Ingredients
- Eggs as many as your cooker can hold – usually 1-12 eggs
- Water the recommended amount varies by cooker, usually marked on a measuring cup that comes with it
- Salt optional, for seasoning later
- Vinegar optional, can help with peeling hard-boiled eggs!
Instructions
- Prep your cooker: Read the instruction manual to understand how much water your egg cooker needs. Use the measuring cup provided to measure accurately.
- Crack those eggs: Place your eggs into the egg cooker. Make sure they’re snug but not too cramped—this isn’t a chicken coop!
- Add water: Pour the measured water into the cooker’s base. If your device has different settings for soft-boiled or hard-boiled, choose wisely!
- On goes the lid: Secure the lid on top. It should fit snugly. This is where the magic of steaming happens. Think of it like an egg sauna!
- Hit the button: Turn the cooker on. If your cooker beeps or lights up, it’s letting you know things are heating up. Exciting, right?
- Wait: Depending on how you like your eggs, the wait time will vary. For hard-boiled eggs, around 12-15 minutes usually does the trick, while soft-boiled might take 6-10 minutes.
- Chill out: Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the eggs (they'll be hot!) and plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking process. Give them a few minutes to cool.
- Peel and enjoy: Gently tap to crack the shell and start peeling! If you're having trouble, try running them under water as you peel. Enjoy your perfectly cooked eggs!
