INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Your Foghorn Leghorn Egg Cooker will cook
1-7 eggs at a time. Depending on
the amount of water used, the
Egg Cooker will cook eggs to a
soft, medium, or hard
consistency. Depending on the
size and number of eggs, the
Egg Cooker can create a
deliciously soft boiled egg in
5 minutes, or 7 perfectly
cooked hard boiled eggs in
about 15 minutes. The Egg
Cooker will also cook up to
two poached eggs at a time in
about 5 minutes!
COOKING GUIDE
The Measuring Cup has markings for cooking 1, 3, or 7 eggs at
soft, medium, or hard consistencies. Fill water to the desired line for
cooking type (soft, medium, or hard) and corresponding number of
eggs (1, 3, or 7). Use the chart below as a guide for all other water
measurements for cooking type and corresponding number of eggs.
NOTE: Less water is required when more eggs are cooked.

TO BOIL EGGS
1. Set the appliance on a dry, clean countertop
surface, where it can be easily plugged into an
electrical outlet.
2. Lift Lid off of Heating Bowl.
3. Use Measuring Cup or refer to Cooking
Guide to determine the amount of water
needed for number of eggs and cooking
method. Carefully pour desired amount of
COLD water into Heating Bowl.
4. To prevent cracking during cooking, we
recommend piercing eggs with a small air hole.
Locate larger end of egg(s) and carefully push Egg Piercer into
larger end of each egg until a small hole forms.
5. Be sure Egg Rack is seated on inner rim of Heating Bowl and place
each egg (larger end down) into the Egg Rack.
6. Align hole in handle portion of Lid over ON/OFF Button and lower
Lid onto Heating Bowl.
7. Plug the Egg Cooker into a standard 120V AC power outlet.
8. Depress ON/OFF Button to start cooking. A red Indicator Light will
turn on while the unit is heating and cooking. Depending on the
amount of water and number of eggs, the cooking time will vary.
CAUTION: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam
through the Steam Vent in the top of the Lid during cooking.
Do not place hands or any other objects over the Steam Vent
during operation. The steam is very hot and could cause
personal injury.
9. When eggs have completed cooking, a loud, intermittent beep will
sound. Depress ON/OFF Button to turn appliance off. Unplug Egg
Cooker from wall outlet.
10. To prevent additional “cooking” from the heat inside the Egg
Cooker, remove eggs shortly after the beep. Use handle portion of
Lid to lift Lid off of Heating Bowl. Use care to avoid escaping heat
and steam when removing Lid. If necessary, use oven mitts or
a towel.
11. Use tongs or a towel to remove hot eggs from Egg Rack. To
prevent a blue discoloration around egg yolks and to ease in
peeling boiled eggs, immediately chill boiled eggs in cold water.

TO POACH EGGS
1. Set the appliance on a dry, clean countertop surface, where it can
be easily plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Lift Lid off of Heating Bowl.
3. Carefully pour 2 tablespoons COLD water into Heating Bowl.
4. Use a small amount of vegetable oil, margarine, or butter to lightly
coat the inside of Poaching Tray(s) to avoid sticking.
5. Break one egg into each Poaching Tray, being careful not to break
the yolk.
6. Be sure Egg Rack is seated on inner rim of Heating Bowl. Carefully
place filled Poaching Tray(s) onto Egg Rack. Be sure feet on bottom

outs of the Egg Rack.
7. Align hole in handle portion of Lid over ON/OFF Button and lower
Lid onto Heating Bowl.
8. Plug the Egg Cooker into a standard 120V AC power outlet.
9. Depress ON/OFF Button to start cooking. A red Indicator Light will
turn on while the unit is heating and cooking. The
amount of time needed to poach 1-2 eggs is
about 5 minutes.
CAUTION: This appliance
generates heat and
escaping steam through the
Steam Vent in the top of the
Lid during cooking.
Do not place hands or any
other objects over the
Steam Vent during
operation. The steam is
very hot and could cause
personal injury.
10. When eggs have completed cooking, a
loud, intermittent beep will sound. Depress
ON/OFF Button to turn appliance off.
Unplug Egg Cooker from wall outlet.
11. To prevent additional “cooking” from the
heat inside the Egg Cooker, remove eggs shortly after the beep.
Use handle portion of Lid to lift Lid off of Heating Bowl. Use care to
avoid escaping heat and steam when removing Lid. If necessary,
use oven mitts or a towel.
12. When properly cooked, poached eggs will have filmed-over egg
yolks and the whites will be set and firm inside the Poaching
Tray(s). Use oven mitts to remove Poaching Trays from Egg Rack.
Serve poached eggs in Poaching Trays or carefully scoop eggs
onto a separate serving dish.

HELPFUL HINTS
• Avoid purchasing cracked or broken eggs. Always check freshness
date on egg packaging.
• To test eggs for freshness, place an egg in a bowl of cool water. If it
sinks, it is fresh; if it floats, discard the egg.
• Chill hard boiled eggs in cold water IMMEDIATELY after cooking to
prevent the blue discoloration around the egg yolk.
• Store eggs in the refrigerator. Boiled eggs will keep for up to one
week in the refrigerator. Poached eggs can be plunged into cold
water immediately after cooking and be covered and refrigerated for
up to two days.
• To reheat refrigerated poached eggs, allow egg to reach room
temperature or set poached egg in hot water for about one minute.
• When a recipe calls for eggs to be at “room temperature,” remove
eggs from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to use.
