An egg cooker device comprises a water container 1 and an electric heating element, the container including a support platform 7 capable of lowering an egg into a body of water in the container 1, an electric motor 13 arranged for moving the platform 7 from a rest position at an open top of the container to an egg heating position within the container, a timer device connected to the motor such that the platform will remain in the egg heating position for a predetermined time interval, in which the support platform 7 includes a drive means 3 linked by a magnetic coupling to a drive source 12 located outside the container 1. This construction uses a magnetic coupling to get a drive from the motor 13 shaft through the wall of the container, it thus avoids a need to provide a water sealed opening for the shaft in the container 1 wall.
An egg cooker device comprising a water container and an electric heating element, the container including a support platform capable of lowering an egg when present into a body of water when present in the container, an electric motor arranged for moving the said platform from a rest position at an open top of the container to an egg heating position within the container, a timer device connected to the motor such that the platform movement will allow the platform to remain in the egg heating position for a predetermined time interval, in which the support platform includes a drive means linked by a magnetic coupling to a drive source located outside the container.
