Eggs are one of the most versatile foods. They are perhaps better for you if boiled or poached, but you can probably still enjoy the occasional scrambled or fried egg as a treat. While the yolk contains some cholesterol, eggs are packed with nutritional benefits, including high quality protein and vitamins B2, B6, B12 and D. They are also a rich source for minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Whether you’re whipping up a frittata or scrambling some fluffy eggs, here we bring five crackin’ gadgets to cook yours to perfection every time.
