Product Description

Product Description
The poachpod is a flexible silicone cooking tool for poaching eggs, baking and molding. The poachpod allows you to float and poach an egg in boiling water like a lily pad on a pond. When the egg is ready, flip the non-stick pod inside out and gently push the perfectly domed-shaped egg out. Place the pod in the dishwasher for easy clean up. Never be fearful of making poached eggs again.

My eggs came out perfectly for me (not runny at all) the first time I used these, which I recorded using my camcorder. I hope it helps to see exactly how to use them. It's fun and easy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use. Effective., December 9, 2007

By	rosiet33 "rosiet33" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

I love poached eggs, and was enamored with the absurdity of the color, name, and design of poachpods. I bought them, ripped the tag off, and put them in the cupboard for a month.

I just used them for the first time today, and didn't have the instructions. So I just dropped the eggs in the pod, and placed the pods into lightly boiling water. I replaced the lid, and waited 5 minutes. I then had perfectly poached eggs that were seriously stuck to the poachpod. Whoops. My bad.

SO, a poachpod will give you a perfect egg if you:

1) Boil some water
2) Spray the inside of pods with nonstick spray (or brush with olive oil)
3) Crack the eggs into the pods
4) Turn down the water to low
5) Place the pods into the water (the lilypad effect is pretty sweet)
6) Replace the pot cover
7) Wait 5 minutes
6) Coax the eggs out of the pods onto your plate/toast/english muffin

That's it - exactly how they are supposed to work. No need to buy a dedicated poaching pan. I used a 3 qt saucepan.

Because the top of the pods are out of the water, the "handle" part is not too hot to touch. I had no problem removing the eggs with my hands.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but design needs refinement, May 13, 2007

By	Jack (Brooklyn) - See all my reviews

For poached egg lovers like me, this gadget is great. It makes preparation and clean up very easy, but am perplexed with the three corner design, and feel that a two sided design would have made more sense, and would prevent tipping the egg when using your hands when removing from the water. I took another person's suggestion and use a slotted spoon when adding or removing the pod from the water, and it seems to be the best solution to this. Although there are many "anti-gadget" type people out there that feel that this is unnecessary (Why use a washing machine, when an old fashioned washboard works great?" type people), I think the plusses outweigh the minusses about this product. I've tried other methods, like using pyrex custard cups or tea cups in a steamer basket, but I don't like the idea of handling hot glass or ceramic when removing the eggs. It sure makes poaching eggs and cleaning up a pleasure.
