Boiling eggs sounds like it shouldn’t need a gadget: water, pot, timer, done. Except the timing window between a good jammy yolk and a grey-ringed hard-boiled egg is about ninety seconds, egg size and fridge temperature both throw the maths off, and you’re tied to the hob the whole time. The Salter Electric Multi Egg Cooker exists to get you through that window without standing over the pan.
Here’s what’s actually worth knowing about it:
- Holds up to 6 eggs at once, and does soft, hard and poached
- Two poaching trays come with it, along with a removable egg rack
- You measure the water with the included cup, switch it on, and an indicator light tells you when the eggs are ready
- It’s a 430W unit with a small footprint, so it can live on the side or go back in a cupboard
One thing worth knowing before you buy: the listing talks about an indicator light rather than a beep, so keep half an eye on it rather than wandering off to another room. That aside, it’s a well-reviewed little appliance for exactly the problem it’s solving, rated 4.3 stars from over 4,000 reviews on Amazon UK.
