West Bend egg and muffin maker. The water leaks out of the bottom when making eggs. I've had to fill the measuring cup to the top just to get soft eggs. What can I do?

Here are the amounts - in teaspoons of water:

Soft Boiled Eggs
4 tsp 6 soft
5 tsp 5 soft
6 tsp 3 soft
7 tsp 1 soft

Medium Boiled Eggs
7 tsp 7 med
8 tsp 6 med
9 tsp 5 med
10 tsp 3 med
11 tsp 2 med
12 tsp 1 med

Hard Boiled Eggs
14 tsp 7 hard
15 tsp 6 hard
17 tsp 5 hard
18 tsp 4 hard
20 tsp 3 hard
21 tsp 2 hard
23 tsp 1 hard

2 EGGS PLUS WATER = 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (not all recipes in the manual
use eggs, but all do use 2 teaspoons of oil which would be included as part of
the liquid. For recipes using an egg or eggs, put the oil and egg(s) in the
measuring cup then add water to total 3/4 cup)

ALL WATER = 2/3
cup

ALL EGGS = 1 cup

2 EGGS PLUS WATER = 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (not all recipes in the manual
use eggs, but all do use 2 teaspoons of oil which would be included as part of
the liquid. For recipes using an egg or eggs, put the oil and egg(s) in the
measuring cup then add water to total 3/4 cup)

ALL WATER = 2/3

ALL EGGS = 1 cup

Decide if you want soft, medium or hard boiled.

pick the correct scale, and fill to the the number of eggs you have in the cooker, 1 requires more water than 7 because the eggs sit partly in the water. The "timer" is based upon the evaporation of the water over time, the fewer eggs, the less displacement in the water pool, but also easier for water vapor to escape.

Ignore the instruction manual. Instead look at the measuring cup that comes with your Hyundai PLU 247959 (produced and sold under license by Poundstretcher).
On the side of the measuring cup, you can see three clusters of marks:1. 25 to 40 ml for soft-boiled eggs (symbol of egg with two horizontal lines)2. 45 to 60 ml for medium boiled eggs (symbol of egg with one horizontal line)3. 65 to 80 ml for hard boiled eggs (symbol of egg)
Egg boilers are based on the principle that the larger the volume to be heated is, the less water is required. In other words, you will need to add less water for boiling seven eggs, and more water for boiling one or two eggs.
Which means that for seven eggs to soft boil, add 25 ml; and for one egg to soft boil, add 40 ml. If you look at the markings, you'll notice that on the vertical line between 40 and 25 ml, there are seven equidistant horizontal lines, each showing the amount of water required for the various quantities of eggs.
One egg = fill with water up to the 40 ml markTwo eggs = fill up to the mark below the 40 ml markThree eggs = fill up to the second mark below the 40 ml markFour eggs = fill up to the third mark below the 40 ml mark etc, untilSeven eggs = fill up to the 25 ml mark
Medium boiled and hard boiled eggs are measured in similar ways. Works every time for me. Nice little egg boiler, by the way.

Here is the manual/instructions. Happy Cooking!

Yes! West Bend apparently now owns Back to Basics; you can order replacement pans from http://www.westbend.com/finditem.cfm?itemid=3733

The flour cup is 1 cup. You need two of those.

Here is the basic recipe:

2 cups flour. Slowly add from the fluid cup:

2 eggs
1 tbs oil
fill to top of the cup with water

Or...

4 eggs
1 tbs oil
you won't need water.

Mix for two minutes and the mix should look like small granules. Take some and squeeze. They should stay together like cookie dough. switch to extrude and make the pasta of your dream.

I would add: Dry by hanging or in the oven at 170F, flipping occasionally.

To use the egg side only, fill the measuring cup with the correct amounts of water. (One side is for boiled eggs, one is for poached eggs.) Pour the water into the basin at the bottom. For boiled- Place 1-4 eggs in the tray with the four holes. Use the sharp thing at the bottom of the measuring cup to pierce the egg shell. Place the lid over top, and hit the 'egg' button. When the light on the button goes out, remove the lid. For poached, grease the pan. Spray/ butter, whatever. DO NOT rely on the non-stick. The thick black tray for boiling eggs goes on first. With the egg in the greased pan (scrambled or whole) place the pan into the unit. There are four plastic pieces in the boiling tray to show you where it goes, the handles aligned. The round tray, with the square holes in it, can be used to warm pre-cooked meat.This is optional, and that tray goes on top. Place the lid over the top, and press 'egg'.

WARNING: this cooks by steam, and any remainder can cause burns. Be careful when removing the lid. Same goes for the product. The boiled eggs should not be touched directly.

To make an egg sandwich, load the egg side and the bread/english muffin/bagel into the toaster. Press the 'egg/toast' button BEFORE starting the toaster. The toaster will start on a timer so that the egg and toast will be done at the same time. When the toast pops up, you are good to go.

Note: there should be no water afterwards, maybe a little oil if you cooked meat. Hard water residue is easily removed with vineger and a paper towel.
