The Eddingtons Double Silver Egg Poacher will hook over the rim of most saucepans or sit on the base of the pan. Simply crack the egg into the poaching cup and within moments you have poached eggs to perfection. The perforated base allows the water to circulate freely. No swirling water, simple to clean and no need for a separate space consuming egg poaching pan. Directions for use: Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and reduce to a gentle simmer. For the best results, add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil to the bottom of your egg poacher. Then simply hook over the pan, ensuring the bottom of the egg poacher is below water level and poach your egg to perfection. Made from steel with a non-stick coating.
