I don’t know if there’s anyone on earth who doesn’t know how to boil eggs or hasn’t learned how to. Even for a non-cook like me, boiling eggs is piece of cake. I don’t recall learning about it from school but I owe this simple knowledge from my mother who would either boil or fry eggs in the morning when I was living with her. Little did I know that setting a timer in boiling eggs was important since my mother didn’t do it as far as I can remember. The first person I knew who set the timer in egg-boiling is hubby. I don’t remember the last time I boil an egg since hubby always does this whenever we like eggs for breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, eggs are always present on the table even in a hotel breakfast treat. The pick-what-you-like-breakfast buffét is what we like the most and everything on the table is just there waiting and begging to be chewed up. In our previous travel at the hotel we stayed, I was surprised to see an egg cooker or egg boiler, as it’s called. Hah! I had no idea how this thing would work for my egg. Should I boil my own egg in this? How? I have seen many of these in the stores but I haven’t considered buying one. Though I bought one for my mother a long time ago but I haven’t even asked her about it. A man who would also want to boil his egg asked me how many minutes. I didn’t see a timer so I thought, should I count the minutes myself, too? Considering my lack of know-how on this boiler, I believe I can still live without it. I have hubby who could boil my eggs for me.

Yay, I can’t even imagine that someone really invented an egg boiler because this is the easiest thing to do in the kitchen right?
Marlene says
Korek! Anyone can boil eggs without even thinking about the minutes it takes.

Marlene says
And those who gets lazy to boil eggs when they get married, hehee!
Vanessa says
it’s an interesting device, but how much it costs? i assume it does other things than just boiling eggs because it’s seems to dull just to invent a device that does just that
Marlene says
I’m afraid it just boils eggs, I haven’t known any other use of this. 🙂

Hello, It’s been a while. I personally use my rice cooker to make eggs while cooking rice. It works like a charm and makes perfect eggs!
Marlene says
Sure, the rice cooker is useful for egg-boiling, too. I haven’t thought of this, though my rice cooker shows an egg in its illustration.

Cool kitchen equipment. But I wonder why a person would consider buying an egg boiler, boiling eggs is a piece of cake. Well, it’s still a good equipment for those who wanted to save little time –anyway, a minute would make a difference. Nice post! It’s very interesting! Thank you for sharing this new equipment.

Huh? May ganyan pala. Hopefully hindi lang sya egg boiler, sana pwede ring steamer or may iba pa syang gamit, kasi kung yun lang parang waste of money, or maybe it’s just me.
We boil eggs in a soup pan lang, give it a little time ayos na. Minsan pwedeng isabay sa sinaing. 😛
