USING YOUR EGG COOKER
Cooking time will vary with egg size. The average cooking times are as
follows:
Soft 12 minutes
Hard 17 minutes
CAUTION: Egg cooker will become hot with use and produce steam.
Caution should be used to avoid coming in contact with hot steam.
NOTE: Keep eggs refrigerated until ready to use.
1. Turn power selector switch to off position.
2. Remove the cover, egg holder and poaching trays using the handles.
3. Unwrap cord to the required length.
NOTE: The measuring cup has two divisions for soft or hard boiled eggs.
Each division has markings for a specific number of eggs to be cooked.
These amounts are approximate. They may be varied according to
personal taste and preference. For boiled eggs, the basic rule is: fewer
eggs, more water.
4. Use the measuring cup to measure the proper amount of cold water
for boiling eggs and pour water into the bowl of the base.
NOTE: If your water is hard, add 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar to the water
in order to help avoid mineral deposits.
5. Pierce eggs to help avoid cracking while cooking. Place egg(s) in egg
holder on the base, large end up. Put the bottom of the
measuring cup on top of each egg and press until the egg has been
pierced. Make sure the pierced end of the egg is at the top to cook.
6. Place the cover on the base.
7. Plug into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet. Do not allow anything to rest on the
cover.
8. Turn the power selector switch to on position. The indicator light will
come on and the water will begin to heat. Do not remove cover from
the base while eggs are cooking.
9. When the cooking cycle is complete, a buzzer will sound. Carefully
turn the power selector switch to off.
10. Unplug from outlet and carefully remove cover slowly by lifting up.
11. Remove the egg holder with the cooked eggs using the handles. Hold
the eggs in the egg holder under cold water for about
30 seconds to prevent them from further cooking.
12. Allow egg cooker to cool before discarding any remaining water from
the base.
13. Clean after each use. Refer to CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
USING THE POACHING TRAYS
With the poaching trays, one or two poached eggs or omelets may be
cooked at a time. The trays were designed to hold no more than 1 large,
1 jumbo, or 2 medium eggs.
