Components

Your Norpro 665 Omelet Pan with Egg Poacher includes the following components:

• Nonstick Omelet Pan (hinged design)
• Egg Poacher Insert
• Removable Egg Poacher Cups (typically 3)

Setup and First Use

Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the pan and its components.

Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wash the pan, egg poacher insert, and cups thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.

Assembly (Egg Poacher)

To use the egg poacher function, place the egg poacher insert into the main pan. Position the individual egg cups into the designated slots on the insert.

Operating Instructions

General Cooking Tips

Use low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the nonstick coating and cause food to stick.

Always add a small amount of cooking oil or butter to the nonstick surface before cooking to enhance food release and protect the coating.

Making Omelets

1. Prepare your omelet mixture (eggs, milk, seasonings, desired fillings).
2. Place the omelet pan on a stovetop burner over low to medium heat.
3. Add a small amount of cooking oil or butter to both halves of the pan.
4. Pour half of the omelet mixture into one side of the open pan.
5. Cook until the edges begin to set.
6. Add fillings to the cooked side if desired.
7. Carefully close the pan, allowing the uncooked side to cook and the omelet to fold.
8. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the omelet is fully cooked to your preference.
9. Open the pan and slide the omelet onto a plate.

Poaching Eggs

1. Place the egg poacher insert into the main pan.
2. Pour approximately 1/2 inch of water into the bottom of the pan, ensuring it does not overflow into the egg cups.
3. Place the individual egg cups into the insert. Lightly grease the inside of each cup with butter or cooking spray.
4. Crack one egg into each greased cup.
5. Cover the pan with a lid (not included, use a standard lid that fits).
6. Place the pan on a stovetop burner over medium-low heat.
7. Bring the water to a gentle simmer. Steam will cook the eggs.
8. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
9. Using the insulated handles on the egg cups, carefully lift each poached egg out of the pan.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

Hand washing is recommended for this product. Do not wash in a dishwasher, as this can damage the nonstick coating and pan finish.

Allow the pan to cool completely before washing.

Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh detergents.

Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

Storage

Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or paper towel between the pan surfaces to protect the nonstick coating.

Troubleshooting

Eggs Sticking to Poacher Cups

Ensure cups are lightly greased with butter or cooking spray before adding eggs. This is crucial for easy release.

Nonstick Coating Peeling or Damaged

Avoid using metal utensils. Only use plastic, silicone, or wooden tools.

Do not use high heat settings; cook on low to medium heat.

Always hand wash; avoid dishwashers and abrasive cleaners.

Uneven Cooking

Ensure the pan is placed evenly on the burner and that heat is distributed consistently.

Adjust heat settings as needed.
