That's idiocy... in a carton of a dozen large eggs all will be a
slightly different size/weight, no two will be exactly alike.
Each egg cooker will cook at slightly different times, even the same
brand and model... with a new appliance it's a no-brainer to
experiment... learning an egg cooker is no different from learning a
microwave oven. Times given in the users manual are at best
estimates. And your Voltage varies at different times during the day.
In some areas Voltage varies substantially. especially when everyone
is home preparing breakfast and again when people arrive home from
work and are turning on electric appliances. My APC battery back up
has a Voltage meter on at all times, Voltage will normally be 120
Volts but there are 5 Volt swings often, swings between 115 Volts and
125 Volts.
