Operating Instructions
Making an Omelet
- Prepare Ingredients: Whisk 2-3 eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk (optional) and seasonings to your preference. Prepare any desired fillings such as chopped vegetables, cheese, or cooked meats.
- Add Fillings: Place your desired fillings into one half of the open omelet cooker.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour half of the whisked egg mixture over the fillings in one side of the cooker.
- First Cook: Close the omelet cooker and place it in the microwave. Cook for approximately 60 seconds at 800W. Adjust time based on your microwave's wattage and desired doneness.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully remove the cooker from the microwave. Open it, then gently fold the cooked half over the uncooked half. Close the cooker again and return to the microwave for an additional 60 seconds, or until the omelet is fully cooked.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cooked omelet from the cooker using a spatula and serve immediately.
Making Egg Bites (using the Egg Poacher Insert)
The egg poacher insert can be used to create convenient egg bites. For best results, pre-cook any solid ingredients like vegetables or meats before adding them to the molds.
- Insert Poacher: Place the egg poacher insert into the main omelet cooker.
- Add Fillings: Distribute pre-cooked fillings (e.g., broccoli, mushrooms, turkey bacon) into the two circular molds of the insert.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour egg whites or whisked whole eggs into each mold, covering the fillings. Do not fill completely to the top, as eggs will expand during cooking. Leave a small gap to prevent overflow.
- Cook: Close the omelet cooker and place it in the microwave. Cook for approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds (based on a typical microwave). Cooking times may vary significantly depending on your microwave's wattage and the amount of ingredients.
- Check Doneness: Carefully remove the cooker from the microwave. Use a fork to gently check if the egg bites are cooked through. If not, return to the microwave for additional 15-30 second intervals until done.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cooked egg bites from the molds and serve.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Dishwasher Safe: The EMSON Omelet Wave Cooker is dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack for best results.
- Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm water and mild dish soap. A soft sponge or cloth is recommended to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Rinse thoroughly and air dry or towel dry.
