Easy Cook NS606 2 Cup Microwave Egg Poacher

I read some of the other comments, which were mostly positive, and thought I would give it a go. If you follow the instructions, it does what it is supposed to and you get a decent poached egg very quickly. It is also much less messy than trying to do it freehand in a pan of boiling water. With my microwave, I found that the egg needs to be done for slightly longer than the recommended time. The instructions suggest helpfully some element of trial and error and the extended time may be because I always use large eggs. Sixty seconds for the water (put it in up to about a third of the volume in both cavities) and then I do one egg (the missus doesn't like poached eggs and two for me seems a bit much on an ordinary day) for about 53 seconds. Yolk still soft inside and white mostly firmed up. You need to drain off the water or easily remove the cooked egg with a table spoon. It's not quite perfect poached egg but acceptable and quick in the time it takes to make the toast. It's also easy to wash up afterwards since the egg white residue is minor and not very tenacious.

I LOVE this item - but with a particular ISSUE that I will cover below - poached eggs on toast in under 2 minutes GREAT!!! The features listed above I rated as follows: "Easy to clean" - I took this to mean on the INSIDE and, as I apply a light coating of oil onto the inside of the "cups" before each use, then the residual poached egg come off pretty easily. "Sturdiness" - this IS for sure because I have arthritic hands and have dropped this unit a few times with no damage (fortunately whilst it's been empty lol). Now for my ISSUE "Easy to remove" - I have interpreted this to mean removing the top half from the base. And I have to say, when you need to get your poached eggs out and on to your plate this bit is a nightmare. With the unit getting quite hot (obviously) forming a seal between the 2 halves and there is nothing to get hold of to remove the top. Although not a deal breaker -unless you have asbestos fingers, without using a thin blade removing the top half is a challenge to say the least. The top half could do with some kind of "tab" at 90 degrees to the flat to give something to get hold of (I'm going to put my 3D printer to use to see if I can sort this issue out lol). All in all the product works well - I reduce the cooking time slightly because I like my eggs soft and runny - but if/when I find a solution to the top removal I may well need to adjust my timing. This is a much better solution for cooking poached eggs than boiling copious amounts of water which just adds to the time (and cost) of preparing a "quick" snack.

Does The job but be careful it’s not easy to open and easy to burn yourself.

Thanks to all the other excellent positive reviews on this item I bought one and tested it this morning. My microwave is 900watts which is very powerful but I did what reviewers and the instructions recommend - one third fill both chambers with water - mwave on full for 60 seconds. Dropped just one egg into one of the indents. Microwaved full power 40 seconds. Tested it visually and it looked like it could use 10 seconds more. Did that. Result perfect - whites solid and no runny uncooked matter. Yolk was runny but not thin, just nicely runny thick which is the way I like it when boiled fried or poached. As I didn't need a poached egg at testing time, I popped the egg into a shallow pan of boiling water and cooked for one minute more to make it hard boiled and then used it for egg mayonnaise with pepper and chives.So that saved time and energy being 2 minutes 50 seconds and no shell to peel when cold. Compare that with 10 minutes boiling a hard boiled egg and you can see how this is a really great little method. Instructions say you don't need to prick the yolks with a pin. So I didn't ! And no exploding egg pebble dashing the microwave innards either!Full marks for this device.

Makes the best poached eggs in the microwave, very quick and easy

ARRIVED ON TUME AND AS ADVERTISED.WORKS REALLY WELL

On the recommendation that we're given, the eggs over cook or not cooked enough.

Good painless way to make poached egg at last

Es exactamente como me esperaba. Muy fácil de usar y de limpiar! Tendrás los huevos hechos en un periquete .

Ottimo acquisto, indispensabile in cucina.Uova per il brunch in 1 minuto. Frittatine baby al parmigiano in 45 secondi. Hamburger in 2 minuti.Le uova cuociono alla perfezione, ma noi lo usiamo per la preparazione di mini frittate, mini gateaux di patate, per riscaldare legumi e verdurine.Cuoce il composto liquido per muffin dolci e salati e quello per brownies.Data la forma, cuoce hamburger e polpette grosse fatte in casa e potrebbe essere utile ad esempio per il controllo delle porzioni.Facile da pulire, occupa poco spazio, il materiale è buono, non si riga, i cibi non attaccano. È a prova di imbranato.Piccolo, ma non troppo... riesce a preparare un paio uova alla benedettina mettendo sul fondo la classica ciambellina e sopra l'uovo intero. Consigliatissimo! Ne sto ordinando un altro da regalare.

have to try it again, and try to get the water right.

Funktioniert super, mit der Temeperatur in der Mikrowelle muss man etwas rumprobieren. Sehr geringer Aufwand & kaum Abwasch, kein rumgedrehe im Kochtopf und die Frage ob es nun was wird - super Teil!
