(very) small appliances like this are a boon to us who live in the desert
and try to avoid heating the full-size oven for small items. This is one I
might consider. I think it might be to hot for eggs, however.

I use my toaster oven for roasting vegetables, broiling meat and fish. My
electric egg cooker makes an acceptable poached egg and hard boiled eggs
that peel easily and never crack. My small appliance aresenal also
includes two electric skillets, two crockpots, electric roaster, KA mixer,
hand mixer, blender, food processor, antique malt mixer, electric sandwich
maker, two waffle makers, spice mill, burr coffee grinder, and probably
some other things I haven't remembered.

I had a contact grill but despised cleaning it, regardless of method. If I
can't dishwasher the soiled parts, then I don't want it in my house. <g>

Our tiny kitchen is cramped in this rental house, but we finally have an
end in sight. We closed on our property and our house is under
construction, with a possible end of August move date. I will have plenty
of pantry and storage areas there for everything.
