Egg Poacher Cups, Egg Boiler Mold Cup, Silicone Egg Poachers, Egg Poaching Cups with Ring Standers, Poached Egg Cups for Microwave Air Fryer Stovetop Egg Cooking, Non-Stick BPA-free, Set of 4

Like these very much.Keeps the egg round

I have successfully used these twice and look forward to them hopefully lasting a long time. I have a 7"D/2"H fry pan with clear glass lid from an egg poacher whose peeling cups had to be trashed. I'm now poaching my eggs in that pan, in these silcone cups, in 1" of water, as directed. Nothing else is needed to brace the cups. While the silicone cups are a bit taller than the pan, the tall sides flop down, anyway; and no harm is caused by them being pushed slightly by the pan lid. While the ad cites "egg standers", there is not some special "stand"...I think they are referring to the design of the bottom of the cups themselves. I have a small glass spray bottle I use for applying oil to cook/bakeware, to avoid aerosols. I find a very small squirt from that (also tried non-aerosol avocado oil spray), to lubricate them prior to adding the eggs, works well. The (rather cheap...not expected to last long) "brush" is used to spread the lubricant easily, and the eggs do not stick at all. Once the brush is "wet" for the first cup, it lasts to coat the second, too. I haven't tried more than two at the same time, so I'm not sure if that could continue to a third and fourth cup. I've not tried any cooking method other than stove top, so cannot comment on microwave or etc. Also have not yet put them in a d/w; but hand washing with hot, soapy water is easy. I do not like loose yolks, so even though "poached" implies such state, I cook mine longer, till the entire egg is firmed. I accomplish that by setting the cups (same as previous "non-stick" ones) to simmer with the cover on for approx 8-10 min. for large or xlarge eggs. Being able to see through the colorless glass cover helps me monitor this. Sometimes, I even leave them setting, after turning off the heat, while I ready other items or take meds, etc. Since these cups taper, the outer edges do cook a bit more than the center, but I've not had any issue with overcooking or taste changes. As I don't like loose yolks and prefer scrambled eggs to "fried" ones (whether sunny side up OR over), preferring no separation of white and yolk, I might try to experiment, also, with scrambling an egg prior to placing it in the cup. So happy -- so far! - to have found a better replacement for what I used to have. Therefore, though wishing for a more promising-looking brush, I do recommend this product.

This product does exactly what it's meant to. I used them in the instant pot to poach eggs. Very simple. Easy to clean and good quality.

LIKE THEM VERY MUCH AND EASY TO CLEAN TOO.

I find using in the microwave 30 second intervals works best and I use non stick spray 4 perfectly poached gees in under 3 minutes they work well in boiling water also. Just faster easier clean up in microwave.
