Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker Review
Don’t you hate it when you hard boil eggs and they don’t peel? Have you ever wondered if an Egg Cooker would make them peel any better? I have never used an Egg Cooker before and I asked for this one for Christmas. Below I will show the steps to making one dozen hard boiled eggs in this Egg Cooker. Some of my followers have told me that they have an Egg Cooker and they love it. Read on to see what I think of it.
In the directions it says this Egg Cooker also steams food and cooks eggs soft boiled, medium boiled and hard boiled. It also makes an omelet or mini omelets, but for the purpose of this review, I am only going to review the hard boiled eggs. If they just make hard boiled eggs well it will be worth it! I haven’t tried any of the other types of food with it yet.
The first thing you do is measure the water
in the container they give you. They have
a chart for the amount of water needed
for the eggs cooked different ways.
Pour the water into the bottom of the steamer.
Using the pin in the bottom of the
water cup, poke a hole into the eggs.
Place the eggs, hole side up,
into the plastic holder.
Add the second plastic holder
and add the rest of the eggs.
Place the lid on top.
Plug in the cord and
press the button. When the
eggs are done it will beep
and shut off automatically.
Remove immediately & that’s it!
Fill a bowl with ice water.
Use tongs to remove each
egg from the Egg Cooker.
Place the eggs into the ice water.

How it cooked.
This is by far the BEST gadget we have ever purchased. I have never been able to boil or peel an egg this perfect before. Note that there is not a bit of green on that yolk.
CONS:
- I put a hairline crack in 2 of the egg shells when I pushed the pin through the egg, however, I put them in the cooker anyway and they still turned out perfect. It was the first ones I did so it may be I just needed to figure it out.
PRO’s:
- The directions were understandable.
- The cooker is very easy to use.
- The eggs were cooked perfectly with just the push of a switch.
- The eggs peeled easily.
- The eggs tasted great.
- Clean up is a breeze.
- It has other accessories to make omelet’s, however, I have not tried them yet.
I give this Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker a 5 out of 5. I have never cooked a hard boiled egg this perfect ever!!!!
I have NOT received any compensation for my review.

My egg gadget really saves me a lot of time and aggravation peeling hard boiled eggs! Glad your gadget is working out too!
Oh I love it Bernice! If it broke today I would buy another one! Thanks!
This is good to know! They are usually so difficult to peel, and much gets wasted for this reason.
I have made 2 dozen so far and everyone peeled and cooked perfect! Even the taste is better. The yolk is fully cooked but not dry.
Knew you’d love it – have fun! 😊
Oh YES!!!!!
Very cool Diane! We had an egg cooker that was shaped like an egg and you put it in the microwave; in fact, as I am writing this, a blog post is showing below with the same gizmo. It was plastic and there was a metal tray to put the four eggs and water in the bottom, put it in the microwave – maybe 10-12 minutes? It’s been a while and I gave the microwave away. They cooked fine and always yellow yolks too. One time I didn’t have the lid on quite right and the four eggs, already cooked, exploded in the microwave – what a mess! We had a gizmo to pierce the hole in the egg. You sat the wide part of the egg gently right onto the needle that stuck straight up and pushed down on the gizmo and it made the hole – no cracks. I found it on Walmart for you: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fox-Run-Boiled-Egg-Piercer-Prevents-Breaking-During-Cooking-Deviled-Easy-To-Use/107581337?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=16184&adid=22222222227000000000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=42423897272&wl4=pla-51320962143&wl5=9016916&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=120820808&wl11=online&wl12=107581337&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsLbo8bv65gIVj4bACh1xmAxkEAQYAyABEgK69fD_BwE
How cool! I can’t believe they used a metal tray for the microwave!!! My granddaughter went crazy over the taste of the eggs made in this cooker. My husband had to run and get more eggs because we devoured the first dozen! Thank you for the link I can’t believe how cheap the egg puncher is!
Yes, a metal tray and four eggs stood up straight in them, then you put the cover on. We used it for years. You’re welcome Diane – my mom used to use the needle too and sometimes would squeeze the egg the wrong way and it cracked (or broke). It is easy peasy – even I could use it. 🙂
Very interesting. I was always taught the older the eggs are the easier they are to peel. Who knows how old they are when you buy them at the grocery store. They aren’t fertile, so they can keep in cold storage for A VERY LONG TIME. I would say forever, but I think that would be stretching it a bit… I have my own chickens and I always use the oldest eggs for boiling. Since the chickens have been on vacation, the eggs are getting a bit old (and I neglected to refrigerate)… So, I but some in a pan to boil a couple of evenings ago and within a few minutes, I heard a pop. Hmmm… I guess they were a bit too old, huh? Out the door the whole pan went. LOL! Unfortunately, the Febreeze bottle was empty. Getting back to your experiment with the steamer. I have an ordinary steamer and I wonder how it would work? Poke a hole in the egg and put enough in the pan so they all stand up… I do have more eggs. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
OH MY!!!!! So your saying your house didn’t smell eggcellent? Where did the chickens go for vacation? lol Let me know how your steamer works. My steamer made them perfect in about 18 minutes. Have a great week!
Answer to first question: Hmmm… Answer to second question: They didn’t go far. I think they are just on strike. I will let you know how the steamer works when I give it a try. You have a great week as well. 🙂
Wow this looks nice…
It definitely is and I will never boil an egg again. Thank you!
That seems like a very nifty gadget, great review – thanks
Thank you and you’re welcome!!!
I’ve had good results making hard-boiled eggs in my Instant Pot, but I don’t think the Instant Pot will do a dozen eggs at a time. This sounds like an interesting appliance.
I love it Janet! Every egg has turned out perfect and I have never peeled eggs so easily….ever!
Thank you! I’ve been contemplating buying one of these!
Oh do!!!! I am so serious when I say it cooks them perfect and they peel so easily!!!!!
Wow! A gift in my “chef”/husband’s future. Thanks for the review!
Awesome I think this was $20. You’re welcome!
Looks like a handy device! You’ll have to let us know how well it makes other kinds of eggs.
I made soft boiled eggs today….perfect again!
I might need to try this!
I can’t say a bad thing about it!
What is the purpose of the hole in the top of the egg? (My best success with hard boiled eggs has been in a steamer basket in my InstantPot but I didn’t poke a hole in the top of the eggs, that’s why I’m asking. Thanks!)
It is to equalize the pressure inside the egg so they don’t crack and not one did. Glad you asked!
Ah, I see! There sure is a lot of science in cooking! Science is delicious!
It sure is!
What an awesome gadget! I’ve always let my hubby be in charge of boiling the eggs because he’s the expert at it. But I have to wonder if he’d enjoy one of these? I must say, that egg looks perfectly delicious! Thanks for sharing this one Diane. We just might have to consider giving it a try. Every now and then there really is a gadget to save time, aggravation and everything else worth every penny! Looks like you’ve found yours! 😀
You’re welcome Holly! If you have an instant pot, I have been told they do a great job with eggs too. My egg cooker was $20 and worth it!
You did a fine job with your review and glad it worked out so well – my hubs uses the instapot for his eggs and it is Similar to your smooth success here 😉
That is nice then you don’t have another gadget sitting around! Thank you for your nice comment!
🙂
Now you’ll be looking for excuses to boil eggs 🙂 Can you make 1 or 2 at a time, or does the cooker need to be full?
Yes I can…woo hoo!!! I made 2 soft boiled eggs and they were so good. They only had the directions for 6 soft boiled eggs but how in the world would I eat that many? So I added water and timed it for 6 minutes and they came out perfect.
Whenever boyfriend hard boils eggs, they are perfectly cooked & easy to peel. I have no idea what his trick is though!
You don’t need an egg cooker, you have a built in one! 🤣😂🤣
Lol exactly!! <3
I don’t know whether to be happy about this or not… It WOULD make huge batches of devilled eggs SO.MUCH.EASIER!!! But — where do I put ANOTHER kitchen gadget LOOOOL??!
This isn’t very big. If you have an instant pot I am told they also make great hard boiled eggs. I have never tried it.
Great review!
Thanks Jess!
You’re welcome!
