Equipment

Dash Rapid Egg Cooker (6-egg, DEC005)

Hard boiled water

~4.4 tbsp / 60g (fill to the HARD line on the cup)

Medium water

~2.5 tbsp / 35g

Soft water

~2 tbsp / 25g

Total time

~12–15 min

Doneness is set by water amount, not time. The cooker runs until the water boils off, then buzzes. The cup's fill lines are the source of truth; use the amounts above if the cup is lost.

Directions

1. Pierce the wide end of each of the eggs with the pin on the bottom of the measuring cup.
2. Fill the measuring cup to the hard-boiled line (~4.4 tbsp / 60g of water) and pour it into the heating plate.
3. Set the boiling tray on the plate and place the eggs pierced-end up, one per spot.
4. Cover with the lid, plug in, and press the power button.
5. When the buzzer sounds, unplug and lift the eggs out.
6. Drop them into an ice-water bath for a few minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.

Variants & Notes

• Hard boiled runs about 12 min for the buzzer, 15 min or so for very firm. Cook time is the same for 1 egg or 6.
• Fewer eggs still use the same doneness fill line; the water level sets doneness, not the count.
• Older eggs (a few weeks) peel more cleanly than farm-fresh.
• Same setup for medium or soft, just use less water (see References).
