Product Description
Get perfectly cooked eggs every time with the Andrew James Egg Boiler.
How do you like your eggs? With the Andrew James Electric Egg Boiler you can cook them just the way you want, whenever you want. This compact machine has been designed to be quick and efficient, and a lot less hassle than boiling a saucepan of water on your stove top! You can use the machine to boil just one egg or up to 7 at once. Plus, with the poaching and steaming attachments your machine can be used at any time of day to help prepare any meal.
How to boil an egg in an Egg Boiler
This egg boiler machine will cook standard to large hens’ eggs. Start by filling the egg boiler with the amount of water you need. The measuring cup will show you how much you need to add depending on how many eggs you are cooking and whether you want them soft boiled, hard boiled or medium boiled. You actually need more water for one egg than for 7, which can seem illogical, but its all to do with space. The more eggs you put in the less space you need to fill with steam, so the less water you need to add to create that steam. Use cold or tepid water from the tap rather than hot water in the machine.
Next, make a small hole in one end of the egg with the piercer on the bottom of the measuring cup. Place the egg in the boiler with the hole facing up. This is really important as it prevents the contents of the egg seeping out and burning onto the hot plate.
Place the lid on the boiler and turn it on. Remember to keep your fingers away from the hole at the top of the lid as the steam can scald you. Once all the water has boiled away the buzzer will sound to let you know to turn off the machine - there’s no need for a timer! Let any remaining steam clear then take out your eggs ready to peel for a salad or to dip your toast soldiers into.

The lid is completely detachable for easy cleaning and the other parts can be washed using a soft cloth and warm soapy water. We’ve included a handle on the side to make it easy to remove the BPA-free lid and the egg piercer is built into the base of the measuring cup to keep it safe. |
7-Egg CapacityCook up to 7 large hens’ eggs at once! Just add the right amount of water so they are soft, medium or hard boiled to perfection. We’ve also included a poaching attachment so you can poach up to 4 medium eggs. You can use this machine to cook other eggs, just adjust the amount of water added to suit the size and volume of the eggs. |
4 Poached Eggs or Steamed VegetablesYou can also use this egg boiler to steam foods such as beans, baby corn, asparagus and other veg. It could also take small portions of meat and fish like salmon. Use the measuring cup to add the water. Once the water has boiled off either turn off the machine or add more water until your food has cooked the way you want it. |
Hints and Tips
General
For the best results, use room temperature eggs
Brown residue can be left on the hot plate after the water has evaporated - this is normal and can be washed off with a damp cloth.
Always place the steamer tray and poacher tray on top of the egg tray. Never place the steamer or poacher tray directly onto the stainless steel hot plate.
Boiling
Make sure the egg shells are pierced with the piercing pin before boiling the eggs. This will prevent the shells cracking during the cooking process.
For fast peeling, start peeling from the end of the egg, not the side.
Paoching & Steaming
For best results with the poacher tray, use small-medium eggs.
To ensure your eggs don’t stick, wipe a little oil around the poaching compartments.
Use small to medium eggs for poaching to prevent them running over the sides of the container.
It is advised to crack the eggs into the poacher first then place onto the egg tray on the steamer, this helps avoid any spillages onto the hot plate.

Does the Egg Boiler have a timer?No, you don't need a timer with this machine. The cup shows you how much water you need to add for the type of eggs you want, and the number. When that boils off the stainless steel plate becomes dry and this initiates the buzzer, alerting you to the facts your eggs are cooked and you can turn the machine off. |
The measuring cup for my egg boiler says I have to add more water to cook fewer eggs, is this right?Yes, even though it seems illogical at first. The more eggs you cook in the egg boiler the less water you need to add. Your eggs are cooked by steam surrounding them. When the egg boiler is full with 7 eggs you need less steam to fill the remaining space and therefore less water. Conversely, if you are only cooking one egg there is a lot of space under the lid so you need more water to create more steam to fill that space. |
Do you put hot or cold water in the egg boiler?Before you start cooking your eggs add cold water. If you add hot or warm water it will evaporate into steam more quickly, reducing the cooking time and leaving your eggs really runny. |
