Previously, on this site, I introduced "Hot Dog Toaster ", which allows you to bake bread and sausage at the same time, as the first in the "American, I'm annoyed" series. This time, we would like to introduce "CEC-10 Egg Central Egg Cooker" as the second part of the series.

As the name suggests, the CEC-10 Egg Central Egg Cooker is a cooking utensil that can make 10 boiled eggs at a time. Water is put in the bottom to bring it to a boil, and the steam boil the eggs. Depending on the amount of water, you can adjust the amount of boiled eggs such as hard-boiled and soft-boiled eggs, and if you do not make a mistake in the amount of water, anyone can make a soft-boiled egg! Oh, this is an annoying American favorite!

In addition to boiled eggs, a tray for making poached eggs and omelets is also included. The name "Egg Central" wasn't obvious.

Well, this product is selling well, but unfortunately it seems to be not good enough. In the comment section of the online shop, there is a note saying "I like boiled eggs, but 10 are too many." Hmmm, right.

So do Americans want this if they can only make a small number at a time? It seems like that. That's because there is a product called "West Bend 86628 Automatic Egg Cooker" that allows you to make 7 boiled eggs or 4 poached eggs at a time.

The "West Bend 86628 Automatic Egg Cooker" design, which allows you to boil 7 eggs at a time, is a little fashionable.

There are 10 out of 7, and only 3 are down, so it makes me want to put in a rush, but maybe because of the cuteness of the design, this product is selling well. However, the reputation is not good, for example, the following is written in the comment section.

"I'm happy with the product, but I'm wondering if it doesn't switch off automatically. I have an Egg Cooker 50 years ago, which has the ability to switch off automatically."

……e? Has America had an Egg Cooker for 50 years? Before I was born? ?? No, I know it's not the place to react, but it's amazing. I think it's amazing.

Of course you can also make poached eggs.

Both the CEC-10 Egg Central Egg Cooker and the West Bend 86628 Automatic Egg Cooker are available for purchase on Amazon.com in the United States. The price is $ 40.51 for the CEC-10 Egg Central Egg Cooker. A separate shipping fee of $ 11.97 is required, for a total of $ 52.48. West Bend 86628 Automatic Egg Cooker is $ 28.83. The shipping cost is $ 13.46, so the total is $ 42.29.

Now, do you want to buy the Egg Cooker, which hasn't evolved (rather degenerated?) 50 years ago, for as much as $ 42.29? I'm at a loss. I use a pot.
