Egg Poacher Microwavable, Egg Steam with Measure Cup Dishwashable, Egg Maker Poached Egg Steamer Kitchen Gadget

I wanted this gadget to easily make poached eggs without getting out a pan and then having to scrub the egg off it later.This product works as advertised, with a couple of mods. The price was super. Cleanup is easy. Everything goes into the dishwasher. I would buy this again.The instructions are helpful, with text and photos. Two things I discovered: with the baskets in the wells, spray them with non-stick spray or brush with butter. Either substance will work, but you need an emulsifier to create the "non-stickiness" between the egg and the container. Then, regardless of egg size, fill the wells with HALF the amount of water called for. In my opinion, 50ml is too much.Other things I learned: Pierce the yolks as instructed and then cover and cook for only about 70 seconds. Take it out, check it for doneness, and possibly add another 5-10 seconds of time, according to the wattage chart provided. Take it out earlier than you think because microwaved food continues cooking for up to a minute or so after removal. Leave it covered after you take it out if you want more-done yolks. One last thing: It WILL pop in the microwave due to air in the whites, even though the yolks have been pierced. Microwaving with lid on prevents a micropocalypse. 😂

Some have complained that they have a few cooking issues with the egg cooker. I might offer a few easy tips. First, even though eggs come graded in the same carton they are all not the same size. Try and select two eggs that are close to the same size for even, best results. Two, place the unit in the center of the microwave table for an even microwave cooking experience. This will cook both the eggs the same. Three, when you first use the egg cooker notice your microwave power and use the provided chart for timing information. Fourth, If your eggs are over or under cooked vary the timer accordingly. Once you have all of these easy to use steps in place you will get great constancy, this is a great egg cooker for poached eggs, high quality at a great price.

So far this is the best egg poacher I have had. You do need to test the timing as they suggest since all of us prefer different egg consistency. I started with the water measured as suggested in the cups, then added the two eggs (I like the egg breaker that is included) and put it on high in the microwave for 45 seconds. Then continued to increased it by 15 seconds...found out my liking calls for 90 seconds. Suggest maybe less if you like a runnier yolk. The eggs just drop out of the cups with ease once you drain the water. And clean-up is also easy since it is made of silicone materials (no BPA). Very pleased with the results...especially for the price!

I love soft-boiled/poached eggs. I hate making them. I need to make two at once which is not possible using the swirl and drop into boiling water technique. This device was recommended to me. It has two compartments, great. My microwave is 1100 watts and the recommended time was 60-70 seconds. I set it for 30 seconds for one large egg as a test. The yolk was semi-cooked/semi-runny and half the white had leaked through the large slots of the "sieve" into the lower compartment and was not recoverable. Nothing stuck to the plastic so it was easy to clean but I didn't get much egg out of it.

THIS IS THE ANSWER!!!I think I've have purchased every possible product to make the perfect poached egg. Always a mess, never success. Then I saw this. Better than stovetop (because I get busy or it boils over or whatever), it goes into the microwave. And it has its own lid, so hopefully that will stop any explosions (there are no explosions if you follow the directions). I now have absolutely perfect poached eggs every morning. Note how much power your microwave has. No need to calculate but if its particularly powerful (large means probably powerful although not always), do the cooking in increments at first until you catch on to what your microwave will do. Example: put the 50ml of water in each egg cup with each raw egg, cover, and place in the microwave. Cook on high for 50 seconds (no explosions). Wait a few seconds and then continue for 10 second intervals on high, stopping to check the eggs until they are like you want them. (And if you can't tell without cutting them open, do your best and understand it might take 2 or 3 tries to get it exactly how YOU want them.) And then you're all set. I'd suggest writing down the winning time somewhere, because you may forget which one was the right one for you, and since you made more than one attempt, you might forget. Let's say your magic time is 1 minute and 10 seconds. To avoid explosions (which can happen with eggs in any microwave), cook 50 seconds and then let it wait maybe 10 seconds or so. Then cook the rest of the time, which in this example is 20 more seconds. It will become SO EASY you'll wonder why you ever did it any other way. This example applies to whether you have one or two eggs in the device....same timing. Wishing everyone a wonderful breakfast!

I'm really surprised anyone wrote this is a waste of money! First of all it's only $10, and secondly because the results are great. Like other reviews wrote, you will have to experiment with microwave times but I've been really pleased with the product so far. This is the second poacher I've ordered- the first didn't say closed, this one's top doesn't quite snap on, but it stays securely closed in the microwave. Easy to clean, makes healthy, grease free eggs, and a.good value!

Liked the look of it. Tab to crack your eggs on, great. But hard to clean, and, worse, my eggs exploded, twice. Not enough instruction. Have tossed it.

One of the best investments I've ever made. Perfect poached eggs . It did take a minute to figure out microwave cook time (70seconds in my microwave). Very happy w purchase.
