Frequently Asked Questions - 25511 HAMILTON BEACH

Why are my egg bites sticking to the compartments?

Spray a small amount of non-stick cooking spray into the compartments before adding the egg mixture. This makes removal easier.

How to prevent hard-boiled eggs from cracking during cooking?

Use fresh eggs without cracks and place the larger end of the egg into the cavity of the hard-boiled egg tray.

What to do if the cooking indicator does not light up?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working outlet. Make sure the center of the water reservoir is filled. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Why is water leaking from the appliance?

This may be due to excess water in the reservoir or a lid that is not properly positioned. Follow the recommended water amounts and make sure the lid is securely in place.

How to clean limescale deposits in the reservoir?

Add enough white vinegar to cover the stains, let soak for a few minutes, empty, then wipe with a non-abrasive damp cloth. Rinse and dry.

Can I use a liquid other than water for cooking?

No, use only cold water. Using other liquids may damage the appliance.

My eggs are overcooked or undercooked, how to adjust cooking?

For longer cooking, add 5 to 10 mL of extra water. For shorter cooking, reduce the amount of water. Cooking times vary depending on egg size.

Does the lid need to be placed in a specific way?

Yes, align the lid rest slot with the lid support on the base. Improper positioning may cause steam leaks and uneven cooking.

Can I make poached eggs with this appliance?

Yes, crack one egg into each compartment of the egg tray (without the egg bites) and add the recommended water amount for poached eggs (about 80 mL per egg). Follow the instruction manual.

How to know when the eggs are cooked?

The green cooking indicator turns off when the water has evaporated. For egg bites, insert a knife into the center: if it comes out clean, they are done. For hard-boiled eggs, let them cool in ice water after cooking.
