Like the modern furniture that are designed to make your life easier, The Eiko egg broiler holds the egg in place to enable the user to retrieve the egg easily when it is done cooking. The egg hangs down from the edge of the pot into the boiling water while the handle of the spoon stays cool. When the egg is boiled, just remove the spoon and rinse the egg with cool water. The Eiko egg broiler functions as an egg cup as well.
