Operating Instructions
Rapid Egg Cooker (DEC005BK)
Always use the provided Measuring Cup to add the correct amount of water to the Heating Plate. The water level determines the cooking consistency.
Hard, Medium, or Soft Boiled Eggs
- Fill the Measuring Cup with cold water to the desired line (Hard, Medium, or Soft). Pour the water onto the Heating Plate.
- Using the egg piercer on the bottom of the Measuring Cup, carefully pierce the large end of each egg. This prevents cracking during cooking.
- Place the Egg Tray onto the Main Unit. Place up to 6 pierced eggs, large-end up, into the indentations on the Egg Tray.
- Cover with the Lid.
- Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Press the Power Button. The indicator light will illuminate.
- When the water has evaporated and the eggs are cooked, the indicator light will turn off and the appliance will automatically shut off.
- Carefully remove the Lid and Egg Tray using oven mitts. Immediately rinse eggs under cold water or place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent a green ring around the yolk.
The Rapid Egg Cooker can cook up to 6 eggs at once.
Poached Eggs or Omelets
- Fill the Measuring Cup with cold water to the "Poached" or "Omelet" line. Pour the water onto the Heating Plate.
- Lightly grease the Poaching Tray with cooking spray or butter.
- For Poached Eggs: Crack up to 2 eggs directly into the indentations of the Poaching Tray.
- For Omelets: Whisk up to 2 eggs with desired ingredients (cheese, vegetables, etc.) and pour into the Poaching Tray.
- Place the Poaching Tray onto the Main Unit.
- Cover with the Lid.
- Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Press the Power Button. The indicator light will illuminate.
- When the water has evaporated and the eggs are cooked, the indicator light will turn off and the appliance will automatically shut off.
- Carefully remove the Lid and Poaching Tray using oven mitts. Use a non-abrasive utensil to remove the cooked eggs/omelets.
The poaching tray allows for easy preparation of omelets or poached eggs.
Deluxe Egg Bite Maker (DBBM450GBBK08)
The Egg Bite Maker is designed for quick and easy preparation of egg bites.
Making Egg Bites
- Plug the Egg Bite Maker into an electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is preheating.
- While preheating, whisk eggs with desired ingredients (e.g., cheese, vegetables, cooked meats).
- Once the indicator light turns off, the unit is preheated and ready for use.
- Place the desired Silicone Molds (four mini or one large) into the heating wells.
- Pour the egg mixture into the silicone molds, filling them to just below the rim.
- Close the lid. The indicator light will turn on during cooking.
- Cook for approximately 6-10 minutes, or until egg bites are set to your preference. Cooking time may vary based on ingredients and desired consistency.
- Once cooked, carefully open the lid and remove the silicone molds using oven mitts.
- Allow to cool slightly, then gently push the egg bites out of the silicone molds.
The process for making egg bites is simple: prepare ingredients, pour into molds, cook, and enjoy.
