Demeyere Resto 18/10 Stainless Steel Stovetop Egg Poacher Set, 4 Removable Cups, Induction Compatible, Dishwasher Safe

If you're a fan of cooking fast and delicious poached eggs with easy cleanup, drop your 50 bones and get this bad boy (or bad girl). This in combination with my Duxtop induction cooktop has saved me so much time in cooking and cleaning that I'm now writing my biggest, most enthusiastic Amazon review yet. This baby makes perfect eggs for you to enjoy. Step 1: Fill pan 1/3 full of water and bring to boil. Step 2: Reduce heat to simmer. Step 3: Crack eggs into cups and place into cup holder. Step 4: Remove cups in under 4 minutes for your delicious poached eggs. Use your cell phone if you don't have a cooking timer. Incidentally, the base of the pan has a diameter of about 6-1/2" or 16 mm, which is the perfect size for my Duxtop induction cooktop. The price is fair, and after only 4 minutes of so, the lid is barely warm and definitely NOT hot. The egg cups, however, are hot, so I'd recommend using a mitt when removing them. This item perfectly poaches eggs in about 5 minutes total. Cleanup is a simple wipe, and you're still under 6 minutes. Does this mean I can enjoy delicious poached eggs even though I'm compulsively late for work in the morning, and somehow NOT make a mess and have a messy pan to clean when I get back home? Only if you're smart and get this thing. You can spread a drop of olive oil spread over the cup if you'd like the eggs to easily slip out of the cups. However, I've been choosing to skip the oil because the nonstick coating allows the eggs fall out easily with just a little help from a spoon. Cleanup is a simple wipe. It's easier than easy. Peasier than peezie. 5 minutes total cooking time, under a minute cleaning = 5 stars.

After 50 years using our teflon-coated wedding-present egg poacher with 3 wells, we decided that, since we usually poach 4 eggs, that longevity had given us the right to buy a good quality device. And it is: - FOUR wells - the right number for us. - GLASS cover - we can see the status of the eggs (though, honestly, after 50 years, a clock gives all the information we need: at 4 minutes the whites are quite done, and they finish cooking while resting on the toast, waiting for fork and teeth. - Non-stick cups = easy cleaning - Solid pan with heavy bottom won't warp and rock on the burner as our old basic poacher did decades ago. - Each cup has a (detachable) handle, so each can be lifted out to serve the egg. We just happened to have a soup ladle that exactly suited the ovoid cups of the old poacher, but this one doesn't require any extra tools for serving. - And it actually nestles in with our other pots on the cupboard pot shelf (your experience will differ).

Perfect poached egs in 4 minutes. We'll made and easy to clean. Love it.

I read so many comments about so many different egg poachers. I really appreciated those comments. This egg poacher is great. The pan appears to be a good pan. It has some weight to it with a nice bottom. The handle stays cool. I agree with others that it is a shame that the lid handle gets a little hot. Use a potholder. I wasn't sure how to remove the insert so I could get to the egg cups. Some people commented that the cups might not hold large eggs. Here's what I did the first time. I mixed, in four separate small bowls, 1 large egg and 1 T milk and whisked. Then I added half a stick of string cheese cut into cubes. I put less than a 1 t butter in each egg cup. Put the lid on and let the water come to a boil. Then I poured each bowl of the egg, milk and cheese mixture into the heated cups. Put the lid on and reduced the heat to medium low. After eight minutes, I turned off the heat, and I used a fork to lift the insert out of the pan. It felt very secure. I set the insert on my heat pad on my counter. That made the insert fall and the cups were easier to grab with a pot holder. The puffy eggs slid right out. In fact, by the time I got to the third and fourth eggs, I didn't need the pot holder. This was so incredibly easy! This was also a very pretty puffy egg dish. The cups held the large egg with the milk and cheese without spilling. Perfect! I hope this helps other folks, who may have tried to lift the cups out of the insert while the insert was still in the pan.

So far so good. Seems like a high quality product. I wish it would be a little bigger in size. Does its work. Love it. Haven’t seen any sickness so far. No assembly needed. Heat level is awesome.

Egg cups are great - nice non-stick surface. Easy to clean and remove any cooked egg remnants. Coating each egg cup with avocado or olive oil works beautifully for nicely cooked, easy-to-remove eggs from the cups. The pan is another issue. After less than 2 years, the pan interior is ruined, with slivers of metal flaking off of the pan and releasing metal into the pan as the eggs steam. Sigh - if only we could find a perfect egg poacher: durable, non-flaking pan interior and non-stick cups.

Didn’t arrive when I was told it would

We love this poaching pan! We chose it partly because it has a metal handle. Our last pan handle was made of a black material that overheated and cracked after several years. We are impressed with the heaviness of this pan and the egg cups that are bigger than those of the old pan. We used to be limited to cooking medium-large eggs and can now poach extra large and jumbo. We smear a small amount of butter on the cups before adding the eggs, and the eggs slip out when cooked by just inverting the cups. I believe we have been turning out the best poached eggs ever with this new pan. It is really nice looking too.

High quality item, cost a bit more but fully expect it to be in use for 10 years+

Schweres Pfanne mit gut beschichtete Pfännlen.

This egg poacher is very well built and does its job beautifully. I've used it to poach eggs three times and every time the eggs have come out perfect.

Excellent and reliable

Ideal size for our family. Works well with convection cook top. Easy to clean. Solid construction.
