Egg Poacher Microwavable, Egg Steam with Measure Cup Dishwashable, Egg Maker Poached Egg Steamer Kitchen Gadget

I own three different microwave poached egg cookers, 2 of this design and one nordic ware that's a few years old. The nordic works ok but has an annoying tendency that the lid pops open during cook which tends to create a mess in the microwave. Most microwave products recommend that you break the egg yolk before cooking but this model does not suggest breaking the yolks which is one reason I think it works better. Very simple to use. 1-put cold water in each cup (50ml measure included but it's about half of the cup volume), 2-crack the egg (unit has a little ridge on it just to whack the egg on to crack it), 3-Put on cover and cook. Cook time can vary by microwave, instructions are 90 seconds for an 800w microwave, most kitchen microwaves are a thousand watts these days so start at 70-75 seconds till you find the perfect time for your oven. If only cooking one egg, be sure you put water in the other section. If you wanted to you could put a bit of seasoning in the water or just wait till it's cooked to add seasonings. This unit is hefty enough that when it's done cooking it won't be blazing hot so you can easily lift it out of the microwave. If you wanted to make multiples you could use more than one unit at the same time (I frequently cook four eggs at once, adding about 35 seconds for the second unit) depending on your oven you may want to add a little more time my microwave has a turntable some don't, it can affect cook time. Very satisfied with this unit may even add a third one for those rare times I have guests or just hanker for a bunch of eggs. You can cook from runny poached to hard boiled very easily and since you remove the shell before cooking no more picking bits of shell off your breakfast before you can eat it. Egg comes out of the water easily because the cups come out of the cooker and drain it after cooking. Cleaning just takes a second by hand or top shelf dishwasher should be fine (it's rather thick plastic). Comment: Just wanted to comment that "for whatever reason" this thing seems to work a lot better with extra large eggs than just large. The two cups cook to the same doneness instead of one coming out noticeably less cooked (i.e. runny). No clue what might cause this phenomena.

This thing is amazing! Works perfectly. Pic shown is my first attempt. Great design, lid fits just right, easy to clean, comes with a tiny measuring cup for the water and has a built-in egg cracker (cute). Highly recommend.

So far this is the best egg poacher I have had. You do need to test the timing as they suggest since all of us prefer different egg consistency. I started with the water measured as suggested in the cups, then added the two eggs (I like the egg breaker that is included) and put it on high in the microwave for 45 seconds. Then continued to increased it by 15 seconds...found out my liking calls for 90 seconds. Suggest maybe less if you like a runnier yolk. The eggs just drop out of the cups with ease once you drain the water. And clean-up is also easy since it is made of silicone materials (no BPA). Very pleased with the results...especially for the price!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Works well but doesn't stop the egg exploding in microwave. 30seconds gives a cooked egg though. Quick!

Easy egg poaching, gotta love it! Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store.

Wow, talk about suck!! This piece of plastic is a complete waste of time & $$$ UNLESS YOU WISH TO COOK HARD BOILED EGGS!! No joke - we have a lousy 900 watt microwave, its SO weak, I call it our "easy-bake microwave" ok? I buy this to POACH eggs, I follow the instructions -2 minutes for attempt #1- tho no explosion until out of microwave, both eggs had hard boiled yolks so, I cut the time - jeez! I used 10 eggs adjusting the cooking time each & every attempt - all I got were hard yolks. Look at the sellers "how to" video & pay close attention to the end when they show ya the "payoff" - a perfectly poached egg? NO! Even in their video the end product has a mostly hard yolk- NOT like a true poached egg. Now if hard boiled is your thing, by all means BUY THIS!!

This is a great egg poacher. Takes no time in the microwave.

This made two perfect poached eggs. So easy, no mess. About 70 seconds in my microwave! I recommend this item!

Good

I now use this item about 3 times a week. no more butter. follow the instructions and yours eggs will come out perfect. You have to know the power of your microwaves.
