At what setting do you scramble or fry eggs? Do you preheat the pan? And, what setting is good for simmering beans, soups, etc?

I lovemy cook top when it worked - I have been trying to Fagor to repair mine for over a year - worse customer service I have ever seen. Simmer would be a lower setting, just so the liquid is still bubbleing a little bit. I would only preheat pan for eggs about 15 - 20 seconds on a medium to med-high setting as the pan get hot quickly. The products cooks great and heats quickly (if it is working). Trial and error will get you thereI really loved the conducton cooking but am frustrated with Fagor - hope your never breaks.

I generally only pre-heat a pan for maybe ten seconds, and I do eggs on medium (5 or 6). for soups, etc, I start at 7 or 8 then reduce to 3 or 4

for poaching eggs. they are basically steam cooked. usually considered a healthier alternative to frying. however, the cups that are placed in the holes usually are lubricated with butter or non-stick cooking spray. the pan will have water in it, then the 5 hole utility rack, then the lubricated cups. once water is at a slow boil and cups are warm, put a raw egg in each cup. cover and cook for a few minutes. using caution not to burn yourself...dump the cooked eggs onto your plate. enjoy!

No, there were no instructions at all. Found out for our small microwave one egg cooked at 45 seconds to a minute and two eggs cooked at 1 1/2 to 2 minutes depending on add ins such as meat and cheese. It also does well with no spray, butter, or oil added but I usually use just a tiny bit on Pam or something like that. I always scramble the eggs, if you leave them whole watch to cooking times because the yolk can burst and spatter if left in too long.

I am sure they have. I use the BCD soon tofu starter. In that case 5 oz. of water are put into the bowl, and it is slowly heated per bowl instruction. Once the water is to boiling, the sauce is added, and then other ingredients of your choice. The temperature can be raised to whatever you desire as long as there is a warmup period. For this recipe I then add the very soft tofu, and let the mix really heat up. The final is to break the egg into the soup and let it cook. Then it can be served. So everything can be cooked in the bowl if you start with something in it and start the heating low. I have not done any dolsot bibimbap in it yet. They give simple directions about lightly oiling the bowl and heating it properly. It is great for the soon toful

I usually preheat cast iron pans (Medium or Low heat for about 5-10 minutes). Then things like pancakes cook fast and correct.

I, like you, also use kala namak. I find that the Vegg is better suited to French toast and "dippy" eggs. I still use kala namak for a regular tofu scramble but Vegg for the items above as well as overnight breakfast casserole. I am really happy with the Vegg for baking as well. It adds a nice eggy flavor that ener-g egg replacer does not.

I don't use the default settings, but rather use times recommended in instruction booklet. When I've encountered undercooked product, I just add a few more minutes manually. I've noticed differences in degree cooked, tho using same type of bean, from one product name to the other; also notice differences with changes of ambient temp & humidity. Be sure you're using amount of water recommended in the instruction booklet, and don't forget to add the oil... Hope this helps.

Fred, check out the Stone Wave here on Amazon. My husband uses it a few times a week. He uses it for steamed eggs and makes scrambles for me. Stone Wave Micro Cooker

I use olive oil and medium to low heat on things that might stick. I do not make eggs in them...they will stick. My son does though and he says it is OK. I use higher heat on anything that will not stick, like sautéed onions, mushrooms and so on. I like these pans for making soup and vegetables.

It is always good to soak your beans before cooking. I boil the beans in water, just for a minute, turn off the fire, leaving the pot covered the whole time, and leave those beans for an hour or several. Then wash them well and cook them in the bean cooker.

I put 1 cup of steel cut oats, 3 1/2 cups water, a little salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in at bedtime and set the timer for about an hour before I get up using the "soup" setting. (As I understand it, "soup" cooks at a lower temp but longer than the white rice setting.)Good stuff in the morning with milk and brown sugar.

I love the Vegg! I use extra firm tofu and add the Vegg in during cooking to make a tofu scramble. I also slice tofu kind of thin and sprinkle the Vegg on each side with a little salt and pepper and fry that up (kind of like a fried egg) and make a breakfast sandwich with that and whatever you would like with it (meat free sausage or fake bacon). My husband really likes it that way. Good luck!

I have used egg whites, just be sure not to use more than 1/4 cup and cook for the full 5 minutes.

Hi Jane,I just put 1/2 tablespoon of water (and a small dab of margarine ) in each of the 4 cups.Then I break the eggs and put one of them in each of the 4 cups.Then I put the lid on it and microwave it (on high power) for 90 seconds.Then I remove the eggs from their cups and eat them!Delicious! :-)

Yes. You want to use a little butter or some type of oil. Make sure you use low-to-medium heat, and just the right amount of heat so that the eggs cook but not so much that it will scorch the eggs. You may have to play around with the heat settings to find out the right amount for your stove and this pan.

Add a little bit of water to pan while it is heating and your egg will not stick. Good luck.

I place a small amount of water in the pan, maybe 1/2 inch. I then add a bit of butter or Pam in each cup,spread evenly around the cup. Then I put one fresh egg in each cup. I like to add fresh pepper and sea salt. Sometimes a few sprinkles of bacon bits. Then I put cup insert with eggs in the pan and then cover. Bring the water to a boil. Usually eggs are cooked for 4 minutes or more depending on how hard you want them. You do need to experiment with timing to your own taste. Sometimes I turn off before time I want and let steam finish the eggs. Hopefully that helps.
