Here are four of the most creative ways we've ever heard of to cook eggs. This list has definitely encouraged us to get a little more creative!

Hard-boiled… in the dishwasher
Why: For hard-boiled eggs without any of the work
How: If you're running a load anyway, you may as well cook some eggs while you're at it! Put them in plastic bags in case they crack during the vicious rinse cycle.

Scrambled… in a rice cooker
Why: This is great for flan-like eggs without an oven, or to feed a crowd that's not eating at the same time.
How: Add water to whisked eggs and let them steam for a soft, silky custard, OR melt butter in the pan and scramble eggs in the pot. Cover and stir every 5 minutes until done, about 15 minutes. Flip the switch to “warm” to keep them cozy until you’re ready to dig in.

Poached… in the microwave
Why: For eggs at the office or in a hotel room
How: Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl or mug, then pour in 1/2 cup water and a dash of vinegar. Nuke on high for 1 minute. If it's not done, continue to cook at 50% power in 20-second increments. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon

Soft-boiled… in sous vide
Why: You want a thick, creamy yolk with the softest whites (or you want to show off)
How: Preheat the water to 149.9℉ for a perfect soft-boiled egg. Lower the eggs gently into the water bath using a spoon, wait 45 minutes, then remove the eggs from the bath and run them under cold water for a few seconds until they’re cool enough to handle. Crack the shells gently and peel.

We never would have thought of most of these methods for cooking eggs, but we have to say…they really work! In fact, we may just have eggs more often simply to have an excuse to try all of these methods!
