Okay, you guys know I’m all about finding those little kitchen helpers that make life a smidge easier. Between the daily grind, trying to eat something that resembles a balanced diet, and, well, let’s just say my enthusiasm for complicated recipes is… limited, anything that streamlines things is a major win in my book. So, when I saw the Evoloop Rapid Egg Cooker Electric (with its 12-egg capacity!) bundled with a 1.7L Electric Kettle, my interest was definitely piqued. A combo promising speed, minimal effort, and efficiency? I had to check it out!
First Impressions:
Right off the bat, the set has a nice, clean look. The stainless steel kettle feels solid, modern – you know, not like it’s going to fall apart after a few uses. And the egg cooker? Surprisingly compact, which is a huge bonus considering my counter space is currently playing host to a precarious tower of cookbooks. I was also happy to see all the little extras that came with the egg cooker: poaching trays, an omelet tray, and this quirky little cup with a needle on the bottom. What’s that for, you ask? More on that in a sec!
The Egg-cellent Egg Cooker:
Let’s be honest, I live on hard-boiled eggs some weeks. They’re pure protein power, perfect for a quick snack, and a lifesaver when I’m trying to meal prep. But I swear, every time I try to boil them on the stove, I end up with that lovely, albeit unappetizing, green ring around the yolk. Ugh.
So, the Evoloop egg cooker boasts that it can whip up 12 eggs at once, and you know I had to put that claim to the test. Following the instructions, I used the aforementioned needle-cup to poke a tiny hole in each egg (apparently, this keeps them from cracking – who knew?!). Then, I added water according to the instructions, depending on whether I was craving soft, medium, or hard-boiled perfection. Flipped the switch, and waited… with bated breath, I might add.
And guess what? Magic. The buzzer sounded, and I was greeted with… wait for it… perfectly cooked eggs! Not a hint of green in sight. I even got a little adventurous and tried poaching a couple of eggs using the tray. It took a try or two to nail the timing, but the results were seriously impressive. I can already see myself breaking this out for weekend brunches. And the omelet tray? That’s next on my culinary to-do list!
The claim that it cuts cooking time (and cost) compared to the stovetop method? Totally checks out. Plus, cleanup is a total breeze since those little trays are dishwasher-safe. Hallelujah!
Kettle Me This:
Alright, let’s talk kettle. I’ve seen my fair share of kettles come and go over the years, and I’ve gotta say, the Evoloop 1.7L Electric Kettle holds its own. That 1500W heating element means water boils fast. Like, seriously fast. Perfect for my morning caffeine fix or a cozy cup of tea in the afternoon.
What I really appreciate are the safety features. The auto shut-off and boil-dry protection are a godsend for someone as easily distracted as I am. You know, the kind of person who puts the kettle on and then wanders off to check social media… The stay-cool handle is another thoughtful touch, saving me from any potential kitchen mishaps.
Minor Gripes:
Okay, if I’m being super picky, I’d say the instruction manual could use a little work. Figuring out the right water levels for the egg cooker took a minute (and a little guesswork). And while the kettle looks gorgeous, the water level window is a tad hard to see depending on the lighting.
The Verdict:
All in all, I’m seriously digging the Evoloop Rapid Egg Cooker and Kettle Combo. It’s a super convenient, efficient, and budget-friendly way to simplify things in the kitchen. Whether you’re a busy student, a working professional, or just someone who loves a clever gadget, this set is definitely worth a look. It gets a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars from yours truly! I have a feeling this is going to be a kitchen staple for years to come. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to whip up an egg sandwich. My stomach is calling!
