How much water for 3 poached eggs for hard white and liquid yokes. Having difficult time understanding the measuring cup.

Even with the measuring cup it may take some experimenting to get them just the way you like. But eventually it's easy.

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.

SORRY MY FIRST ANSWER WILL REALLY CONFUSE YOU...I JUST READ YOUR QUESTION AGAIN MORE CAREFULLY: On the measuring cup, the side with the egg that has a "line" half-way thru the egg is for soft cooked eggs, for 3 poached eggs fill with water up to the "3" mark. If this isn't as hard a yolk as you like, adjust the water UP to 1 or 2. Adjusting water down to 4 etc. if still not the way you like. I prefer my eggs with hard white, runny yolks and I use water at #3 for 4 eggs. I do know this, be sure the whites are NOT at the top of the cup (use spoon to remove some if you need to) because if it runs over it mars the heat surface and effects the cooking time....

Try line 6 on the soft boiled side of the measuring cup. If the yolks are to done try a little less water next time.

Sorry I am late answering your question. If you look on one side of the little measuring cup you will see it says "Hard Boiled" and the other side of the measuring cup says "Soft Boiled". YOu can fix one egg of 6. You only have to fill up to the line and it is a perfect egg. Please let me know if you have any more trouble. I love this cooker! I have bought several as gifts.

Just hard boiled 7 medium eggs using the measuring cup for 7 which is 1/4 cup. When the buzzing stopped I waited 3 minutes for cool down and then put the eggs in ice water. Just tried the first one and it was perfect- no gray yolk. Am doing 2 dozen for grandkids to color.Kathy in Hotlanta

For 2 eggs I have always used 2T. powder & 2T. water. But it might be that the extra water could affect the consistency.

I usually put in 1/3 cup water. As others have stated, make sure there's enough so it seals.

I just use a 1 cup that I can level off. Different recipes call for different amounts. I have a set of different sizes. You must measure carefully. Enjoy!

Pour 1/2 tsp of water into each section of the egg poacher. Break one egg into each section of the poacher. Center the yolk and pour 1/2 tsp of water over each egg. Lightly pierce the white and yolk of the egg several times. Cover with lid and cook on MEDIUM-MED/HIGH for apprx 30 seconds per egg. (4 eggs = 2 minutes Monitor cooking every 15-30 seconds. Stop microwave when the eggs are slightly softer than desired ,and let stand for 30 seconds before opening the lid.Egg will continue cooking.

I always insert each cup. No matter the number with eggs to cook. With vacant spaces, the void space allows way too much steam above, which spoils the heat concentration on bottom, then cooks from the top and accumulates water on top of the egg.I clean the cups with soapy water with a finger to ensure I do not create scratches. Egg cooked in hard? Soak in water for a while first. smear cold butter in the cool cup, ensure complete coverage, no butter in the no egg cup. My poached eggs slide out easily when I tip the egg cup. Perfect poached egg every time. I seldom cook less than five, even only for myself.This is the perfect poacher. I always insert each cup. No matter the number with eggs to cook.

Yes in my opinion it makes good poached eggs.you just need to put the right amount of water. Use the measuring cup that the unit comes with if you want one egg fill the cup to soft and two eggs to medium.

There is a plastic insert that you place the unccoked eggs to hard boil them. Place a little water in, put on the lid, push the egg button and in around 13 min. you can have hard boiled eggs. I have the larger model with 4 toast slots, that can cook 8 hard boiled eggs at one time, so I can't remember if you can cook 4 or 2 at a time but probably 4. It makes cooking egg salad a breeze.

You can poach two eggs at a time. There is a tray with two sides. Just add an egg to each side.

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.

Hi Brian, I measured, and here is what I came up with for both EGG and WATER: 1lb EGG: slightly less than 8oz, or 212 ml. 1 1/2 EGG: 11oz or 325ml. 2 lb EGG: 14oz or 400ml 1 lb WATER: 5 3/4 oz or 160ml 1 1/2 lb WATER: 9oz or 250ml 2 lb WATER: 10oz or 285ml. You always have to adjust by adding flour or water to get the walnut sized dough ball so these values should get you baking.

To make 2 cups of food I add 4oz of mix to 2cups (16oz.) of water. 3 cups of food I add 6 oz of mix to 3cups (24 oz.) of water. 4 cups of food: I add 8 oz of mix to 4 cups (32 oz.) of water. 5 cups of food: I add 10 oz of mix to 5 cups 40 oz. ) of water.

The instructions offered by D.W. are very good! I also use a little butter in each cup so the eggs don't stick (even though this poacher has a nonstick coating) and I use a little silicone spatula to remove each egg from the cup so as not to scratch the nonstick coating. To test if the eggs are cooked, I jiggle the middle knob. By experience I can tell if the whites are cooked or still raw by how much the eggs jiggle in the cup. The four slots around the perimeter of the poacher are helpful for removing the poacher from the pan. Insert the tines of a fork into the slot and lift the poacher that way. The middle knob gets very hot and will burn bare fingers; use suitable protection. The instructions offered by D.W. are very good!

Yes, that should work. I like soft boiled and I cook for 4 minutes in simmering water with a lid. You could just cook longer for solid yokes and whites.

how many eggs can be poached in the little white bowl. I want to be able to make 2 and make them into an omelette if I wish. I've seen infomercials where an egg cooker has the boiler,a 2 section egg poacher and the a little white bowl which serves as the omelette bowl. The Dash/Go is like that but it isn't prime elgable. What is the egg capacity of the white bowl. I want room to put some veggies and cheese to make a yummy healthy omelette.
