West Bend 86628 - Egg Cooker Owner's Manual

TO SOFT-COOK EGGS:
1. Place the egg cooker on a dry, level surface. Use the soft cooked water level

markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the

number of eggs being cooked. Example: If soft cooking 7 eggs, fill the

measuring cup to the 7 mark.

2. With the switch set to “OFF”, pour the recommended amount of cold water into

the egg cooker base. The recommended amount of water will provide eggs with

soft yolks and cooked egg whites.

3. Place the cooking rack onto the base. Pierce the large end of each egg with the

pin that is attached to the bottom of the measuring cup. This will help prevent

the shell from cracking while the eggs are cooking. Place the eggs, pierced-end

up onto the cooking rack.

4. Place the cover onto the egg cooker base and plug appliance into a 120 volt, AC

electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow indicating the

cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover from the base

while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the eggs are

ready, after approximately 11 to 13 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF”. Unplug

the cord from the electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the

cover and cooking rack. Serve immediately to prevent overcooking. Eggs may

be rinsed briefly with cold water while in the cooking rack for easy handling.

5. Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water

from the base and before cleaning.

TO HARD-COOK EGGS:
1. Place the egg cooker on a dry, level surface. Use the hard cooked water level

markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the

number of eggs being cooked. Example: If hard cooking 7 eggs, fill the

measuring cup to the 7 mark on the hard cooked-side of the measuring cup.

2. With the switch set to “OFF”, pour the recommended amount of cold water into

the egg cooker base. Note: When cooking more eggs, less water is used.

3. Place the cooking rack onto the base. Pierce the large end of each egg with the

pin that is attached to the bottom of the measuring cup. This will help prevent

the shell from cracking while the eggs are cooking. Place the eggs, pierced-end

up onto the cooking rack.

4. Place the cover onto the egg cooker base. Plug the appliance into a 120 volt,

AC electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow indicating

the cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover from the base

while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the eggs are

ready, after approximately 13 to 17 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF.” Unplug

the cord from the electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the

cover and cooking rack. Eggs may be rinsed briefly with cold water while in the

cooking rack for easy handling. For easy peeling, crack the shell all over by

tapping on a hard surface. Hard-cooked eggs may be refrigerated for up to 4

weeks.

5. Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water

from the base and before cleaning.
