FAQs
How do I clean the egg poacher?
Hand wash the poacher in warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Can I put the egg poacher in the dishwasher?
No, the egg poacher should be hand-washed only to preserve the non-stick coating.
What kind of oil or butter should I use?
Use a small amount of butter or olive oil to coat the bottom of the poacher. This helps prevent the eggs from sticking.
How long should I poach the eggs?
Poach the eggs for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Cooking time may vary depending on your stove and preference.
Can I use this poacher for hard-boiling eggs?
Yes, it can be used to lift hard-boiled eggs from the pan, allowing water to drain away.
What is the poacher made of?
The poacher is made from powder-coated steel with a non-stick and PFOA-free coating.
What if the eggs break in the poacher?
If an egg breaks, carefully remove any shell fragments and continue cooking. The non-stick coating should prevent the egg from sticking excessively.
Troubleshooting
Eggs sticking to the poacher
Ensure you are using a non-stick spray, butter or oil to coat the poacher before adding the eggs. Also, avoid overheating the pan, and do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Difficulty removing eggs
Gently loosen the edges of the cooked egg with a spatula before lifting the poacher.
Poached eggs not cooked evenly
Ensure the water is simmering, not boiling rapidly. The perforated base allows for even cooking, but the water temperature is crucial.
