Does anyone have one of those egg cookers that makes boiled eggs with steam and poaches eggs with steam, make omelets, steam vegies?

How do you like it, does it really do eggs well., or is it hype?  HSN has the Dash brand.

Yes, they are great, never want to be without mine. One of the best thinks I ever purchased. And use it alot.Eggs come out perfect.I use a spaghetti spoon to remove the eggs from the egg cooker and put them in a collander to cool.

@BeccaLou  Thanks for your input. I was on the fence about getting one, thinking may be another fail. I think I will give it a whirl and see. I am glad you like yours.

I have the Krupps model and it's one of my most used kitchen appliances. Am very careful with it.....needs 20 minutes to cool down between uses. The eggs have to be pierced prior to cooking - it comes with a measurer/piercer. And I always wipe it out after it cools down as I use tap water in it.

We bought the MarkCharles Misilli version years ago when he offered it.

Love it and while we don't use it very often it's still going strong!

Effortlessly makes the best hard cooked eggs I've ever eaten.  Very creamy and tender.  I don't know what I've been doing wrong for years but these are so much better.

I bought one when my kids were toddlers - used it for many years, when it finally died I made hard boiled eggs in a pan on the stove - very hard to peel. Went out and bought a new egg cooker right away. Won't make hard boiled eggs without one! Highly recommended.

Many years ago I purchased Henrietta Hen from the Q.  I use her daily and she makes fantastic eggs...soft boiled, hard boiled, poached.  She's adorable and chirps when the eggs are done.  A great product.  docsgirl

That's what I have, and I attest to everything you've said!

The egg cookers work great.  We had one for more than 25 years--may still have it but dont use it.

You can steam eggs in a pan of water about an inch high and it works exactly like the egg cookers.  Eggs are perfectly done, shells come off great. America's test kitchen has a method online that is basically fool proof for cooking hardboiled eggs.  So we were doing that a lot.

We also use our Instant Pot when we are making several at a time.  It works great as well.

We had the short squaty egg cookers with the plastic clear dome as well as the  Cuisinart egg shaped one and all have worked fine
