Egg Cooker

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?

Stop cooking the eggs in there. 😉

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?! 😛

Get a woman and ask her very nicely to cook them for you. 🙂

What I find interesting is that you seem to be boiling water for tea in a container that has the fresh/obnoxious smell of raw eggs.

Who said anything about tea? Let's try to keep focused here people! This is the egg cooking thread. Tea drinkers can get their own thread, thank you very much! 😠

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

hmmmmm.... Maybe I need a better tea pot. This one just has an On/Off switch and no control over the power level. Or... *rubbing hands together in anticipation* ...maybe I need to make some modifications! 😀
