Egg Poacher - Eggssentials Poached Egg Maker, Stainless Steel Egg Poaching Pan, Poached Eggs Cooker Food Grade Safe PFOA Free with Spatula.

If you are thinking of buying this, but are apprehensive due to the price, it is worth it. Rarely do I find something that impresses me with quality and design. It makes perfectly poached eggs with minimal effort and clean up. The pan is not cheaply made and I was impressed with the high quality stainless steel and heavy glass lid. Thank-you for restoring my faith that things can still be made well Very deserving of a 5 star rating!

After a half-century creating culinary masterpieces and almost as many equally impressively terrible dishes, I learned long ago that single-purpose cookware is almost always a waste of money. The ‘hot doggers.’ The mini-waffle makers. The “As-seen-on-TV” rotisseries. And the Make-a-bacon-basket-in-your-microwave and other contraptions. Most we’re gifted from loved ones at Christmas and on our birthdays, and we’re grateful they even thought of us. But the gifts retire fast and just take up valuable kitchen and pantry space. But sometimes we actually need single-purpose cookware to do a fundamental job right every time. A good egg poacher is one. I’ve been poaching ‘the hard way,’ making tornados, for decades, but frankly, the technique has become such a pain in the neck because you can only do one egg at a time (impractical when entertaining) and success rate isn’t high. Dedicated egg poachers like this product save so much hassle and have close to perfect results every time. Too, they can be used to hardboil without the tedious task of ice baths and de-shelling afterward. So I purchased the Eggssentials 6-egg poacher. Go big or go home, right? It’s very well made. The pan base is substantial weight, like better cookware is. The clear glass lid is vented (and tempered?). The insert is lighter weight and has non-sharp edges. The cups are big enough for my jumbo and extra-large eggs, and because they’re almost semi-spherically shaped, the heavy egg yolks center in the middle of the white every time. I debuted the Eggssentials on a half dozen fresh extra-large eggs. I don’t like ‘cooking spray,’ so just used three drops of Grazo ‘Sizzling’ EVOO to grease all 6 cups with my finger. Then, I drained off each egg’s thin fluid using a fine mesh sieve, and plopped the egg into a ramekin. It’s important to do this step, because the fluid is superfluous and WILL impact your results. I seasoned and swirled the egg around to distribute the spices, and dropped it into a pan cup. Once the cups were filled and my pan’s water was solidly simmering, I inserted the insert, poached for 5 minutes, and checked. Several eggs weren’t as done as others, and it was because I hadn’t drained enough of their fluid off. So I let the entire rack poach for another minute. My eggs turned out almost great, but the well-drained eggs were more done than the watery ones, as I knew they’d be. Next time, I’ll use a less-fine mesh to drain the eggs beforehand! Cleanup was trivial, and I hand-washed every part with a soft scrubber even though I have a great dishwasher. That said, I know this Eggssentials pan is a winner!

I never write product reviews, ever, but this one genuinely deserves it. I make poached eggs at least every other day, and now it’s fortunately become more of a daily habit. This poacher is incredibly consistent: I set a four‑minute timer, and the eggs come out perfect every time. I didn’t compare it to other poachers, but the quality is obvious. It doesn’t feel flimsy at all. In fact, this morning I moved it on the stove and thought I’d forgotten to empty the water because of the weight, turns out it was just the product itself. Solid build, great performance. It may be a little more than others, but it's worth a few extra dollars.

Works perfectly ! And the directions that come with it are the key to making great eggs! Well done!

Great value and high quality. I use a tiny spray of cooking oil and the eggs just slide out, no need to use the small spatula that comes with it. Very easy to use and clean.

Love this product. Its nice and heavy, I love the insert cups for the eggs to cook. No sticking! Washes nicely. My favorite type of eggs are back!!

Fabulous kitchen utensil. Best poached eggs I’ve ever had. Simple to use. Well designed. Well built with quality materials. Very pleased.
