Silicone Egg Poacher Cups, 4 Pack with Stable Ring Base

These egg-poaching cups are wonderful! I like the round bases which stabilize them in the microwave. I always microwave my eggs, and it takes roughly 30 seconds to get an egg with a nice runny center, even when I make two at a time. I have no idea what the wattage of my microwave is - it's just a small old one with no mention of the wattage anywhere on it, but I'm sure it's low. I spray a baking spray into the cups before putting the eggs in, and the eggs just slide right out when done.

These poaching cups work exactly as described. I cooked two eggs (in separate cups) for 5 minutes in gently boiling water and decided to leave them a minute longer. I got soft poached. If I had stopped at 5 minutes they would have been runny yolks, which is fine, too. I did put the lid on, so had to pour off a little water from the steam, but no problem. Also, I did put an inch of water in the pan and the cups stayed upright. We own an electric induction top stove. I washed the cups in the dishwasher before using them and did not notice any silicone taste. Also, I used a bit of olive oil and the egg removal and cleanup was perfect. Definitely recommend as the budget choice for egg poaching.

The only reason I gave this product 4 stars is because the baster brush is very flimsy. I like how the poachers don't get hot so taking them out of the hot water is easy. The corners are a little high so I poach in a dutch oven. I found when I poached in a fry pan the the lid caved in the corners and the steam didn't have good circulation. They are steady when standing so I found it to be easier to crack my eggs into them before putting them in the pot. If you do exactly as the instructions say with coating them with oil the eggs slip out very easily. They also clean up real nice in the dishwasher (top rack). Overall I'm pleased with this product.

This works! I spray some PAM before adding the eggs. I boil water for 5 minutes and they’re cooked.

Great! Finally, I can poach an egg 🥚 without being nervous. The directions are perfect. I do set my timer. I’ve had other gadgets and discarded them. I may get a couple sets for Christmas gifts 🥚

The gauge of the silicone is too thick and even cooking an egg for 7 minutes part of the white is a little runny. On a good note they do not flip over in the dishwasher and fill with water.

These work great. They work best in a steamer. Use a litlle cooking spray in each cup. Put the in the steamer, cover, and in a few minutes they are perfectly cooked.

Little bit of spray oil and 8 minutes in the Air fryer..... Fried eggs. I was using ceramic ramikens but they were such a pain to clean up. These clean up easily. Definitely buy again!!!

The eggs poach ok in the microwave but the eggs are difficult to remove from poacher.

Work perfectly for poached eggs.. Eggs slide out easily and easy to clean. Recommend.

Génial !

Pretty good egg poachers. But my eggs didn't release as cleanly like they show in the description photos. They did get stuck to the sides, but it was easy to wash off. And yes I oiled them.

I love the concept however since silicone is an insulator, it makes it difficult to get predictable results when changing the number of eggs you do at a time. I make them in a water bath, not the microwave. A tiny bit of butter rubbed in them with your finger prevents sticking in most cases. I tried vegetable oil but it doesn’t work as well for me. A mini spatula curved like a spoon (also in silicone) is the easiest way to take them out without damage if you like them on the runnier side. I’m now using them for making chocolate shells to be filled with mousse. They will come out with irregular edges but the look is still pleasant. Make the shell and let harden, fill with mousse and freeze. Unmold when frozen and let thaw in fridge to avoid condensation. Add topping of choice. If you’ve been frustrated with yours, hopefully this might help.
