my mrs likes to go to work on an egg..

..and eggy snacks on the weekend..

For the last couple of years she's relied on this contraption:

http://www.tefal.co.uk/Breakfast/Toasters/Toast-n%27-Bean/p/1500578163


"TEFAL Toast n' Bean
To poach or boil eggs with very little effort in less than 4 minutes.
For those who are rushed in the morning but still like to make time for a hearty breakfast or people who want a quick and tasty lunch or dinner, the new Tefal Toast N Bean creates a nutritional and delicious dish in a flash that will give any day the perfect boost.
Revolutionise meal times with the Toast N Bean, a unique toaster which cooks ½ a tin of baked beans at the same time as it makes tasty toast. Following on from its predecessor the Toast N Egg, Tefal’s new creation also allows food lovers to poach or boil eggs with little very effort in less than 4 minutes. "

Demo videos on youtube..
Usually about £29 from the usual big UK shops [and often cheaper than the smaller and less versatile predecessor]...

Strange coincidence - hers's has packed in after a couple years frequent use, around the time this thread started...???

So, getting her a new one from Argos tomorrow...
