TIP AND HINTS

  • Refrigerate eggs until ready to use. Always use cold eggs – do not bring them to room temperature before using or the eggs will be slightly overcooked.
  • Eggs should be stored in the carton in which they were purchased to keep them from drying out and absorbing refrigerator odors.
  • The eggs should be in the carton large end up – this will help them stay fresher longer and will keep the yolks centered. This is a suggested method for storing eggs.
  • Before cooking soft, medium, or hard eggs, pierce one side of the egg to prevent the shell from cracking during the cooking process. Always pierce the top of the egg, as in the side of the egg which was facing up when stored in the refrigerator.
  • Don’t know if your eggs are fresh? Place them in a bowl of salted cool water. If they sink, they are fresh – if they float, they
    are not.
  • Always wash the eggshells prior to soft, medium, or hard cooking.
  • You should always cool hard-cooked eggs immediately after cooking to prevent them from cooking further and causing a dark green ring to form around the yolk. First use tongs to remove cooked eggs and carefully place them in a large colander or strainer. Allow cold water to pour over the eggs until the eggs are cool enough to handle. Alternatively, you can place the eggs in a large bowl of iced water.
  • To peel hard-cooked eggs easily, roll them gently on the counter using the palm of your hand to crack them. Begin peeling from the larger end.
  • Hard-cooked eggs in the shell will keep for up to one week properly refrigerated. Hard-cooked eggs out of the shell should be used immediately.
  • Hard-cooked eggs that have been colored and displayed decoratively should not be consumed – enjoy their colorful display and discard them.
  • To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs out of the shell, break the shell through the center of the egg with a knife. Use a teaspoon to scoop the egg out of each half onto a serving dish or piece of toast.
  • To serve soft or medium-cooked eggs in a cup, place the egg in a cup, small end down. Slice off the large end, about one inch from the top, using a knife or egg scissors. Eat from the shell with a teaspoon or serve with toast strips to dip in the soft yolk.
  • Use our provided measuring cup as a guide. If you tend to like your eggs cooked a bit more well done, fill to the higher end of the water range. If you prefer your eggs slightly runnier, fill to the lower end of the water range. You will find this is most useful when preparing poached
    eggs, but you may find a need to play with the water amounts for the other types of eggs as well.
  • Poached eggs may be made in advance and then reheated prior to use. When doing so, undercook the eggs slightly by using less water, and then immediately cool by placing them in the refrigerator. To re-warm, place in a bowl of warm water, and then drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Before using either the poaching tray or the omelet tray, always brush with butter or lightly coat with oil or a nonstick cooking spray.
  • We provide recipes for a variety of omelets on page 9. Be creative and use your favorite fillings. Start with 3 eggs, 2–3 tablespoons of milk or water, and then up to 3 tablespoons of any vegetables, cheese, and/or seasonings that you wish.
  • The omelet pan is for more than just omelets. We give you a delicious recipe for chocolate chip bread pudding, but you can make any flavor, savory or sweet, using the same amounts of ingredients. For a sweet breakfast treat, try making an individual French toast with sliced or cubed bread, and the other usual ingredients (eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, etc).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart® Egg Central appliance from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Wash all removable parts in hot, soapy water or in the top shelf of a dishwasher. Clean the heating plate with a damp cloth. Remove any mineral deposits left behind from the water by wiping the plate with a paper towel moistened with one tablespoon of white vinegar. This also works as an antibacterial agent.

CAUTION: The base is extremely hot after use. Allow the unit to cool before handling or cleaning.
NOTE: If the unit is not cleaned with white vinegar on a regular basis, minerals naturally occurring in water will build up and cause the discoloration of eggshells. However, discoloration of the eggshells does not affect the taste of the eggs. Wipe the main body housing with a damp cloth. DO NOT immerse in water. Use the cord wrap feature located underneath the unit to store the extra cord. Place clean cooking racks, omelet and poach-ing trays, beakers, and egg holders inside the Egg Central appliance to store. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

FAQs

I have a Cuisinart CEC-10 Egg Central. I’ve had it for about 5 years and it’s worked great. Recently, the “ready” light stays on and the unit won’t cook. I’ve tried resetting it, but that doesn’t help. What should I do?

The problem you are describing is a common one. The unit has a thermal fuse that protects the unit from overheating. The fuse is located in the base of the unit and is easily replaced.

I have a Cuisinart CEC-10 Egg Central and I’m having trouble with it cooking my eggs. It seems to be overcooking them, they are very hard. What can I do?

This is also a common problem with this model. The Cuisinart CEC-10 uses an infrared sensor to determine when your eggs are done cooking and will stop cooking at that time. If you have determined that your eggs are overcooking, try lowering the temperature setting on your unit to medium or medium low and see if that helps correct the problem.

My Cuisinart CEC-10 Egg Central has stopped working altogether, what should I do?
