Sistema Microwave Poacher for up to 4 Eggs, Red/Clear, 28.7 x 20.5 x 8.4 cm

This egg poacher is extremely easy to use and eggs are wonderful and clean up is a breeze. I am not a cook but I love poached eggs...this is the best of both worlds...put water in, add eggs, microwave for a couple of minutes...and...there upi have it...hot poached eggs done to perfection.

I filled two diagonal cups and got nearly perfect poached eggs using half power on my 1000 watt microwave in under five minutes. I didn't use any cooking spray and the poacher and cups rinsed perfectly clean using nothing but hot water, I only bothered with soap on principle. No issues with water in my eggs because I was patient enough to shake out as many drops as I could before dumping my eggs in a bowl. One reviewer was disgusted by putting the eggs where the water goes, but that's exactly how a poached egg is made and all you have to do is pay attention to your food when plating it to avoid watery eggs. If I didn't know the eggs had been microwaved, I wouldn't have been able to tell vs. one simmered in a pan. You could dump the water out after cooking the eggs and use the same tray as a bowl for toast dipping if you wanted to and minimize dishes. Nice bang for buck with this product.

I've used this wonderful egg poacher about a dozen times since buying it and I love it. Easy to clean, easy to use for perfect eggs in just 2 minutes!

Fussy to use. It does work, but the cooking time for your microwave needs to be tested. Follow the instructions, use cooking spray on the cups, microwave adding 10 seconds each time until cooked the way you like. You should rotate the steamer 90 degrees everytime you check doneness, most microwaves do not cook evenly. Poacher holds ~300 ml of water to cook properly, I add about 50 ml of vinegar to help set the white.Drop steamer and cups into hot soapy water when done. Any cooked eggs slides right off the cups, do not use scrubber pads.I prefer using a large skillet of water to poach eggs, but this is OK for quick poached eggs if I'm cooking only for myself.

I love this & so does my husband, so quick & easy!!

After reading the description it appeared this would be easy to use and make great poached eggs. Not so. It was difficult to determine the proper amount of water. When poached, the water was supposed to drain out of the egg cups leaving the properly poached yolk and white Only the area around the yolk had attempted to set up. The whites had broken down, not forming a proper white with the yolk resting in the middle. About a tablespoon worth of egg white had set up. The rest of the white had mixed with the water and the water was a murky white mess that could only be thrown out. The tiny poached eggs were really sad. My dog liked the one I gave her. That’s the only thing good thing I can find to say about this very disappointing item

The Sistema Microwave Egg Poacher is very well made! Eggs poached in the microwave are delicious. Once you find how long and at what level you want your eggs cooked at, it’s easy. The poacher gives you a guideline, but since every microwave is different you adjust from there. It also depends on weather you like your egg yolk runny or not. The trays can go in dishwasher or you can wash by hand. It is my recommendation to hand wash the egg cups, but it is easy.

First, for those who are ‘disgusted’ by the egg in the water.... that IS how an egg is poached. Google it.If your eggs are exploding ~ you may want to check the time you set your microwave for... eggs usually only explode when the yoke is well over cookedThe eggs do not have to be at room temperature to use. I used cold, worked fine. I used warm water~ and a bit less than the fill line. Worked fine. The eggs were a little inconsistently cooked ~ that can happen with poaching. Everything cleaned up fine, no major sticking. I like that I can do 4 eggs at a time.Is this going to win culinary awards? Nope. Is it a quick way to poach eggs? Yup.
