- Hi, I'm Alix, I'm a Tasty producer
and I love trying random kitchen gadgets.
Today, I'm gonna be testing and reviewing
the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker.
I'm gonna be testing
three different kinds of egg preparations,
a poached egg, a boiled egg and an omelet.
I'm eggcited.
Let's crack this thing open.
Ooh.
Okay, we got some, ooh, get cooking good looking.
Geez, there's lots of instructions on this thing.
So it looks like it has a little dome top.
Some more pieces inside here.
Let's open this all up.
So we've got our little trays for the eggs I'm assuming.
This does feel a little small though.
I don't know what kinda egg you're putting in here.
What is this an egg tray for ants?
I'm assuming you would put water in here
and this would heat up but a minimal amount of water
so then it kinda steams everything you're cooking
but maybe we should just read the instructions.
Should I, ooh, should I read these warnings?
Note, do not place the lid in the locked position
when the appliance is in use?
Maybe 'cause you need to be able to rapid,
I put it in the locked position.
I haven't broken it yet
and hopefully it lives up to all its cracked to be.
We're gonna get started with poached eggs.
Now, poached eggs are notoriously hard to make
so we'll see how this goes.
Use oil to grease the poaching tray.
You break an egg into each section of the poaching tray,
fill water up to the omelet poached mark
and pour into the heating plate.
So now we're gonna put our egg tray on this.
The top right on there.
I'm not gonna lock it 'cause it said not to lock it
and I'm scared of why.
♪ Plug it in plug it in ♪
Oh and now we have to press the button.
Are you ready?
We're lit.
I don't know how long this is supposed to take
before the buzzer goes off
so I'm just gonna start a timer
but things are already starting to happen.
I mean, the lid is starting to cloud up.
There is a little vent on top here for hot steam it says.
So we are essentially steaming our eggs
which isn't really classic to a poached egg.
It's starting to get white over the top of the yolk.
Here's the thing though,
it's not round like it's supposed to be.
It's more of like an oval half moon.
Overall, I'd say this hasn't saved too much.
(fun music)
That was so cute.
Okay, whoo, that was about six minutes total.
Oh my gosh, these are overcooked.
There's a little bit of water
that I'm kind of draining off of this.
Okay, I'm just gonna try to slide one of these off of here.
Ooh, oh.
Wow, look at her.
And then for a little color gonna top with some chives.
We're ready to try it.
So you can tell what I made probably.
- Eggs benedict? - Yeah.
Oh, okay, so looks can be deceiving.
- It's good.
It's almost like a boiled egg.
- I would say that the egg itself is a little tougher
than a poached egg should be.
I think this gets it close.
If you were to give this poached egg a letter grade,
what would you give it?
- C minus 'cause it's not poached.
- Yeah, it's not poached.
I would agree.
- I expect round, plump, soft poached egg.
- All right, thanks Rie.
- Thank you.
- Although I gave you food so you should be thanking me.
- Oh, thank you, thank you for the delicious meal.
- You're welcome.
All right, onto the next.
So we're gonna do our boiled eggs.
Hopefully they taste good
and hopefully we can use them to make some deviled eggs.
I assume that we're just going to be using our boiling tray
'cause it seems like perfectly fitted for, yep,
but let me still read the instructions.
Pierce the larger end of the egg
with the attached pin at the bottom of the measuring cup.
Okay, so we've got a pin.
Oh, geez.
So there's a sharp pin on the end of the measuring cup.
I'm worried that I never noticed that before.
I'm just gonna give that a little pierce.
I'm worried I'm gonna break it.
I only, I went as far as I can, oh, oh, there we go.
Well, now we have a total of six we can cook at one time
which is pretty nice.
I'm just gonna, oh, you have to press a little bit hard.
I need to put our handle in here
so we're able to just pick it up nicely.
Oh, interesting, so this cup has a line for soft,
medium and hard.
For deviled eggs, they tend to use more of a harder yolk
so I'm gonna go for the hard.
Okay, so I'm gonna pour this right in here again
and we're gonna put our cute little boiling tray
right on there.
Point it upwards.
I'm gonna put our lid on.
Oh, there it goes and now we wait.
Is it much faster than actually just boiling an egg?
Maybe, here's the point.
You don't have to wait for your water to heat up
which takes a while.
I assume this is gonna hit around 11 minutes.
10:30.
Maybe you could.
Gets me every time.
Oh, I'm just gonna transfer these into our cold water
so that they can stop cooking.
For some reason it smells like pancakes.
Actually, it's peeling fairly well.
It feels firm, feels exactly like a hard boiled egg.
Some water legit just squirted through that little hole.
Wow, I'm really gonna smell like eggs
at the end of this day.
So now to make our deviled eggs,
I am just going to cut each of these in half.
So now I'm just going to dump all of our yolks
into this bowl.
You can also play up on the flavors.
You could throw a little jalapeno in there.
You can do some bacon.
Gonna mix it with about three tablespoons of mayonnaise,
a couple of teaspoons of sweet pickle relish, Dijon mustard
then I'm gonna add a little bit of salt, some pepper.
This is a massive pepper grinder.
A little bit of cayenne just for an added kick.
I'm just gonna mix this up real good with a fork.
Transfer it to a piping bag.
Almost there.
So now for a little added extra color,
I'm gonna top these with a little bit of paprika
and then lastly with some of our chives.
Can't wait to eat them.
- [Katie] These look good.
- I know.
So Katie actually has one of these egg cookers at home.
- Yes.
- So we could call her an eggspert.
- So you use this a lot?
- All the time but mostly my husband
'cause he loves hard boiled eggs.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Deviled egg cheers.
Mm.
- Nice. - Perfect.
- Have you ever used the other cooks on it?
- Well, the medium does, it really does do pretty well.
I think that's why.
- Oh, it does, okay, well that's awesome.
What letter grade would you give to our eggs?
- A plus plus plus plus.
- You heard it here from our eggspert.
All right so last but not least we are gonna make an omelet.
So I'm just gonna make a basic omelet
with a few of my favorite veggies
and then we'll get to rapid cooking.
So we're pouring it up to our omelet line
which is the same exact line as the poached line.
Okay, so I'm gonna put it right on our heating tray
which is a little dirty might I add.
So I'm gonna grease our little dish again.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl
before you put them in an omelet bowl.
I wonder if it says how many eggs you're supposed to use.
Whisk one to two eggs.
I'm gonna do two eggs.
So I'm just gonna give this a whisk.
Add a little salt, a little pepper, green onions,
red bell pepper, some spinach.
Wow, so healthy
and then I'm gonna add some bacon and cheese.
So a little bit of cooked bacon.
A little bit of shredded cheddar cheese.
That is a jampacked omelet.
Now I'm gonna pour this all right in our tray.
That fit pretty well.
Once again I'm gonna put the lid on our cooker.
All right, we're ready to go.
Double double rapid boil in trouble.
It's turning whitish.
We're essentially making an egg patty
rather than a classic omelet.
If it tastes like an omelet, I'm not gonna complain.
Ooh, it's growing in a weird way.
It's coming out of the side a little.
Whoo.
Smells good.
It seems very loose.
Let's just try that.
There we go.
Ugh.
Ugh, it's oozing.
I don't think it's raw egg like I initially thought.
I think it's water.
It collects some of that condensation
and it makes for more of a watery omelet.
Let's see how it tastes.
If you get can around the wetness, it's not that bad.
Is this an omelet?
No.
It's possible that you weren't supposed
to fill it with anything
but who wants an omelet with no filling?
It doesn't say that you can't put anything in there
but the picture is of just eggs.
I'm gonna give this a D.
All right, we did it.
Overall I'd say this was sort of a mixed experience.
Did the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker do its job?
It did a job.
All in all, if you like boiled eggs a lot,
this could be good for you.
It's pretty easy to use, it's quick and it's pretty cute.
If you make any of these recipes, let me know.
You know where to find me
and comment down below on what you want us to review next.

Will you do the Dash Rapid with me?
- Can you teach me again?
