Boiled eggs are guesswork on a hob and exact in a steamer. This 2-layer electric steamer has soft, medium and hard cooking modes for up to 8 eggs on the top layer, so the result is the same every morning rather than a matter of timing and luck. Underneath, a 2.5L layer steams vegetables, potatoes, dumplings and fish at the same time — one appliance, two dishes, no pans to watch. Water goes in via a 110ml tank with an included measuring cup, the PTC heating plate brings it up fast, and the LED touch display with automatic shut-off means it turns itself off when the water runs out.

Buying guide
The measuring cup is the control, not a convenience: the amount of water you add sets the cooking time, since the steamer runs until the water is gone. Follow the markings for soft, medium or hard rather than guessing. Pierce the wide end of each egg to reduce cracking. Steaming keeps far more nutrients in vegetables than boiling, because nothing leaches into water you pour away — which is a genuine reason to use it beyond eggs. Descale the plate periodically with a vinegar solution, especially with hard water, since scale is what slows heating and eventually kills these units.
How it compares
Against boiling eggs in a pan, you get consistent results and no watching. Against a full steamer basket on the hob, this frees a burner and shuts itself off. Against a microwave, steaming gives better texture for vegetables and fish. It is not a pressure cooker — long-cooking foods still need a pot.
Frequently asked questions
How does it know when eggs are done?
The amount of water you add sets the cooking time - it runs until the water is gone. Use the measuring cup markings for soft, medium or hard.
Can I cook eggs and vegetables at the same time?
Yes. Eggs go on the top layer and vegetables, potatoes, dumplings or fish in the 2.5L layer below.
Does it need descaling?
Yes, periodically with a vinegar solution, especially in hard water areas. Scale slows the heating plate and shortens the unit's life.
