To cook soft-boiled eggs, fill the measuring cup with water up to the "Soft" line. Pour the water into the heating plate. Place the eggs in the egg tray, cover with the lid, and turn on the egg cooker. Wait for the buzzer to sound, indicating that the eggs are ready.
To prevent eggs from cracking, use the pin on the bottom of the measuring cup to pierce a small hole in the larger end of each egg before cooking. This allows steam to escape and reduces the risk of cracking.
Ensure that the cooker is plugged into a working outlet. Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips or contact Dash customer support.
After unplugging and cooling the unit, clean the lid, egg holder, and measuring cup with warm, soapy water. Use a damp cloth to wipe the heating plate. Do not submerge the base in water. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembly.
Yes, you can cook different types of eggs simultaneously by using the provided trays. However, be aware that cooking times may vary, so you may need to remove certain eggs earlier to achieve the desired doneness.
If the eggs are undercooked, add a small amount of water to the heating plate and restart the cooking cycle. Adjust the water level in future uses to better match your desired egg consistency.
To poach eggs, fill the measuring cup to the "Poached" line and pour onto the heating plate. Place the poaching tray on the egg cooker, crack one egg into each section, cover with the lid, and turn on the cooker. Wait for the buzzer to signal completion.
The buzzing sound indicates the end of the cooking cycle. This sound is normal and signifies that your eggs are ready. Turn off the cooker and unplug it before removing the eggs.
Yes, you can steam small portions of vegetables using the Dash egg cooker. Place the vegetables on the steaming tray, add the appropriate amount of water to the heating plate, cover with the lid, and turn on the cooker.
To descale, mix equal parts of water and vinegar, and pour onto the heating plate. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely before the next use.
