One of the gifts that I received this Christmas from The Man With Whom I Keep Company was a lovely little vintage Hankscraft Automatic Electric Egg Cooker. These egg cookers were manufactured from the 1920s to the 1950s and are both beautiful and simple in design.
It will cook up to 4 eggs soft, medium or hard boiled depending on how much water you put into the unit.
For a soft-boiled egg, put in 2 tbsp. of water, and plug it in. It shuts itself off when the water boils away, and that also means it’s done.
There you go – a perfect breakfast!

Nice. I love the last picture. When you have me over for breakfast, I’ll have my eggs soft, please.
that’s the coolest thing. My house was born in 1940 and that egg cooker would be right at home in my kitchen. Same concept as rice cooker–neat.
