Easy Cook NS606 2 Cup Microwave Egg Poacher

Thanks to all the other excellent positive reviews on this item I bought one and tested it this morning. My microwave is 900watts which is very powerful but I did what reviewers and the instructions recommend - one third fill both chambers with water - mwave on full for 60 seconds. Dropped just one egg into one of the indents. Microwaved full power 40 seconds. Tested it visually and it looked like it could use 10 seconds more. Did that. Result perfect - whites solid and no runny uncooked matter. Yolk was runny but not thin, just nicely runny thick which is the way I like it when boiled fried or poached. As I didn't need a poached egg at testing time, I popped the egg into a shallow pan of boiling water and cooked for one minute more to make it hard boiled and then used it for egg mayonnaise with pepper and chives. So that saved time and energy being 2 minutes 50 seconds and no shell to peel when cold. Compare that with 10 minutes boiling a hard boiled egg and you can see how this is a really great little method. Instructions say you don't need to prick the yolks with a pin. So I didn't ! And no exploding egg pebble dashing the microwave innards either! Full marks for this device.

I LOVE this item - but with a particular ISSUE that I will cover below - poached eggs on toast in under 2 minutes GREAT!!! The features listed above I rated as follows: "Easy to clean" - I took this to mean on the INSIDE and, as I apply a light coating of oil onto the inside of the "cups" before each use, then the residual poached egg come off pretty easily. "Sturdiness" - this IS for sure because I have arthritic hands and have dropped this unit a few times with no damage (fortunately whilst it's been empty lol). Now for my ISSUE "Easy to remove" - I have interpreted this to mean removing the top half from the base. And I have to say, when you need to get your poached eggs out and on to your plate this bit is a nightmare. With the unit getting quite hot (obviously) forming a seal between the 2 halves and there is nothing to get hold of to remove the top. Although not a deal breaker -unless you have asbestos fingers, without using a thin blade removing the top half is a challenge to say the least. The top half could do with some kind of "tab" at 90 degrees to the flat to give something to get hold of (I'm going to put my 3D printer to use to see if I can sort this issue out lol). All in all the product works well - I reduce the cooking time slightly because I like my eggs soft and runny - but if/when I find a solution to the top removal I may well need to adjust my timing. This is a much better solution for cooking poached eggs than boiling copious amounts of water which just adds to the time (and cost) of preparing a "quick" snack.

I think it’s an app with these kind of Egg poachers. I use it now and again, I still haven’t discovered how to cook the perfect Soft yolk poached egg.A little butter lining the bowls of the itemAnd then cracking the egg into it seems to work better than water, but you need less time it cooks faster.

Dead easy to use - works really well, and quick. Good results but sometimes the egg sticks a bit to the plastic making them hard to clean properly. You need a good fine-bladed spatula to get the eggs out cleanly though.

Exploding eggs? Lid sticking? Difficult to clean? What ARE you doing with it? I was almost put off buying this going by some of the reviews but the truth is, this is so simple to use and it does what it says - it cooks poached eggs! I read the instructions, popped the poacher into my (1000W) microwave oven, heated the water like it said - no I did NOT need a line to tell me what 1/3 of water looks like, I used my BRAIN - and then dropped the eggs into it and cooked it for 45 seconds just like the instructions said. The result? No exploding eggs, no lid sticking, no problem cleaning it (*it's called a sponge, try using it*) and perfect cooked eggs. This little gadget is just great.

This review is for the twin microwave egg poacher. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to make a decent poached egg with those. Because the eggs don't rotate there (obviously), it's either the yolk comes out half-cooked from the bottom or the white is basically uncooked if you want a liquid yolk. I tried several times, and with the same outcome. Disposing of the half-cooked white is unpleasant : can't put it in the sink, and it's too watery for the compost bin. I end up wasting a lot of paper towels.

Love the results,

I read other reviews in this product before purchasing it . Some said product was great others were less then impressed. I idea was great poached egg in a micro wave how cool is that . I've used it to poach a few eggs already without any problems. But adjusted the cook time slightly according to the size of egg and how well hard you like them. Have found 45sec is perfect for medium eggs however smaller eggs only need 40 secs for a soft poached egg and 50 secs for a soft poached large egg. And for those out there that said their eggs burned I would like to point out that a standard bench Mark for a microwave power is based on an 800w unit. If you have a higher powered microwave then you should either adjust the cook time or reduce the power accordingly . I had no problems cooking 8 perfect poached eggs .

have to try it again, and try to get the water right.

parfait pour cuire des œufs en vitesse , 1 minute dans le four à micro ondes et hop voici des œufs semi cuits. si vous voulez un peu plus fermes pas de souci vous le laissez 15 secondes de plus et le résultat est là . du fait de la transparence du cuit œufs c 'est très pratique à voir si ok où alors un peu plus cuit et tout cela sans graisse. se lave facilement .

Ottimo acquisto, indispensabile in cucina. Uova per il brunch in 1 minuto. Frittatine baby al parmigiano in 45 secondi. Hamburger in 2 minuti. Le uova cuociono alla perfezione, ma noi lo usiamo per la preparazione di mini frittate, mini gateaux di patate, per riscaldare legumi e verdurine. Cuoce il composto liquido per muffin dolci e salati e quello per brownies. Data la forma, cuoce hamburger e polpette grosse fatte in casa e potrebbe essere utile ad esempio per il controllo delle porzioni. Facile da pulire, occupa poco spazio, il materiale è buono, non si riga, i cibi non attaccano. È a prova di imbranato. Piccolo, ma non troppo... riesce a preparare un paio uova alla benedettina mettendo sul fondo la classica ciambellina e sopra l'uovo intero. Consigliatissimo! Ne sto ordinando un altro da regalare.

Es exactamente como me esperaba. Muy fácil de usar y de limpiar! Tendrás los huevos hechos en un periquete .

Funktioniert super, mit der Temeperatur in der Mikrowelle muss man etwas rumprobieren. Sehr geringer Aufwand & kaum Abwasch, kein rumgedrehe im Kochtopf und die Frage ob es nun was wird - super Teil!
