Perfectly Poached Eggs
These egg poacher boats are well designed and functional. Reading other’s review on some of the criticism may suggest they lack cooking technique. I use Pam to coat the interior of each boat then add a pat of real butter. Pam is sufficient to reduce sticking but coupling it with butter adds to the coating and enhances taste. I am careful not to start with too much water in the pot and only fill it to 1/4 or less. Too much water causes splashes during boiling, which boils the egg from the top instead of steaming. I bring the water to a high boil then reduce it to a gentle boil before introducing an egg. I break my egg directly into a boat and use a long handled tong to place the boat into the water. I set the timer for 15-20 minutes for soft eggs with a bit of juice; or 20-25 minutes for very firm eggs. Prepare your serving plate by folding a paper towel in half. Place it across the center of the plate. Using tongs, remove a Boat from the pot with tongs and use your other hand to guide it over the plate. Tilt the boat. The egg will slide onto the paper towel. Bend the paper towel ends up and pat any water on the egg. Finally, take both ends of the same paper towel and flip gently flip it over onto the plate. Discard the paper towel. Eggs will always need to be dried a little even if the water doesn’t boil on them. They’re cooking in hot water with a lid, which creates steam, then condensation inside the pot. Many chefs poach eggs by breaking them into a pan of boiling water, which requires draining and drying. These cute boats are actually pretty phenomenal and well thought out by someone who understood poaching eggs. Did I mention that 4 boats were less than $2 each? Enjoy.

Cute silicone cups but not for microwave eggs
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted to replace a very old microwave egg poacher. Thought these would do the job. Not so. Making "poached" style eggs in these is near impossible in the microwave. The egg is either under cooked or explodes. Still experimenting with power levels and cook times. I'm sure these would be great for poaching eggs the old fashioned way - in a pan of water with a lid. I'll likely be using these as mise en place bowls. Which is fine. They wash up well in the dishwasher.

Hand wash - may retain dish pod flavors.
Works well. Suggest Hand wash. Noticed the silicone retained cascade dishwasher pod flavor, even dawn dish soap mild scent transferred to my eggs. Now use a free and clear dish soap and use them most days.Try olive oil, butter, salsa, etc in bottom. Use a spoon to scoop out your perfect eggs.
