My little electric teapot makes a heck of an egg cooker. It brings water to a boil in a hurry which is awfully nice in the morning. However there's a catch. A LOT of the eggs crack in the process. I've noticed that this tends to happen just as the water reaches a boil. I can hear them POP quite loudly actually. My assumption is that the eggs are heating so fast that the pressure is getting too high inside and that is causing the issue. Does anybody here have any ideas how to stop this from happening?

It's a good thought, but the teapot turns itself off when it reaches a boil. How about a solution that takes into account just how lazy I am?! 😛

You're supposed to take it off the heat when it hits a boil, and cover the pot.
