Hobby Lobby is Selling an Egg Cooker For Only $14
The egg bowl is for cooking eggs omelet-style, the poached egg bowl has two separated compartments for making 2 poached eggs at a time and an egg tray for soft or hard boiling 7 eggs at a time. The measuring cups displays how much water to add to depending on how you want your eggs prepared. The clear dome on top allows you to watch your eggs as they cook.
The 360-watt electric machine measures 6.5 x 6.75 x 5.25-inches in a green, silver and clear color. It’s small enough to easily tuck into a cupboard, cabinet or pantry while you’re not using it, but it’s convenient enough to be worth the extra appliance if you cook eggs frequently. And for just $13.99, you can grab one in store or online.

While the reviews are overall quite positive, some individuals report not having instructions for poaching eggs, just boiling them. “Bought this for work and it works so well. Eggs cooked perfectly every time!” said one fan. “This little machine cooks hard boiled eggs really great! I would like some instructions on cooking poached eggs”, said another person.
