SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:

2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
Please return it to an authorized service representative.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to

properly grounded outlets only.

IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a
slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance
has been used a few more times.

HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS

• When purchasing eggs, choose only those eggs that are stored in a refrigerator

case. Refrigerate eggs until ready to use. (For baking, eggs may be placed
in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes to bring them safely to "room
temperature" for best baking results.)

• Eggs should be stored in the carton in which they were purchased to keep them

from drying out and absorbing refrigerator odors. The eggs should be in the
carton large end up - this will help them stay fresh longer and will keep the yolks
centered.

Operating Instructions (cont'd) Recipes

DEVILED EGGS

• Don’t know if your eggs are fresh? Place them in a bowl of salted cool water. If
they sink, they are fresh – if they float, they are not.

• To prevent the development of bacteria in cooked egg dishes, eggs should not
be left at room temperature longer than 2 hours (count preparation as well as
serving time.)

• Chill and refrigerate hard cooked eggs immediately after removing from the
Egg Cooker. For best results, plunge cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water - this
will stop the cooking process and prevent a dark ring from developing around
the yolk.

Perfectly cooked eggs from the Chefman Egg Cooker make our version of this
American picnic classic simple to prepare.

Makes 14 deviled egg halves:
7 hard cooked eggs, completely cooled
3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
⅛ teaspoon Kosher salt
3-5 drops hot sauce

• Is the egg hard cooked or raw? Can’t recall which ones you have cooked? Play
spin the egg. A cooked egg will spin, a raw egg will wobble.

• Fresher eggs (less than a week old) are harder to peel than those a little older.

• To peel hard cooked eggs easily, roll gently on the counter, using the palm of
your hand to crack. Dip in a bowl of cold water and begin peeling from the
larger end.

• Hard cooked eggs in the shell will keep for up to one week properly refrigerated.
Hard cooked eggs out of the shell should be used immediately.

• Hard cooked eggs that have been colored and displayed decoratively should
not be consumed - enjoy their colorful display and discard. Cook extra eggs for
eating and consider the discarded eggs an inexpensive way to decorate.

• Hard cooked eggs make a colorful, flavorful and nutritious garnish. They can
be sliced, wedged, finely chopped or pressed through a fine sieve to make a
powder-like garnish.

• To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs out of the shell, break the shell through
the center 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.

1. Remove shells from eggs and discard. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Wipe
the knife with a paper towel after slicing each egg, to prevent the yolk from
showing on the white. Remove yolks and arrange whites on a plate.

2. Place the egg yolks in the work bowl of a mini prep processor and pulse to break
up, 5 times. Scrape the work bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and hot
sauce to taste. Process for 10 seconds on grind; scrape the work bowl. Process
10 seconds on chop; scrape the work bowl.

3. Spoon the deviled yolk mixture into the reserved egg white halves. Or place the
deviled yolk mixture in a 1-quart freezer weight plastic bag. Cut about ¼ inch
off one corner of the bag. Use the bag to squeeze the yolk mixture into each
egg\white half. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle
with paprika or chopped fresh parsley or chives.

Serving Tips:

• If you don’t have a "deviled egg" plate, make a bed of alfalfa or radish sprouts on

a plate to steady eggs for serving.

• To transport and store deviled eggs safely for a picnic, make filling and place in

sealed food storage bag. Place egg whites in separate storage container. Chill
both in cooler with ice. When you are ready to serve eggs, pipe the chilled filling
into the chilled whites.

EGG SALAD

This basic egg salad is great for sandwiches. It can be "dressed up" by adding
chopped green onion or shallot, chopped pickles, chopped sun-dried tomatoes or
chopped fresh herbs.

Makes about 2 cups/4 servings:
7 hard cooked eggs, completely cooled

½ stalk celery, about 4 inches, cut in 1-inch pieces
¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise

2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper

1. Remove shells from eggs and discard. Cut eggs in quarters and reserve.

2. Place the celery in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop finely,
about 15 times; scrape the work bowl.

3. Add the quartered eggs to the work bowl; pulse 5 times to chop roughly. Add
mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.

4. Pulse until mayonnaise and mustard are completely mixed in and desired
texture is reached, 10 – 20 times.

CLEANING YOUR ELECTRIC EGG COOKER

• Always unplug your Chefman Egg Cooker from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.

• Wash lid, cooking and poaching trays in hot, soapy water or in the top
shelf of a dishwasher.

• Clean heating plate with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon
white vinegar. This removes any mineral deposits left behind from
the water and also works as an antibacterial agent. You may wipe the
heating plate using water and a damp cloth if desired.

• NOTE: If unit is not cleaned with white vinegar (see above) on a regular
basis, minerals naturally occurring in water will build up and cause
discoloration of eggshells. However, discoloration of the eggshells does
not affect the taste of the eggs.

• Wipe main body housing with a damp cloth. DO NOT immerse in water.

• Place clean cooking tray, poaching tray, beaker and egg holders inside
the egg cooker for storage.
