We created our Silicone Egg Poacher to help you quickly and easily create perfectly poached eggs - eggs worthy of sharing in real life and on social media. We looked at the traditional (and painstaking) water bath poaching method for inspiration, but designed the Poacher for modern cooks with a little more on their plate. The high-heat resistant silicone body cradles the eggs while the funnel shape guides them into the water to prevent the yolk from breaking. A carefully designed hole pattern optimizes water flow around eggs for even cooking. When they're ready, use the handy tab to safely remove the Poacher from the water. With helpful fill lines show just how much water to use and collapsible, compact storage, you're sure to make eggs that are as pretty as a picture. For best result please see images directions.

We enjoy a nice soft boiled egg or poached egg, and have successfully made both in the past, but I saw this OXO product and decided to give it a try. They do work, and make the process of poaching an egg super easy. If you’ve ever been intimidated at the idea of poaching eggs, you should definitely try this product. The poachers are bigger than I expected, so to allow them to sit in the pot (without crowding), and to get the appropriate water level (there’s a water line mark on the poachers), I used a stock pot. The “cage†part of the poacher keeps the egg corralled while it sets, which I think is the biggest benefit of using this product (no need to swirl, etc.). Cleanup is easy - the poachers wash up easily and can be “folded†into themselves (forming a cup shape) for compact storage. FYI, there will still be egg white residue in the cooking pot, just like with the normal egg poaching process. You might need to experiment with cook time (a guide is included with the product) to get the exact cook you prefer. We cooked large eggs for 3.25 minutes (timing started when eggs were dropped into the simmering water) and had nice soft eggs to top our ramen bowls. Nice gadget!

A bit of context: from my background in Computer Science, I have been indoctrinated by the "Unix Philosophy" and one of its most important rules is that you want to strive, for a product, that it "Do One Thing and Do It Well." I think this explains my approach to the kitchen fairly well: yes, I am guilty of collecting "one-trick pony" appliances such as this one. Naturally, thus, I am a big fan of OXO, since this is exactly what they are doing. If you are on this page, maybe you feel the same way.In that case, I won't try to convince you that you need this, but that it does a really good job.I love the idea of "breakfast" but in our daily lives I just never find the time to sit down in the morning, and make what I traditionally think of as breakfast, or brunch (eggs, in particular poached, are a strong feature—perhaps because I eat mostly vegan otherwise). This item has helped to make breakfast easier because it makes poaching eggs a can't-go-wrong endeavor. I can do this straight from out of bed before I have woken up.The procedure sounds long, but once you've done it once, you can do it eyes closed:1) Fill in a pan with water up to the indicated level.2) Bring to a boil, then put on simmer.3) Add a splash of white vinegar into the opening (optional, but highly recommended).4) Crack an egg in a bowl and pour it in the opening (some might be courageous enough to crack over the opening, but not me).5) Wait a fixed amount of time (for my pasture-raised jumbo eggs, this is between 4 min. and 4:30 min—by the way, some reviews mention that size is an issue, maybe I do not notice this because I use jumbo eggs).6) Pull the poacher out (can do with bare fingers because it is silicon).7) Use a slotted spoon to fish the poached egg out, drain it, and place it on some paper towel (you can also delicate remove the strands of cooked yoke that may look messy).The result is perfect, I find (or at least superior to what I could do on my own). Attached is a picture of my first poached eggs, used for an avocado toast (OK, so I'm a millennial, sue me! :-).Final thoughts:— If like me, you do not yet have a slotted spoon, you might want to get one, such as . (Nylon is a good choice if you may end up using this with non-stick cookware.)— These fold onto themselves and can be stacked atop another, so as to take only a quarter of the space.— If like me, you love avocado toasts, perhaps you can compromise, save on brunch, but allow yourself the opulent decadence of also owning this tool , or go on ahead and buy the combined pack (these OXO people sure are attentive to consumer demand, they were AFAIK, the first to market such a combo!).--PS: If you found this review useful, chances are there'll be a day I'll stumble on one of your reviews and find it useful too! Thank for in advance!

The base of these poachers is 3.75 inches in diameter. Standard large eggs will normally not spread out that much when carefully dropped into barely simmering water without any poacher. The result is that the shape of the poached egg is somewhat flattened rather than coming out closer to a spherical shape. It's about the same shape as using no poacher. If the base were much smaller in diameter that would help keep shape of the egg closer to being, well, egg-shaped. There's really no advantage to using these if you already know how to poach two eggs together without them. The large size of the base also means you need to use a much larger pot just to poach two eggs together. And a larger pot means a longer wait time to reach a boil or simmer.Updated 6/13/2022: These work best for frying eggs. The advantage they have over egg rings is that they cover the egg while it's frying. Steam gets partially trapped by lower part with the holes and cooks the top side of the egg. After 30-45 seconds of frying on medium-high heat, so the eggs are bubbling, they are set well enough to prevent the whites from running. At that point the poachers can be removed and a lid place on the pan to finish cooking off heat for perfect sunny side up fried eggs. It also helps to first filter the eggs through a fine mesh strainer to remove the watery parts of the whites before frying them. This is the same trick to I've used to poach eggs without ending up with strings of egg white. The egg white sticks together better in the water if you first remove the watery part of the whites using a fine mesh strainer.

Love poached eggs but the always loose half the egg white in the water. These work perfectly, boil water, place cups in pan, crack eggs in cups, leave to cook DONE. No mess, no wastage, clean easily by just rinsing - Game changer. Perfect poached eggs every time.

Funktioniert hervorragend! Das Eigelb ist noch flüssig und das Eiweiß ist fest und umhüllt es. Kinderleicht ein pochiertes Ei zu machen
