I have purchased a Nutri-Q 34360 Healthy Eating Egg Boiler:
How does it work? - The eggs are cooked through hot steam. The instructions will guide you on the amount of water that is required depending on the quantity of eggs.
It comes with a little measuring cylinder for the amount of water to add which has gradations that look something like:
Hard boiled
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6/7
Medium
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6/7
Soft
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6/7
I understand why more water is required to hard boil eggs compared to medium cooked eggs (they need to be cooked longer).
However, I don't understand the gradations within each range (the number of eggs to be cooked).
Why does, for example, cooking 1 medium egg require more steam than cooking 3 medium eggs? Surely it should be the other way around?
Can someone enlighten me?
