Egg Poacher Cups (4 Pack) With Base Ring for Air Fryer, Pot, Microwave – Premium-Grade Silicone Egg Poachers – BPA-Free Easy-Release Poach Pods, Poached Egg Maker Set: Cooker, Boiler Steamer

After several months and after finding these to be a good way to poach eggs I purchased a second set to give to my daughter. Used correctly these work. I found that the cups worked as good as if not better than a poaching pan when a) the cups were slightly greased before putting the egg in (this you must do with the egg holder of a pan) b) the cup is just resting on the bottom of a pan in water and on the point of floating on the water c) The pan has a pan lid - without a pan lid the egg will not poach - all poaching pans have pan lids so this is not a surprising requirement. d) The water is not boiled vigorously. The water needs to be steaming and at boiling point not burbling and being over-boiled If you vigorously boil the water it will boil/splash over into the poaching cup and on to the top of the egg. In a poaching pan the water is separated from the top of the egg holder by the holder shelf but even in a poaching pan the water does not need to boil vigorously. Do this and your egg will poach NOTE I like my eggs poached hard. The above works for that. I cannot comment on soft poached eggs. The poached eggs are not always slippy loose in these cups but can be easily removed whole by skimming a knife blade around the perimeter to loosen the suction. - this is the same as when using a poaching pan, often the egg is not slippy loose in the pans cup and needs to be teased out of the poaching pan cup. So there is no difference between these and a poaching pan An advantage of these cups is that 1) you can cook as many or as few eggs as you need - with a poaching pan often they have 4 cups and to poach properly all 4 cups must be in place. 2) if you are careful you can poach an egg in the same pan as you are cooking some other thing (in water naturally) - provided of course you put a lid on the pan. I have cooked rice and poached an egg at the same time by carefully floating the cup in the water. The cups wash well in a dishwasher. When putting in a dishwasher I found turning the cups inside out facilitated cleaning.

Excellent, very simple and do the job perfectly. 5 minutes once the water starts to boil and you get perfect poached eggs.

Finally, after years of trying different ways to cook a decent poached egg, I've come across these brilliant little gadgets. So simple to use, just grease the insides with a little oil, pop the egg into these bright coloured silicon pockets which the grandchildren love choosing. Place them into a pan in about an inch of boiling water, pop a lid on and wait a few minutes. Perfect eggs, easy to get out and really easy to clean. Fabulous. Definitely recommend . Great next next delivery.

Bought these to replace my rather old hard plastic microwave egg poacher (which now is primarily useful only as an egg exploder), and I thought I would try them on the hob first. After 10 minutes of boiling, the eggs were only around 2/3rds cooked, so I lost patience and put them in the microwave to finish them off. No egg explosions (improvement) but the eggs were a little stuck to the silicone moulds on removal. Otherwise cooked fine. If you are using a pan, save the faff (and time) and just boil the eggs. Item works, but a little less effectively as maybe the ad may suggest.

With a little trial and error these things work great. I use the tiniest amount of oil to coat the insides, crack the eggs in to them whilst you bring a pan with about 5cm /2inches of water to boil. Take it off the heat and place the poacher in the water and cover for about 5 minutes. Perfect every time, and easy to get in and out of the water without burning yourself, and also make sure you have enough space in your pan don’t overcrowd it! 10/10 stick with those instructions and you’re onto a winner !

Egg Poacher Cups (4 Pack) With Base Ring I was hopeful these would make poaching eggs easier, but eggs tended to stick to the sides and the result was more like boiled eggs without shells. Pros: • Convenient size and design Cons: • Eggs stick, making cleaning difficult • Results not true poached eggs Eventually discarded due to lack of use

These are brilliant. For years I have been getting messy and poor results from a sauce pan and these made it easy, Now I only need a small amount of water and no vinegar. The first time I made 2 eggs in a small saucepan, they were perfect at 6 mins, runny in the middle and the white was cooked through well, I did forget to put the oil in, they came out ok with a spoon but I did have to clean off small bits of egg stuck to the cup. The second time I made 4 eggs in a large lower sided sauté pan, these eggs did take longer, about 7.5 mins to cook through, but again perfect eggs. I remembered the oil this time and they didn't stick to the cup. You don't need very much oil, just put a small amount on kitchen paper and rub around the cup.

Great little egg poachers these. I rate them but knocked one star off for a slight annoyance. I feel they could be a little bigger or deeper as occasionally if you say like an extra large egg you can spill a tiny bit of egg in the water. Quick tip if you do. Get the eggs out and start all over again with your water otherwise it will ruin you eggs. I also recommend using a spray oil in these before cooking your eggs too to stop with any sticking. Use a lid on your pan too.. Otherwise great product and I would buy them again.

It is an easy way to have an egg benedict, with a nice looking. My wife like it.

I use these egg poaching cups at least a couple time a week. Even without butter or cooking spray, the egg comes out quite easily. The silicone is nice and sturdy and the bottom ring is quite large compared to others I've owned. These stay standing up in the pot and do not add any tastes to the eggs. I'm really happy with the poachers they were really cheap and work really well.

These were great. I bought 8 of them. We experimented with olive oil in some and cooking spray in others. The cooking spray worked perfectly. The olive oil was acceptable as well, but a wee bit stickier. I also liked that these create eggs that are a little bit wider than the kind you get out of one of those pans made for poached eggs (that's what I was replacing.) These fit an english muffin a little better than those other types. I am very happy and would buy them again if I needed more. Also great to not have a single use pan taking up a bunch of space in my cabinets.

Buon prodotto. Facile da usare.
