You have saved me from rooting through the bin bag looking for the instructions, from one Brummie to another ❤️

you could always get a Salter egg cooker, does boiled eggs perfectly and exactly how you like it and it has two poaching cups and are also brilliant. It's electric and you can set it to the settings of how you like your eggs. I'm a carer and many of the people have arthritis and as carers cannot use the hob for safety reasons, we suggest this as an option to do eggs. I've used them countless times for the service users and even bought one myself.

I would recommend a quick spray of light olive oil in the cups
before adding boiling water from definitely makes
getting them out easier. Also, pricking the yolk with a sharp
knife point seems to make it easier keeping yolk soft.

It might help if you boil the water in the kettle first and pour the required amount into the egg container. It would eliminate the finger burning step.

Or....spray the the inside of a coffee mug with spray light, add pinch of salt and pepper, 3/4 fill with boiling water, crack egg into water, 1 minute in microdiddle(800watt)....ta dahhh....perfect poached egg, runny yoke and doesn't stick... guaranteed 👍

Tip for a hard yolk: Mash butter into the yolk it’ll help to make it a little runnier. Dad always put butter into a boiled egg when I was little, if the yolk was hard.

I have a plastic (well a few) bowls with handles specifically for microwave use. I do soup, beans, scrambled and poached eggs in them, so a variety of uses. When poaching eggs I mostly just place the plastic lid that came with each dish loosely on the the top and just off to the side a little (so there’s a place for steam to escape). I do poached eggs for 2 mins cos my partner will only eat them with hard yolks (he’s weird).

Brilliant review, instructions followed exactly as on the package, as it should be done. Very interesting, thank you ❤

Love you presentation ❤️ You are so clear and you made it clear that if your struggling with hand disabilities. Act with caution due to hot water and difficulties opening it up . I got one from B&M My eggs were hard too. Yes I agree adjust the cooking time. Trial and error first but great . Well done . From another Brummie Jane x

I think I'd prefer to keep using a pan, but I think it's a great idea for people who find pans difficult. Great review and your views look really good for this one, well done!

I bought a similar one of these last year it worked fine but you must remember to pierce the yolk as sometimes the yolk goes pop. They are tricky to clean.

[gary.curtis]

love a poached egg..and microwaves have different wattages so your right adjust the times...now you have used once would be great to see if you can adjust the times and get the perfect poached egg...great vid think i might get one..

[RoissyAngel]

Thanks. This is really interesting. I think you would get them just right once you have experimented with timings. I would also place it on a large plate when putting in the microwave as it will be easier to handle and remove then. I might buy one of these. I think I would add a pinch of salt before cooking also. Amazing the things that YT suggest out of the blue 🙂

[Cleapatr]

To remove lid. Hold the grey base and push the lid horizontally with your thumb.

Saw a guy use one of theese without any water and in worked great he did his eggs about 70/80 seconds on a 700 watt microwave.

[emmsue]

Spray or wipe a bit of butter round the poacher, place in microwave. Use a beaker or small jug and hot kettle water to save all the fiddly lid and carrying around thing. I find my micro is fine on 30 seconds and then let the eggs just stand to continue cooking for about another 30..Trial and error for the first few times.. Thank you, I always struggle with my fingers on fiddly stuff like this. xx

[JimB]

Ha! I own almost the same thing! It does work very well with a drop of oil or bit of butter. Mine opens easily.

[steveflitton]

Yes I think half filling them with boiling water from the kettle would be easier. A few adjustments with the cooking time and I think it's a good product but I'd like to think the egg doesn't stick every time

[janeharvey]

What a good little gadget, I can never get poached eggs right in the saucepan so might invest in one of these. Xx Thanks Nat ❤

[rachaelsykes]

Hey nat really good video, I've still got my Nan's egg poacher pan i remember it from being a kid at her's, , think it does five really easy put water in bottom and has insert with hole's in for the plastic cups, I'm going to get it out today you've really got me wanting poach eggs ❤❤❤🍳🍳🍳

[jaynerobinson]

Hi Nat, xi use these. you just need to experiment with your cooking times as microwaves vary a little. Great review, thank you
