove. First, if you cook eggs more than once a month, automatic egg cookers are a great time saver, as you basically set the cooker and forget it. You add the eggs, choose soft or hard, even poached eggs, and turn the cooker on.

Additionally, there's no open pan of boiling water. If you have small children, an egg cooker helps minimize the possibility of boiling water accidents. And for those who find it difficult to handle heavy objects, an egg cooker is a great choice because there's no worries about trying to handle a pot full of hot water. With an egg cooker, everything happens automatically. The timers turn off at the moment of optimal doneness.

Below are three links to purchase three egg cookers I feel are of good quality:

Oster 8-Egg Cooker

Cooking eggs has never been easier! Just plug it in and this Oster appliance cooks up to 8 hard, medium or soft eggs in a matter of minutes! Steam heat poaches up to 4 eggs. A light and signal alert you when the eggs are ready for serving; the egg cooker shuts itself off automatically. The nonstick, no-stain surface provides ease of cooking and quick cleanup.

Krups Egg Cooker and Poacher

This egg cooker holds up to seven eggs for boiling to your liking - soft, medium or hard. A signal alerts you when they're finished cooking - just remove them or flip the switch to keep them warm. Afterwards, the egg holder slips out so you can rinse them under cold tap water without having to touch each one still hot from boiling. This cooker has a water level indicator and comes with an egg piercer. The lid and holder are both dishwasher-safe.

Cuisinart Egg Cooker and Poacher

Like something from another world comes this unique egg cooker in contemporary brushed stainless and black. Cuisinart has perfected the art of the egg by designing this unique appliance that cooks up to seven eggs. An indicator light and audible signal indicate when eggs are done according to your setting. Features auto shut-off and comes with a beaker with water-fill lines and a piercing pin to prevent eggshells from cracking as they cook.
