To make amazing poached eggs you will simply need large eggs, this poached egg maker, and a little water. This egg poacher is used on the stovetop and is similar in size to typical stovetop pans. 

Unlike the traditional method of poaching eggs where the egg is cooked in a water bath of boiling water this poached egg maker cooks the eggs with steam. By using this method you do not have to scoop the egg out of hot water or deal with a mess. 

How to Use a Poached Egg Maker

First, remove the poaching tray with cups and fill the base pan with about half an inch of water. The water level should be low because we only need to create steam. 

Then place the pan on the stove and bring it to a gentle boil.

Next, spray the poaching cups with olive or avocado oil to prevent sticking. 

While the water is heating on the stove in the boiling tray crack the eggs and place one egg in each of the egg poacher cups. Be careful, and make sure not to break the egg yolk. 

Once the water begins to boil place the poaching tray into the pan. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Then cover with the glass lid and start a timer. Remember that making the perfectly poached egg happens in just a matter of minutes, so timing is everything.

Cooking Time for Poached Eggs

The cooking process normally takes anywhere from 3.5 and 6 minutes depending on how firm you like your eggs. Cooking times will vary depending on the stove as well. 

When you first start using the egg poacher pan you will have to play around with the cook times until you find the sweet spot.

Once you reach your time then remove the pan from the heat and remove the clear lid. 

These eggs were cooked for exactly 5 minutes and resulted in a cooked-through egg white and a slightly soft and runny yolk. For cooked-through eggs similar to hard-boiled eggs you would let them cook for at least 6 minutes.  

Next, use the small spatula to remove each egg from the egg cups. 

The Perfect Egg Poacher

Serve your poached eggs on toast or greens or however, you like. 

Each little cup makes one single egg so you can make one or six eggs at a time. 

I like my poached eggs with avocado toast or microgreens and cherry tomatoes and strawberries for a healthy start to the day. 

How to Clean the Poached Egg Maker

You can extend the life of your poached egg maker with proper cleaning and care. Here are a few basic instructions for how to clean and take care of your poacher. 

• Before you use this egg poacher for the first time make sure to clean it with warm soapy water. 
• Clean it with warm soapy water after each use.
• This product is dishwasher safe, but because is it made of stainless steel handwashing is recommended to keep it shiny, and extend the life of the nonstick coating of the cups. 
• Avoid using abrasive pads to clean.
• Dry with a towel to prevent water spots.
• Use the silicone spatula to remove the eggs to prevent scratching.
