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.

Amazing. Great product. Well thought out design. So much better than me microwaving eggs in bowl separately. Love the egg cracker built into the top. As people have said you have to experiment to get correct cooking time to avoid exploding (and yes my first attempt did blow up). I put a small little bowl on top just to add some weight to be safe but getting to the point I might not bother with that anymore. Makes my breakfast making so incredibly easy.

Generally satisfactory poached eggs result, following heating the covered poacher in the microwave (on high) for approximately 58 seconds. But : Afterwards, a fair amount of time is required towards thoroughly clearing all the (egg-white) residue present within both the bottom segments which hold the (two) cups and in-between each open slot surrounding the egg-holders fitted inside both cups.

I LOVE this egg poacher! Easy to use and clean. I accidently put 2 eggs in the same side one day and thought I'd try this because if you put them in their respective cups - one always turns out more done than the other. So now, they are pretty much the same consistency if you double up. I've learned to use about 1/2 of the recommended water and trying another thing: to put the eggs in the container and let it set for 1/2 hour before microwaving. Poached eggs are perfect on some cut up pieces of toast for a great protein breakfast.

Good for poached eggs in 60 to 90 seconds, however, you lose part of each egg white because the inside cups have slits that are slightly too large. As the egg cooks some of the white goes through the slits and separates from the egg.

Product doesn't work well at all. No instructions, either hard or not done at all. Bought two (they were a pair) Used one the other one is still in the box. I don't have the box for the one I used.

Works! First time. Poached eggs perfect.

Use all the time so I don't have to use the frying pan & stove. They would look weird but you could cook them like hard boiled eggs without the shell. For poached eggs I put my microwave on 1 minute & 20 seconds. I tried that on a bigger microwave at a friends & it was over cooked. Proof not all microwaves are created equal. The first eggs you ever cook will have to be a test.

Good
