Boiled Eggs

Step 1

Clean your Cuisinart Egg Cooker prior to use. Wash the top, the poaching tray and cooking rack using hot water and liquid dish detergent. Rinse completely with clean running water. If you prefer, you can put these pieces into the dish washer, on the top rack only. Do not wash or submerge the base of the cooker or you will damage it and risk electrocution. If you want to clean this part, use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of it. Completely dry all parts before reassembling.

Step 2

Wash the eggs you intend to cook under cool running water. This removes any debris or bacteria on the outside of the shells. Do not use hot water or you will begin to cook the eggs.

Step 3

Locate the cooking consistency and egg count on the measuring beaker that came with the unit. The beaker will have a line that will show you where to fill it with water according to how many eggs you are cooking and what consistency you want, including hard boiled, medium or soft boiled. Fill the measuring beaker to the line that matches your specifications with cold water.
