How to boil an egg in an Egg Boiler

 

 

This egg boiler machine will cook standard to large hens’ eggs. Start by filling the egg boiler with the amount of water you need. The measuring cup will show you how much you need to add depending on how many eggs you are cooking and whether you want them soft boiled, hard boiled or medium boiled. You actually need more water for one egg than for 7, which can seem illogical, but its all to do with space. The more eggs you put in the less space you need to fill with steam, so the less water you need to add to create that steam. Use cold or tepid water from the tap rather than hot water in the machine.

Next, make a small hole in one end of the egg with the piercer on the bottom of the measuring cup. Place the egg in the boiler with the hole facing up. This is really important as it prevents the contents of the egg seeping out and burning onto the hot plate.

Place the lid on the boiler and turn it on. Remember to keep your fingers away from the hole at the top of the lid as the steam can scald you. Once all the water has boiled away the buzzer will sound to let you know to turn off the machine - there’s no need for a timer! Let any remaining steam clear then take out your eggs ready to peel for a salad or to dip your toast soldiers into.

 

 

Designed for Easy, Safe Use

 

 

Your egg boiler includes everything you need to cook delicious eggs and steamed vegetables. The lid is completely detachable for easy cleaning and the other parts can be washed using a soft cloth and warm soapy water.

We’ve included a handle on the side to make it easy to remove the BPA-free lid and the egg piercer is built into the base of the measuring cup to keep it safe.

 

 

7-Egg Capacity

 

 

Cook up to 7 large hens’ eggs at once! Just add the right amount of water so they are soft, medium or hard boiled to perfection. We’ve also included a poaching attachment so you can poach up to 4 medium eggs.

You can use this machine to cook other eggs, just adjust the amount of water added to suit the size and volume of the eggs.

 

 

4 Poached Eggs or Steamed Vegetables

 

 

You can also use this egg boiler to steam foods such as beans, baby corn, asparagus and other veg. It could also take small portions of meat and fish like salmon.

Use the measuring cup to add the water. Once the water has boiled off either turn off the machine or add more water until your food has cooked the way you want it.

 

 

Hints and Tips

 

 

General

 

 

For the best results, use room temperature eggs

Brown residue can be left on the hot plate after the water has evaporated - this is normal and can be washed off with a damp cloth.

Always place the steamer tray and poacher tray on top of the egg tray. Never place the steamer or poacher tray directly onto the stainless steel hot plate.

 

 

Boiling

 

 

Make sure the egg shells are pierced with the piercing pin before boiling the eggs. This will prevent the shells cracking during the cooking process.

For fast peeling, start peeling from the end of the egg, not the side.

 

 

Poaching & Steaming

 

 

For best results with the poacher tray, use small-medium eggs.

To ensure your eggs don’t stick, wipe a little oil around the poaching compartments.

Use small to medium eggs for poaching to prevent them running over the sides of the container.

It is advised to crack the eggs into the poacher first then place onto the egg tray on the steamer, this helps avoid any spillages onto the hot plate.
