I can absolutely recommend the egg boiler by Krups. He is certainly not the best egg cookers in the market, but that also does not matter. KRUPS you'd expect superior quality and you will not get too! It is perhaps interesting that in the newer versions, the cover is no longer (as shown) is attached, but is made of transparent plastic. I would like to highlight the very stable design of the plastic insert and the media cover. Many cheaper versions often is there a risk that this thin plastic versions break after a short time. The high quality design at Krups I have no fear in this regard. I like most medium-hard eggs. Due to the very precise graduation of the measuring cup I can enjoy my eggs so far always cooked just right. The egg white is firm, the yolk still slightly liquid. Perfect. Another practical feature is the warm function, with which you can keep warm the eggs after quenching. However, one gets so after a while, logically, hard-boiled eggs. I would buy the egg boiler by Krups at any time and look forward to every Sunday my exact medium hard-boiled eggs.
