perfect poached eggs every single time
a little butter, teaspoon of water, power 80, carefully fork each yolk so it doesn't run out or get too hard in the middle, 2 minutes.. perfect every time :-) So glad to own this item. Poached eggs on the stovetop takes entirely too long.
What a time saver, and great tasting too!
I am really glad I discovered this kitchen accessory. And it makes poached eggs much better than the long, stovetop way.
But you have to be careful. The first time I used it, and followed the microwave directions for the double egg poacher, which were to cook at medium power for approximately 30-45 seconds, the middle of the eggs were very runny at the end. When I cooked them longer, then they were curdled.
I almost tossed this gadget out, but then thougt to myself: My microwave doesn't get terribly hot. Perhaps if I increase the medium power setting to 60, keeping the same time setting of 45 seconds, the eggs will cook correctly. And they did. In fact, perfectly! So it is wonderful not to have the leftover dishes and to go through the whole procedure of poaching eggs when it is simplified with even better results with this accessory. But I repeat you may have to experiment to find the right time/power setting for your particular microwave.

Egg poacher
Product was a disapointment for this price range. Area for eggs is to small, they tend to spill over the side when putting in microwave. I put it on a paper plate, being made of silicone it's not to stable. It cooks unevenly at times, one side will cook more then the other. It's not easy to clean, even after soaking. I always seem to miss a spot no matter how hard I scrub it. It's better then some of the cheaper ones, but I would not have bought it knowing of these problems.
