Is a egg cooker patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a egg cooker have been patented many times, but "a egg cooker" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 12 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “egg cookerboiler” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 12 best keyword matches we examined, 5 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2003.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: BONSELL STUART (2), HUANG YONGSHENG (1), MARTIN SCOTT (1), YONGKANG HUITIAN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CO LTD (1).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): A47J (12), A23L (2), F25D (1), A23V (1).

Counts come from keyword matching on titles and abstracts, so they are indicative, not a legal count. Some matches are different products that share a word.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a egg cooker been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Kitchen gadgets are a crowded, mature field; novelty usually sits in one specific mechanism, the material, or how two familiar functions are combined.
