![]() Traditional hard-boiling methods can take up to 20 minutes from start to finish by the time you boil water and actually cook your eggs. Where the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker really shines is in its efficiency. The eggs come out wonderfully, taste just like regular hard-boiled eggs, and are reasonably easy to peel - though I've always been notoriously bad at peeling eggs, so I still had some trouble. ![]() It might take a couple tries to get your eggs cooked the way you want them, but once you've nailed the perfect water levels, just take a marker to your measuring cup and draw yourself some new lines. I've found that the suggested water levels leave my eggs a little underdone for my taste, so I've taken to adding a smidge more water than suggested. After that, I tend to plunge them into ice water to prevent them from overcooking, but that's not a necessary step. Once all the water is gone, a cute jingle will play to alert you that your eggs are done. Once you puncture your eggs and add water, you press the only button on the machine - it really is foolproof - and your eggs will steam until the cooker senses there's no more water left in the tray. You'll want to puncture the shell of each egg once to let steam escape during the cooking process. On the bottom of the measuring cup is a small pin. On one side are lines for soft-boiled, medium-boiled, and hard-boiled eggs, and on the other side is a line for poached eggs and omelets - more on that later. The egg cooker comes with a small measuring cup with fill lines on it. You determine your doneness by the amount of water you add to the tray. As the water heats and turns to steam, your eggs cook to your desired doneness. The cooker fits up to six eggs that sit suspended above the water in a plastic tray. ![]() The base of the egg cooker contains a heating element that you add water to. But don't worry, the result is indistinguishable from actual boiled eggs. The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker doesn't actually boil your eggs it steams them. What I discovered after using it was that I finally had a truly foolproof method for cooking hard-boiled eggs that required no googling, no multi-step techniques that I had to remember, and took less time than traditional methods by more than half.ĭash Rapid Egg Cooker uses steam to cook the eggs, producing a quicker result than traditional boiling. When I discovered the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker, I was ready to write it off as what celebrity chef Alton Brown would call a unitasker - a kitchen tool that serves a single purpose, takes up too much space, and solves a non-problem. But at the end of the day, all you need is a pot and some hot water, so for those with a tried-and-true method that they can actually remember, it's not that hard of a kitchen task. I always found it more trouble than it was worth. The problem with all of these "recipes" is that they're all so different that I can never remember them off the top of my head, and I have to google how long to cook hard-boiled eggs every time. I've even read one that wants you to bring your eggs to a boil and then put the whole pot into a preheated oven to bake. ![]() Some will have you start in a cold pan, some want you to drop your eggs into already boiling water, some have you take them off the heat to cook. Every food blogger, recipe developer, and pro chef seems to have a different method, they're all deemed foolproof, and they're all, for some reason, oddly complicated. Hard-boiled eggs are one of the greatest mysteries of the kitchen for me.
