Getting Acquainted

Before first use, become familiar with the egg cooker parts (Fig. A) and read the instructions carefully.
Turn the egg cooker base over and uncoil the cord.

Egg Cooker Tips

Always wash hands, surfaces, and utensils that have come in contact with raw eggs.
Before and after cooking, store eggs on the lower shelf in your refrigerator at a temperature at or below 40°F.
Check eggs for cracks before cooking. If eggs have superficial cracks, they are best used for poaching or in baking rather than hard-, medium-, or soft-cooking. Cracks in eggs may allow some of the contents to leak out during cooking.
Piercing eggs before cooking should be avoided. Bacteria can enter the egg if the piercer or needle is not sterile. Additionally, piercing causes superficial cracks in the shell through which bacteria can enter after cooking.
The eggs are cooked by steam, and it is the amount of water used that determines the cooking time. It may be necessary to adjust the cooking time to achieve the degree of doneness you prefer. Use additional water to increase the cooking time and the doneness of the eggs; use less water to reduce the cooking time.
If cooking less than 12 eggs, position the eggs in any of the larger openings. There is no need to arrange the eggs in a particular order.
Eggs that are older are easier to peel than those that are fresh. As the egg ages, the air cell between the egg and the shell membrane increases in size and helps separate the egg from the shell.
For easier peeling, crack the shell all over by gently tapping the egg on the countertop and then roll it between your hands to loosen the shell. Peel off the shell starting at the large end. Hold the egg under running water or dip it in water to make peeling easier.
If not consumed immediately, cooked eggs should be refrigerated within two hours after cooking and used within one week.

How to Use

Place the egg cooker base on a dry, level surface. To avoid steam damage to cabinets, position the unit so it is not directly under cabinets.
CAUTION! It is normal for steam to escape from the cover during cooking. To prevent steam burns, keep well away from the vents.

How to Make Hard-, Medium-, and Soft-Cooked Eggs

Determine the number of eggs you want and how you want them prepared. Using the markings on the measuring cup, fill the cup with the appropriate amount of water (based on the number of eggs you are cooking). Pour the water into the reservoir.
Place the cooking tray on the egg cooker base.
Position up to 12 cold medium or large eggs upright in the larger openings in the cooking tray (Fig. B). If using extra-large or jumbo eggs, lay up to 12 eggs on their sides in these openings.

CAUTION! For food safety, do not use room-temperature eggs. Always keep eggs in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.
Place the cover over the eggs. Make sure the cover rests on the cooking tray. If it does not, angle the eggs slightly in the openings so the tops of the eggs do not come in contact with the cover. Lift the two base latches and snap them onto the cover edge.
Plug in the unit and the signal light will come on. There is no need to set a timer as the egg cooker will shut off automatically when cooking is complete. The cooking time is determined by the amount of water in the reservoir and the number of eggs in the unit. See the cooking guide on page 4 for approximate cooking times.
When the cooking time is up, the signal light will go out and you will hear a buzzing sound. Unplug the unit.
Being careful to keep hands away from the vents, unlatch the cover from the base and remove the cover. Grasp the handles on the short ends of the cooking tray (Fig. A) and carefully lift it off the egg cooker base.
Place the tray of eggs in a pan of cold water and cool eggs for 10 minutes. This will prevent the eggs from continuing to cook. If consuming the eggs right away, cool the eggs just until they are comfortable to peel.
To store, leave cooked eggs in the tray, place cover on tray, and refrigerate.

How to Make Poached Eggs

Fill the measuring cup with the appropriate amount of water, as marked on the measuring cup, and pour into the water reservoir.
Place the cooking tray on the egg cooker base.
Apply a thin coating of vegetable oil or no-stick cooking spray to the poaching tray(s). Add 1 or 2 cracked, cold eggs to the poaching tray(s).
Set the poaching tray(s) on top of the cooking tray (Fig. C). Place the cover over the poaching tray(s). Lift the two base latches and snap them onto the cover edge. Then plug in unit.
When cooking time is up, the signal light will go out and you will hear a buzzing sound. Unplug the unit.
Being careful to keep hands away from the vents, unlatch the cover from the base and remove the cover. Grasp the handles on the short ends of the cooking tray (Fig. A), carefully lift it off the egg cooker base, and set it on the counter.
Lift the poaching tray(s) off of the cooking tray. Tilt the tray(s) slightly and pour off any condensation on top of the eggs. Flip the egg(s) onto a plate for serving. If necessary, run a knife around the edge of the poached egg to loosen it from the tray.

Setup Guide

Setting up the Presto 04633 Electric Egg Cooker is easy.

Simply plugin the appliance, fill the measuring cup with water, and add the water to the cooking plate. Place the eggs in the egg holder, and close the lid.
Select your desired cooking option and let the appliance do the rest. When the eggs are cooked to your liking, the automatic shut-off feature will turn off the appliance.
To clean, simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and clean the cooking plate and egg holder with soap and water.

Care, Cleaning, and Storage

Always unplug and allow egg cooker to cool before cleaning.
Wash the cooking tray, poaching trays, measuring cup, and cover in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The cooking tray and poaching trays are dishwasher safe (top rack); however, the measuring cup and cover should NOT be washed in the dishwasher.
When exposed to steam, some egg shells leave a residue on the surface of the water reservoir. To remove, wash the surface of the reservoir with a damp cloth. If necessary, gently scrub the surface with a nylon mesh pad, such as a Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub sponge. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners. When needed, wipe the egg cooker base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the egg cooker base in water or any other liquid.
Mineral content in water varies from place to place. In some areas, this Fig. D Tabs Slots may result in the formation of mineral deposits on the surface of the water reservoir. To remove the deposits, pour 1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar into the reservoir. Plug in the unit and heat for 10 minutes. Unplug and allow solution to cool. Pour out solution. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth, then dry.
For storage, turn the base over and wrap the cord counterclockwise under the four tabs on the bottom of the base (Fig. D). Then insert the plug prongs into t e slots to secure the cord. Wrap cord counterclockwise
Turn the base right side up and stack the parts onto the base as follows: poaching trays, cooking tray, measuring cup, and cover. Secure the cover to the base with the latches.
