How to Cook Soft, Medium, and Hard-Boiled Eggs in a Dash Egg Cooker
-
Pierce each egg with the pin at the bottom of the measuring cup. Your Dash Rapid Egg Cooker should come with a measuring cup to help determine the correct amount of water to use. This cup will have a sharp pin poking out of the bottom. Use this pin to poke a small hole in the larger end of each of your eggs. [1] X Research source
- Why is this necessary? There’s a small air pocket in the wider end of each egg. When you pierce your egg, this air gets released, which prevents it from cracking during the cooking process, makes it easier to peel, and gives it a more uniform shape. [2] X Research source
-
Use the measuring cup to pour the right amount of water into the heating plate. One one side of the measuring cup that came with your cooker, there will be lines showing you how much water to use for soft, medium, or hard-boiled eggs. Fill the cup to the appropriate line for the type of eggs you’d like, then pour the water into the metal heating plate at the base of your egg cooker. [3] X Research source
- Make sure the egg cooker is unplugged during this step—you’ll plug it in later when you’re ready to actually start cooking the eggs. [4] X Research source
- You’ll need to use the measuring cup that came with your Dash egg cooker (rather than a regular measuring cup) to make sure you get the ideal result. If you lost this cup, don’t worry! Dash sells replacements on their website .

Place your eggs in the egg cooker. Place the removable boiling tray (the accessory that has a spot for each of your eggs) onto the heating plate if you haven’t already done so. Next, place an egg in each of the designated spots in the boiling tray, making sure that the wider ends with the holes poked in them are facing upwards. [5] X Research source
-
Put on the lid, plug in the cooker, and press the power button. The indicator light should turn on, alerting you that your eggs are cooking. Now, all you need to do is let the appliance work its magic! [6] X Research source
-
When the buzzer sounds, turn off the cooker and remove your eggs. The buzzer will alert you when your eggs are done cooking, which will take a different amount of time depending on the amount of water you used. When you hear the sound, push the power button to silence it, then use tongs to remove each of your eggs. [7] X Research source
- Don’t use your bare hands to remove the eggs—they will be hot!
-
Place your eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This step is technically optional, but it will help you get a super yellow yolk and prevent the eggs from overcooking. It will also make them easier to peel . [8] X Research source
- And that’s it! Enjoy your soft, medium, or hard-boiled eggs on their own, use them in your favorite recipes, or store them for later.

How to Cook Poached Eggs in a Dash Egg Cooker
-
Use the measuring cup to pour the correct amount of water into the heating tray. One side of the measuring cup that came with your egg cooker should show you the proper amount of water to use for poached eggs. [9] X Research source Fill the cup up to the appropriate line, then pour the water into the heating plate.
-
Grease the poaching tray with cooking oil. Your Dash egg cooker should come with a poaching tray to place on top of the boiling tray if you want to make poached eggs. Lightly grease each of the two compartments in the poaching tray with the cooking oil of your choice. [10] X Research source
-
Crack an egg into each compartment of the poaching tray. Position the poaching tray on top of the boiling tray, then break an egg into each of the two compartments. [11] X Research source Be careful not to break the yolks as you’re cracking your eggs—the perfect poached egg usually features an intact yolk. [12] X Research source
- Always place the poaching tray on top of the boiling tray, not directly on the heating plate! [13] X Research source
-
Put the lid on, plug in the machine, and press the power button. This will start the cooking process, and you’ll see the machine start to fill with steam. Now all you need to do is wait for the chime alerting you that the eggs are done. [14] X Research source
-
When the machine chimes, turn it off and remove your eggs. The alarm will sound as soon as your eggs are done cooking. Switch the cooker off and remove your eggs right away to prevent overcooking. [15] X Research source
- Be careful when removing your eggs—they will be hot, and so will all the parts of the machine.

How to Cook an Omelette in a Dash Egg Cooker
-
Using the measuring cup, pour the correct amount of water into the heating tray. The measuring cup that came with your egg cooker will have a line designating the right amount of water to use for an omelet. Fill it up to this line, then pour the water into the heating tray at the base of your egg cooker. [16] X Research source
-
Grease the omelette bowl and place it on the boiling tray. Your Dash egg cooker comes with a special bowl for making omelettes. Lightly grease this omelet bowl with the cooking oil of your choice to prevent the eggs from sticking, then place it on top of the boiling tray. [17] X Research source
- Be sure to place the omelette bowl on top of the boiling tray , not directly onto the heating tray in the base of the machine.
-
Crack 1-2 eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Using a fork or a whisk, mix your eggs together until the yolks and whites are completely combined. At this point, you can also add some salt, pepper, and any other seasonings or add-ins you like to use when you make omelets. [18] X Research source
- For example, you could add some pre-cooked bacon, pre-sauteed onions or bell peppers, chopped chives, shredded cheddar cheese—whatever you have a taste for! [19] X Research source
-
Pour your egg mixture into the omelette bowl, and start the cooker. Once you’ve whisked your eggs and added in any extra seasonings and ingredients you want to use, carefully pour the mixture into the omelette bowl. Cover the machine with the lid, and press the power button to start cooking. [20] X Research source
- Now, all you need to do is wait until the alarm sounds to alert you that the omelette is done!
-
When the chime sounds, turn off the machine and remove your eggs. Use a spatula to remove the omelet from the tray, and place it on a plate. Serve your omelet as-is, or get fancy and top it with some hot sauce, sliced avocado, or chopped herbs.
