Since we live in a small household, this little egg cooker is the ideal size for us.

The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker has an MSRP of $30 but you can often find it for $20. If you don’t have a dishwasher or prefer to hand wash them, a swipe of a soapy sponge is all it takes to get the gadget cleaned up. All of the parts-except the electric heating plate-are dishwasher safe. This is an aesthetic choice, of course, but we thought it was worth mentioning.ĭespite the mess some of our eggs made, cleaning the Dash proved simple.

We would have appreciated a stainless steel lid to conceal the mess.

The egg boiling process isn’t a pretty sight as our eggs steamed, a few of them cracked and some of the egg whites oozed onto the lid. While we were impressed with the Dash’s step-by-step instructions and the straightforward measuring cup (it has clear markings for each type of egg), we didn’t love the see-through plastic lid. Thankfully, the little gadget is very easy to clean.ĭespite the mess some of our eggs made, cleaning the Dash proved simple. While this was a bit annoying, the cracking seems to be inevitable, as it’s happened with other egg cookers we’ve tested and when we’ve boiled eggs in a pot on the stovetop. Some of the whites ran over onto the boiling tray or got stuck to the lid.

While the shells peeled easily and cleanly, a few of our eggs did crack while steaming, so they made a bit of a mess. This prevents them from cooking further and it makes the shells easier to remove. We followed Dash’s recommendation to run them under cold water when the cooking cycle stopped. Our first batch of hard-boiled eggs cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. We really liked the audible alert feature it saved us the trouble of having to constantly check the indicator light to see if our eggs were ready. A pleasant jingle will sound once your eggs are done cooking. The Dash will calculate how long it needs to cook based on the amount of water you add, so you don’t have to set a timer. Following the instructions in the user manual, we pierced the top of each egg with the pin on the bottom of the measuring cup (this is intended to prevent the eggs from cracking as they’re cooking), and then filled the measuring cup to the top line marked ‘Hard.’ We then poured the cold water onto the heating plate, placed the boiling tray with our eggs (pierced sides up), covered them with the lid, and then hit the power button to start cooking. Our first test for the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker was preparing a few hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. The Spruce Eats / Sage McHugh Performance: Automatically cooks eggs perfectly
