• To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs
out of the shell, break the shell through
the centre of the egg with a knife. Use a
teaspoon to scoop the egg out of each
half onto a serving dish or piece
of toast.
• To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs in
a cup, place the egg in a cup, small end
down. Slice off the large end, about one
inch from the top, using a knife or egg
scissors. Eat from the shell with a
teaspoon or serve with toast strips to
dip in the soft yolk.
OPERATION
1. FOR HARD, MEDIUM AND
SOFT COOKED EGGS:
1. Place egg cooker on a clean,
dry surface.
2. Remove lid and cooking rack.
3. Determine the consistency of cooked
eggs preferred (Hard, Medium or
Soft). Using the measuring beaker,
locate the consistency and number
of eggs to be cooked. Fill to the
appropriate line with cold water.
For best results, use distilled water,
since tap water has minerals that
can cause discolouration of the eggs.
4. Pour cold water into heating plate.
5. Place cooking rack on top
of base.
6. Rinse the number of eggs desired –
cook up to 7 eggs at one time.
7. Using the piercing pin located under
the beaker, pierce the large end of
each egg and place in cooking tray.
Rinse pin after use.
8. Place lid on top of unit and slide
power switch to the “On” position.
Indicator light will be lit.
9. When liquid is completely evaporated,
the eggs will be cooked to the desired
consistency. Cooking time will vary
depending on the number of eggs and
consistency. See Approximate
Cooking Time Chart, page 5.
10. When cooking is complete,
a continuous audible tone will sound
and indicator light will turn off.
11. Slide power switch to the “Off”
position. NOTE: Once the unit cools
off, it will automatically turn on again if
the switch is not in the “Off “ position.
12. Remove eggs immediately to
prevent overcooking.
13. Run cold water over eggs.
14. Eggs are now ready to serve.
For Additional Eggs:
1. To remove possible mineral
buildup, moisten a paper towel with
one tablespoon white
vinegar and wipe the heating plate
clean.
2. Repeat steps 1-14.
* Cooking times will vary slightly
depending on number and size of eggs,
temperature of eggs prior to cooking,
temperature and amount of water used,
altitude and length of time eggs remain
in cooker following cooking cycle.
