Using the Electric Egg Cooker

To Make Boiled Eggs

STEP 1: Check that the egg cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply and place it onto a clean, dry, stable surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user.

STEP 2: Remove the lid and take out the removable egg tray and egg poachers from the egg cooker.

STEP 3: Determine the desired consistency of the eggs to be cooked (soft. medium or hard boiled). The measuring cup has a water level for each consistency of egg; fill it to the appropriate dot with cold water. The numbered dots on the measuring cup correspond with the number of eggs: for example, for 4 soft boiled eggs, fill the measuring cup with water up to the ‘4-5 SOFT’ fill mark.

STEP 4: Pour the cold water onto the heating plate and then place the removable egg troy on top.

STEP 5: Prepare the number of eggs to be cooked (up to 6 eggs at once). Use the egg piercer to create a small hole in the larger end of each egg and then place them securely into the holes in the removable egg tray. This will prevent the eggs from breaking during the cooking process.

STEP 6: Place the lid back onto the egg cooker.

STEP 7: Plug in and switch on the egg cooker at the mains power supply.

STEP 8: Press the power button on the front of the egg cooker main body: the indicator light will illuminate and the cooking process will begin.

STEP 9: Once the water has completely evaporated and the eggs are cooked. the indicator light and egg cooker will automatically switch off.

STEP 10: Remove the lid with caution as steam will be emitted from the egg cooker. Carefully remove the eggs; they will have become hot during the cooking process.

Caution: Do not touch the lid during the cooking process, as it will become extremely hot.

Cooking Times for Boiled Eggs

Cooking times will vary depending upon the desired result. For best results use distilled water, as tap water contains minerals which con cause discoloration of the eggs.
