The Measuring Cup
Using the proper amount of water during
the cooking process is the key to perfect
results. The cup is clearly marked for
soft-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs.
The reverse side has the measurement
for omelettes and poached eggs.
When cooking eggs in the shell (hard,
medium, and soft), rst pierce
the bottom of the egg with a small hole.
Then, place the eggs with the puncture
facing up. Afterward, place the cap back
on the Measuring Cup.

Tips & Tricks
• Piercing the eggs prevents them from cracking and results in uniform cooking.
• The easiest way to peel hard-boiled eggs is to blanch them in ice water to stop the cooking process.
Then, crack the shell by gently tapping on a countertop or sink. Rinse the egg with cold tap water while
gently peeling the shell.
