Abstract
Cooking eggs in an electric egg cooker involves the risk of egg contents escaping through openings in the shell and soiling the cooker. To make the egg cooker easy to care for, it is important, in such a situation, for the soiled parts to be easily cleaned. However, this is generally not the case for the electrical components. An egg cooker includes having all of the electrical components disposed above a position of the eggs that are to be cooked so that substantially only the mechanical components that lie next to or below the eggs are affected by soiling. These mechanical components, advantageously, can be removed and may also be dishwasher-safe. As such, caring for an electric egg cooker is made significantly easier.
