Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Use this simple microwave cooker to take the fuss out of poaching eggs. Place 1/2 teaspoon of water in each 3-inch cup. Add a cracked egg to each cup and pierce yolks lightly. Snap lid closed and microwave to taste. (Cooking times vary depending on the microwave's power.) Let stand a minute or two to finish cooking. Open lid and serve gold-and-white poached eggs on toasted English muffins, over hash, or with potato pancakes. The 7-1/2-inch poacher, made of hard plastic, should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

 Worked perfectly for years, and a great bargain! July 17, 2008

I have owned this poacher for about five years, and we poach eggs several times a week. So this little item has had quite a workout in our home, probably poaching hundreds of eggs, until one of the hinges broke off.
Here are some tricks to getting perfectly poached eggs in this gadget:
1) nonstick spray both cups
2) add 2 teaspoons water apiece (to get that "poached" texture)
3) cook in a microwave oven that has a turntable; and
4) experiment with the "right" time to poach in your own oven, since wattages vary a great deal. (I use 1 minute on 50%, but your oven is different)
I'm replacing my purchase today; also buying a 4-egg poacher because we use it so often.
 Poke the yoke! July 16, 2008

For the egg not to explode, only use a few drops of water and poke the yoke before cooking.
I leave the lid open a bit and have not had a problem. 2 eggs, 60 seconds, leave in for a bit. Sometimes they are a little soft, but when I make my meal I usually melt the cheese and meat with the eggs so I put them in for a bit more.
 Not worth it May 8, 2008
fiddler (02138)
I got 12 of this type of egg cooker and they went to the trash. Yes if you play around with the settings and stir up the eggs at the start and half way through it can work. But why bother when you can put two eggs in an uncovered 10 oz. microwaveable dish, beat them into an almost scrambled form add seasoning, cheese, etc and cook them the time needed at full power. I would give it zero stars but that is not an option.
Have to punch egg yolk with tooth-pick! April 14, 2008

Review by Dan of Arlington said his eggs exploded. I never had this problem. Egg yolks have to be pricked with a tooth-pick before cooking. I butter each cup lightly with butter, salt and pepper each cup, add eggs, a little more than tsp of water in each cup. Micro on high for 1 minute & 15 seconds, let rest for a minute. For speed & no hassle it's great!
Perfect eggs - No. Good enough -- Absolutely March 29, 2008

For under 5 bucks I don't expect the perfect poached egg out of the microwave. I don't expect anything perfect out of a microwave, so I was pleasantly surprised when this worked quite well. You DO have to read the directions carefully, and start out the time much lower than it says if you have higher wattage- which I think most people have. I cook 2 eggs for barely a minute, and 1 egg for about 40 seconds. It often cooks 2 eggs unevenly but part of that is just the microwave cooking itself or my mistake of adding more water to one side. If you want quick poached eggs without the stove this will work just fine.
