The Hub verdict

A water-free egg cooker is exactly the sort of inventive gadget the early Den ran on, and James Seddon brought it to series three in 2006 asking £75,000 for 40 percent, a valuation of £187,500. That was an era of the show when even modest kitchen inventions could command a proper five-figure raise. Two Dragons came in, Richard Farleigh and Peter Jones, which for a first-of-its-kind appliance is a useful pairing: one investor with a technology bent, one with the retail weight to get a thing made and sold.
