Ideal for eggs Benedict or corned beef hash, this pan poaches four perfectly shaped eggs at once and, when the egg cup tray is removed, also serves as an 8-inch skillet. For easy cleanup, the pan and the tray are nonstick both inside and out. The cups lift out of the tray with easy-grip handles so eggs can be served with care. Both the lid’s knob and the pan’s handle are highly polished 18/10 stainless steel. The handle is hollow to stay cool on the stovetop, nice…

2002: WELL, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE NICE TO HAVE A WELL MADE EGG POACHER HANDY. AS I ASSEMBLED THE PAN I THOUGHT IT LOOKED PECULIAR…THE NON-STICK COATING IS CONTINUOUS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE PAN TO THE OUTSIDE; AND IS ALSO ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE LID. IT LOOKS LIKE A HARD-ANODIZED “WANNABE”. THE CUP HOLDING INSERT IS A BIT FLIMSY AND THE BLACK CUPS ARE JUST A BIT SMALL.THERE IS A WARNING NOT TO LET THE PAN GET TOO HOT BECAUSE THE EGG CUPS WOULD MELT ABOVE 200 DEGREES…THIS SEEMED A BIT STRANGE SINCE WATER BOILS AT 212 DEGREES. I WASHED ALL THE PARTS, COATED THE CUPS WITH A BIT OF OLIVE OIL TO HELP THE EGGS SLIDE OUT MORE EASILY. AS THE WATER HEATED UP, I STARTED TO SMELL A PECULIAR ODOR LIKE PETROLEUM BY-PRODUCTS. I WASHED EVERYTHING WELL SO I EXAMINED THE PARTS AND TRACED THE ODOR TO THE PLASTIC CUPS. THE PLASTIC WAS OUTGASSING THIS UNPLEASANT ODOR NO ONE WOULD WANT IN THEIR EGGS. I DECIDED TO LET THE WATER SIMMER A WHILE TO DISSIPATE THE ODOR.I RE-WASHED THE CUPS AND DECIDED TO TRY ONE EGG. IT LEFT EGG RESIDUE IN THE CUP EVEN THOUGH I LUBRICATED IT FIRST. I HAVEN’T TRIED IT AGAIN. I GUESS THE SMALL COVERED PAN MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I MIGHT TRY IT AGAIN SOON. SEEMED LIKE TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO SHIP BACK A 15 DOLLAR ITEM. IT CAN POACH EGGS…BUT IT’S THE LEAST IMPRESSIVE FARBERWARE ITEM I’VE PURCHASED.
2006 UPDATE; STILL A PIECE OF JUNK…GOING INTO THE GIVE AWAY PILE. USED IT TWICE…USELESS! CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS STILL BEING SOLD!

Don’t waste your money or time. This poacher doesn’t do what the package implies. The egg cups are plastic and besides the odor, the eggs stick no matter what you do. Cleaning is impossible, and I doubt if the plastic is a healthy material to cook eggs in.

Very attractive appearance of product, but the egg cups are a thick plastic and poor conductor of heat, so it cooks poorly. I replaced it with a poacher with metal cups. I consider it useless. It takes way too long to produce a poached egg and even then the egg is not quite right.
