A foolproof way to cook eggs, this 400-watt appliance comes with two trays--an inner tray that will hard- or soft-boil up to seven eggs and a second tray for poaching up to four eggs at a time. Use the included measuring cup to add a precise amount of water to the stainless-steel and plastic base--all the needed measurement markings are provided on the side of the see-through cup. Turn the lighted on/off button to the "on" position, and the unit will steam away all the water. When finished cooking, it automatically shuts-off and buzzes an alarm to indicate the eggs are ready. The concept's quite simple--more water means more cooking time; less water means less cooking time. Use the portable appliance for quick, healthy breakfasts before work in the morning, or take it with when on the road for breakfasts that consist of something more substantial than hotel doughnuts. Made in China and UL-listed, the compact egg cooker/poacher measures approximately 6 by 6 by 6-1/2 inches.
