You made a good choice! The Chef’sChoice® Gourment Egg Cooker 810 is designed to cook your eggs “just right”, whether you choose them poached, soft boiled, medium or hard boiled. Put in the eggs, set the slide control knob to your choice and leave the rest to the Chef’sChoice 810! You can poach three eggs at once or cook seven as soft, medium or hard boiled.
Understanding the Chef’sChoice® Gourmet Egg Cooker The Chef’sChoice® Egg Cooker consists of four main components; the base, lid, black egg rack and white egg poaching tray (see fig 1, below). The egg cooker can cook in one batch up to seven eggs to your taste; soft, medium or hard boiled. A poaching tray with elliptical-shaped cavities, in the tradition of Julia Child, quickly and conveniently poaches up to 3 eggs at a time.
Using the Egg Cooker To cook soft, medium or hard boiled. Place the Egg Cooker on a flat, level surface and remove the stainless lid and the egg rack from the base unit. Pour about ¾ cup of water into the gray non-stick coated water pan to the “LEVEL” fill marks at top of the base (see fig. 1 and fig. 2). Do not add water above the fill marks. This amount of water is more than enough for cooking 7 eggs to your choice. Wash or rinse the eggs and load them onto the black egg rack.
Poaching Eggs If you wish to prepare poached eggs, remove the black egg rack and prepare to use the white poaching tray (see fig. 5). Add ¾ cup of water to water pan (to the fill marks). Use a little non-stick spray or butter on the tray cavities to avoid sticking. Crack and drop the shelled raw eggs into the three (3) poaching cavities. Place the tray on the base, replace the lid and set the black slide control arm to the letter P for poach. Press the power switch to “ON”.
To sequentially cook soft boiled and then hard boiled eggs in the same batch make certain the water pan is filled to the fill line, load eggs onto the black rack and place rack on the base. Replace the lid, move the slide control arm to SOFT in the upper time scale. Turn “ON” power switch and wait until the beeper sounds. When beeper sounds, turn “OFF” the power, remove lid and remove the soft boiled eggs.
Before removing the lid when cooking, always turn “OFF” the power first and remember to use the handle to lift and remove the lid. By tilting the lid as shown in Figure 4, the lid deflects the steam from your fingers. Avoid all contact with the steam. Remember to never operate the Egg Cooker without water in the water pan. Load one or more eggs in the Cooker before turning the power “ON”. The timing scale is calibrated in minutes.
