I received no instructions. How much water do you put in the bottom?

Although it is difficult to see, there is a line that encircles the inside of the bottom half that says water level. Microwave for 10 min. I am sure that Nordic Ware would be more than happy to send you an instruction leaflet if requested.

If you look closely there is a fill line in the bottom of the egg. You have to experiment with power setting and cooking time. I found cooking to fast they sometimes crack. I have a big microwave and set to power 7 for 11 minutes and I get perfect eggs every time. Oh... and I always start with cold water.

1. Remove aluminum insert from the plastic base of the egg boiler, you should see the "water fill" line, it is faint, if you do not see it the measure is 1 1/2 cups of water. 2. Replace the aluminum insert and place 1 -4 eggs in the cups (you do not need to pierce the egg shell). 3. Replace the plastic top so that it snaps shut and place in the microwave. Microwave on high - soft boiled: 5-6 minutes, medium boiled: 6-7 minutes, hard boiled: 8-9 minutes. Microwaves vary to times may vary. 4. After microwaving eggs, allow egg boiler cool for 2 minutes before removing the cover. Briefly run cool water over the eggs to stop further cooking. 5. Cleaning: hand wash or dishwasher top rack. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads. 6. This item should only be used in a microwave.

There is a line around the top of the bottom part, not very clear but you can still find it. It is about 80% the height of the bottom part.

not far below the metal insert is a thin plastic ridge, you'll need good light to see it, but you should be able to feel it with your fingertips.i find 9 minutes in the zapper is right and the shells come off easily and completely. they also make a great gift.

There is a fill line in the bottom section, but I don't think it really matters. You just need enough to make steam for the 6 or 7 minutes of cook time.

The directions call for 1 tsp of vegetable base to 1 cup of water. Hope that helps.

I just put about 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of mine and let it sit on the counter- the water leaked out in about 15 minutes. This is a very thin cooler - great size but not anything I would use for anything longer than maybe a quick trip home from the store or something.

Are you adding enough water? I find that if I don't add enough water I get no steam otherwise it works great!! I hope I don't offend you but are you pulling the trigger?

I never found instructions either. I have had the product a year and I believe, I had to go to the hardware store and buy the connection which is a female connection to the unit and a female connection to your hose. This connection is one unit and was not hard to find. There are two inlets on the back and you should be filling the unit via the one on top. I never figured a way for the foot nozzle not to leak so I tightened it to its watertight point which means it now faces up nearly 180 degrees from where it should be in order to be useful.

After seeing other answers that were given, I used a set of measuring cups and was able to put in 12 ounces of water. The level came to about 1/2 inch of the top.

I followed the instructions that were included, there are several sizes. I filled mine about half full and then repeated , hope this helps.

No instructions included, but that is exactly what I do. I use a double boiler. Check pinterest for recipes and directions.

I believe there in instructions on how to do this included. We currently just pour water in as needed. We are pleased with this product!

No instructions? Wow! If you had gotten them, you would have found them a bit funny; the translations are a bit strange English. Accompanying the unit, there should have been a small filler container. This should be filled with tap water up to about two thirds volume. Add to this, two or three drops of an essential oil. Open the unit by grasping the base and twisting the decorated top counter clockwise. Pour the liquid from the small container into the receptacle in the unit and return the top. There are two black dots at the base of each. When these lineup up, the unit is properly closed. To start the process, press on the left button near the bottom of the unit. Press several times until a blue red or green light comes on. When the light is on, press and hold the right button. A small light will come on at the 30 minute point. Press the button again and choose 30 minutes, 60 minutes or the other two. When you let go, the fogging should start. Experiment with this process if need be. Just remember, do not tilt the unit while there is water inside it. To change to another scent, discard any small amount of liquid remaining inside the unit, wipe it out with some tissue or cloth. Clean the filler cup thoroughly. Enjoy.

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

No instructions. I looked on you tube. There are a lot of people showing how to do it.

There are instructions, but basically just fill it up with wood and water, then let it run for a couple of hours

I have the same question. It seems like the 1:2 ratio (rice ; water) doesn't work. There was a mess of steamed out water around. It's weird there is no clear instruction in the instructions.

Mine didn't have instructions either. I just broke two eggs into the poacher dish. I used the "medium" water level and they came out very well.

I have yet to figure it out myself! The instructions that come with are not helpful at all!

In the bottom metal part, do not over fill, use about 1/2 inch. Also go on line and ask for directions.
