Great quality product. Compared to others I looked at, this one cooks 5 at a time, which was a big selling point for me. Definitely have to spray a little cooking oil in each poacher. Good size and good design so it easily fits into my cabinet when not in use. So glad this is the one I chose!

This is a great egg poacher at a great price, attractive design, cooks well, the major flaw is the small black plastic knobs on each poacher cup. While they are easy to pick up, they are too dang hot to hold for more than a second, making it quite inconvenient to try to spoon the egg out of the cups; you have to awkwardly use a pair of tongs, a pot mitt, or your napkin. The design of a slit in the handle of the cup allowing it to be held by a fork or knife (which many models employ) is a far better alternative... what would have been really innovative would have been to have these knobs detachable by an easy clip with a simple, quick, squeeze motion, so they are not heated in the bath during the cooking process (hey, if any company utilizes this idea, I want a % of royalties for this idea)... it seems the permanent platic knobs were designed by someone who never tested or used the product or they would have discovered this flaw. I give it 3.5 stars since a well cooked poached egg does little good if you cannot get it onto your plate without dropping it or burning your fingers (looking even sillier if you are serving guests breakfast--in which everyone present clearly sees the fatal flaw in the design and wonders why the heck the "professionals" who designed it could not understand the obvious).

Do you really need a poacher at all? I ask this because the old fashioned way of poaching eggs in a saucepan of simmering water is 1) Dead easy; 2) Produces a lot less washing up; 3) Most important of all: the result tastes better!
Any decent cookbook will tell you how, but here are the basics:
* Bring approximately three inches of water plus a splash of white wine vinegar to a simmer in a largish saucepan
* Carefully break an egg (preferably at room temperature) into a cup
* Gently tip it into the simmering water
* After 2½ minutes carefully remove it with a slotted spoon, gently shaking off surplus water.
Actually, this is a lot simpler to do than it is to describe. I have now poached dozens of eggs this way and never had a failure. Again, they taste better - the whites in particular are much lighter and do not have the rubbery consistency of eggs done in a poacher. I discovered all this after spending $48 on a poacher. Why don't you give poaching the old-fashioned way a try first?

Bought lots of "stuff" online - some good, some bad. This poacher was not good. IT IS GREAT! 75 yrs old and a 2 fried eggs with bacon for breakfast person for most of those years. In consideration of my MD's request, got rid of the bacon and switched to soft boiled eggs. I got so sick and tired of handeling hot eggs, I started poaching them in a frying pan. What a cleanup mess. Last week I received this poacher. Now get this. DISREGARD ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS concerning it. It is great. Spray the cups with Pam and cleanup is virtually nil. Quick tip I stumbeled on. I slightly over fill the water in the frying (only slightly) and cook at a pretty high boil. A small amount of boiling water will work its way into the egg cups. Viola! Tops of egg cooked perfectly. Tilt the cup slightly as you remove it and the water drains into the frying pan. Eggs slide right out into your "egg cup". Never poasted before but this product is really good!
