Familiarize yourself with the parts of your Sunbeam Egg Boiler:

This image displays the Sunbeam Stainless Steel Egg Boiler disassembled into its main components for better understanding of its structure. From top to bottom, you can see the stainless steel dome lid, a black plastic tray for poaching eggs or steaming, a black plastic egg holder rack, and the main heating base unit with a red power switch and a silver heating plate. A small measuring cup is also typically included (not explicitly shown in this exploded view but part of the product).

1. Stainless Steel Dome Lid: Covers the eggs during cooking, trapping steam.
2. Poaching/Steaming Tray: A multi-compartment tray for poaching eggs or steaming other small items.
3. Egg Holder Rack: Holds up to 7 eggs securely in place during boiling.
4. Heating Base: The main unit containing the heating element and water reservoir.
5. Power Switch: Red switch on the front of the heating base to turn the unit on/off.
6. Measuring Cup (not pictured): Used to measure the precise amount of water needed for desired egg consistency.

4. Setup

Before first use, wash all removable parts (lid, egg holder rack, poaching tray, measuring cup) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the heating base with a damp cloth.

1. Place the heating base on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface near a power outlet.
2. Ensure the power switch is in the "OFF" position.
3. Plug the power cord into a standard 240V electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Boiling Eggs (Soft, Medium, Hard)

1. Using the provided measuring cup, add the appropriate amount of cold water to the heating plate in the base unit. The measuring cup typically has markings for soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs, corresponding to the number of eggs.
2. Place the egg holder rack onto the heating base.
3. Carefully place up to 7 eggs into the designated slots on the egg holder rack. For best results and to prevent cracking, use the piercing tool (often found at the bottom of the measuring cup) to make a small hole in the larger end of each egg.
4. Cover the unit with the stainless steel dome lid.
5. Press the power switch to the "ON" position. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. The egg boiler will begin to steam. Once all the water has evaporated, the unit will automatically shut off, and the indicator light will turn off.
7. Carefully remove the lid (use oven mitts as steam will be hot) and then remove the egg holder rack with the cooked eggs.
8. For best results, immediately rinse the cooked eggs under cold water or place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

5.2. Poaching Eggs

1. Add water to the heating plate as indicated for poaching (usually a specific marking on the measuring cup, or approximately 50-60ml).
2. Place the egg holder rack onto the heating base.
3. Place the poaching tray on top of the egg holder rack.
4. Lightly grease the poaching cups with butter or cooking spray.
5. Crack one egg into each poaching cup.
6. Cover the unit with the stainless steel dome lid.
7. Press the power switch to the "ON" position.
8. The unit will automatically shut off when the water has evaporated. Cooking time for poached eggs is typically 6-8 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
9. Carefully remove the lid and the poaching tray. Use a non-metallic spatula to gently remove the poached eggs.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your egg boiler.

1. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Removable Parts: The stainless steel dome lid, egg holder rack, and poaching tray are removable and dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
3. Heating Base: Wipe the exterior of the heating base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
4. Heating Plate: Mineral deposits (scale) may form on the heating plate over time. To remove, add a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) to the heating plate, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
5. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing.
