OXO Good Grips 2-Piece Silicone Egg Poacher Set

Does a great job - makes life a bit simpler and very tasty poached eggs!

Poaches eggs well but they are quite big Requiring a large saucepan for two

At last an egg poacher that really works. Perfect poached eggs every time. Brilliant

Not as effective as the demonstrations will have you believe. But they do work after a little practice.

These certainly do help with the whole poaching thing. Granted, you don't get a perfectly formed poached egg, but you do get a good one that hasn't turned into a cloud being chased by the Sun. Straightforward enough to use. Best in a saucepan that's got a little more room than needed to stand them both in water up to the neck of the poacher. Easy to clean when finished, Silicone is pretty robust and should last if not subjected to dishwasher detergent.

Another gimmick - totally pointless! Too large to get two in a pan, so you need a lot of water and more time and power to boil. Some egg still seeps through the holes anyway. Poaching eggs is easy with freshest eggs, 2 minutes (depending on size) in rolling boiling water with vinegar & salt. Bingo! Don't waste your money on these.

Took me a while to work out a system. First effort I used both poachers. This meant I had to find a saucepan much wider than I'd usually use, turned out I'd never before used my widest pan. I was really not happy about how much water I had to heat up. The poachers were touching, this is probably why one of them tipped over, this was actually a happy accident, as I learned that with this gadget, the egg is set enough, way before it is cooked. Was never going to use such a big pan again. Luckily an idea popped in to my head. Basically, I set up a poached egg assembly line, for cooking multiple eggs. As long as the heated water is still, there is no need to add water to the fill line, I add water to exactly the top of the holes. I heat the water to just less than moving/rippling/bubbling, if you see a shimmer, then that is perfect. I've played with different timers, at the moment I use 1m15s. Place a bowl with cold tap water in it nearby, don't bother with that ice bath nonsense. Get the water to shimmer. Crack an egg into the poucher and set the timer. As the timer goes off, release the egg, crack in the next egg, start the timer. This time when the timer goes off, transfer the released egg to the bowl of water. Release the poacher contained egg. Crack in the next egg, start the timer etc Just remember, that for the last egg, there is no need to release, just start the timer again. I've realised that a difficult to guage amount of time is used up faffing and dithering, timings will be down to an individuals skill, state of concentration and who knows what? This morning I cooked 3 eggs, I served the 3rd egg as soon as cooked, then I placed the two cold water bowl eggs back in the hot water for a few seconds, to heat, without further cooking. Last time I cooked 6 eggs, ate 2, saved 4 for later - that is when I found out that cold poached eggs are perfectly fine for me. I'm adding a photo of today's 3 eggs, on a piece of rye sourdough, there is black pepper and small amount of jar stored hollandaise on top - I like to enjoy my eggs, not have a bowl of hollandaise soup. Enjoy. 2nd photo shows a duck and hen egg

They are okay, not perfect as a lot of the egg whites escape from the holes so end up with a much smaller poached egg than expected. The area to hold the egg whilst it cooks is also oversized, could probably fit 2 eggs inside but then it might be cooked through and my eggs are definitely not small ones. I will no doubt revert back to the cling film way of doing it as no egg escapes and the egg is a perfect shape.

Encore un super ustensile d'OXO. Les oeufs pochés sont iratable, plus besoin de vinaigre ou autre, il suffit de les faire glisser à l'interieur quand l'eau commence à frémir, quelques minutes plus tard, le tour est joué. Repliés sur eux même, et l'un dans l'autre, ils prennent peu de place. Un basique de nombreuses salades ou tartines aux oeufs pochés dans ma cuisine qui m'a largement simplifié la vie !

I thought I already knew how to poach eggs without difficulty, but this product makes it super easy. I break an egg in a water glass, and I recommend adding a tad of vinegar to the egg in the glass before you put the egg in the egg hopper. This will easily hold your white together. Three minutes in boiling water, and you'll have a perfectly poached egg. Enjoy!

Funciona muy bien, solo hay que bajarle al fuego para que no se muevan con el agua hirviendo

läs instruktionerna, finns lite tips där

Utilissimi per preparare uova in camicia ed eggs benedict, senza errori e senza grassi. Utile anche che i pezzi siano due per le famiglie numerose. Si lavano sciacquandoli, oppure in lavastoviglie e si piegano per occupare poco spazio nei cassetti della cucina. Consigliatissimi.
