PARTS & FEATURES

USING YOUR Rapid EGG COOKER

SOFT, MEDIUM, AND HARD-BOILED EGGS:

The times listed below are guidelines so that you will know how long it will take to cook your eggs. The thermostat in the Rapid Egg Cooker will shut off automatically when the eggs are done – no additional timer is necessary. The following time guidelines are for medium to large eggs. Extra large or jumbo eggs may require additional time/water in the appliance to achieve the desired results.

If you like medium eggs firm: let the eggs sit covered in the Rapid Egg Cooker for a few extra minutes before removing them.

If you like completely hard-boiled eggs: let the eggs sit for an extra minute in the Rapid Egg Cooker after the buzzer sounds.

TIP: If you live at a higher altitude, add up to 25% more water to your Egg Cooker to ensure the best results!

Timer Auto-Off

This Rapid Egg Cooker is equipped with a precision thermal sensor and will turn off automatically when the water has fully evaporated from the Heating Plate and when the buzzer sounds.

ATTENTION: Do not unplug the unit while cooking. If you unplug the unit while cooking, it will still be turned on when you plug it back in. If the unit does not detect water on the Heating Plate, it will automatically shut off and reset itself in a few seconds.

BOILING EGGS

1. Make sure the Rapid Egg Cooker is unplugged before starting. Pierce the larger end of each egg with the attached Pin at the bottom of the Measuring Cup (photo A).
2. Use the Measuring Cup to pour the appropriate corresponding amount of cold water into the Heating Plate (photo B).
3. Attach the Boiling Tray Handle to the Boiling Tray (photo C), and place the Boiling Tray on the Heating Plate. Place an egg in each designated spot in the Boiling Tray. Make sure that the holes in the larger end of the eggs are pointed upwards.
4. Cover with the Lid and plug in the Rapid Egg Cooker. Press the Power Button to start cooking (photo D). The Indicator Light will turn on.
5. When the eggs are finished cooking (photo E), a buzzer will sound. Press the power switch to silence the buzzer. Actual cooking time will depend on number of eggs and desired style. Uncover Lid by using the Lid Handle and remove eggs with heat-resistant tongs. Do not touch the parts with bare hands as they will be hot!
6. Press the Power Button to silence the buzzer and remove your eggs (photo F). Be careful when handling eggs. They will be hot!

WARNING: Do not lock the Lid when using your Rapid Egg Cooker as this may cause injury when removing the Lid once the buzzer sounds.

Soak the eggs in ice water or run them under cold water immediately after removing them from the Rapid Egg Cooker to stop the cooking process, and to make peeling easier.

POACHING EGGS

1. Fill the Measuring Cup with cold water until it reaches the “Omelette/Poached” marking. Pour the water into the Heating Plate. Place the Boiling Tray on top of the Heating Plate.
2. Use cooking spray to lightly grease the Poaching Tray. Always place the Omelette Bowl or Poaching Tray on top of the Boiling Tray and never directly on the Heating Plate.
3. Break an egg into each section of the Poaching Tray. Cover with the Lid and plug in the Rapid Egg Cooker. Press the Power Button. When the buzzer sounds, your eggs will be ready to eat.

USING THE OMELLETE BOWL

1. Fill the Measuring Cup with cold water to the Poached / Omelette Line. Pour cold water onto the Heating Plate.
2. Use cooking spray to lightly grease the Omelette Bowl. Always place the Omelette Bowl on top of the Boiling Tray and never directly on the Heating Plate. Pour your eggs into the Omelette Bowl.
3. Cover with the Lid and plug in the Rapid Egg Cooker. Press the Power Button. When the buzzer sounds, your eggs will be ready to eat. It is normal for the eggs to expand while cooking. They will contract once the Lid has been opened. Remove your omelette with a spatula.

For a drier omelette, leave the eggs in the Rapid Egg Cooker for an extra two minutes.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Heating Plate:

1. Before cleaning or moving the appliance, make sure to unplug the Rapid Egg Cooker.
2. Wash the Rapid Egg Cooker Accessories and Lid with warm, soapy water.
3. Wipe down the Body and Heating Plate with a wet cloth.
4. Dry all parts thoroughly. When storing, place the accessories on the Heating Plate, cover with the Lid, and turn clockwise until the tabs on the Lid slide completely underneath the handles on the base of the Rapid Egg Cooker.

Cleaning the Heating Plate:

Your Rapid Egg Cooker will not rust. Over time, the Rapid Egg Cooker may begin to develop some mineral deposits on the Heating Plate. While this may look like rust, it is merely the residue of natural minerals present in your water.

1. Two different ways to clean the Heating Plate: Clean the Heating Plate with a mild solution of water and vinegar (10 parts water: 1 part vinegar) from time to time.
2. Gently scrub the Heating Plate in a circular motion with a “magic eraser”-type sponge and a little warm water.

CAUTION: During and after use the appliance will be hot. Do not attempt to clean your Egg Cooker until the appliance has cooled. Do not submerge the Body in water or other liquids. The Body of the appliance is NOT dishwasher safe.
