ChefMate 20cm 4 Egg Cup Non-Stick Frying Pan and Egg Poacher - Induction Suitable - Multicolour - 0.75L - 0.97kg

This poaches eggs just right. Cannot fault the product.This is my second one. I broke the last one. Delivered fast so I don’t miss out on my eggs at the weekend.Value for money and the quality is great

Good quality pan, non stick pan easy to clean, the egg cups although plastic in texture the eggs do stick to them if just cracked straight into the cups , I think it would be better with a bit of oil first just so the eggs come out clean, the function is OK, fill the pan with water then pop the cup holder on top , I don't think it should be used with less than 4 cups though because the water would bubble in the empty cup holder compartments, I've used it a few times now and haven't seen any rust forming, it poaches the eggs nicely without drowning them in water

Ease of cleaning , does what it should .

Versatile doing great poached eggs with clear lid letting you see when they’re done.Pan on its’ own useful for omelettes or a crepe. Works well with an induction hob and dishwasher safe. Looks sturdy and handles well.

Works as expected but the 4 hole insert became tarnished at 1st use and is impossible to clean and the knob in the centre has just become detached and cannot be reconnected. But it does still do the job

This is a quality pan. The egg cups are non stick and poach the eggs perfectly, we still smear a drop of oil round before adding the eggs. The cups are big enough for large eggs. The lid is vented so no pools of water around the cups or on the eggs. Works perfectly on our induction hob.

So this works well and poaches eggs nicely.A couple of thoughts:I have fond memories of holidays in a caravan on the south coast and we would have a fry up for breakfast which included a poached egg or two with bacon, sausages etc.So after this memory was had after watching TV where they poached eggs instead of the usual frying option I ordered this egg poacher. It arrived promptly and I used it the very next day.I was not sure how long it would take to poach the 3 x eggs but I watched and waited, the eggs were done in a few minutes and I had them on toast. All very nice and a slightly runny yoke was had.But then I asked my self what's the big deal? Why not just blinking well fry the eggs as I have done in the past?! Then looking at the poacher fan and the metal bit that holds the 4 x poacher cups in place it was obvious that there was just more mess and more washing-up to do!The cups are easy to wash-up as is the pan but the metal holder seems a bit harder to clean, boiling water and some egg over-flow made that worse and possibly could be avoided with better poaching skills.When frying you get the fan and a spatula and can see very easily when the eggs are fried enough so what's wrong with that.With the poacher you have to first boil the kettle and pour boiling water in to the pan then heat on the cooker to poach. So poaching takes longer, uses more energy and creates more washing-up!This poacher is fine in quality (used once) and does the job of poaching but will I bother in the future or will this new purchase end up in the cupboard with the other un-used kitchen contraptions - answer, yes I think so. Frying is fine and egg to toast coverage is better with a fried egg or two/three.

Perfect in every way
