INSTRUCTIONS  
To assemble your Cuisinart® Egg Cooker:  
To prevent the development of bacteria  
in cooked egg dishes, eggs should not  
be left at room temperature longer than  
2 hours (count preparation as well as  
serving time.)  
1. Rinse the lid, poaching tray and cook-  
ing rack in hot soapy water or in a  
dishwasher (top rack only). DO NOT  
submerge base of unit. Base can be  
wiped clean with a damp cloth. Please  
refer to the Cleaning Instructions  
section for more information.  
• Chill and refrigerate hard cooked eggs  
immediately after removing from the  
Egg Cooker. For best results, plunge  
cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water -  
this will stop the cooking process and  
prevent a dark ring from developing  
around the yolk.  
2. Place poaching tray, beaker and egg  
holders next to the unit. CAUTION:  
Piercing Pin on base of beaker is  
extremely sharp.  
• Is the egg hard cooked or raw? Can’t  
recall which ones you have cooked?  
Play spin the egg. A cooked egg will  
spin, a raw egg will wobble.  
3. Position the cooking tray over the  
base. Ribs on side handles should be  
facing upward.  
4. Place the stainless steel lid over the  
cooking tray.  
• Fresher eggs (less than a week old)  
are harder to peel than those a  
little older.  
5. Plug in power cord. Your egg  
cooker is now assembled for use.  
To peel hard cooked eggs easily, roll  
gently on the counter, using the palm of  
your hand to crack. Dip in a bowl of  
cold water and begin peeling from the  
larger end.  
TIP AND hINTS  
• When purchasing eggs, choose  
only those eggs that are stored in a  
refrigerator case. Refrigerate eggs  
until ready to use. (For baking, eggs  
may be placed in a bowl of warm  
water for 5 to 10 minutes to bring  
them safely to “room temperature”  
for best baking results.)  
• Hard cooked eggs in the shell will keep  
for up to one week properly refrigerat-  
ed. Hard cooked eggs out of the shell  
should be used immediately.  
• Hard cooked eggs that have been col-  
ored and displayed decoratively should  
not be consumed - enjoy their colorful  
display and discard. Cook extra eggs  
for eating and consider the discarded  
eggs an inexpensive way to decorate.  
• Eggs should be stored in the carton in  
which they were purchased to keep  
them from drying out and absorbing  
refrigerator odors. The eggs should be  
in the carton large end up - this will  
help them stay fresh longer and will  
keep the yolks centered.  
• Hard cooked eggs make a colorful, fla-  
vorful and nutritious garnish. They can  
be sliced, wedged, finely chopped or  
pressed through a fine sieve to make  
a powder-like garnish.  
• Don’t know if your eggs are fresh?  
Place them in a bowl of salted cool

To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs  
out of the shell, break the shell through  
the center of the egg with a knife. Use  
a teaspoon to scoop the egg out of  
each half onto a serving dish or piece  
of toast.  
8. Place lid on top of unit and slide  
power switch to the “On” position.  
Indicator light will be lit.  
9. When liquid is completely evaporat-  
ed, the eggs will be cooked to the  
desired consistency. Cooking time  
will vary depending on the number of  
eggs and consistency. See  
Approximate Cooking Time Chart,  
page 5.  
To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs  
in a cup, place the egg in a cup, small  
end down. Slice off the large end,  
about one inch from the top, using a  
knife or egg scissors. Eat from the shell  
with a teaspoon or serve with toast  
strips to dip in the soft yolk.  
10. When cooking is complete, a  
continuous audible tone will sound  
and indicator light will turn off.  
11. Slide power switch to the “Off” posi-  
tion. NOTE: Once the unit cools off, it  
will automatically turn on again if the  
switch is not in the “Off “ position.  
OPERATION  
1. FOR hARD, mEDIUm AND  
SOFT COOKED EggS:  
1. Place egg cooker on a clean,  
dry surface.  
12. Remove eggs immediately to  
prevent overcooking.  
2. Remove lid and cooking rack.  
13. Run cold water over eggs.  
14. Eggs are now ready to serve.  
3. Determine the consistency of cooked  
eggs preferred (Hard, Medium or  
Soft). Using the measuring beaker,  
locate the consistency and number  
of eggs to be cooked. Fill to the  
appropriate line with cold water.  
For best results, use distilled water,  
since tap water has minerals that  
can cause discoloration of the eggs.  
For Additional Eggs:  
1. To remove possible mineral  
buildup, moisten a paper towel with  
one tablespoon white  
vinegar and wipe the heating plate  
clean.  
4. Pour cold water into heating plate.  
2. Repeat steps 1-14.  
5. Place cooking rack on top  
of base.  
* Cooking times will vary slightly  
depending on number and size of eggs,  
temperature of eggs prior to cooking,  
temperature and amount of water used,  
altitude and length of time eggs remain  
in cooker following cooking cycle.  
6. Rinse the number of eggs desired –  
cook up to 7 eggs at one time.  
7. Using the piercing pin located under  
the beaker, pierce the large end of  
each egg and place in cooking tray.  
Rinse pin after use.

dry surface.  
Number of Eggs: 1-3  
Approx. Cooking Time: 17 minutes  
2. Remove lid and cooking tray.

CLEANINg AND  
mAINTENANCE  
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Egg  
Cooker from the electrical outlet before  
cleaning.  
4. Lightly butter or spray vegetable oil  
on poaching tray.

section – cooks up to three poached  
eggs.  
Wash lid, cooking and poaching trays in  
hot, soapy water or in the top shelf of a  
dishwasher.  
6. Place cooking tray on base and place  
poaching tray on top of cooking tray.  
Clean heating plate with a paper towel  
moistened with one tablespoon white  
vinegar. This removes any mineral depos-  
its left behind from the water and also  
works as an antibacterial agent. You may  
wipe the heating plate using water and a  
damp cloth if desired.  
7. Place lid on top of unit and slide  
power switch to the “On” position.  
Indicator light will be lit.  
8. When liquid is completely  
evaporated, the eggs will be  
poached. See Approximate Cooking  
Time Chart.  
NOTE: If unit is not cleaned with white  
vinegar (see above) on a regular basis,  
minerals naturally occurring in water will  
build up and cause discoloration of egg-  
shells. However, discoloration of  
the eggshells does not affect the taste  
of the eggs.  
9. When cooking is complete, a  
continuous audible tone will sound  
and indicator light will turn off.  
10. Slide power switch to the “Off” posi-  
tion. NOTE: Once the unit cools off, it  
will automatically turn on again if the  
switch is not in the “Off “ position.  
Wipe main body housing with a  
damp cloth.  
DO NOT immerse in water.  
11. Remove eggs immediately to  
prevent overcooking.

Use the cord wrap feature located under-  
neath the unit to store extra cord.  
Spoon the deviled yolk mixture into the  
reserved egg white halves. Or place the  
deviled yolk mixture in a 1-quart freezer  
weight plastic bag. Cut about 1/4 inch  
off one corner of the bag. Use the bag to  
squeeze the yolk mixture into each egg  
white half. Refrigerate until ready to  
serve. Just before serving, sprinkle with  
paprika or chopped fresh parsley or  
chives.  
Place clean cooking tray, poaching tray,  
beaker and egg holders inside the egg  
cooker for storage.

CALIFORNIA  
RESIDENTS ONLy  
California law provides that for  
In-Warranty Service, California residents  
have the option of returning a noncon-  
forming product (A) to the store where it  
was purchased or (B) to another retail  
store which sells Cuisinart products of  
the same type. The retail store shall then,  
according to its preferences, either repair  
the product, refer the consumer to an  
independent repair facility, replace the  
product, or refund the purchase price  
less the amount directly attributable to  
the consumer’s prior usage of the prod-  
uct. If either of the above two options  
does not result in the appropriate relief to  
the consumer, the consumer may then  
take the product to an independent repair  
facility if service or repair can be eco-  
nomically accomplished.* Cuisinart and  
not the consumer will be responsible for  
the reasonable cost of such service,  
repair, replacement, or refund for noncon-  
forming products under warranty.  
Please pay by check or money order.

proof of purchase and should call  
1-800-720-0190 for shipping instructions).

ment, or other than ordinary household
