PARTS & FEATURES

USING YOUR DELUXE 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 the eggs. The thermostat in the Deluxe Egg Cooker will shut off automatically, and a buzzer will sound when the eggs are done – no additional timer is necessary. The following time guidelines are for cold, large eggs. Extra-large or jumbo eggs may require additional water and time in the cooker to achieve desired results.

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

Omelettes & Poached Eggs:
For omelettes or poached eggs, fill the Measuring Cup with water to the designated Poached/Omelette Line. This line is applicable for 7 poached eggs or an omelette made with 2-3 eggs.

Mix and Match
With the Deluxe Egg Cooker, you can now mix and match your eggs. Please refer to the following guidelines for a few ideas.

BOILING EGGS

1. Make sure the Deluxe Egg Cooker is unplugged before starting. Pierce the larger end of each egg with the Pin attached to the bottom of the Measuring Cup.
2. Use the Measuring Cup to pour the appropriate amount of cold water onto the Heating Plate.
3. Place Large Boiling Tray on Body. Place 8 eggs in the designated spots in the tray. Make sure that the holes in the larger end of the eggs are pointed upwards. Do not let the eggs touch the Heating Plate.

   Note: When making less than a dozen eggs, you may use either the Large Boiling Tray or the Small Boiling Tray. If only using the Large Boiling Tray, the Lid can be placed right over the Base Ring without the Small Boiling Tray.

4. Place Base Ring over Large Boiling Tray.
5. Set Small Boiling Tray on top of Base Ring.
6. Place an egg in each of the designated openings in the Small Boiling Tray 50 so that the larger ends of the eggs are pointed upwards.
7. Cover with Lid and plug in Deluxe Egg Cooker. Press the power switch on the Body to start cooking.

    

8. When the eggs are finished cooking, a buzzer will sound. Press the power switch to silence the buzzer. Actual cooking time will depend on several eggs and the desired style. Uncover the 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!
   Tip: Soak eggs in ice water or run under cold water immediately after removing from the Deluxe Egg Cooker to stop the cooking process and to make peeling easier.

USING THE poaching trays

1. Fill the Measuring Cup with cold water to the Poached / Omelette Line. Pour cold water onto the Heating Plate
2. Place the Large Boiling Tray on the Body first, and then place the 4 Egg Poaching Trays on top. Spray Poaching Trays with a little cooking spray. Break an egg into each poaching section.

   Note: Make sure to always place Poaching Trays on top of the Boiling Trays and never directly on the Heating Plate.

3. Place Base Ring over Large Boiling Tray. Then, place the Small Boiling Tray over the Base Ring and set the 3 Egg Poaching Tray on top. Break an egg into each poaching section.

    

4. Cover with the Lid and plug in the Deluxe Egg Cooker. Press the power switch on the Body to start cooking. When the buzzer sounds, switch the Deluxe Egg Cooker off and remove eggs immediately to avoid overcooking. If you like firmer eggs, leave them in the Deluxe Egg Cooker for a few extra minutes. Use tongs or oven mitts when handling Poaching Trays as they will be hot!

USING THE omelette bowls

1. Fill the Measuring Cup with cold water to the Poached /Omelette Line. Pour cold water onto the Heating Plate.
2. Spray Omelette Bowl with a little cooking spray. Whisk eggs in a bowl! Before pouring into the Omelette Bowl. Place a Large Boiling Tray on the Body and place an Omelette Bowl on top.

   Note: Make sure to always place the Omelette Bowl on top of the Boiling Tray and never directly on the Heating Plate.

3. Place Base Ring on the Body and then cover with Lid. Plug in the Deluxe Egg Cooker and press the power switch to begin cooking. When the buzzer sounds, switch the Deluxe Egg Cooker off and open the Lid. 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.

   Note: To make mini omelettes, whisk each egg individually and cook in Poaching Trays (one egg per poaching section). We recommend using 4 oz. of water for 7 mini omelettes.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: DURING AND AFTER USE, THE DELUXE EGG COOKER IS HOT.

• Do not attempt to clean your Deluxe Egg Cooker until the appliance has cooled.
• Do not submerge the Body in water or other liquids.
• The Body of the Deluxe Egg Cooker is not dishwasher safe.

CLEANING THE HEATING PLATE:

• Your Deluxe Egg Cooker will not rust. Over time, the Deluxe 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.
• Below are two different ways to properly 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.
• Gently scrub the Heating Plate in a circular motion with a “magic eraser” type sponge and a little warm water.

EGGS BENEDICT

Ingredients

For Hollandaise Sauce

2. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 ½ tablespoons water. Add melted butter to the egg yolk mixture 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If the sauce begins to get too thick, stir in a little hot water.

Put a Large Boiling Tray on the Body and place the lightly greased 4 Egg Poaching Tray on top. Break an egg into each poaching section. Add the Base Ring and the Small Boiling Tray. Place the lightly greased 3 Egg Poaching Tray on top and break remaining eggs into each section.
