Note: If the appliance completes the cooking cycle but the food is not cooked to taste, simply add a little more cold water and restart the cooking process. Care and cleaning After each use Turn the power off and unplug from the power outlet. To clean the plastic parts Wash the cover, egg rack, poaching trays and steaming rack in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Note: Do not clean any parts in a dishwasher as the high temperatures reached may distort the plastic. To clean the heating vessel Wipe over with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasives as these will scratch the non- stick surface. After cleaning the heating vessel, rub a small amount of vegetable or cooking oil into the non-stick surface. This allows easier removal of mineral deposits that exist normally in water. Important: Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid. Care is required when handling the egg piercer on the measuring cup. Egg tips Eggs are nature’s contribution to ‘fast food’. Conveniently packaged, simple to use and inexpensive. They are an extremely nutrient-dense food, providing vitamins, minerals, protein and fats, with the standard size egg containing only 300KJ. A nutritious, balanced meal can be made in under 10 minutes by serving a boiled or poached egg with toast and orange juice. Dressed up or served plainly, an egg always tastes and looks great. • When purchasing, avoid cracked or broken eggs and check the ‘best by’ date on the carton. • Store eggs in the refrigerator with the pointed side down in their carton. This reduces the risk of damage, slows down moisture loss and prevents eggs from absorbing odours from strong smelling foods. • If a recipe specifies using eggs at room temperature, simply remove them from the refrigerator 30 minutes before using. • To test for freshness, place an egg in a bowl of cool water. If it sinks, it is fresh – if it floats, throw it out. • Piercing the large end of the egg with the egg piercer on the underside of the measuring cup prevents it from cracking during cooking, with the added bonus of making it easier to peel. • Chill hard boiled eggs in cold water immediately after cooking to prevent blue discolouration around the yolk. • Hard boiled eggs are much easier to slice if they are cold. If you don’t have an egg slicer, use a sharp, thin-bladed knife, dipping into cold water every few slices. • Refrigerated as soon as they cool, boiled eggs will keep for up to 1 week.
