TO HARD-COOK EGGS:
1. Place the egg cooker on a dry, level surface. Use the hard cooked water level
markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the
number of eggs being cooked. Example: If hard cooking 7 eggs, fill the
measuring cup to the 7 mark on the hard cooked-side of the measuring cup.
2. With the switch set to “OFF,” pour the recommended amount of cold water into
the egg cooker base. Note: When cooking more eggs, less water is used.
3. Place the cooking rack onto the egg cooker base. Place the eggs in the cooking
rack.
4. Place the cover onto the egg cooker base. Plug the appliance into a 120 volt,
AC electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow indicating
the cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover from the base
while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the eggs are
ready, after approximately 15 to 19 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF.” Unplug
the cord from the electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the
cover and cooking rack. Eggs may be rinsed briefly with cold water while still in
the cooking rack for easy handling. For easy peeling, crack the shell all over by
tapping on a hard surface. Hard-cooked eggs may be refrigerated for up to 4
weeks.
5. Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water
from the egg cooker base and before cleaning.
A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release
of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling
– this is normal.
CLEANING YOUR EGG COOKER
To ensure optimal performance clean your egg cooker after each use. Wash the
cover, poaching pan, cooking rack, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly. The cover, poaching pan and cooking rack may be cleaned in
an automatic dishwasher, top rack only, however the underside of the poaching pan
will discolor which is normal and does not affect its use in cooking eggs. DO NOT
CLEAN THE MEASURING CUP IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER, AS DAMAGE
WILL OCCUR.
Wipe the egg cooker base with a damp cloth and dry.
Place the cooking rack, poaching pan, measuring cup, and cord inside the egg
cooker for compact storage.
