A cooking appliance includes: a base; a heater basin mounted above the base and comprising a floor and a side wall that form a cavity configured to hold water, the side wall having a perimeter edge; a heating element mounted beneath the floor of the heater basin and configured to be connected to a power source; an egg cup unit comprising a main panel and at least one cup depending from the main panel, the main panel having a perimeter edge, the at least one cup having a floor that contacts the floor of the heater basin; and a lid attached to the base and configured to cover the egg cup unit. The perimeter edge of the heater basin and the perimeter edge of the egg cup unit are in contact, the interaction of the perimeter edge of the egg cup unit and the perimeter edge of the heater basin configured to impede flow of steam generated by boiling water in the cavity of the heater basin.

Kitchen device comprising three connected parts, an inverted dome cup, an attached spout and an attached handle, which makes poaching eggs easier and safer. The spout and handle are used as arms and have flat bases so that the device can suspend across a bowl. This allows for an egg to be cracked into the inverted dome cup so unwanted messy thin egg white is removed from the surface of the egg first before poaching, through integrated slits in the cup around the handle. The remaining thick egg white and yolk can then be poured safely via the spout directly into boiling water for cooking, keeping the users hands well above the hot water level.

A cooking apparatus for holding a plurality of eggs for immersion into a vessel filled with water for heating the water and cooking the eggs to a desired consistency. A first embodiment is adapted for placement of one or both egg holders over a central support base for cooking all or a portion of less than all of the eggs contained in the holders. A second embodiment of a single egg holder uses the egg holder as the support base for placement directly into the cooking vessel.

An egg boiler device for a refrigerator appliance is provided. In one aspect, a refrigerator appliance has a refrigerator door that defines a dispenser recess. The egg boiler device includes an end cap and a canister for receiving one or more eggs for cooking. The egg boiler device is positioned within the dispenser recess and the end cap is mounted to a dispenser assembly. A dispenser of the dispenser assembly directs a volume of heated water into the egg boiler device. The heated water imparts thermal energy to the eggs, and consequently, the eggs are cooked.
