FAQs
How do I clean the VonShef Egg Boiler?
Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Wash the removable parts (shelves, poaching bowl, measuring cup) with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.
Can I cook different sized eggs?
Yes, but cooking times may vary slightly. Adjust water levels based on egg size to achieve your desired doneness. The provided guidelines are based on standard-sized eggs.
What if my eggs are too hard or too soft?
Experiment with the amount of water used. Less water results in softer eggs, and more water results in harder eggs. Also, ensure you are using the egg piercer to prevent cracking.

The appliance is designed primarily for cooking eggs. The poaching bowl is suitable for omelettes. Do not attempt to cook other foods that are not designed to be cooked in this appliance.

Troubleshooting
Eggs are cracking during boiling.
Use the egg piercer included in the measuring cup to gently pierce the large end of each egg before cooking. This releases pressure and prevents cracking.
Eggs are undercooked or overcooked.
Ensure you are using the correct water level as indicated in the user manual. Adjust water levels slightly based on the egg size or your desired doneness.
Appliance won't turn on.
Check that the appliance is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power indicator light is illuminated.
Appliance is not heating up.
