You would have to tape down the 'on' switch on the electric kettle to ensure it didn't switch off the heating element once it reached boiling point (electric kettles are designed to shut off their heating element when they reach boiling point). To boil the egg you would need the water to be boiling for a period of time (not just the few seconds between when the kettle reaches boiling point and when it shuts off the heating element). 2. You would need to take the eggs out of the kettle at some point to test whether they were cooked. The test is to see whether when you spin them on a flat surface they spin quickly (boiled) or slowly (uncooked). 3. You would need to be VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ELECTROCUTE YOURSELF. When putting eggs in the water or taking them out, you would want to ensure the plug was not connected to the mains. 4. It is likely you would suffer from some steam burns during this process. An electric kettle is designed to keep in steam (like a pot with a lid on it) so it is likely that this design feature will mean that steam is concentrated in an around the kettle when it is open - the same place you will be using your hands! So uh...yeah...use an implement not your hands and be dang careful. Yes, in theory, but it is not desirable and impractical for the following reasons:

If what you mean to ask is "can eggs be cooked hard or soft boiled style in an electric kettle". Most certainly the answer is yes. It just might take a little bit more time depending on how hot the kettle can heat the water. I must say however that according to general food preparation rules. eggs must be cooked to a temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit ( 63 degrees Celsius) in order to be safe for consumption.

Empty the kettle. Put in 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup white vinegar. Fill the kettle with very hot to boiling water after you add the soda and vinegar. Stir to mix and let sit overnight. Drain and rinse very well. There is something about the baking soda that acts like a refresher and the vinegar will cut through slime. I use this method to sweeten the smell of my household drains.
