• Hard cooked eggs make a colourful,
flavourful 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 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 tray.
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 tray 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 consisten-
cy. Cooking time will vary depend-
ing on the number of eggs and
consistency. See Approximate
Cooking Time Chart, page 5.
10. Five audible tones signal when
cooking is complete and indicator
light will turn off.
11. Slide power switch to the “Off”
position. NOTE: The unit has
an auto-shutoff feature. However,
if the switch is not in the “Off “
position, once the unit cools off it
will automatically turn on again.
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 (15 ml)
white vinegar and wipe the
heating plate clean.
2. Repeat steps 1-14.
