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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

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.
