Silicone Egg Poacher Cups with Ring Standers, Egg Boiler Mold Cup for Microwave Air Fryer Stovetop Cooking, Non-Stick, BPA-free, Set of 4

I have successfully used these twice and look forward to them hopefully lasting a long time. I have a 7"D/2"H fry pan with clear glass lid from an egg poacher whose peeling cups had to be trashed. I'm now poaching my eggs in that pan, in these silcone cups, in 1" of water, as directed. Nothing else is needed to brace the cups. While the silicone cups are a bit taller than the pan, the tall sides flop down, anyway; and no harm is caused by them being pushed slightly by the pan lid. While the ad cites "egg standers", there is not some special "stand"...I think they are referring to the design of the bottom of the cups themselves. I have a small glass spray bottle I use for applying oil to cook/bakeware, to avoid aerosols. I find a very small squirt from that (also tried non-aerosol avocado oil spray), to lubricate them prior to adding the eggs, works well. The (rather cheap...not expected to last long) "brush" is used to spread the lubricant easily, and the eggs do not stick at all. Once the brush is "wet" for the first cup, it lasts to coat the second, too. I haven't tried more than two at the same time, so I'm not sure if that could continue to a third and fourth cup. I've not tried any cooking method other than stove top, so cannot comment on microwave or etc. Also have not yet put them in a d/w; but hand washing with hot, soapy water is easy. I do not like loose yolks, so even though "poached" implies such state, I cook mine longer, till the entire egg is firmed. I accomplish that by setting the cups (same as previous "non-stick" ones) to simmer with the cover on for approx 8-10 min. for large or xlarge eggs. Being able to see through the colorless glass cover helps me monitor this. Sometimes, I even leave them setting, after turning off the heat, while I ready other items or take meds, etc. Since these cups taper, the outer edges do cook a bit more than the center, but I've not had any issue with overcooking or taste changes. As I don't like loose yolks and prefer scrambled eggs to "fried" ones (whether sunny side up OR over), preferring no separation of white and yolk, I might try to experiment, also, with scrambling an egg prior to placing it in the cup. So happy -- so far! - to have found a better replacement for what I used to have. Therefore, though wishing for a more promising-looking brush, I do recommend this product.

I find using in the microwave 30 second intervals works best and I use non stick spray 4 perfectly poached gees in under 3 minutes they work well in boiling water also. Just faster easier clean up in microwave.

My son loves pouched eggs but it can be a pain for make, this product was super simple. Easy to use, clean, and a turned out some decent eggs.

Works well , easy tomake poached eggs

work ok, eggs slide out into water sometimes

These are great! Easy to use and easy to clean!

Love this! I never poached eggs until I got this and it is sooooo easy.

Best egg poacher ever. I do it the old fashioned way in boiling water. I use light coating of Pam but not sure if that is necessary. Drop the poacher with the egg into boiling water. Ladle hot water over the egg if you want to speed up the process. Remove poacher cup and egg by the high sides on the cup. Egg slides right out.

This product does exactly what it's meant to. I used them in the instant pot to poach eggs. Very simple. Easy to clean and good quality.

LIKE THEM VERY MUCH AND EASY TO CLEAN TOO.

I can finally poach eggs in 5 mins or under. They are great. So easy to use and clean.

I don't think we used them properly. We tried to cook poached eggs in our foodie and they overcooked the yolk but didn't cook the egg white all the way through. I'm sure its something we did wrong. Otherwise, they fit in our foodie easily and clean up pretty well.

Works perfect.
