egg cooker

also called egg boiler

A cooking appliance that cooks eggs by dosed-water steam: a measured amount of water poured onto a single heating plate boils to steam, eggs held in a tray above cook to soft, medium or hard set by the water volume dosed, and the unit auto-shuts-off when the plate runs dry. Its heat is fixed (a single non-adjustable element; doneness is chosen by the water measure, not a heat control), so beyond that it answers only its egg capacity — how many eggs it cooks at once (typically 6, 7, 10, 12 or 14), the headline spec a buyer chooses on. It also states which egg preparations it supports — boil, and on multi-function units (Cuisinart CEC-10, Dash Deluxe) poach, scramble and omelet, determined by the trays it ships with; egg FIRMNESS (soft/medium/hard), by contrast, is set by the water dose, not a control. Distinct from a tiered food steamer (rated by basket count or volume, for vegetables and fish — not egg-count), from a pot cooker (an actively-cooked removable crock), and from boiling eggs in a non-powered pan on a hob.
