Eggsellent! What a great little gadget. Since buying this iv really come out of my shell. Not even yolking. First time iv ever got dippy eggs spot on. It boiled me over! Eggsactly as I needed them. Omelette my friends have a go later. They might even poach it off me.

I am trying the SALTER Egg Steamer today for the first time and two eggs have been pieces with the pin at the base of the measuring cup. The measuring cup is excellent for measuring out the correct quantity of water and markings are readable. Two eggs have had a hole pierced with the pin at the base of the measuring jug at the full end of the eggs. The eggs sit neatly in the moulded out holes of the egg holder with the egg’s tapered end down. The handle is fixed into position and does not move. I’ve let the eggs come up to room temperature before switching on the egg steamer. I use the time on my phone to remind me when the time is up because there is not alarm or bleeps to notify me when the unit has finished its job, it simply switches off when done. A good amount of steam builds up and the steam is hot when it comes out of the outlet hole in the lid. In one of the images, I have plugged my eggs steamer into my EcoFlow Delta 2 Storage Battery which shows the unit is drawing on average 371 wattage and that means my egg steamer is now portable. I’ve used filtered tap water which will leave limescale deposit as I’m in a hard water area. Distilled white vinegar how removed the limescale from the heat plate but the instructions state it’s best to use distilled water which I’ll try or use with deionised water which I have. Overall, I’m impressed and have enjoyed the boiled eggs too. I find this a great product, it’s a nice small size unit, it comes with an instruction manual, is easy to clean, there’s versatility is with specific timings and water quantity for one egg or several and for soft, medium or hard boiled egg options. I highly recommend, so far. I will post further feedback when I’ve tried this egg steamer out with distilled water and out up an image to compare.

Really great. Purchased as we have eggs daily and this should save £ with no using the kettle and hob. Really simple to use. Great poached and boiled eggs. I just need to get to grips with the water added to get them 100% to my personal liking. Easy to clean, takes up very little space.

This cooks eggs perfectly. Very easy to use, follow the simple instructions supplied and the result is perfect poached or boiled eggs every time. For two eggs it takes about 9 minutes, the timer finshes when all the water has gone. Easy to clean, everything goes in with the washing up except the base, which cleans easily with some white vinegar. It is well made with a sturdy base and a really nice looking clear plastic top. Small enough and good looking enough to be left out on the worktop. I bought mine after two workmates brought them in to work, now my daughter has one as well. Highly recomended, so much easier than using a hob and pan.

This is the 5th Salter egg cooker I have bought, because I have converted so many friends and family after buying one myself. I genuinely thought this was just a useless gadget, until I stayed over at a friend’s house, and they told me to help myself to breakfast and if I wanted to use the egg poacher/boiler. I couldn’t really understand the point of it, because you can just stick eggs in a pan (although I had never been able to get poached eggs right, and they were my absolute favourite). So I decided to do a couple of boiled eggs using their Salter gadget, and I was blown away. I followed the instructions to have soft boiled eggs, so I could have egg and soldiers, and they came out absolutely perfect. I went home and I purchased myself one, and tested out the poached egg function; I ended up doing poached eggs every morning for an entire week. All of the instructions are really easy to follow in the booklet, and once you get the hang of it, you won’t need to keep checking. It comes with a little measurement cup, with a small pin on the bottom to pierce boiled eggs, therefore, you can peel them so much easier. No more shells in your boiled eggs! No more crunching on gross shells, and being put off of your lunch. It’s fabulous. I was very sceptical on how the poached eggs would turn out, because you get two small plastic cups to put the eggs in, and then you cook them on the appliance, with the water poured into the bottom. However, were absolutely perfect. There’s nothing worse than taking out a poached egg from the saucepan, and having a load of water flop onto your toast from the residue. You also don’t have to faff about with vinegar, in a pan, to get the poached egg right, you literally just coat the small pots with a bit of spray oil (or fry light) and crack the eggs into them. Done. The bonus is, no disgusting stringy white bits hanging onto the bottom of the eggs, like when you poach them in a saucepan. They are literally solid delicious egg whites with a lovely, creamy middle. The only time I used to bother with poached eggs, is when I used to go out for breakfast to a restaurant or a café, but now I can enjoy them whenever I want, thanks to this gadget. I love cooking, but I used to hate making boiled eggs in a pan, because I had to sacrifice a pan to be the designated egg pan, as no matter how much I washed the pan - Id put it in the dishwasher and it would always be covered in a white film, like a salt-residue from the egg that I boiled. Those days are over. This gadget eradicates any need for sacrificing pain or worrying about how to do a proper poached egg for yourself or guests. And it’s really easy to clean. I have bought so many as gifts for friends and family. At first, no one is convinced, until they have it themselves for a week. It really does take the fuss out of making breakfast.

++ There are multiple products on the page, this one is for the first product the egg cooker (boiled and poached eggs) ++ This is a simple but effective device that I now use exclusively for my boiled and poached eggs as it is easy to use and gives great results. It is essentially a hot plate that steams the compartment to cook the eggs. The clever bit is the measuring cup that you use to top it up and is marked to show you exactly how much water to use. Be careful with the steam when removing the lid and also the piercing needle on the underside of the measuring cup. (note I use large size eggs) Boiled eggs : Remove everything from the unit and fill up the cup to the appropriate marked level. Pour the water in then put the black tray and then your eggs in. Carefully pierce the top of the eggs once beforehand using the spike on the bottom of the cup. Put on the lid, press the button and wait. After 7 or so minutes when the light goes off your lovely eggs are ready ! There is no beep or timer so keep an eye out, maybe set an alarm if you're absent minded like me. Poached eggs : Very similar but you just crack the eggs into the two trays provided and place onto the black tray (not directly onto the metal base). The poached eggs aren't quite as perfect as "proper" poaching however but give better results than the microwave trays I used to use and are more than adequate for kitchen numpties like me. Several weeks in I'm still happy with device and use it regularly though it does feel a little flimsy and the bottom tray is a bit discoloured also. I do worry about losing the all important measuring cup however all the parts can be stored inside the unit when not is use so hopefully it won't be an issue. Overall though I'm glad I "shelled out" twenty quid on this as it doesn't take up too much cupboard space and encourages me to eat lots more lovely protein filled eggs🥚🥚🥚👍🙂

The egg cooker is OK, but it comes with really poorly written instructions, but don’t lose them, they used to print the amount of water you need for different numbers of eggs on the water cup, now it only shows the amount of water, you need the badly written instructions, find the section that shows how much water is required, fill the cup to the correct level. I cannot recommend this as I believe the instructions will be lost.

This thing is totally useless. All other egg cookers I have used, the measuring cup is marked Soft Medium Hard, and then the number of eggs marked individually under each of those, 1,2,3,4,5,6. The measuring cup on this is marked in ml. That is totally useless. The pathetic printed instructions say Soft, Medium, Hard, and then give the ml amount for "1 egg" and then "up to 6 eggs". That is useless, as the amount of water for e.g. 3 eggs has to be different from the amount for e.g. 6 eggs. The lid does not fit properly, so when cooking the eggs, the steam leaks continuously and randomly around the lid; instead of just exiting in a controlled manner through the steam vent which is supposed to regulate the cooking. Then on top of that, when the water has evaporated, the (dim) power light goes out - but there is no buzzer. So unless you are watching the damn thing like a hawk, the eggs just keep baking in the remaining heat, and continue cooking. If I had not thrown away the packaging I would send this piece of junk back. How it can have been Amazon's choice I have no idea. I throw it in the trash and buy a different brand - not from Amazon. Disgusting.

Very good

The main downside is the silver bottom gets dirty like the electronic kettle and didn’t find the way to get rid of it. I read only bottle water can be used not to damage the silver bottom in the instructions but any type of bottle water damaged it.
