2. Steam plate
3. Egg rack
4. Base with hotplate and on/off switch
5. Measuring cup
The PRINCESS CLASSIC EGG COOKER WITH STEAMER FUNCTION is finished in brushed
stainless steel. This fully automatic egg cooker with steamer function is suitable for boiling up to 6 eggs
at once. When the food is ready the built-in buzzer will sound to indicate this. The egg cooker with
steamer function has an on/off switch with indicator light, an egg rack, a steam plate, a transparent lid
and a measuring cup.
USING THE EGG COOKER
Warning: Please use the egg pricker with care to avoid injury! Prick a hole in the rounded ends of the
eggs to be boiled. This stops the eggs from cracking. Fill the measuring cup with water up to the mark
for the number of eggs you are boiling. Also allow for the hardness of the eggs (see the measuring cup).
Pour the water on to the egg cooker hotplate. Note: the scale is for medium size eggs. If you want the
eggs to be a little harder add a little more water. Use a little less water for softer eggs. Experiment until
you have found the ideal quantity of water for yourself.
Put the egg rack on the bottom of the egg cooker. Put the eggs in the egg rack and then put the transparent
lid on the appliance. The lid has holes to allow the steam produced while boiling to escape. Make sure
these holes are kept uncovered!
Put the plug in the socket and switch on the appliance using the on/off switch. The buzzer will sound
when all the water has evaporated. Switch the appliance off again. Take the lid off the appliance (N.B.:
the lid will be hot!). Remove the eggs still in the rack using the handles and cool them rapidly in cold water.
Note: let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes before using it again.
USING THE STEAMER FUNCTION
This appliance is not only ideal for boiling eggs but also for steaming foods. Many variations are possible.
1. Use the measuring cup to pour water onto the hotplate.
2. Place the egg rack and the steam plate onto the metal container. Position the steam plate in the centre
of the egg rack so it cannot become dislodged.
3. Place the food you wish to steam onto the steam plate.
Please note: if the food is moist the dish may become watery. Ensure that the food does not touch the lid.
If you follow these instructions your food will be steamed perfectly.
Tips for using the mini steam cooker
One of the features of this device is that when steaming the volume of water may need to be increased.
Never add more water than the hard 1 mark on the measuring cup.
- When using the steamer with frozen goods, the cooking times may vary depending on the amount of
water that comes out of the food. Also, please note that steaming times may vary depending on the
volume of food in the steamer.
- When the volume of food is small, increase the amount of water 1-2 gradations above
the recommended amount.
- After cooking, first wait for 15 minutes before you begin cooking again.
- If you stop steaming before cooking has finished, turn the power off, and wait for the
steam to settle down before opening the lid. Be careful, the lid can be very hot.
