Gosh, I love these things! I own one and I’ve given several as gifts. Perfect hardboiled–but not too hardboiled!–eggs every time. With a LOUD automatic timer alarm to let you know when they’re done. It comes with a second tier cooker for when you’re making deviled eggs for the pot luck. Honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever owned. About $20 and you can find them almost everywhere.

I’ve had one of these babies for seven years, and it’s still going strong. I give these as gifts, also. Because there are those days you don’t want to fire up the stove. This is really convenient: Plug it in, select your temperature, add oil or Pam or whatever, then fry. Large capacity! Don’t have room for this and an electric griddle? Get this! You can make four four-inch pancakes with room to spare. And when you’re making a feast, there’s no doubt about where to make the gravy or that fifth side.
