These cute penguins are starting to go viral on TikTok and across social media and for a good reason, too. Not only are they adorable to look at, but they are great to cook your morning eggs. Simply place six eggs in each of the penguins, and put them in to boil for as long as you like. Once boiled, the cooker can be used to serve the eggs on the table or store them in the fridge for later. It's also BPA free and dishwasher safe making the whole cooking process a breeze.

This novel hen-shaped egg cooker will bring immediate joy to your mornings. Save time, and excessive clean-up, by boiling or steaming your breakfast beneath her yellow lid. She can control temperature automatically, and can also be used to steam vegetables like corn, making for easy cooking in the evenings, too. With a stainless steel steaming plate that can be removed, washed, and re-used, your egg-cooking capabilities will improve exponentially with the help of this chook.

Cooking eggs in the microwave is a great time-saver, but we all know how messy it can become as we try to pull it off. These plastic containers make the perfect eggs to go on a sandwich or breakfast roll, if you simply crack one into the red bowl and allow it to cook for just a minute. This product also promotes a healthier option – as you don't need butter or oil to get the perfect egg.

If you're not averse to using a frying pan to cook your eggs, this one from Sumtxuni is an excellent option.

And if you're a fan of other types of breakfast cookups, this pan also helps make the most perfectly-shaped pancakes.

Every kitchen should have a pack of egg cooking rings. If you just don't have the space for a specific device for cooking eggs, you can at least make your life a little easier by popping these into the pan or on the barbeque, cracking your egg inside, and keeping them the perfect size. You can get four cooking rings for 25 per cent off on Amazon, now selling for $19.

Another product designed to help you microwave your eggs while keeping things clean and contained, this two-compartment dish will give you the poached eggs you need for your Sunday morning avocado toast. Simply fill the dish with water, crack an egg into it, pop it in the microwave, and wait.
