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.

shells. However, discoloration of
the eggshells does not affect the taste
of the eggs.

continuous audible tone will sound
and indicator light will turn off.

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

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
