Review on Eggssentials Nonstick Egg Poacher Pan - Stainless Steel Poached Egg Maker, Food Grade Safe PFOA Free Cookware with Spatula, 4 Poaching Cups by Justin Fletcher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

UPDATE ADDED good for egg poachers

The delivery was earlier than expected. The item was packaged properly so there was no damage. The product is essential as described. My first reaction (and hence 4 stars) was that the cups are a lot smaller than I imagined. I washed the product according to the instructions before use and boiled two large eggs that filled the cups. I very much doubt very large eggs would be ok since large eggs fill cups to the brim. Another reason for the 4* is that it was difficult to put the cups in the holder without spilling. I believe this could have been avoided if the cups had been placed in the holder before the holder was placed in the pot and I will use that method next time. Overall I am happy with the product and would recommend with the caveat that it may not work on very large eggs. BTW, the eggs were amazing. I cooked for 6 minutes and got firm egg whites and soft yolks. UPDATE: After using this for some time (usually 4 eggs, 3 times a week) I can add the following. I started putting eggs in cups (in the cup holder) and then I grabbed the whole block by the big handle and put it in the pan (hope that makes sense). I also spray each cup with vegetable/canola oil before breaking the eggs. (I forgot once and the eggs didn't come out without breaking). I also changed the time and method of preparation. I boil the water before I put the egg holder in the pot. Then I lower the temperature to level 3, which I think is 30% of the high setting. This mode provides gentle cooking rather than slow cooking. Then I cook 5 minutes for a thin jam, 5.5 minutes for a semi-liquid yolk and 6 minutes for a solid yolk. I really like this product.

Pros
  • HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL AND PERFORMANCE. Unlike flimsy poaching pans on the market, this deluxe pan has a durable, heavy-duty stainless steel body suitable for use with all types of hobs, including induction. The high-quality 3-LAYER ENCAPSULATED aluminum base eliminates hot spots and provides fast, even heat distribution to ensure your eggs are always cooked evenly, so you never have to worry about eggs being overcooked or undercooked.
