The Duronic Measuring Jug: Understanding Water Levels for Perfect Eggs
The Duronic Egg Boiler EB27 comes equipped with a measuring jug. This jug is essential for getting your eggs just right, as it indicates the exact amount of water required based on two factors: the number of eggs you're boiling and the consistency you want.
Consistencies of Boiled Eggs
Soft-Boiled: A runny yolk with slightly set egg whites.
Medium-Boiled: A firmer yolk with a semi-set texture.
Hard-Boiled: Fully cooked yolk and firm egg whites.
Each consistency is clearly marked on the measuring jug, allowing you to easily select the right water level. Simply choose the amount of water that corresponds to both the number of eggs you're cooking and your preferred egg consistency.
Consistencies: The measuring jug is marked with levels for three different consistencies—soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs.
Number of Eggs: The jug also has markings corresponding to the number of eggs you are boiling, ranging from one to seven. For example, if you are boiling three eggs and want them medium-boiled, simply fill the water to the medium level for three eggs.
How to Use the Duronic EB27 Egg Boiler: Step-by-Step Guide
Using the Duronic EB27 Egg Boiler is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
Pour the Right Amount of Water
1. Using the measuring jug provided, find the side that shows you the water level for your desired consistency.
2. Once you have found it, fill the measuring jug up to the number of eggs you are going to boil and pour it in (if you’re boiling 3 hard-boiled eggs, you'll fill the water up to the line marked 3 where the hard boiled sign is).
3. This egg boiler uses the amount of water added as the cooking time and also the way to get the perfect egg consistency.
Prepare and Place the Eggs in the Egg Basket
1. Before placing the eggs in the egg boiler, pierce the larger end of each egg using the pin located on the bottom of the measuring jug. This step helps prevent the eggs from cracking during the cooking process.
2. Once pierced, place the eggs in the egg basket, ensuring they are evenly spaced out.
3. Place the lid on top of the egg boiler, and then switch on the machine. There’s no need to manually set a timer—the Duronic EB27 Egg Boiler will beep when your eggs are ready.
4. The egg cooker has a reheating function, so if you're not ready to eat your eggs right away, you can keep them warm until you’re ready to serve.
Enjoy Your Perfect Eggs!
Once the alarm sounds, remove the eggs and either serve immediately or cool them down in cold water, depending on your preference. Your eggs will be perfectly cooked to your desired consistency.
