    I’ve never seen any of those with permanent counter space in any American kitchen. I’ve never even heard of an electric egg poacher.

      I chose intentionally obscure and wacky gadgets to overstate the point. I don’t genuinely think everyone has these :)

      In the era before cheap microwave ovens the electric egg steamer was my go-to dorm appliance!. I found a coffee can would fit in place of the cover. Then it could not only cook eggs, it could reheat Chef Boyardee and Dinty Moore stew cans.
