Buying guide (What to consider when buying an Egg Poacher)

  • Look out for long-term-use Egg poachers: Most egg poachers don’t last. That’s if they don’t ruin your eggs or flip over while you’re poaching or melt in the microwave. Please be on the lookout for egg poachers and poaching cups that would last you for years.
  • Look out for user Reviews: I keep saying it, the best way to find out what people are saying about a particular egg poacher or poaching cups on Amazon is to check the comments, ratings and the questions and answers about the product. This is where you would find complaints from users who returned it and praises from users who are enjoying the product. Be sure to check.
  • Heat Resistance: Some silicone and plastic egg poachers will melt in the fridge if they are fake or not recommended for microwave use. It is usually stated in the description of the product. You can ask if the egg poacher or poaching cups are heat resistant before buying.
    Note: Most egg poachers are fake.
  • The base of the pan or cups: Some poaching cups tip over when you put them on a cooker. Others get very shaky. You should find out how stable the poacher or pan is in a cooker or Microwave. It would save you a lot of stress. Microwave poachers do not really need to have any special type of base.
  • Other needs: Most egg poachers can be used to melt chocolates, cook veggies, store spices and even more. Sadly, not all egg poachers can do this so be on the lookout for other things the egg poacher you would like to buy can do.

Most importantly, remember your preferences. You should not buy a microwave-only egg poacher when you prefer poaching your eggs with electricity. This is important because most egg poachers and cups are not multipurpose and you would feel cheated if you buy a single purpose egg poacher.
