You can poach up to 4 eggs or hard-cook or soft-cook up to 7 eggs in your egg cooker. Cooking times
will vary depending on size of egg. To get the best results use the measuring cup included with the egg
cooker. The measuring cup included with the egg cooker has water level markings for 1 to 7 hard cooked
and soft cooked eggs. These amounts are approximate and can be varied to suit individual preferences.
Use less water for softer cooked eggs and more water for harder cooked eggs.
TO POACH EGGS
1. Place egg cooker base on dry, level surface. Use soft cooked water level markings on the measuring
cup to determine amount of water for number of eggs being cooked. For 1 poached egg use water to
the 7 level mark; for 4 poached eggs use water to the 5 level mark.
Note: As a general guideline when poaching eggs the more eggs the more water.
2. With switch set at OFF, pour recommended amount of cold water into egg cooker base. Place cooking
rack into base.
3. Lightly butter or oil poaching cups to be used. Place poaching pan on top of cooking rack in egg
cooker base. ALWAYS PLACE POACHING PAN ON COOKING RACK. Be sure to position
poaching pan onto cooking rack so that it sits level. Break one egg into each cup.
4. Cover egg cooker. Plug unit into 120 volt AC electric outlet. Turn switch ON. “ON” light will glow,
indicating eggs are cooking. Do not remove cover from base while eggs are cooking. An audible
alert will sound when eggs are ready, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Turn switch OFF. Unplug
cord from electrical outlet. Use hot pads to remove cover and poaching pan. Serve immediately to
prevent overcooking. Slide eggs out of cups with a smooth-edged cook tool.
5. Allow egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water from the base and before
cleaning.
TO SOFT-COOK EGGS
1. Place egg cooker on dry, level surface. Use soft cooked water level markings on the measuring cup to
determine amount of water for the number of eggs being cooked. For example if soft cooking 7 eggs,
fill measuring cup to the 7 level mark on soft cooked side of measuring cup. With switch set at OFF,
pour recommended amount of cold into egg cooker base. The recommended amount of water will
provide eggs with soft yolks and cooked egg whites.
Note: As a general guideline when cooking more eggs less water is used.
2. Place cooking rack in base. Pierce large end of each egg with pin attached to bottom of measuring
cup. This will help prevent shell from cracking while eggs are cooking. Place eggs, pierced-end up,
in rack.
3. Cover egg cooker. Plug unit into a 120 volt AC electric outlet. Turn switch ON. “ON” light will
glow, indicating eggs are cooking. Do not remove cover from base while eggs are cooking. An
audible alert will sound when eggs are ready, approximately 1 to 13 minutes. Turn switch OFF.
Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Use hot pads to remove cover and cooking rack. Serve
immediately to prevent overcooking. Eggs may be rinsed briefly with cold water while in rack for
easy handling.
4. Allow egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water from the base and before
cleaning.
TO HARD-COOK EGGS
1. Place egg cooker on dry, level surface. Use hard cooked water level markings on the measuring cup to
determine amount of water for the number of eggs being cooked. For example if hard cooking 7 eggs,
fill measuring cup to the 7 level mark on hard cooked side of measuring cup. With switch set at OFF,
