• Chill and refrigerate hard cooked eggs immediately after removing from the
Egg Cooker. For best results, plunge cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water - this
will stop the cooking process and prevent a dark ring from developing around
the yolk.
• Is the egg hard cooked or raw? Can’t recall which ones you have cooked? Play
spin the egg. A cooked egg will spin, a raw egg will wobble.
• Fresher eggs (less than a week old) are harder to peel than those a little older.
• To peel hard cooked eggs easily, roll gently on the counter, using the palm of
your hand to crack. Dip in a bowl of cold water and begin peeling from the larger
end.
• Hard cooked eggs in the shell will keep for up to one week properly
refrigerated. Hard cooked eggs out of the shell should be used immediately.
• Hard cooked eggs that have been colored and displayed decoratively should not
be consumed - enjoy their colorful display and discard. Cook extra eggs for eating
and consider the discarded eggs an inexpensive way to decorate.
• Hard cooked eggs make a colorful, flavorful and nutritious garnish. They can be
sliced, wedged, finely chopped or pressed through a fine sieve to make a
powder-like garnish.
• To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs out of the shell, break the shell through
the center of the egg with a knife. Use a teaspoon to scoop the egg out of each half
onto a serving dish or piece of toast.
• To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs in a cup, place the egg in a cup, small end
down. Slice off the large end, about one inch from the top, using a knife or egg
scissors. Eat from the shell with a teaspoon or serve with toast strips to dip in the
soft yolk.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning Your Electric Egg Cooker
Always unplug your Chefman Egg Cooker from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Wash lid, cooking and poaching trays in hot, soapy water or in the top
shelf of a dishwasher.
Clean heating plate with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon
white vinegar. This removes any mineral deposits left behind from the
water and also works as an antibacterial agent. You may wipe the heating
plate using water and a damp cloth if desired.
NOTE: If unit is not cleaned with white vinegar (see above) on a regular
basis, minerals naturally occurring in water will build up and cause
discoloration of eggshells. However, discoloration of the eggshells does
not affect the taste of the eggs.
