2 TM Place eggs in tap water, add a heaping teaspoon of salt. Make sure eggs are completely covered with water. Bring water to a full boil and then continue to boil for 6-8 minutes! After boiling eggs carefully pour off the hot water and run cold water over eggs, then... 1 Place eggs immediately in ICE WATER for 10 minutes before Eggstraction. Tap small end of egg several times on the piercer located on the Eggstractor base. Make sure that you pierce through the inner layer of skin between shell and egg white.

3 Piercer on Eggstractor Base Make sure that you pierce through the inner layer of skin between shell and egg white. Crack the large end by tapping on table a couple of times. Make sure you fully crack large end of egg. Don t be timid! Make sure the small end of egg is facing upward when you place in base of Eggstractor. Place egg in base small end pointed upwards (fat end in base). Place Eggstractor over egg. Criss cross hands over the top of the Eggstractor and give one good fast push. If egg does not pop out on the first try make sure you realign the egg upright position before trying again. The Eggstactor is fun for the whole family. It may take you a couple tries to get the hang of it, so if the first time your eggs don t come out perfectly take a breather and give it another try. We guarantee you ll get it right, just make sure you follow the Eggstructions Eggsactly! If you follow the Eggstructions Eggsactly you will be an Eggspert Eggstractor! And remember, practice makes perfect! 2

4 The most important part of your Eggstraction SUCCESS is to make sure you place eggs into ICE WATER immediately after boiling for 10 minutes before Eggstraction! Egg popped out but the bottom half of egg broke off = The large end of the egg was probably cracked too much. When cracking the bottom part of the egg, tap it more carefully so the actual egg white (inside of egg) does not rupture. Try again! Egg popped out but completely exploded = Most likely too much pressure was applied when pushing down on the Eggstractor. Another possibility is that the egg was not in the upright position. If you push down on the Eggstractor while your egg is laying on its side you will destroy your egg. Try again! Egg will not pop out = It is likely that not enough pressure was created when you pushed down on the Eggstractor. This sometimes happens if you have already used the Eggstractor a couple of times, the accordion looking part (bellows) gets squished together. If this happens, simply stretch it apart again. Then place back over egg and give it one good hard push. Try again! Only the center of the egg pops out = Cool down period too short. Make sure to leave eggs in ICE WATER for a minimum of 10 minutes! Try again! Egg popped out but shell is still on = One of the following factors may have caused this; the egg was too small, the egg was not in upright position, the hole you pierced in the small end of the egg was too small or the inner skin of the egg was not pierced. Try again! TIP: Do not over cook your eggs: If you cook your eggs more than 8 minutes, the egg hardens and is more difficult to Eggstract. What size Egg to use = For best results use Large or Extra Large Eggs only. 3

11 Omelet-Plain Three eggs are usually required to make an omelet for one person. Beat 3 eggs with a fork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Beat until the eggs can pass through the fork without sticking to it. Melt 2 teaspoons of fat or butter or butter substitute in a hot frying pan. Pour in the eggs. Stir with a fork, at the same time shaking the pan until the eggs start to set, carefully lifting the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked portion to run underneath to be cooked. When the eggs are set, fold over and serve. Additional ingredients can be added to the eggs before beating, or placed in the center of the omelet before folding. In the latter case, the ingredients should be heated first. Omelet Puff 1 egg 1 tablespoon milk Salt Beat yolk until thick, add milk and mix well. Add a few grains of salt to the white, and beat until stiff. Fold the yolk mixture into the white, and turn into a hot oiled frying pan. Put into the oven and bake until barely set; while it is still in the pan, turn one half of the omelet over the other half by slipping a knife under one side and turning it over the other section. Invert on a hot platter and serve at once. Bread Omelet Make the same as omelet puff, except that 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs are added after being moistened with cold milk to soften. Add the softened crumbs to the beaten yolk, and fold into the beaten white. Bake the same as omelet puff. Plain Puffy Omelet 4 eggs 4 tablespoons hot water Butter Beat egg whites until stiff. Beat yolks until thick and lemon colored; beat into them the hot water and add salt and pepper. Cut and fold together the yolks and stiffly beaten whites. Melt enough butter in an omelet pan to grease the bottom and sides of the pan. Turn the egg mixture into the pan and cook over a low fire until it is puffy and a light brown underneath, then place in the oven until the top is dry. Touch the top of the omelet lightly with the finger and if the egg does not stick to the finger the omelet is done. Do not overcook or it will shrink or be tough. Puffy Omelet With Leftovers 1/4 cup (or even less) of cold, cooked peas, string beans, asparagus tips, mushrooms, chicken, ham, fish, oysters, lobster, etc., stirred into cream, tomato, or Bechamel sauce, are all admissible for adding flavor and juiciness, as well as bulk, to a puffy omelet. On account of the air beaten into the eggs, a puffy omelet presents a braver appearance than does the French omelet, made of the same number of eggs; also the knack of making it successfully is easily acquired. To avoid heating the oven, manage in this way: Two stove lids are required. When the omelet is set, place the lid over the pan, which should not be too shallow, letting it rest on the edge of the pan, then set the other lid over the fire with the omelet upon it. Do not have the upper lid too hot. Plain French Omelet 6 eggs 2 tablespoons butter Beat the eggs just enough to mix the whites and yolks, and add salt and pepper. Heat butter in an omelet pan, pour a little of it into the beaten eggs and allow the remainder to get hot. Turn the eggs into the pan and as the mixture cooks on the bottom and sides, prick it with a fork so that the egg on top will penetrate the cooked surface, and run under the sides. The work must be done quickly and carefully so that the eggs are not all stirred up like scrambled eggs. While the eggs are still soft, but slightly thickened, fold over, let stand a few minutes until brown, and turn on to a hot dish. 10
