The egg cooker also comes with removable trays that can be used to poach eggs and make omelets. Cooking time is controlled precisely by the amount of water added. Fill included measuring beaker to the appropriate range and pour water into the cooking plate. The built-in LED light, audible alert, and standby mode help guard against overcooking. All egg favorites can be made in one compact unit.
