You know those objects that are totally unnecessary, but you see Dash Rapid Egg Cooker and fall in love and live forever in happiness with your random kitschy thing? This is that thing. I saw this egg cooker on a Buzzfeed list and, even though I am a fully functioning adult who has never had trouble cooking eggs before in my life, I knew I had to have it. I have not been disappointed. It makes especially lovely, perfectly round omelets with minimal cleanup required. Hard and soft boiled eggs cook evenly and taste great. The poached eggs are tender and melt in your mouth over toast. I do believe that the water (thus, time) required to cook eggs is based on room-temperature eggs, the way they’re kept in countries outside of the USA. If you keep your eggs in the fridge, add an extra third or so of water to the cooking time. As other reviews have mentioned, the timer alarm is LOUD. Like, picture a fire alarm mixed with an incoming nuclear missile alarm, but make it about 12 times louder. There’s no way to turn it off, so prepare to muffle it up with some cotton and tape if you want to keep your ears. It’s the perfect kitchen appliance. I grin from ear to ear every time I use it.
