For the uninitiated, the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker is a small kitchen appliance that is dedicated to one thing and one thing only: making eggs. The unit can make all types of eggs *read in my best Bubba from Forrest Gump voice*: hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, omelets, soft-boiled eggs, and more.

If you most identify with the frustrated characters from the black-and-white portions of infomercials, the Rapid Egg Cooker is the better way to make eggs. It's also useful if you like to cook eggs but don't have a range. For example, it's ideal for campers and RVs, small apartments with tiny kitchens, and as a gift for students heading off to live in the dorms.

The Rapid Egg Cooker fits up to six eggs at a time, and it only weighs one pound. The cooker comes with a measuring cup, poaching tray, boiling tray, and omelet bowl. Dash also includes a recipe book so you can make a variety of egg-centric meals, such as deviled eggs, eggs Benedict, and egg salad. Dash backs the cooker with a one-year warranty.

Amazon buyers are obsessed with this little gadget. There are currently more than 8,600 5-star Amazon customer reviews of the Rapid Egg Cooker. The word "perfect" is thrown around quite a bit by commenters describing their egg creations. The biggest complaint appears to be the blood-curdling sound that alerts you that your eggs are ready. Other than that, it appears to be "egg-ceptional."
