Instructions

You may cook one to eight eggs in the shell or poach one to four
eggs in your Egg Cooker. The degree of doneness depends upon
the amount of water used and may be affected by the size and
temperature of the eggs, the altitude, and the number of eggs being
cooked. If, after the first time you use your Egg Cooker, the eggs
are not done to your personal taste, use a little less water for softer
eggs, and a little more water for harder eggs.

Three water levels are located in the base of the Egg Cooker for
soft-cooked, medium-cooked or poached eggs, and
cooked eggs.

How To Use Your Egg Cooker

Fill Egg Cooker base to correct water level, pouring from a small
pitcher or measuring cup. DO NOT HOLD UNDER TAP TO FILL.

For soft-cooked eggs fill to first step in “well” (about 2 tablespoons

or 30 ml). For medium-cooked or poached eggs, fill to second step

in “well” (about 3 tablespoons or 45 ml). For hard-cooked eggs, fill
to line for Hard-Cooked Eggs. (About 7 tablespoons or 105 ml).
These recommended levels are based on 8 eggs. More water may
be required for fewer than 8 eggs.

For

Soft

or Hard-Cooked Eggs

Fill base to proper water level. Place egg rack inside the base.
Pierce the large end of egg by pressing firmly on the needle located

in the center of the egg rack. Set seven eggs in position on rack,
large end down. The eighth egg rests in the center of rack. Place
cover on base and push control button. The button will glow. This

indicates that Egg Cooker is working. The Egg Cooker shuts off
automatically and the eggs are ready to serve when a click is heard
and the light goes off. Remove eggs immediately to prevent the

heat of Egg Cooker from continuing to cook eggs.
