Individual Single Egg Poacher Non Stick Aluminum with Cover (1 Each)

Product Information

In addition to being able to steam eggs using the indented divots in the basket, its versatility makes it a game-changer in the kitchen. We steamed meats and veggies at the same time and tried it out with broccoli, salmon, green beans, rice, carrots, and even pears—and said it worked perfectly in each test. Size: Smaller poachers are not only easier to store, but easier to handle. When it comes to releasing the egg, it’s especially easier to do this with a smaller poacher rather than a large one. The knob handle on the glass lid keeps the pan cool enough so that you won’t accidentally burn yourself, and eliminates the need for a potholder.

Customers have praised this poacher pan for its reliability. This is thanks to its stainless steel construction, which makes it easy to cook a perfect egg, as well as helps it stand the test of time. You need one of these - water in the bottom, egg in each section.” (Brand recommended by Mumsnet user PattyMelt) Our verdict

It depends on the machine, the number of eggs, and how you like the eggs done. In some cases, they can be done in as little as five minutes, while it can take up to 18 minutes in larger machines that are filled with the maximum number of eggs. One of the more expensive egg cookers, but still affordable, the Chef'sChoice egg cooker makes it easy to cook eggs to different levels of doneness in the same batch. For example, while eggs are soft boiling for breakfast, a few eggs can be hard-boiled for later use. As eggs are done, they need to be removed and the timer set for the remaining eggs, but it’s simple to do since the controls account for the previous cooking time.

Since this relies on a timer, there’s no need to precisely measure water for different batches of eggs—just fill the reservoir to the line and start cooking. Even better, the reservoir holds enough for several batches, so there’s no need to fill it with every batch of eggs. This cooks seven eggs at a time and has an audible alert and an on/off button, so it doesn’t need to be unplugged to stop the cooking. The egg tray is designed so it can be lifted safely with one hand to rinse the finished eggs under cold water after cooking. VERSATILE: From hard boiled eggs, soft boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and individual omelets, make them all with the push start button. Eggs cook in minutes and the auto-shut off feature prevents overcooking so you never have to worry about monitoring the process. Hard-boiled eggs are simultaneously the easiest and hardest thing to cook. The recipe is simple, but if there’s a little bit of distraction, the eggs can overcook, forming an unattractive green ring around the yolk and making the white rubbery. If you don't let them cook for long enough, the end result is undercooked and slimy. Egg cookers take the timing out of the cook’s hands, making perfect eggs much easier. Many include settings for soft-boiled or medium eggs, and some can even poach eggs or make omelets. If you do want to do it the old-fashioned way, here's our tried-and-true guide to cooking (and peeling) the perfect hard-boiled eggs. Cups/dishes – Poaching cups or dishes are available in a variety of styles but are typically half spheres that cradle the egg. They can float on top of the water or hook onto the side of the pan and cook in a firm semi-circle shape. Easy to use: The water fill line in particular is what makes this microwave egg poacher so easy to use.

Dishwasher safe: The fact you can just put this poacher pan straight in the dishwasher when you’re finished using it makes it even easier to clean! What’s more, it’s extremely versatile, able to cook omelets, scrambled eggs, and hard-boiled eggs as well as poached eggs! Pods/cups: With the egg fully supported whilst sitting in the cup, the entire pod or cup is lowered into the simmering water before being carefully lifted out once the eggs are ready. Generally easy to use, the pods and cups can generally be used with more than one in a pan and are convenient to store, but less efficient for poaching more than two or three at a time.
