The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker Changes the Way You Eat Breakfast

It's often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But let's be honest: In this busy world, it's really hard to give it the time and care it deserves. You can preplan and make overnight oats or a breakfast casserole, but on any given day, it's hard to give that first meal a lot of thought.

Luckily, we live in a world where technology can step in and make life easier. Think about how much the best air fryers have done in the last few years to make meals quick and easy with just the touch of a button. Well, we're here to tell you that the breakfast code has officially been cracked thanks to a new kitchen gadget in much the same way. And this egg-cellent idea costs less than $20. Meet the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker!

You may be wondering, is it that hard to cook eggs? Honestly, not really. But, cooking eggs of any sort does take time and effort, two things that most of us sorely lack during that weekday morning rush. With a flip of a switch, this gadget can make up to six hard, medium, and soft boiled eggs at one time without a separate pot or timer. It also has inserts to make omelettes and poached eggs, which we all know can be challenging even when we have all the time in the world. Imagine that luxury on a Tuesday?

This bestseller is consistently rated as one of the best egg gadgets and has over 100,000 thousand reviews on Amazon, so it's worth having a look. Let's see what one of the five-star raters has to say, shall we? "One of the best purchases I've ever made," they explain. "I use it constantly!" Not only does it "take away all the guesswork for eggs cooked however you like them," they continue, but "it cooks eggs in half the time compared to the traditional method."

It's also worth noting that because it's made by Dash, it's quite compact, so it won't take up a lot of counter space. Seriously, it's under eight inches and all of the components included tuck neatly inside. It also comes in several pretty colors if you do keep it on your counter all the time. And you'll probably want to, because once you realize just how many egg dishes you can make, you'll want to use it all the time. Think: deviled eggs, eggs Benedict, and all the egg recipes you could dream up.

So to recap, this cute, compact, affordable gadget takes the extra time and guesswork out of making at least six types of eggs with the touch of a button. It even has an automatic shutoff for every function! So really, the only question you should be asking yourself (besides "Why didn't I buy this sooner?") will be which color to get.
