10 Best Egg Cookers UK 2024 | Salter, Lakeland and More

It seemed fitting that our No 1 pick is this truly eggcellent offering from VonShef! It isn't just a great budget option, but a great egg cooker full stop. Able to soft or hard boil 7 eggs at a time, and coming with an omelette tray, measuring cup and piercer included, all your bases will be covered.

This egg cooker is extremely compact, so whether you're planning on leaving it on a kitchen surface, or would rather hide it away in a cupboard or drawer when not in use, you won't have any trouble finding it a home. It even comes with a two-year warranty!

You may not be able to tell from the pictures, but the SimpleTaste Rapid Egg Cooker is an incredibly compact piece of kit. Thanks to its two-tiered design, it can boil up to 10 eggs at a time, whilst remaining smaller than those that can only cook 6.

Thanks to the included tray, you'll have no problem poaching eggs or cooking omelettes. It also makes for a very good vegetable steamer, thanks to the tall, see-through lid. If you're looking for versatility, this option can't be beaten!

The Andrew James Egg Boiler won't just boil eggs. It's a fantastic egg poacher and vegetable steamer too. Many of the options on our list will only allow you to poach a couple of eggs at a time, with vegetable steaming as an afterthought, but not the Andrew James!

With a 4 egg poaching tray and vegetable steaming attachment, this egg cooker maximises functions while retaining a neat and tidy design. A simple buzzer will sound when your food is ready, and everything is easy to wipe clean, or throw in the dishwasher once you're done. 

The Neo 3-in-1 Egg Boiler is Amazon's No.1 best-seller, and it deserves its high ranking. It's available in five different colours to match any kitchen aesthetic and features boil-dry protection to ensure that the lid doesn't get too hot to the touch.

With a seven egg capacity and poaching tray included, if you're looking to enjoy different styles of eggs on a budget you can't go wrong with this stylish choice. The stainless steel heating plate is also extremely easy to clean.

If you're looking for a simple egg cooker to boil and poach eggs to perfection, then this offering from Swan will be right up your street. This is another solid and reliable choice, with an extremely stylish and surprisingly compact design.

It comes with an egg poaching tray, for up to three eggs, and a measuring cup that has the ideal volumes of water needed to cook eggs down to a tee. Better yet, all the accessories are completely dishwasher safe, and the appliance can be easily wiped clean!

Salter's is something of a litmus test for egg cookers, reliably and effectively doing everything you would expect. You also get a measuring cup included, so you'll know exactly how much water to add to get the perfect boiled or poached eggs.

Like the Lakeland, it doesn't feature an audible buzzer, but will shut off automatically once the eggs are ready. If you're looking for a safe bet, you won't be disappointed, but you may find more value for your money below.

Capable of cooking up to 14 eggs at a time, the Netta Egg Boiler is a fantastic choice if you're looking to batch cook salads and other dishes for a party or gathering. It also features a handy tray, allowing you to poach an egg or make a small omelette.

There is no automatic shut off, however, meaning you won't be able to leave the cooker to do its own thing. Luckily, the buzzer will alert you when your eggs are ready.

If you find yourself with little time to prepare healthy and nutritious meals, then this egg cooker from Lakeland will be a valuable addition to your kitchen. It can hard boil multiple eggs in 5 minutes, which is considerably faster than average.

The biggest drawback is that you'll have to pay attention to the cooker as it doesn't feature an automatic shut-off or an audible buzzer. A light switches on and off to let you know when the cooker is working, but you'll have to time it yourself.

This offering from Duronic is all about soft and hard boiling eggs, with different cooking settings to re-heat both eggs and vegetables. It also includes a handy measuring cup, with a built-in egg piercer, meaning you won't have to worry about breaking your eggs.

While not as versatile as some other egg cookers on our list, it does double up as an extremely good vegetable steamer thanks to its variety of cooking options and times. If you're just looking to boil eggs, this is a great option, but the lack of a poaching tray or omelette drawer may be a deal-breaker for some.

The Daewoo Egg Cooker has been made with safety in mind, featuring a boil-dry protection system that ensures the unit doesn’t overheat when the water level drops too low. The cover is also designed to avoid scalds, with heat resistant handles.

While you won't have to worry about any heat-related hazards, the lack of a sounding buzzer really means you'll have to pay attention to the time. However, there is an automatic shut-off, should you forget that you left it on.
