Not a kitchen essential. But good if you have a little squeeze in space. Quite easy and clean to operate. No need to be keeping track of the egg being boiled. The options really work the poached eggs come out really cute.

If you are familiar with the Breville smart range of appliances as I am you will know why I purchased this egg cooker. It is fool proof. Just fill with water to the internal line ( low for poached and high for boiled), press the select button on the front until your desired level of cooked egg is lit. Press start and wait for it to cook. It automatically turns off when cooked and alerts you with an alarm buzzer. Perfectly cooked eggs every time. Poached, soft, medium and hard boiled. Get one. You will not regret it.

We bought this egg cooker after some research and we don’t regret our decision. It is easy to use and makes perfect soft boiled eggs. The only thing I would mention is that there could be some sort of little handle on the lid. When you try and pick up the lid you have to be very careful not to get the hot water from the steam on your hands.
