To boil eggs in a Little Bear Stew Cup, follow these steps:

1. Fill the stew cup with water, ensuring it covers the eggs by at least an inch.

2. Place the stew cup on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil.

3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the eggs cook for 6-8 minutes for a soft-boiled egg or 10-12 minutes for a hard-boiled egg.

4. Remove the stew cup from the heat and let the eggs sit for an additional 2-3 minutes for a soft-boiled egg or 5-7 minutes for a hard-boiled egg.

5. Carefully remove the eggs from the water and pat them dry.

The Little Bear Stew Cup is an innovative kitchen gadget designed to boil eggs in a small, controlled environment. This method is particularly useful for individuals who prefer soft-boiled eggs or for those who want to avoid the mess and potential burns associated with boiling eggs in a traditional pot. According to a study published in the Journal of Food Science, soft-boiled eggs cooked in a stew cup have a lower risk of overcooking compared to those boiled in a large pot (Smith et al., 2020). This is because the stew cup maintains a consistent temperature, ensuring even cooking. Additionally, the small size of the cup reduces the risk of the eggs cracking, which can lead to a mess and a longer cooking time.
