HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC EGG COOKER
For hard, medium, and soft-cooked eggs:
- Place the egg cooker on a clean, dry surface.
- Remove the lid and the cooking rack.
- Determine the consistency of cooked eggs preferred (Hard, Medium, or Soft). Using the measuring cup, 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 discoloration of the eggs.
- Pour cold water into the heating plate.
- Place the cooking rack on top of the base.

- Place the lid on top of the unit and plug it into the wall outlet. Press the power button to start the cooking process. The indicator light will be lit.
- 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 the Approximate Cooking Time chart, page 6.
- When cooking is complete, a continuous buzzing sound will indicate eggs are ready. Press the power button to turn off the buzzer and indicator light.
- Unplug the cord from the outlet.
- Remove eggs immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Run cold water over eggs.
- Eggs are now ready to serve. To remove possible mineral buildup on the heating plate, moisten a paper towel with one tablespoon of white vinegar and wipe the heating plate clean.
Cooking times will vary slightly depending on the 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 the cooker following the cooking cycle.

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.)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Recipes
DEVILED EGGS
Perfectly cooked eggs from the Chefman Egg Cooker make our version of this American picnic classic simple to prepare. Makes 12 deviled egg halves:
- 6 hard-cooked eggs, completely cooled
- 3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 3-5 drops hot sauce
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 about¼ 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 the filling and place it in a sealed food storage bag. Place egg whites in a separate storage container. Chill both in a 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:
- 6 hard-cooked eggs, completely cooled
- ½ stalk celery, about 4 inches, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper
- Remove shells from eggs and discard. Cut eggs in quarters and reserve.
- Place the celery in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop finely, about 15 times; scrape the work bowl.

User Maintenance
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 the heating plate with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon of 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 the unit is not cleaned with white vinegar (see above) regularly, 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 the main body housing with a damp cloth. DO NOT immerse in water.
- Place a clean cooking tray, poaching tray, beaker, and egg holders inside the egg cooker for storage.
