Description
The Water Decides How Hard They Are.
Not a Timer, Not You.
A small appliance that takes the guesswork out of the one thing everyone still gets wrong · boils up to 7 eggs at once, steamed rather than submerged · you set doneness by measuring the water in — less for soft, more for hard — using the supplied measuring cup · when the water is gone the machine shuts off automatically, so nothing overcooks and nothing boils dry · a poaching cup for a poached egg with no oil and no swirling pan of water · a transparent lid to watch · just 350 W · compact at 17 × 16 × 15.2 cm · made in India · 2 year warranty
Water
= timehow these actually work
The thing that confuses people about an egg boiler is that there is no timer and no dial for doneness, and it looks like something is missing. Nothing is. The water is the timer. You pour a measured quantity into the heating plate, and the machine steams the eggs until that water has completely evaporated — at which point it switches itself off. Less water means less steaming time and a soft yolk; more water means longer and a hard one. The supplied measuring cup is marked for the three levels, so you fill to the line you want rather than judging by eye. Two things follow from this. First, it is genuinely repeatable — the same measure gives the same egg every morning, which boiling in a pan never quite does. Second, the measure is calibrated for a full tray, so fewer eggs cook slightly harder than the marking suggests; take a little water off when you are doing two or three.
Steamed, not boiled — and why they peel more easily
Despite the name, this does not boil eggs. It steams them, and that difference is worth knowing because it explains the two things people notice first. Steamed eggs are markedly easier to peel than pan-boiled ones. Steam penetrates the shell quickly and helps separate the membrane from the white, so the shell tends to come away in large pieces rather than taking half the egg with it. And eggs are far less likely to crack, because they sit still in a tray rather than knocking against each other and the base of a rattling pan. Two things that help further: pierce the wide end of each egg with the pin usually built into the measuring cup, which lets the air pocket expand instead of splitting the shell, and drop them into cold water for a minute afterwards to stop the cooking and loosen the shell further.
The poaching cup — a poached egg without the pan of swirling water
Poaching is the one egg preparation most people give up on, and reasonably so: a pan of barely simmering water, a splash of vinegar, a swirl, and a fair chance of a ragged mess or a broken yolk. The poaching cup sidesteps all of it. Crack the egg into the cup, place it in the tray, and let the same steam cook it in a contained shape. The result is closer to a shaped, steamed egg than a classic poached one — the texture is a little firmer and the edges neater rather than feathered — but it comes out the same way every time, with no oil, no butter and nothing to skim. Lightly grease the cup first if you want it to release cleanly, and expect to adjust the water measure once or twice to find the yolk consistency you like. One cup is supplied, so it is one poached egg at a time.
📦 In the box
Keep the measuring cup with the machine. It is the only way to set doneness accurately, and it is the part most likely to end up in the wrong drawer — replacing it is not straightforward.
🎯 Suited to
Seven at once is a batch worth making. Boiled eggs keep several days in the fridge in their shells, so a single run on Sunday covers a week of breakfasts or lunchboxes. It frees the hob at the busiest time of the morning, which is half the point of owning one.
Power cuts the moment the water is gone — so it cannot overcook the eggs or run dry, and it does not need watching.
A small draw for a heating appliance, and considerably less energy than boiling a full pan of water on the hob for two eggs.
See the eggs without lifting the lid — which matters, since lifting it releases the steam that is doing the cooking.
Small enough to leave on the counter or keep in a cupboard and pull out — a footprint smaller than a dinner plate.

Warranty as per Glen terms and conditions — 2 years on the product as stated in supplier material. The scope of cover, parts and labour, exclusions, product registration and the service process are subject to brand policy and the final invoice or warranty card. Trays, lids, poaching cups, measuring cups and seals are accessory items and may be excluded from cover; damage arising from misuse, running the appliance without water, adding water to a hot plate, scale build-up from hard water, immersion of the base or unauthorised servicing is commonly excluded. Power, capacity, dimensions and voltage are manufacturer specifications. Product weight, cooking time, the water measures corresponding to each level of doneness, heating plate material, cord length and spare accessory availability are not stated in supplier material and should be confirmed before purchase; the measures for soft, medium and hard are marked on the supplied measuring cup and set out in the user manual. Cooking results depend on the water quantity used, egg size, egg starting temperature, the number of eggs in the tray, ambient conditions and mains voltage; the standard measures are calibrated for a full tray, and cooking fewer eggs with the same measure produces a firmer result. Explanations of steam cooking, water-quantity timing, peeling and poaching technique provided here are general information to aid understanding and are not manufacturer specifications. This product is a kitchen appliance and not a medical device or a nutritional product. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition, and no health, dietary or protein-related outcome is claimed or implied. The appliance produces steam capable of causing severe scalding. The lid must not be opened during cooking and should be lifted away from the face and hands; the tray, lid, heating plate and cooked eggs remain hot after the appliance switches off. Eggs must be pierced at the wide end before cooking as instructed. Only the measured quantity of clean water may be added to the heating plate, and no other liquid or additive; the appliance must never be operated without water, and water must never be added to a hot plate. The appliance must be placed on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface clear of overhead cupboards and flammable materials, and kept away from children during operation and cooling. It must be connected to a properly earthed socket, must not be operated with wet hands, and the base, heating plate and cord must never be immersed in water. It must be unplugged and allowed to cool before cleaning. Periodic descaling is required in hard water areas. Discontinue use if the cord, plug, lid or body is damaged or if abnormal operation occurs. Eggs intended for anyone pregnant, elderly, very young or unwell should be cooked through; softer settings leave the yolk runny.
