Eggssentials Egg Poacher Pan Nonstick Poached Egg Maker, Stainless Steel Egg Poaching Pan, Poached Eggs Cooker Food Grade Safe PFOA Free with Spatula, Egg Poachers Cookware

After a half-century creating culinary masterpieces and almost as many equally impressively terrible dishes, I learned long ago that single-purpose cookware is almost always a waste of money. The ‘hot doggers.’ The mini-waffle makers. The “As-seen-on-TV” rotisseries. And the Make-a-bacon-basket-in-your-microwave and other contraptions. The most notable and fun were gifted from loved ones at Christmas and birthdays, and we’re grateful they even thought of us. But their novelty wore out quickly and just took up valuable kitchen and pantry space. But sometimes we actually need single-purpose cookware to do a fundamental job right every time. A good egg poacher is one. I’ve been poaching ‘the hard way,’ making tornados, for decades, but frankly, the technique has become such a pain in the neck because I can only do one egg at a time (impractical when entertaining) and my success rate isn’t high. Dedicated egg poachers like this product save so much hassle and have close to perfect results every time. Too, they can be used to hardboil without the tedious task of ice baths and de-shelling afterward. So I purchased the Eggssentials 6-egg poacher. Go big or go home, right? It’s very well made. The pan base is substantial weight, like better cookware is. The clear glass lid is vented (and tempered?). The insert is lighter weight and has non-sharp edges. The cups are big enough for my jumbo and extra-large eggs, and because they’re almost semi-spherically shaped, so the heavy egg yolks center in the middle of the white every time. I debuted the Eggssentials on a half dozen fresh extra-large eggs. I don’t like ‘cooking spray,’ so just used three drops of Grazo ‘Sizzling’ EVOO to grease all 6 cups with my finger. Then, I drained off each egg’s thin fluid using a fine mesh sieve, and plopped the egg into a ramekin. It’s important to do seive, because the fluid is superfluous and WILL impact your results. I seasoned and swirled each egg around to distribute the spices, and dropped it into a pan cup. Once the cups were filled and my pan’s water was solidly simmering, I inserted the insert, poached for 5 minutes under the lid, and checked. Several eggs weren’t as done as others, and it was because I hadn’t seived enough of their fluid off. So I let the entire rack poach for another minute. My eggs turned out almost great, but the well-drained eggs were more done than the watery ones. Next time, I’ll use a less-fine mesh to drain every egg better and equally beforehand Cleanup was trivial, and I hand-washed every part with a soft scrubber even though I have a great dishwasher. That said, I know this Eggssentials pan is a winner!

I am absolutely loving the Eggssentials Poached Egg Maker! This pan has made the whole process so simple and stress-free. It's not just for poached eggs but also versatile with any steamed recipes that works perfect! The build quality feels sturdy and well-made, and the nonstick cups work beautifully. The eggs slide right out without sticking, and cleanup is surprisingly easy. I also appreciate how evenly it cooks — the whites are fully set while the yolks stay perfectly soft and runny (just how I like them!). It’s been a game changer for my weekend breakfasts. If you love poached eggs but hate the mess or unpredictability, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Works perfectly. I am famous in our family for being a horrible cook. Got these - followed the simple microwave directions - and 45 seconds later I had two perfectly poached eggs with no messy pot to clean up and without needing assistance from my wife. Cleaning these is easy: a swirl with the soap brush and a quick rinse under the faucet. They stack so storage is easy. Great invention.

I bought the Eggssentials Egg Rings for Frying Eggs Pack of 4 Egg ring Large 3.5 - Non-Stick Pancake Mold Maker & Egg Mold for Breakfast Sandwiches. WHY I ORDERED THESE: - I totally love breakfast sandwiches, but I have always had big trouble ever making a simple over-easy fried egg! - This looked like a good solution, and it has been! THE GOOD STUFF ABOUT THEM: - Very easy to use. -Use a small silicone spatula to help release the eggs. DO NOT use any metal utensils or it will scratch the coating! - Super easy to hand wash, OR even just gently wipe these clean! - These Egg Rings make it so much easier for me to be able to half cook my egg and then use the ring to help slide the egg onto my spatula. - These Egg Rings look nice and their handles fold-up for easy storage too! THE NOT SO GOOD STUFF ABOUT THEM: - You need to be sure the egg rings are heated up along with your fry pan, or else the egg will leak under the ring!! - Be sure to butter or oil the inside of each ring, or the egg WILL TOTALLY STICK to the inside of the ring! - DO NOT scrub on these Egg Rings, or else that non-stick coating will get scratched! I HAND-WASH ONLY! CONCLUSION: - I am extremely happy with these Egg Rings to make breakfast sandwiches, or anytime I want fried, over-easy eggs! - I recommend to ONLY hand-wash these Egg Rings if you want them to last. UPDATE 04/08/2025: - I have now been using these Eggssentials Egg Rings for a little over 2 months now. - I still like these a lot, as I could never turn over an over-easy fried egg without breaking the yolk. - Now, I use these Egg Rings to get the egg white partially cooked on the one side before turning and that works well. - As I have been using these Egg Rings I have learned a few things. - They do NOT hold up well if put in a dishwasher! The dishwasher seems to ruin the supposed non-stick coating! - I only hand-wash these Egg Rings, as 2 were ruined in my dishwasher as the coating nonstick came off! - No matter how gentle I am with hand washing, the egg white sticks a lot and is hard to get off unless I soak them. - I am having the same issues with egg sticking on these rings as I do with the Eggssentials Egg Poacher Cups! - I do love these Egg Rings, and my Egg Poacher, but I still have to presoak and hand-wash the rings and the cups. - I decided to reduce my rating down 1 Star because the non-stick material is not as non-stick as I had expected! UPDATE 04/20/2025: - I am still loving my egg rings, even though 2 of them had their non-stick coating ruined in the dishwasher. - I placed another order for another set of the 4 Eggssentials Egg Rings on March 21, 2025. - Today is April 20th, 2025 and the Egg Rings still have not even shipped yet! - I am not sure if these Egg Rings have been discontinued, or if they are just sitting on a slow boat from China somewhere! UPDATE 05/25/2025: - I am STILL WAITING for my 2nd order of these Eggssentials Egg Rings that I placed on March 21, 2025! - Maybe these are now discontinued??? - Or, maybe these are on a VERY, VERY SLOW boat from China now??? - Amazon has not cancelled my order yet, so I am hopeful I will eventually get my 2nd set of these Egg Rings. - I need a new set, as 2 of the Rings from my 1st set got ruined in our dishwasher, SO I ONLY HAND WASH THESE! UPDATE 06/09/2025: - I am STILL waiting for my order of these egg rings I placed in March of 2025! - Now I see they are scheduled for arrival at the end of July 2025? - I think these have now been discontinued. Too bad, as they were pretty decent as long as you hand-wash them!

We love poached eggs and this pan makes it very easy. My husband likes his eggs runnier so I take his out and let mine keep cooking longer. Very easy to use and makes great poached eggs.

I have two of these, one 4 egg and one two egg. I do like these, or I wouldn’t have bought two of them. They have been upgraded some in the last year like new glass top knob, and I think the handle on the pan also not sure what else they upgraded the rest looks the same to me. They work great and I use them mostly for simple pouched eggs or eggs Benedict. POSITIVES are the work great, the pan is thick and heavy weight, the cups nonstick hasn’t pealed, handles and knobs are nice ,the pan doesn’t corrode, decent quality but not top end quality. They sell a lot of these and obviously care to some extent about their quality and product or they wouldn’t have upgraded them. Pretty easy to clean but most people want very easy to clean. It only takes a few minutes to clean in the sink. AND DO NOT PUT THESE IN DISHWASHER IF YOU WANT THE NONSTICK TO LAST LONGER AND DEFINITELY DO NOT PUT THE MIDDLE SECTION THAT HOLDS THE CUPS IN THE DISHWASHER OR THEY WILL CORRODE, NOT MITE BUT WILL CORRODE. That middle section looks like 304 stainless but it’s not, I believe it is a lower quality stainless steel and there are multiple different stainless steels out there. I think it’s a different steel from the pan also. The pan is not a good quality of stainless steel but it’s ok and it doesn’t rust. The middle section will. So hand wash these and dry off the middle section as soon after you wash it. DO NOT PUT THE PARTS IN THE SINK AND WASH THEM AT A LATER TIME LIKE LATER THAT EVENING OR ESPECIALLY THE NEXT DAY THE MIDDLE SECTION WILL GET CORROSION SPOTS ON IT I KNOW BECAUSE I DID THAT AND THE MIDDLE SECTION CORRODED, I was pissed. But I like them and nobody makes a better quality one right now these are the best on marketplace. NEGATIVES, not true stainless the pan gets discolored spots on it even after first use but it’s not corrosion , unlike high quality stainless pans like Cruisinart all clad and etcetera that use a high quality stainless steel. The middle section is obviously not a true stainless steel like 304 , it will corrode if left wet. This is the weak point of this product. It’s not the greatest nonstick out there you need to use Pam on the cups, no real complaints though I use Pam on nonstick anyway but they could use a little better nonstick though. The only real negative is the middle section that will corrode if left wet or put in dishwasher. I do like this product and use them every week. SO IF THE COMPANY IS LISTENING UPGRADE THE MIDDLE SECTION TO A BETTER QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL AND YOU DEFINITELY WILL HAVE THE BEST EGG POACHER ON AMAZON!!! By the way did I mention I really do like this product and I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM. So buy on and have a great breakfast and morning.

Pot is made sturdy. The egg cups are very nice. Spraying the cups lightly releases the eggs best. We have enjoyed the egg poaching pot. Easy cleaning. We have not used a dish washer with it because we don’t have one. Well worth the money spent. By having the extra cups we can clean the cups while the next batch cooks.

Wonderful Egg poacher!!!! Be sure to spray egg cups with Pam. So easy to handle with the cup grips and holder grip. 4 minutes worked perfectly. Great directions. Loved it!!

Good quality and functions well

I like this pan, poaches eggs perfectly. Mine didnt come with the silicone brush and the company gave me a credit to purchase my own, which was nice of them.

Only used it once and it worked well. I put a drop of olive oil and spread it around the cups before adding the eggs...3 minutes produced perfectly soft poached eggs.

Finally foolproof poached eggs. Quallity is not Demeyere for this price but its good enough and very very easy to use. I would buy it again and its a good gift option.

Love it!!! Perfect and quick food!
