OXO Good Grips 2-Piece Silicone Egg Poacher Set

Very pleased with these. Used twice so far and successful each time. Forgot vinegar second time so more white floating in water but eggs still good. I boil the kettle and then fill the pan to the water mark on the silicone cup as a large saucepan is needed to poach two eggs. This means not waiting for a large pan to boil.

Only tried these a couple of times so far. They work well. They are bigger than I expected though so I ended up using a bigger pan and boiling more water than seemed necessary. The second time I used a smaller pan and just one poacher - but I put in two eggs together. This worked OK. I prefer these to the 'floating cup' style of silicone poachers. They give a result just like a free-water poach that has worked properly.

Easy to use but I don't think they add anything to the process. They are too large to fit both in the pan at once so you might as well just swirl the water and drop in the egg and save on washing up. If you have difficulty in making poached eggs the traditional way then these will help form a neat egg

It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the temperature just right ( rolling boil ) they cook great. Not had any leak out the sides, as other reviews said. Happy with this and easy to use. Only negative is the water line ~~~ on the inside, could do with being a different colour, so it's easier to see.

They do work providing you use loads of water in a saucepan as frying pans aren't deep enough and would also require a large saucepan if more than 1 is required. For me having to use so much water and heat that water to a simmer takes a lot of electricity, too much. Therefore not cost effective to poach a couple eggs. They are too large and this is not necessary as a more shallow bottom section would be plenty big enough for very large eggs. I also think for what they are and do, much too expensive for a product that is good in theory but not practice. Now sit in a kitchen drawer.

Another gimmick - totally pointless! Too large to get two in a pan, so you need a lot of water and more time and power to boil. Some egg still seeps through the holes anyway. Poaching eggs is easy with freshest eggs, 2 minutes (depending on size) in rolling boiling water with vinegar & salt. Bingo! Don't waste your money on these.

Took me a while to work out a system. First effort I used both poachers. This meant I had to find a saucepan much wider than I'd usually use, turned out I'd never before used my widest pan. I was really not happy about how much water I had to heat up. The poachers were touching, this is probably why one of them tipped over, this was actually a happy accident, as I learned that with this gadget, the egg is set enough, way before it is cooked. Was never going to use such a big pan again. Luckily an idea popped in to my head. Basically, I set up a poached egg assembly line, for cooking multiple eggs. As long as the heated water is still, there is no need to add water to the fill line, I add water to exactly the top of the holes. I heat the water to just less than moving/rippling/bubbling, if you see a shimmer, then that is perfect. I've played with different timers, at the moment I use 1m15s. Place a bowl with cold tap water in it nearby, don't bother with that ice bath nonsense. Get the water to shimmer. Crack an egg into the poucher and set the timer. As the timer goes off, release the egg, crack in the next egg, start the timer. This time when the timer goes off, transfer the released egg to the bowl of water. Release the poacher contained egg. Crack in the next egg, start the timer etc Just remember, that for the last egg, there is no need to release, just start the timer again. I've realised that a difficult to guage amount of time is used up faffing and dithering, timings will be down to an individuals skill, state of concentration and who knows what? This morning I cooked 3 eggs, I served the 3rd egg as soon as cooked, then I placed the two cold water bowl eggs back in the hot water for a few seconds, to heat, without further cooking. Last time I cooked 6 eggs, ate 2, saved 4 for later - that is when I found out that cold poached eggs are perfectly fine for me. I'm adding a photo of today's 3 eggs, on a piece of rye sourdough, there is black pepper and small amount of jar stored hollandaise on top - I like to enjoy my eggs, not have a bowl of hollandaise soup. Enjoy. 2nd photo shows a duck and hen egg

Poaches eggs well but they are quite big Requiring a large saucepan for two

Encore un super ustensile d'OXO. Les oeufs pochés sont iratable, plus besoin de vinaigre ou autre, il suffit de les faire glisser à l'interieur quand l'eau commence à frémir, quelques minutes plus tard, le tour est joué. Repliés sur eux même, et l'un dans l'autre, ils prennent peu de place. Un basique de nombreuses salades ou tartines aux oeufs pochés dans ma cuisine qui m'a largement simplifié la vie !

I thought I already knew how to poach eggs without difficulty, but this product makes it super easy. I break an egg in a water glass, and I recommend adding a tad of vinegar to the egg in the glass before you put the egg in the egg hopper. This will easily hold your white together. Three minutes in boiling water, and you'll have a perfectly poached egg. Enjoy!

Funciona muy bien, solo hay que bajarle al fuego para que no se muevan con el agua hirviendo

läs instruktionerna, finns lite tips där

Utilissimi per preparare uova in camicia ed eggs benedict, senza errori e senza grassi. Utile anche che i pezzi siano due per le famiglie numerose. Si lavano sciacquandoli, oppure in lavastoviglie e si piegano per occupare poco spazio nei cassetti della cucina. Consigliatissimi.
