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”. When
the beeper sounds turn the power “OFF” lift the lid and remove the poaching tray.
Using Vari-Cook
™
Feature
As an example, to cook soft, medium and hard boiled eggs in the same batch, place up to seven (7) eggs in the black
egg rack. Make certain there is water in the water pan to the “fill line”. Place the loaded egg rack onto the base and
cover with stainless lid. Then position the slide control arm at
SOFT
on the UPPER scale. Turn the power “ON”.
When the beeper sounds, stop the beeper by flipping the switch to “OFF”, remove the lid and the desired number of
soft boiled eggs and replace the lid. Move the black slide control arm to
M
(for Medium) on the lower Vari-Cook
™
scale (see fig. 6) and turn the power switch to “ON”. When the beeper next sounds, turn “OFF” the beeper and power
and remove the desired number of medium eggs. Then move the slide control arm promptly to
H
(for hard) on the
lower Vari-Cook
™
scale (see fig. 7), replace lid and turn the power “ON” and wait for the remaining eggs to cook to
hard. When the beeper sounds, turn “OFF” the power and remove the hard boiled eggs.
If you want to sequentially cook medium boiled and then
hard boiled eggs in the same batch, check the water level,
load the eggs in the egg rack and cover with the stainless
lid. Then position the slide control arm at
MED
on the
UPPER time scale. Turn the power “ON”. Wait as the eggs
cook. When beeper sounds, stop the beeper by turning the
power switch to “OFF”; remove the lid and the medium
cooked eggs. Then replace the lid, move the slide control
arm promptly to
H
on the lower Vari-Cook
™
scale, turn
“ON” the power and wait until the beeper sounds. Then
turn “OFF” the power switch and beeper. Remove the hard
boiled eggs. In these sequences it is necessary to turn
the power switch “OFF” and “ON” as instructed to ensure
accurate timing.
