Hankscraft 599 Egg Cooker in Lettuce Green with 4 Egg Cups

Hankscraft began manufacturing its very popular easy to use egg cookers in the early 1930s with this Model 599. You simply place up to four eggs in the base, install the domed lid over them, pour a measured amount of tap water into the lid handle funnel, and plug it in. When the water is boiled away the eggs are done.

The degree of doneness is controlled by the amount of water placed in the cooker. By placing any heat proof custard cup under the dome these egg cookers can also poach eggs very nicely. Complete directions were placed on the bottom of the unit by the thoughtful folks at Hankscraft. This unit measures approximately 6 inches high by 5 ½ inches in diameter and is just about as perfect as we have seen an example of this model. The porcelain is perfect inside and out and the cord is new.

This one comes with a set of four egg cups in green, much sought after as quite unusual, early, and distinctive color, sort of like McKee but not.

Hankscraft 815 Yellowish Orange Egg Cooker

This cooker looks nearly new and is in excellent condition. It is decidedly more yellow-orange than the reddish orange one listed above. Depicting color shades on computers accurately is difficult at best. Of course if you receive an item which turns out to be the wrong shade for your purposes feel free to return it without question.

Hankscraft Model 730 Egg Cooker

Of all the egg cooker models Hankscraft produced over the years, we feel this Model 730 is the classiest of them all. It is a Porcelier look alike right down to the cream color, silver accents, and classic lines. This unit measures 6 inches high by 5 ½ inches in diameter and can cook four large size eggs.

This example is in excellent condition. It has a new cord and works like the day it left the Madison, Wisconsin factory. The only flaw is some slight paint loss on the bottom plate.

Also available with four matching egg cups.

Pearlescent green

Hankscraft Pearlescent Green with Polished Lid

The picture does not do this piece justice and we don't know how to capture the beauty of this item in a photograph. It has a pearl-like sparkling glaze over very subtle grey green swirls over an eggshell background. This is nothing short of a functional 1920s art-glass sculpture. This example appears to be mint new never used. We have a second example listed below with a brushed nickel dome rather than the polished dome seen here.

Hankscraft Pearlescent Green with Brushed Lid

This piece is identical to the one listed above, except for the unusual brushed nickel dome rather than the more common polished nickel found on most Hankscraft cookers. This like the other pearlescent example is a beautiful unique piece of functional classic 1920s art glass. No two are ever exactly alike and were made for a very discriminating clientele.

Hankscraft Most Petite

From the 1920s into the 1950s, Hankscraft made scores of models of these wonderfully simple egg cookers. And, this one is the most petite. It is smaller than the other models but still has a four egg capacity.

This cream colored example is mint, new, never used.

We have matching egg cups available. Ask about the mint new hostess set which includes this cooker, four matching egg cups, and an enameled tray with the original box (storage worn).

Serves up Four Perfectly Poached Eggs

Hankscraft in Black - Last Version

This Hankscraft is the last model egg cooker the company produced and likely dates to the 1960s. It is made of black heat proof high impact plastic with brightly chromed steel fittings. The unit measures approximately 9 inches in diameter by 5 inches tall. This model like all previous Hankscraft cookers works by boiling away a measured amount of water to time the hardness of the eggs. It's large enough to cook six eggs simultaneously. The accessory poaching tray accommodates four eggs.

This example has a few very light storage scratches to the lid but otherwise is perfect and appears never to have been used. It includes a detachable cord set.

Sunbeam Egg Cooker

This little egg cooker is one of the cleverest devices Sunbeam ever produced for the kitchen. It soft boils eggs consistently to the same degree of doneness without being a slave to an egg timer.

You place eggs into the rack, then a measured amount of water, place the lid on, and press down on the switch to start cooking. The water is quickly turned to steam which cooks the eggs. When the water evaporates completely, the cooker shuts off automatically with a loud thump.

The lid handle is signed "Sunbeam" and when turned over has markings for how much water to measure according to your taste for Very Soft, Medium, and Hard, It even has a pin point to pierce the egg shell before boiling.

This one shows use and wear but is still perfectly serviceable. It comes with a copy of the original hang tag with Sunbeam's directions.

We also have the optional accessory for poaching eggs.

Ask about the one I have that is mint with the box.
