OXOGood Grips 2-Piece Silicone Egg Poacher Set

Having recently started eating much healthier I had a few poached eggs eating out, I wanted to see what I could do by myself.At first I tried doing the water vortex technique which is by far the best way to poach an egg, but when I wanted more than one it became a little troublesome as they come into contact and don't hold their shape as well so I thought I'd give these a go.I'm glad I did - First use it worked instantly and I had lovely poached eggs. They are a little big in my opinion so you do need to use a bigger saucepan that expected but overall they allow you to do two at a time which for me is all I wanted.They couldn't be easier to use, simply wash them before use as you should do with anything new. Plop them in a saucepan, fill the water to the line marked on the funnel. Get the water to a rolling boil (where it is just about bubbling - make sure its not overly boiling, you just want a light boil), and drop the eggs into the funnel. It then falls them into the below chamber where the water can surround them but keeps them in place.Follow the instructions on the little guide that comes with these and you'll be eating poached eggs which are done perfectly!

The first product that I have ever used that actually makes proper poached eggs. I have used it twice on large eggs. Tried the first on 3.30 min and they were great but used again at 3.15 and that gave me perfect poached eggs. Thank you oxo.

I was surprised by how big the turning head on this was, but like most Oxo items seems well made at a reasonable price. Being silicone it doesn't mark the pan.

It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the temperature just right ( rolling boil ) they cook great. Not had any leak out the sides, as other reviews said. Happy with this and easy to use. Only negative is the water line ~~~ on the inside, could do with being a different colour, so it's easier to see.

Wish item handle was longer, but head is wide enough and soft tip protects the pan whilst assisting in flipping items.

Great product. I've never mastered the art of poaching eggs but this product works well. As others have said is best for cooking one egg at a time unless a large pan. The poacher has a water level mark so make sure the pan has enough water to go up to the mark. My cooking tips are to make sure the water is barely simmering with little bubbles and not boiling. Add a few drops of white vinegar to the water before you put the egg in. Make sure you don't knock the poacher whilst dropping the egg in (it goes through the hole and into the bottom of the poacher) if you move the poacher before the white has had time to set it will escape. For a runny yoke and set white whilst cooking one large supermarket egg it needs about 3 mins 45 seconds. Once the time is up lift out the poacher and then use a slotted spoon to remove the egg. Place egg on kitchen paper to remove excess water briefly then serve. Very easy to clean just rinse.

Awful product. Have attempted a few times now and every time I've been left with a mess in the pan and an overcooked yolk! I've followed the instructions to the letter. I'm now outside the return period by a few days so can't even get a refund!

Easy to use - nice results
