Buying egg cookers? These are the 10 best of 2023

Number 1 in our test is the Emerio EB-115560 egg cooker. You cook six eggs with it, hard or soft. With most egg boilers, it’s very important how much water you fill them with. Not so with the Emerio EB-115560. You fill it with two measuring cups and turn the appliance on. And then it comes: the Emerio EB-115560 tells you in Dutch how hard your eggs are.

Say you want 3 soft-boiled and 3 hard-boiled eggs. Then you wait until the device says the eggs are soft-boiled and you take out 3. You leave the other 3 until it says the eggs are hard-boiled. Check lights also indicate the hardness of the eggs. So you make a perfectly cooked egg for everyone.

The best value for money, in our opinion, is the Severin EK3051 egg cooker You can use it to make six boiled eggs at once. You add the right amount of water depending on how many eggs you are cooking and whether you want them hard- or soft-boiled.

When the eggs are ready, a signal sounds. Thanks to the non-stick coating on the heating plate under the egg rack, the Severin EK3051 is easy to clean after use. The included measuring cup has an integrated egg piercer.

The Tristar EK 3076 egg cooker is highly recommended for those on a tight budget. Depending on the amount of water you add, the eggs will be hard, semi-hard or soft boiled. With the included measuring cup, you can see exactly how much water you need to add for which quantity of eggs.

When the eggs are ready, a signal sounds. A handy egg piercer is built into the measuring cup. This electric egg cooker for 7 eggs has a steam outlet in the transparent lid. Therefore, be careful not to put the egg boiler under a kitchen cabinet. The steam could deform the laminate of the cupboard.

The Adler AD 4486 egg cooker lets you cook up to eight eggs at once. You decide whether they are hard, medium or soft-boiled. All you need to do is add water and turn the dial to the desired setting.

When the eggs are cooked, an automatic signal sounds and the appliance switches off automatically. Apart from boiling eggs, this egg cooker also lets you prepare poached eggs. A special mould is included for this purpose. So however you like your egg, you can prepare it with the Adler AD 4486.

If you don’t want to cook more than three eggs at once, then the Severin EK3161 is the best egg cooker you can choose. This small egg cooker provides the perfect egg for breakfast in no time. You pour the right amount of water into the appliance, wait for it to heat up and place the eggs inside.

With a selector switch, you decide whether the eggs should be cooked soft, medium or hard. It’s as simple as that. Just be careful: there is a valve in the lid from which steam can escape.

With the WMF Stelio egg cooker, you can cook up to seven eggs at the same time with the desired hardness. In doing so, it doesn’t matter how you want eggs. If you want three eggs soft-boiled and four hard, the WMF Stelio can make them at the same time.

You can hear a buzzing sound when the soft eggs are ready and take them out of the egg cooker, then the remaining eggs continue cooking until they are the perfect hardness. When the cooking time is over, a signal sounds again. The cover of this handsome egg cooker for 7 eggs is made of WMF’s in-house developed Cromargan stainless steel.

Are you looking for the cream of the crop when it comes to egg boilers? And do you also have quite a bit of money to spare? Then the Cuisinart CEC10E is for you. With this electric egg cooker, you can cook as many as 10 eggs at a time, much more than with an average egg cooker.

Depending on the particular hardness and number of eggs, you can measure out water. The Cuisinart does the rest for you. Not exceptional, but with most egg boilers it stops there. With the Cuisinart CEC10E, however, you can also cook 4 poached eggs and even make an omelette from 3 eggs. It is easily the best egg cooker in our test, capable of much more than just boiling an egg. Only the purchase price keeps it from first place.

Some egg boilers immediately catch the eye. The Krups F234-70 is one of those. Not because of the number of eggs you can cook with this egg cooker. Nor because it is the only egg cooker that lets you cook the perfect egg.

For all its simplicity, it is the best egg cooker in terms of design. Perhaps because of the removable water tank with built-in egg piercer, or because of the cord storage space. Design is sometimes something elusive, but we love this egg cooker. Apart from that, of course, it is also just a good egg cooker, with which you cook the perfect egg.

If you usually only need to boil an egg for yourself, then the egg cooker from WMF KITCHENminis comes highly recommended. You can boil 1 or 2 perfect eggs in a short time with this appliance. Depending on the size of the egg and the desired hardness, you fill the egg boiler with water.

When your egg is ready, you will hear a signal. There are also egg cookers for exactly 1 egg, but we chose this egg cooker for 2 eggs as the best. After all, you never know if someone unexpectedly stays over at your place, right?

Mika Max is an egg boiler that is not actually an egg boiler. In fact, you place an egg in it and then heat it in the microwave. If you have it on hand anyway, why not use it to boil an egg? With the MIka Max you can. Especially for one-person households, this is an attractive solution.

You don’t need to bring out your egg boiler for that one egg. For a hard-boiled egg, count 5 minutes in a 1,000-watt microwave and 5.5 minutes in an 800-watt one. For a soft-boiled egg, the times are 3 and 3.5 minutes respectively. Be careful though, because the Mika Max gets very hot in the microwave, even on the outside.
