Even if you are able to squeeze in a quick breakfast, coming home to a messy kitchen and dirty dishes isn’t ideal either.
You could grab a bagel from your local coffee shop, but if you’re looking to save time and money during your morning routine, Dash’s Go Rapid Egg Cooker might be a smart investment.
Whether you prefer your eggs hard or soft boiled, this gadget makes the process of cooking them quick and easy. Once you’ve filled the base of the cooker with water — it comes with a measuring cup that tells you how much water you’ll need for every type of egg — you can place up to six eggs on the top tray. Dash also includes two additional trays: one for poached eggs, and another for making omelettes.
If you regularly hit the snooze button in the morning, multitasking during your pre-work routine is key. Luckily, Dash’s egg cooker automatically shuts off once your eggs are done, so you can take a shower or shave while your breakfast is being made.
Best of all, this machine requires very little cleaning — even if you’re making a decadent omelette on weekends.
With nearly 2,200 five-star reviews on Amazon, Dash’s egg cooker lives up to the hype:
“I’m not generally a big fan of kitchen gadgets, because they are frequently not worth the space they take up and time they take to set up, use, and clean — this is one of the exceptions,” one commenter said.
“For as long as I can remember, I have been hard boiling my eggs the old-fashioned way, on the stovetop,” another said. “Hard boiling eggs the old-fashioned way is not difficult; however, this device does it better in a quarter of time.”
One more commenter summed it up by simply saying, “This is quite possibly the greatest invention of all time.”
For under $ 25, the Dash Go Rapid Egg Cooker is one of the most affordable additions you can make to your kitchen. And if you use it every day, it’ll quickly become of the most useful items, too.
