The toaster egg poacher is designed for someone whose hectic morning schedule makes them inclined to abandon the idea of preparing breakfast. Using the toaster egg poacher, you can prepare breakfast in less time than it would take you to navigate your way through a fast food breakfast line. Depending on the model of toaster egg poacher you select, you can toast 2 or 4 pieces of bread, poach 1 or 2 eggs, and warm your bacon, sausage, or ham at the same time. All you have to do is put the items in the machine, make your timer selection, and in just a few minutes you will have breakfast ready.
The machine has an auto shut off feature so you can be rushing around doing other morning activities while your breakfast is being cooked to perfection. Product reviews vary concerning the functionality of the toaster egg poacher. The one unfavorable issue seems to be with the lack of durability. Several reviewers complained that the machine did not last as long as they expected it would. The size doesn’t seem to be an issue even though it does take more counter space than a regular toaster.
