Eggssentials Egg Poacher Insert Stainless Steel Poached Egg Cooker Eggs Poaching Cup PFOA Free Egg Poachers Nonstick, 7.25" Rack Compatible with Current Cookware, Skillets & Instant Pots

I’ve only used this once as I don’t make hollandaise sauce very often but it’s easy to use and works great 👍 I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it for single use as it’s a two egg poacher. Great value and easy to store due to the size.

Love this . Easy to use and eggs come out perfect.

I prefer my poached eggs to have a completely runny but warm yolk and have the white set as much as possible. I've tried a large variety of other egg poachers from here on Amazon, but this is the nicest one I've used so far. My wife is pleased that I cleared out all the past failed experiments from our cabinets. I got the six-egg version. In hindsight, the max eggs I make at once is four, so the set of four probably would have been sufficient. Now I have two extra cups in case anything happens to the rest. Speaking of the cups, they do work wonderfully for XL and even jumbo eggs, which was always a problem with my previous poachers. I use mostly XL eggs, sometimes L. The cups have a nonstick coating but without any fat/oil they have a weak grip on the cooked egg that can tear it as the egg comes out. A tiny dab of room-temp butter on my fingertip is enough to run it around the bottom and sides of all the cups. The thinnest of coatings is all I need, and when cooked the eggs will just slide right out. Then I crack each egg into its cup. I have to be careful to distribute the weight properly; I made the mistake once of not paying attention which four sites I used in the six-rack and the whole rack swung like a hammock and dumped the eggs on the counter. Oops. I'm still experimenting with recipes, but I'm using a 12" skillet with a lid. For four eggs, I put only about 1 cm of water into the skillet and bring it to a full boil over high heat. I take the lid of just long enough to put the egg poacher in place, and then leave it covered on high heat for 3 min, 45 sec (L) or 4 min (XL). Then I remove the skillet from the heat, remove the lid from the skillet, and let the poacher sit untouched in the water for another 90 seconds. At this point, the eggs are ready to be removed from the cups. The knobs are still too hot to touch, and too small for tongs or an oven mitt or even a silicone grip. I have found a paper towel folded a few times works great for my hands. I put a utensil on the top of the cup to keep the egg from leaping out, and tilt it to the side to drain off any water that fell into the cup from the lid. Then I can transfer the cooked egg to plating. I have a hard time controlling the flip of the egg, it comes out upside down half of the time. The egg will finish the cook as the temperature equalizes and then cools. Normally I use the dishwasher for everything, but I've been handwashing these cups. They feel very thin and I'm a bit worried about the dishwasher eating away the nonstick. Fortunately I have a palm brush that lets me suds them in one motion, and then a quick rinse. I let them dry in their own rack in the cabinet.

Works well for poached eggs

It makes the perfect Poached egg. Easy to make and clean up is super simple! Egg white is on your plate not going down your drain.

This was perfect for my needs, I don’t have to find space to store another pan and lid, just use one I already have, stores away easily. It poached eggs perfectly. Very pleased.

I just tested this out today and everything went well. I put a little oil in the cups and the eggs released easily when done. The insert fit perfectly in an old pot I had from a set that I had gotten rid of, but I saved this one because it had such an usual shape. Now I can keep the insert permanently in this pot, since I don't use it for anything else. After I ordered this, I read some of the lower star reviews and was alarmed at how many people complained about the Teflon lining flaking off. So I made sure to turn the poached eggs over to inspect them, but they seemed to be fine. The cups were fine as well. The cups are a little hot when removing, but I grabbed them quickly and it was okay. I also have a pair of tongs I can use if I don't want to touch them at all. This seems to be a good set, but anytime you use a coated metal, you have to be careful.

This is so easy to use and does a great job on poached eggs, as well as hard and soft boiled without needing to shell after cooking. I have backyard chickens and was looking for another way to have my eggs. This is it! So delicious!

Génial ! J'ai pu l'utiliser en faisant un gratin avec des œufs de cailles poché !

Cooks eggs unevenly.

Los tiempos indicados son orientativos pero cuando se le pilla el punto, salen perfectos. Buen producto.

Un de mes meilleurs achats sur Amazon ! J’ai également acheté un petit faitout avec couvercle juste à la bonne taille ! En 4 minutes mes œufs sont nickels et se démoulent très bien !!! Je recommande ce produit à 200 pour cent !!!!!

Antes usaba moldes de silicona, estos son más fáciles de usar y limpiar
