Microwave Egg Poacher, Poached Egg Cooker with Measure Cup, Dishwasher Safe BPA Free, Egg Maker Poached Egg Steamer Kitchen Gadget Mother Day Gift

I own three different microwave poached egg cookers, 2 of this design and one nordic ware that's a few years old. The nordic works ok but has an annoying tendency that the lid pops open during cook which tends to create a mess in the microwave. Most microwave products recommend that you break the egg yolk before cooking but this model does not suggest breaking the yolks which is one reason I think it works better. Very simple to use. 1-put cold water in each cup (50ml measure included but it's about half of the cup volume), 2-crack the egg (unit has a little ridge on it just to whack the egg on to crack it), 3-Put on cover and cook. Cook time can vary by microwave, instructions are 90 seconds for an 800w microwave, most kitchen microwaves are a thousand watts these days so start at 70-75 seconds till you find the perfect time for your oven. If only cooking one egg, be sure you put water in the other section. If you wanted to you could put a bit of seasoning in the water or just wait till it's cooked to add seasonings. This unit is hefty enough that when it's done cooking it won't be blazing hot so you can easily lift it out of the microwave. If you wanted to make multiples you could use more than one unit at the same time (I frequently cook four eggs at once, adding about 35 seconds for the second unit) depending on your oven you may want to add a little more time my microwave has a turntable some don't, it can affect cook time. Very satisfied with this unit may even add a third one for those rare times I have guests or just hanker for a bunch of eggs. You can cook from runny poached to hard boiled very easily and since you remove the shell before cooking no more picking bits of shell off your breakfast before you can eat it. Egg comes out of the water easily because the cups come out of the cooker and drain it after cooking. Cleaning just takes a second by hand or top shelf dishwasher should be fine (it's rather thick plastic). Comment: Just wanted to comment that "for whatever reason" this thing seems to work a lot better with extra large eggs than just large. The two cups cook to the same doneness instead of one coming out noticeably less cooked (i.e. runny). No clue what might cause this phenomena.

Seventy five seconds in a thousand watt microwave, and absolutely perfect!

This made the best and quickest poached egg I have ever had . My microwave is small and only 800° and I like my eggs hard boiled so I put the water in, cracked my egg and put salt and pepper on it, and cooked it for 90 seconds. Perfection ! I then put some grated cheese on the top of the egg and put the lid back on. I left it on the counter for half a minute and it melted the cheese.The only reason I did not give this a five star was because when you take it out of the microwave, the pull on the lid is too slick. It needs to have some grooves in it to make it easier to hold. I only cooked one egg just to test it, but it was absolutely perfect.

Unable to achieve properly cooked egg whites without overly done yokes. Experimented a good bit too. I do like how quickly I can cook my eggs and how easy it is to clean the utensil.

Now my hubby gets his poached eggs he is happy which makes me happy I was just not getting them correctly the old fashioned way

No matter how careful I am doing all the things it says I should do so the eggs don't explode in the microwave, still burst all over the microwave

Easy to use egg poacher that works great.

no exploding eggs in the microwave!

Good
