Do I add the same amount of water to cook fourteen eggs as I would seven eggs?

I would say yes. The amount of water determines how long the eggs cook. The number of eggs doesn't enter into the equation.

Yes. what ever level is shown for hardboiled/softboiled. But even if you put little more nothing happens (Nothing happened for me)

You can safely use 5 eggs. Any more than that I think the eggs might not cook sufficiently on top without burning the bottom.

Yes. Cook with a little more water than it calls for and it will be very mashable.

Use the measurements on the "soft boiled eggs" side of the measuring cups. For 3 eggs, I add water at the "7" mark. For 4 eggs, I use the "5" mark. This is our 2nd poacher the time is different on this poacher. The directions are confusing - you will just have to experiment to get your perfect eggs. Hope this helps.

U use fresh eggs that are sometimes huge and put the water amt they say for how many I cook and there has never been a problem. Luv the egg cooker.....

first, only use 3 eggs. Do not overfill. Turn it on, close lid and wait for it to finish. simple.

YES! Here is what I found: For 1 whole egg, add 1 teaspoon of Orgran No Egg, to 2 tablespoons water. To replace 3 egg whites, add 2 teaspoons of Orgran No Egg, with 1 tablespoon water. (If recipe calls for stiffly beaten egg whites, mix Orgran No Egg, and water until stiff.)*May also be added directly as a dry ingredient in most recipes. 1 heaped teaspoon of No Egg is equal to 3.0 g (0.1 oz)

I agree with Grub. Consider this, only enough water is required to last through the cooking process, which is only minutes. It is the steam that cooks, not the water. Note that the water can splash up into the cups if not all cups are in place. I have found that my best results come when all cups are in place and contain an egg.

I would suggest contacting Krups for a new cup, since their instructions for filling the cup vary depending not only on whether you want soft, medium or hard eggs, but by how many eggs you are cooking. I was going to try to fill the cup for each variation and then pour the water into a measuring cup to give you the amounts, but the differences are so minimal, I don't think I could be accurate. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have done two large eggs, and there was plenty of room. I would just try it with extra large eggs, and see how it turns out.

Put the eggs in the tray and use the same amount of water that you would for hard boiled eggs. 1 table spoon of water per egg. I like mine done better so I use 5 Table spoons of water for 4 poached eggs. Altitude is a factor. If you live at 5000 ft like I do, then it takes a little longer for the water to boil, thus lengthens the cooking time of the eggs. To compensate I just add one extra table spoon of water for the 4 eggs. Hope thia helps. Leon M.

I didn't add extra water. Double check that the extra level of jars won't add to your cooking time, otherwise just use the same amount as a single level of jars.

We use 1 whole egg and add water to make up the 3/4. It's worked perfectly everytime for us in our bread machine. We LOVE this bread.

I find that the amount of water determines how much your egg is cooked. Try adding more water for a firmer egg. Hope this helps.

Yes, simply adjust the water and grounds to your needs for the moment - however, the indicator shows up at 14 cups, so if you are brewing less than that, then it may be a little difficult to judge.

My cup has no numbers as well! My first try I used the full 7 eggs. I filled the cup to the Hard boil line and put that water in the tray. Then decided to add a little more water. So I filled the cup to the soft boil line and added that water as well. The hard boiled eggs turned out great and peeled easy! I guess I'll have to experiment with how much water to use if I want to cook less eggs.

I used it for 5 egg whites this past weekend and I had concern of the bowl size. So I feel 4 more egg whites should be no problem.
