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.

Works as intended

This made the best and quickest poached egg I have ever had . My microwave is small and only 800° and I like my eggs hard boiled so I put the water in, cracked my egg and put salt and pepper on it, and cooked it for 90 seconds. Perfection ! I then put some grated cheese on the top of the egg and put the lid back on. I left it on the counter for half a minute and it melted the cheese.The only reason I did not give this a five star was because when you take it out of the microwave, the pull on the lid is too slick. It needs to have some grooves in it to make it easier to hold. I only cooked one egg just to test it, but it was absolutely perfect.

I wanted this gadget to easily make poached eggs without getting out a pan and then having to scrub the egg off it later. This product works as advertised, with a couple of mods. The price was super. Cleanup is easy. Everything goes into the dishwasher. I would buy this again. The instructions are helpful, with text and photos. Two things I discovered: with the baskets in the wells, spray them with non-stick spray or brush with butter. Either substance will work, but you need an emulsifier to create the "non-stickiness" between the egg and the container. Then, regardless of egg size, fill the wells with HALF the amount of water called for. In my opinion, 50ml is too much. Other things I learned: Pierce the yolks as instructed and then cover and cook for only about 70 seconds. Take it out, check it for doneness, and possibly add another 5-10 seconds of time, according to the wattage chart provided. Take it out earlier than you think because microwaved food continues cooking for up to a minute or so after removal. Leave it covered after you take it out if you want more-done yolks. One last thing: It WILL pop in the microwave due to air in the whites, even though the yolks have been pierced. Microwaving with lid on prevents a micropocalypse. 😂

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.

Wow, talk about suck!! This piece of plastic is a complete waste of time & $$$ UNLESS YOU WISH TO COOK HARD BOILED EGGS!! No joke - we have a lousy 900 watt microwave, its SO weak, I call it our "easy-bake microwave" ok? I buy this to POACH eggs, I follow the instructions -2 minutes for attempt #1- tho no explosion until out of microwave, both eggs had hard boiled yolks so, I cut the time - jeez! I used 10 eggs adjusting the cooking time each & every attempt - all I got were hard yolks. Look at the sellers "how to" video & pay close attention to the end when they show ya the "payoff" - a perfectly poached egg? NO! Even in their video the end product has a mostly hard yolk- NOT like a true poached egg. Now if hard boiled is your thing, by all means BUY THIS!!

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.

Excited to have this product, I love pouch eggs and with this egg poacher was so easy to make them. It is worthy to purchase

Good
