Cuisinart Egg Cooker Instructions

Eggs are easy to cook with the Cuisinart Egg Cooker.

While simple in concept, cooking the perfect egg is notoriously difficult, especially when it comes to boiled and poached eggs. It can be tricky to know the perfect amount of time to boil an egg to the desired consistency and poached eggs have the tendency to fall apart, even in experienced hands. The Cuisinart Egg Cooker takes away the stress of poaching eggs or cooking them in the shell. The controlled temperature and water levels ensure the perfect eggs every time.

Things You'll Need

• Distilled water
• Cooking spray

Instructions

Cooking Eggs

1. Fill the Cuisinart Egg Cooker's beaker with the recommended amount of distilled water, depending on how many eggs you want to cook and for how well-done you want them. The side of the beaker has fill lines on the side to use a reference.

2. Remove the lid and cooking rack from the egg cooker. Pour the distilled water on the heating plate and put the cooking rack back in place.

3. Rinse the eggs under cool running water to remove dirt. Poke a hole in the fat end of the eggs using the piercing pin on the underside of the beaker. This small hole will prevent cracking during the cooking process.

4. Place the eggs in the cooking rack, with the holes facing up. Put the lid on the egg cooker and flip the power switch to the "On" position.

5. Remove the eggs as soon as the egg cooker makes a tone that indicates the eggs are finished cooking. Place the eggs under cool running water for 30 seconds to cool them down and stop the cooking process.

Poached Eggs

1. Fill the Cuisinart Egg Cooker's beaker with the recommended amount of distilled water. The side of the beaker has guidelines for the necessary amount of water, depending on the amount of eggs to be poached.

2. Remove the lid and cooking tray from the egg cooker. Pour the water on the heating tray and put the cooking tray back in place. Place the poaching tray on top of the cooking tray.

3. Spray the poaching tray with a thin layer of cooking spray to create a non-stick surface. Break the eggs gently into the poaching tray.

4. Put the lid on the egg cooker and flip the power switch to the "On" position. The egg cooker will make a tone when the eggs are finished cooking.

5. Remove the eggs with a small spatula immediately after they're cooked.

Tips & Warnings

• Clean the lid, cooking tray and poaching tray in hot soapy water after each use. Wipe down the rest of the machine with a paper towel dampened with white vinegar.
