OXO Good Grips 2-Piece Silicone Egg Poacher Set

There are some negative reviews on here which I just don’t understand. These poachers totally transformed my ability to make poached eggs. They’re easy to clean, work every time, fold up for storage, and two do fit in a bigger pan. Some people talk about the egg white escaping - not fresh enough eggs. I never EVER write reviews but I felt like this product is actually excellent so wanted to support it. Highly recommended.

They are okay, not perfect as a lot of the egg whites escape from the holes so end up with a much smaller poached egg than expected. The area to hold the egg whilst it cooks is also oversized, could probably fit 2 eggs inside but then it might be cooked through and my eggs are definitely not small ones. I will no doubt revert back to the cling film way of doing it as no egg escapes and the egg is a perfect shape.

At last an egg poacher that really works. Perfect poached eggs every time. Brilliant

They do work providing you use loads of water in a saucepan as frying pans aren't deep enough and would also require a large saucepan if more than 1 is required. For me having to use so much water and heat that water to a simmer takes a lot of electricity, too much. Therefore not cost effective to poach a couple eggs. They are too large and this is not necessary as a more shallow bottom section would be plenty big enough for very large eggs. I also think for what they are and do, much too expensive for a product that is good in theory but not practice. Now sit in a kitchen drawer.

These certainly do help with the whole poaching thing. Granted, you don't get a perfectly formed poached egg, but you do get a good one that hasn't turned into a cloud being chased by the Sun. Straightforward enough to use. Best in a saucepan that's got a little more room than needed to stand them both in water up to the neck of the poacher. Easy to clean when finished, Silicone is pretty robust and should last if not subjected to dishwasher detergent.

Another kitchen utensil that looks good at first sight but is expensive and absolutely useless in practice. Far too big for one egg each, you cannot fit say four of the grips into anything but a very large and deep saucepan, and hence is so wasteful of heat, water and effort. Loads of eggwhite escapes through the holes before it sets, even with vinegar, so you miss out on nutrition too. Better to drop eggs into boiling water in a frying pan, or just use a traditional poacher pan. As for these, avoid, avoid, avoid!

Does a great job - makes life a bit simpler and very tasty poached eggs!

Poaches eggs well but they are quite big Requiring a large saucepan for two

Encore un super ustensile d'OXO. Les oeufs pochés sont iratable, plus besoin de vinaigre ou autre, il suffit de les faire glisser à l'interieur quand l'eau commence à frémir, quelques minutes plus tard, le tour est joué. Repliés sur eux même, et l'un dans l'autre, ils prennent peu de place. Un basique de nombreuses salades ou tartines aux oeufs pochés dans ma cuisine qui m'a largement simplifié la vie !

Funciona muy bien, solo hay que bajarle al fuego para que no se muevan con el agua hirviendo

läs instruktionerna, finns lite tips där

Utilissimi per preparare uova in camicia ed eggs benedict, senza errori e senza grassi. Utile anche che i pezzi siano due per le famiglie numerose. Si lavano sciacquandoli, oppure in lavastoviglie e si piegano per occupare poco spazio nei cassetti della cucina. Consigliatissimi.

These things are magical!! Poached eggs are by far my favorite, I have a Dash steamer and although it makes amazing hard boiled eggs the poached (steamed in this case) is just so-so. I don’t have the knack for dropping the egg directly in the water as it tends to fall apart on me. I love these because I don’t have to separate the loose egg white, I can drop the whole egg in and it’s perfect every time. They are bigger than I expected, but that does not bother me at all.
