NOSTALGIA EGG COOKER CRACK
While some eggs did inevitably crack while cooking (this is common with egg makers in general), the minor splatters are easy to clean. Just like our best overall pick, the amount of water you add to the maker indicates how long it needs to cook the included measuring cup indicates how much you need to use for each doneness.
The audible indicator is another helpful feature that keeps you from having to constantly check for the indicator light to know when your eggs are ready, and you don't even have to set a timer. While we noticed some slight inconsistencies in texture (but not in taste) when poaching multiple eggs, hard-boiled eggs turned out perfectly and tasted delicious. It’s simple to use, and all the non-electronic parts are okay to toss in the dishwasher.Īpart from the budget price, we liked how intuitive this was to use and clean, and how delicious the eggs turned out. The device comes with a poaching tray, measuring cup, omelet tray, and six-egg holding tray.
NOSTALGIA EGG COOKER PLUS

If you’re looking for an egg cooker that won’t cost a lot but still gives you quality performance, consider this one from Dash. Hovering around $40, this is a pretty low-maintenance option that delivers great results, as long as you're not primarily using it to make omelets. The heating plate can be wiped with a damp cloth. As far as cleaning goes, all removable parts can be washed in hot, soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher. This also comes with a piercing pin to poke a small hole in the eggshell for easier peeling. There’s a simple on/off switch and a blue LED light, audible alert, and standby mode to help keep the eggs from overcooking.
The cooking time is controlled by the amount of water added, using the included measuring cup. It took about 15 minutes to cook this two-egg omelet and 9.5 minutes to poach one egg (this is normal for up to four eggs). However, we felt that any more than two eggs likely would have overflowed the tray when cooking, as the contents of two were cutting it close-and you likely won't be able to add toppings, either, without things spilling over. The Egg Central also includes removable trays so you can poach four eggs at once or make three-egg omelets. Handles on the side make it easier to lift the lid, but oven mitts are a good idea, since it does get hot during cooking.
