Norpro Nonstick 4-Egg Poacher, 8.5 inch, Black

I already have the perfect stainless pan I use with another egg poacher which fits perfectly but the non-stick surface is all worn off from the thousands of times it was used and still is used. This is why I bought this one. It seemed like it was going to be the right size but is just a bit too small in diameter and fits too low in the pan and gets the eggs splattered with water which you don't want. Make sure the poacher fits your pan properly as best you can before purchasing. It probably works great with another pan for all I know!

The only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of 5, is because the advertising says it "fits a 10 to 12" skillet" which it does not. Luckily, I had a smaller skillet that I use it with, and it works great. Other than that one thing, it's excellent. My husband and I have been enjoying poached eggs, like our moms made when we were kids. :-) And it's very easy to clean, too. I love it.

Save your money and don't buy this. I used it once and the egg whites are still stuck to the cups! The instructions say to put butter in each cup, but I used avocado oil. I applied it thoroughly to each cup. The eggs cooked just fine but I haven't been able to clean the cups. I tried soap and water, then soaked it in water for 4 hours. So far I have failed to get them clean. Not worth the effort.

The only thing I don't like is it sits on the bottom of the pan. My previous poacher was raised so water was underneath it.

This is on me, mostly, but being 8.5" in diameter, it doesn't fit any pan or skillet that I own. They're all too small or too big. It does cook the eggs just fine, just a bit of a mess extracting them once they're cooked.

This poacher is made to sit into a skillet and the handle makes it easy to insert and remove. Instructions are clear and it works like a dream. Easy to clean.

Walmart.com had best price around. Only used it once but it makes poached eggs a favorite of mine now! Only issue is having a hard time getting egg out. Have to use a metal spoon and afraid to scratch pan and makes a little bit of a mess. But overall happy I purchased pan.

two shallow came with no directions

Awkward to use takes another pan to use. who needs MORE dirty dishes ? Should have made it Microwavable.

this makes perfect poached eggs. they are cooked to perfection and the right size for eggs benedict...the exact same as the english muffin.
