I never knew I needed an egg cooker until this little yellow gadget became my breakfast MVP. The compact size is a game-changer for my cramped apartment kitchen—it tucks away neatly but handles 7 eggs at once like a champ.

What surprised me most was how it transformed my camping trips. That 360-watt power draw means I can run it off my portable battery while pretending to be a gourmet chef in the middle of nowhere. Picture this: perfect poached eggs at sunrise with nothing but desert around me, all thanks to this unassuming plastic dome.

The learning curve exists—like realizing too late that printed water measurements wash off (pro tip: mark them with permanent marker). And yes, that switch doesn't flip itself off, which led to some unintentionally hard-boiled eggs before I got the hang of it. But when you nail the timing? Flawless soft-boiled eggs with yolks like liquid gold every single time.

It's not just for eggs either. My weirdest success? Steaming dumplings while simultaneously hard-boiling eggs below them. The clear lid lets me play mad scientist watching the magic happen without lifting the cover.

For anyone who thinks 'it's just an egg cooker,' trust me—this little workhorse will make you question why you ever bothered with pots of boiling water. Just don't forget the butter when poaching unless you enjoy egg sculptures stuck to plastic.
