WMF Stelio: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Continue-cook function: Allows different levels of doneness in one cooking process: take out the soft eggs, keep cooking the rest
- Timer instead of measuring water: Cooking time is controlled by the timer, annoying measuring of the water amount is no longer needed
- Doneness by dial: Soft, medium or hard selectable precisely, a beep signals that the doneness is reached
- Cromargan quality: Matt WMF stainless steel housing stands for longevity and quality build
- Dishwasher-safe & tidy: Lid and egg holder may go in the dishwasher, the cable winder on the base keeps things tidy
Points of criticism
- Higher price: At around €32 clearly more expensive than no-name egg cookers, you pay for brand, Cromargan and the continue-cook function
- Short cable: 0.94 m of cable restricts placement near the socket
- Base remains hand-wash: Only lid and egg holder are dishwasher-safe, the appliance itself must be wiped by hand

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the WMF Stelio in everyday use: continue-cook function (allows different levels of doneness in one cooking process: take out the soft eggs, keep cooking the rest) and timer instead of measuring water (cooking time is controlled by the timer, annoying measuring of the water amount is no longer needed). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: higher price (at around €32 clearly more expensive than no-name egg cookers, you pay for brand, Cromargan and the continue-cook function).
If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.
