Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Microwavable Four Egg Poacher
Customer Review: Fast, Decent Egg Poacher
Summary: 4 Stars
I would rate this egg poacher a five, if I could get it to make fully cooked egg whites with a liquid yoke. But try as I did dozens of times, I could not. But that is not bad; it is just irritating, because I happen to like dipping my toast in liquid yokes but not liquid egg whites. According to a recent call back on certain eggs brands for contamination of salmonella, having fully cooked eggs is not a bad deal, and this product will give you fully cooked eggs. So the 4 rating is a personal matter.
If you can live with fully cooked, non liquid yokes (no pun intended), you have a winner in this product. You will have to experiment to find the right cooking time and power level to get nicely cooked eggs from your microwave. The instructions suggest 30 seconds per egg at a middle power level; that did not work for me. I have an 800 watt oven, and I found that 45 seconds per egg at power level 9 worked best for me. But even that had to be adjusted when I used a different brand of eggs. I found that eggs purchased from Aldi's were larger than those purchased at Walmart's, yet both are rated large. The smaller Walmart eggs take fewer seconds each to cook - about 40 seconds each at power level 9.
I have had no explosions from making dozens of poached eggs with this product. I poked holes in the yokes using only a fork, and I puncher the yoke twice. Make sure you puncher the yoke and not just depress it. I found no difference in poking holes in the egg whites or not doing so. Also, I did not put a 1/2 teaspoon of water in the egg cup before putting in the egg as the instructions also say to do. I did put a 1/2 teaspoon of water in with the egg after poking holes in the yoke. I have had no explosions thus far. I do clean the fork before I do anything else with it as a safety measure against possible salmonella in the egg yoke.
The instructions say the eggs will drop right out, and they do with a wee little nudge from a small spatula or spoon. Don't use anything sharp or pointed to nudge eggs out to avoid scratching the cup surfaces. They will drop out extra nicely if you use a small bit of cooking spray in the cups before putting in the eggs.
The glory of this product is its quickness in making a decent breakfast. I can make bacon or sausage with toast, poached eggs, and juice or milk in under ten minutes. I start the toast or muffins in a toaster, cook the bacon/sausage in the microwave, prepare the eggs in the poacher, remove the bacon/sausage to a plate when done, place the egg poacher it the microwave, pour juice or milk, prepare toast or muffins when they pop up, and the eggs will be done soon after the toast or muffins. I put eggs and toast on the plate, and my breakfast is done in under ten minutes. I can combine the poached eggs with the bacon onto muffins and add a slice of cheese if I like.
The poached eggs will not be as pretty as those made in a conventional egg poacher, but you gain about 5 minutes of time or more in the trade off. Works well for rush mornings or any mornings really. When pressed for time, I can do without the liquid yokes; it might even be safer. The under the $10.00 price of this product and its speed of cooking time make it worth trying to find the right cooking time and power level for your poached eggs. I might add, it cleans up nicely, too.
