Contraptions that are single-purpose and do their job well are defensible, IMHO, yet I still dislike the space and specialized cleaning requirements of devices

  Try this then: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LTIYN2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LTIYN2 toaster and egg maker in one, and it can synchronize them.

    It has the same problem, along with not easily being able to replace 1/2 of it.

  My household hard-cooks all of our eggs in a rice cooker with a steamer tray insert (Zojirushi NHS-10). The cooking time is set by the amount of water you add. We mainly err on the side of overcooked (more water), because nobody likes soft yolks. The rice cooker and convection/toaster oven have been the two most universally useful appliances in our kitchen, and they are both still operational after an average of 15 years in service. Other gadgets have come and gone, and they remain. They have even outlasted four microwave ovens, three slow-cookers, and one full-sized range-top oven. A rice cooker is useful enough in every home kitchen that I consider it a dire omission that they didn't even get a mention in the article. Ours can cook a dozen eggs in 15 minutes, most of that time can be spent doing something else, and there's no boiling water to pour out.

    Just to add, Zojirushi are top of the line rice cookers and I would expect that they outlast most other appliances.
