Gadget Addition – Week 1: DASH Rapid Egg Cooker

Welcome to Do I Need This?

Each week, we’re diving into gadgets you’ve probably seen online, on social media, or in your favorite store—those tempting little devices that make you stop and ask:
Do I actually need this?

To help us decide, we’ll judge each gadget using three simple criteria:

1. Is it easy to use?

2. Is it easy to clean?

3. Does it do the job?

Let’s get cracking (pun intended) with today’s pick: the DASH Rapid Egg Cooker.

What Is It?

DASH Rapid Egg Cooker is a compact, egg-shaped countertop device that promises to make perfect hard-boiled eggs—without the boiling water, timers, or babysitting. You’ve probably seen it and thought, “How can that possibly work?”

Well, surprise: it works.

What Does It Do?

This gadget can make up to six eggs at once, and all you do is add water, pop the eggs in, and press a button. That’s it. No pot, no stove, no peeling eggs that cracked while boiling.

Whether you're making eggs for a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or your favorite salad, the results are consistent and reliable. And yes, I tried it for deviled eggs—they came out perfect. No grey yolks. No fuss.

Easy to Clean? Yep.

The DASH Rapid Egg Cooker is refreshingly simple to clean. After cooking, you’re left with just a few small pieces—the tray and the lid. That’s it. And even better? They’re dishwasher-safe.

Compare that to scrubbing out a big stovetop pot and wiping eggy water off the burners. No thanks. The DASH makes cleanup almost as effortless as cooking.

But Wait… There's More

What really surprised me? It’s not just for hard-boiled eggs.

My mom uses the included tray to make my dad an omelet almost every morning. And yes, it can also do poached eggs—in just minutes. So for a tiny gadget, it’s surprisingly versatile.

Bonus Points for Style

You know I can’t resist a good color option. This egg boiler comes in nine different colors, so no matter your kitchen decor, there’s one that will fit right in.

Final Verdict

Let’s break it down:

✅ Easy to use – Absolutely. Just add water and go.
✅ Easy to clean – A quick rinse and you’re done.
✅ Does the job – Better than I expected, with extras like omelets and poached eggs.

So… do I need this?
If you’re an egg-lover or someone who likes convenience in the kitchen, this little gadget is a solid yes.
