The MasterClass Egg Timer features a robust stainless steel frame encasing a glass hourglass filled with white sand. The base is felt-lined to ensure stability and protect your kitchen surfaces.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the egg timer from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.

2. Placement: Place the timer on a stable, flat, and level surface in your kitchen. The felt-lined base will help prevent slipping.

Operating Instructions

Using your MasterClass 3-Minute Hourglass Egg Timer is straightforward:

1. Initiate Timing: To begin timing, simply invert the hourglass so that the sand is in the upper chamber.

2. Observe: The white sand will immediately begin to flow from the top chamber through the narrow constriction into the bottom chamber.

3. Completion: Once all the sand has flowed from the top chamber to the bottom chamber, exactly three minutes have elapsed. This indicates the ideal cooking time for a soft-boiled egg.

Tip: For consistent results, ensure the timer is placed on a flat, level surface during operation.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MasterClass Egg Timer, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: The timer is wipe-clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the stainless steel frame and glass chambers. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surfaces.

• Avoid Immersion: Do not immerse the timer in water or place it in a dishwasher. Water can damage the internal components and affect the sand flow.

• Storage: Store the timer in a dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

While the MasterClass Egg Timer is a simple and reliable device, here are some common inquiries and their solutions:

• Sand Flow is Uneven or Stops:

  • Ensure the timer is placed on a completely level surface. Any tilt can affect the sand flow.
  • Gently tap the timer to dislodge any compacted sand, if applicable.

• Timer Appears Inaccurate:

  • Verify the timer's accuracy by comparing it with a digital stopwatch. Slight variations (a few seconds) are normal for sand timers.
  • If the timer is consistently and significantly off, ensure it has not been damaged.
