HOW TO USE YOUR EGG COOKER

SOFT, MEDIUM, AND HARD-BOILED EGGS

1. Be sure the Egg Cooker is switched OFF before plugging into power. Remove Lid.
2. Fill the Measuring Cup to the appropriate line with cold water and pour it onto the Heating Plate. (Fig. 1)
   TIP: For best results, use distilled water - tap water contains minerals that can cause the heating plate to discolor.
3. Place the Egg Cooking Rack over the Heating Plate. The side handles should be facing upward. (Fig. 2)
   Optional: If the boiled eggs are erupting during cooking, pierce the larger end of each egg using the Piercing Pin on the bottom of the Measuring Cup. (Fig. 3)
4. Place an egg in each allotted spot on the Egg Cooking Rack.
5. Make sure the holes pierced in the eggs are pointing upwards. Do not let the eggs touch the Heating Plate.
6. Place the Lid on top of the unit and turn the PowerKnob to 1. The Indicator Light will illuminate. (Fig. 4)
7. When the Egg Cooker alarm sounds, the eggs will be cooked. Actual cooking time depends on the number of eggs and desired doneness (See Cooking Time Chart on p. 9). (Fig. 5)
8. When cooking is complete, turn the Power Knob to 0 to silence the alarm and turn the Egg Cooker off.
9. Remove eggs immediately and rinse under cold water to prevent overcooking and make egg peeling easier.

NOTES AND TIPS

• Refrigerate eggs until ready to use. Always use cold eggs – do not bring them to room temperature before using, or the eggs will be slightly overcooked.
• To find out if your eggs are fresh, place them uncooked in a bowl of salted, cool water. If they sink, they are fresh. If they float, they are not.
• The recommended water levels are a guide, and water levels may need to be adjusted to achieve the desired consistency.

POACHED EGGS

1.  Fill the Measuring Cup to the Medium line with cold water and pour it onto the stainless steel Heating Plate.  (Fig. 6)
2. Lightly butter or spray vegetable oil on the Poaching Tray.
3. Break one egg for each poaching section.
4. Place the Egg Cooking Rack over the Heating Plate.
5. Place the Poaching Tray on top of the Egg Cooking Rack. (Fig. 7)
   CAUTION: Never place the Poaching Tray or Omelet Tray directly onto the Heating Plate, as they will melt and damage the Egg Cooker.
6. Place the Lid on top of the unit and turn the Power Knob to 1. The Indicator Light will illuminate. (Fig. 8)
7. When the alarm sounds, the eggs will be ready.
8. When cooking is complete, turn the Power Knob to 0 to silence the alarm and turn the Egg Cooker off.

OMELETS

1. Fill the Measuring Cup to the Hard line with cold water and pour it onto the Heating Plate. (Fig. 10)
2. Lightly butter or spray vegetable oil on the Omelet Tray.
3. Break up to 3 eggs into a separate bowl and mix. Add water to the desired omelet consistency. If desired, add non-meat ingredients (i.e., chives, mushrooms). Pour beaten mixture into Omelet Tray. (Fig. 11)
4. Place the Egg Cooking Rack over the Heating Plate. Place the Omelet Tray on top of the Egg Cooking Rack. (Fig. 12) CAUTION: Never place the Poaching Tray or Omelet
5. Do not place them directly onto the Heating Plate, as they will melt and damage the Egg Cooker.

7. When the alarm sounds, the eggs will be ready.
8. For a firmer omelet, leave it in the Egg Cooker for a few extra minutes. It is normal for the omelet to puff up during cooking. Once the Lid is removed, the omelet will shrink back down.
9. When cooking is complete, turn the Power Knob to 0 to silence the alarm and turn the Egg Cooker off. (Fig. 13)

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1.  Always unplug your Egg Cooker appliance from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

4. Place a clean Egg Cooking Rack, Omelet and Poaching Trays, and Measuring Cup inside the Egg Cooker body to store.

CLEANING THE HEATING PLATE
The stainless steel heating surface will not rust. After a few uses, there may be discoloration to the surface left behind by minerals in your water. It is NOT rust.

1. Remove any mineral deposits left behind from water by wiping the Plate with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon of white vinegar.
2. You can also use a “magic-eraser” type scrubber and rub the Heating Plate in a circular motion with warm water.
   NOTE: If the unit is not cleaned with white vinegar regularly, minerals naturally occurring in water will build up, causing discoloration of eggshells. However, this does not affect the taste of the eggs.
