First-Time Setup
- Clean the device: Before first use, wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Wash the lid, egg holder, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Cooking Perfect Eggs

- Cool and serve: Remove the lid carefully to avoid steam burns. Lift out the egg holder and run the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
