The Gold Star egg boiler is a tiny, very cheap electric egg steamer with 1โ€“2 tiers. It hard-boils or steams a batch of eggs for breakfast without you babysitting a pot.

What you get

A small plug-in cooker with one or two trays, depending on the model you pick. Add water, load the eggs, and it steams them soft or hard in minutes, then buzzes off, so you can get dressed for work instead of watching a pot. That hands-off timing is the real selling point over boiling on the stove. The listing skips the wattage, capacity, and material, which is normal for a budget gadget at this price, so the exact egg count per tray is worth confirming with the seller.

Is it just for eggs?

Mostly, yes. The upper tray can warm a siopao, soften a few pieces of siomai, or steam a small portion of veggies to go with your itlog and pandesal, enough to round out a solo breakfast. But the trays are shallow and the whole unit is tiny, so fish, rice, or a family batch are out. Think of it as a one- or two-person breakfast tool, not a meal steamer.

Is it sulit?

Around โ‚ฑ249 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Very cheap, and it does one job well. Just note the 4.6 rating is the lowest in our list, so feedback is a bit more mixed than the top picks. Read the recent listing reviews before you order.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want fast eggs for one or two people and counter space is tight: a dorm, a studio, or a small breakfast setup. Need to steam fish, rice, or big batches? This is too small. Step up to a multi-tier unit in our best food steamers in the Philippines roundup, or match the size in the food steamer buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

If you want a better-specified egg cooker, the Tough Mama NTM-MINI 2-in-1 is our Best Egg Boiler pick (7 eggs and a stated 600W) at around โ‚ฑ699 as of July 11, 2026. Need to steam actual meals, not just eggs? The Astron FS48 2-layer food steamer, our Best Value pick, gives you 4.8L of room for around โ‚ฑ899 as of July 11, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many eggs can it boil at once?

The listing doesn't state the exact capacity. It comes in 1-tier and 2-tier versions, so the double layer fits more. Ask the seller via Shopee chat for the per-tray count before ordering.

Can it steam food other than eggs?

A little. The upper tray can warm a siopao or steam a small portion of veggies. It's an egg cooker first, so don't expect it to handle fish or rice.

What's the wattage, and will it work on my outlet?

It runs on 220V, so a normal PH outlet is fine, but the listing skips the wattage. Ask via Shopee chat if that matters to you.

Is the 4.6 rating something to worry about?

It's the lowest rating among our steamer picks, so buyer feedback is more mixed than the top choices. At around โ‚ฑ249 as of July 11, 2026 the risk is small, but read recent reviews on the listing first.
