The egg cookers are suitable for boiling the eggs while you focus on other chores around the house. On the contrary, Krups egg cooker problems can impact the texture of the eggs.

Krups Egg Cooker Problems
1) Water Is Oozing Out
Krups egg cooker uses water to boil the eggs but if the water starts oozing out, it can result in undercooked eggs. This is because it won’t have enough water to boil the eggs properly. The water oozing out of the egg cooker can be caused by broken or cracked eggs. It happens when the eggs are broken or cracked while the unit is switched on. It generally happens when the eggshell is too thin or when you press the shell excessively hard. So, be mindful about the eggshell and how you press it.
The second reason behind water oozing out of the egg cooker is the incorrect piercing of the egg. You must remember that the narrow and thin side of the egg isn’t poked because it faces upwardly. That being said, you must change the egg position in the unit and it will help reduce the chances of water leaking.
The third reason might be the excessive amount of water in the egg cooker. Krups egg cooker is designed with the measurement points, so you’ve to consider it to ensure water doesn’t flow out. In addition, the amount of water depends on the consistency of the egg that you want. Still, if the water is too much, just shut off the unit and reduce the amount of water.
The last reason behind the water oozing out can be because of the incorrect placement of the lower cooking rack in the egg cooker. Keep in mind that you will have to reposition the cooking rack to stop the overflowing of water. For this purpose, simply remove the lid and ensure proper placement (do shut off the egg cooker before you play with the lid and rack).
2) Overcooked Eggs
The eggs will be overcooked when you cook eggs for a longer time or if you don’t select the correct temperature. The best thing is to chill the eggs in the fridge because it helps improve the texture and consistency of the eggs (using room-temperature eggs is the biggest mistake). Secondly, don’t cook the eggs for too long and disconnect the unit from power as soon as the cooking cycle buzzes off. Also, you can place the boiled eggs in cold water or fridge because it prevents further cooking.
3) Water Bubbling From The Top Of The Egg Cooker
In addition to water oozing out from the egg cooker, some customers also complain about water bubbling from the egg cooker’s top. For the most part, this isn’t an issue because when the water is heated in the unit, it can result in water bubbles. However, it will never impact the eggs or their texture, so you don’t need to worry about anything. Still, some people don’t like water bubbling, so for that, just switch off the unit and clean the rims. As a result, the bubble won’t appear much.
4) The Bottom Is Stained
Krups egg cooker looks amazing but no one will want the bottom to be stained, but if there is some staining, it’s pretty easy to clean up. To begin with, the stains are caused by the tap water since there are bad elements in tap water. That being said, it’s pretty obvious that distilled water can be used for preventing staining on the bottom.
On the other hand, if the Krups egg cooker’s bottom already has stains, vinegar is your best friend. This is because white vinegar plays an important role in cleaning off stains. Also, the egg cooker must be switched off before you wipe cloth and vinegar on the unit. Last but not least, always wipe everything dry because moisture can result in electric shocks.
