How do you like your eggs? With the Andrew James Electric Egg Boiler you can cook them just the way you want, whenever you want. This compact machine has been designed to be quick and efficient, and a lot less hassle than boiling a saucepan of water on your stove top! You can use the machine to boil just one egg or up to 7 at once. Plus, with the poaching and steaming attachments your machine can be used at any time of day to help prepare any meal.
This egg boiler machine will cook standard to large hens’ eggs. Start by filling the egg boiler with the amount of water you need. The measuring cup will show you how much you need to add depending on how many eggs you are cooking and whether you want them soft boiled, hard boiled or medium boiled. You actually need more water for one egg than for 7, which can seem illogical, but its all to do with space. The more eggs you put in the less space you need to fill with steam, so the less water you need to add to create that steam. Use cold or tepid water from the tap rather than hot water in the machine.
Next, make a small hole in one end of the egg with the piercer on the bottom of the measuring cup. Place the egg in the boiler with the hole facing up. This is really important as it prevents the contents of the egg seeping out and burning onto the hot plate.
Place the lid on the boiler and turn it on. Remember to keep your fingers away from the hole at the top of the lid as the steam can scald you. Once all the water has boiled away the buzzer will sound to let you know to turn off the machine - there’s no need for a timer! Let any remaining steam clear then take out your eggs ready to peel for a salad or to dip your toast soldiers into.
