Egg is suitable for preparing eggs in any way: hard-boiled, soft-boiled, in a bag, etc.

The choice of the egg-cooker: the important points
Despite the simplicity of this device, different models of eggs have different technical characteristics. Therefore, thinking about how to choose an egg cooker, the first thing to do is to study its parameters.
As with any other electronic device, when buying an egg cooker, first of all, it is worth paying attention to its power. The power of the standard egg cooker is from 280 to 400 volts. And this indicator depends on the number of cells for cooking eggs - the more eggs can be cooked at the same time in the egg, the higher its power.
The next parameter that buyers are interested in is the number of holders for eggs. In a standard egg cooker, you can cook three to eight eggs at the same time. In this case, if you chose an egg cook, for example, with four cells, it is not necessary to fill them completely during use. In the egg cooker, you can cook even one egg, leaving the remaining cells empty.
In the configuration of some eggs, there is also a special tray for cooking poached eggs. To cook eggs in this way, you need to pour a little water into the container, install a special tray in the device, grease his cells with butter and pour eggs into them. In addition, in some, especially equipped models of eggs, it is also possible to cook scrambled eggs for a couple. This supplement is very useful for those who prefer a diet and healthy diet.
