For best results put butter in first and cover pot with lid!
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016
I really enjoy Eggs Benedict once in a while, but I have never learned how to properly poach eggs. Being raised in the South I mastered frying and scrambling eggs when I was still in my teens, but poaching was something I had never even seen anyone do except on TV. So after trying it once or twice I pretty much gave up......Until I saw this Easyegg Silicone Egg Poacher! Now I can poach an egg without any trouble at all! I finally got the chance to try it out today and experimented with two eggs. Both were successful, but the second one was definitely better.The first one just happened to be a double-yolk, which didn’t affect how well the poacher performed, but I just want to let you know if you see the pictures, that was not two eggs, it was just a double-yolk egg. I cracked it into the poacher and then used a large slotted spoon to lower it into the boiling water. I googled how to poach eggs with a silicone poacher and one thing I found said to cover the pot with a lid because you need the steam to help cook the egg since it doesn’t go down into the water. I cooked it for about 6 minutes and used the slotted spoon to remove it. There was a little water on top from the steam, and I drained that off. Then I turned the poacher upside down onto a plate but it did not come out. I turned the poacher inside-out and the egg broke into pieces and some came out and some stuck to the poacher. I got most of it off with a butter knife onto the plate, and washing the rest off wasn’t a big deal, but I realized that was not the best method. Some of the white was still runny so I knew I should have cooked it longer too.For the second egg I put a dab of butter in the poacher first and set it into the boiling water. After the butter had melted I cracked the egg into the poacher and covered the pot with the lid. I cooked it for about 8 minutes then removed it and carefully tilted the poacher to drain the water, then I was about to turn it over onto the plate and it just slid right out. It was cooked very nicely. 7 minutes probably would have worked too, since the yellow was not totally runny. I added just a little salt and pepper and it was delicious!I think it would be nice if it was sold in sets of 3 or 4 so you could make several at once. And I haven’t figured out yet why there are holes in three corners of it. Otherwise it’s a cool product that definitely solves the problem of poaching eggs!I received this item at a discount rate with the understanding that I would write a review with my unbiased and honest opinion, however I only order products I really want to try, and I only say what I really think, so when I say my honest opinion, that’s exactly what this is! :)
