Setup and First Use

1. Before first use, wash all removable parts (egg tray, poaching tray, omelet tray, clear lid, and measuring cup) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The main unit (base) should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
2. Place the Egg Cooker Base on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
3. Using the measuring cup, add the appropriate amount of water to the heating plate in the base according to your desired egg consistency (soft, medium, or hard-boiled).
4. If boiling eggs, use the piercing pin on the bottom of the measuring cup to gently pierce the large end of each egg. This helps prevent cracking during cooking.
