Lekue Poached Egg Maker/Poached Egg Cooker Set of 2, Orange

I messed up the first time. As you can see in the picture, it is a perfect poached egg for my eggs benedict breakfast. It is so easy to use. Easy to clean. Haven’t masters how to remove it yet. I love it!!!

A friend of mine got these and loved them so I decided to try them out as we are a big egg eating family. I wasn't overly impressed as they can get hot to the touch when in the water and a bit of a pain to take a peek to see if they are ready. Also cleaning them is also a bit of a pain as it takes some effort to get the egg out of the screen. The eggs though come out lovely.

After 5 failures, I decided to recicle this contraption as a tea infuser. It works like a charm.

For years I’ve been trying to achieve the perfect poached egg, with underwhelming results. I've tried most techniques and gadgets out there, only to be frustrated and settle for the gummy convenience of microwave poachers… Until I found this little marvel. Simple, minimal fuss, quick cleanup. With zero chef skills, just following package directions, I was able to produce a lovely rounded (not flat) poached egg, using regular eggs straight from my fridge (nothing fancy, but try to use the largest eggs available). I used nonstick spray on the mold, broke an egg in it and drained over a teacup while simmering 2 quarts of water with 2 tsp vinegar. I swirled the water before placing the poachers in for about 4 minutes, adjusting to taste. After removing each poacher, draining over a teacup, and opening the silicone cover, I placed a paper towel over each poacher and gently flipped it over my hand to place on a dish. Voila! I’m thinking of buying another set of 2, but I can easily reuse them before cleanup. Just place in the dishwasher or sponge wash with soap and water. Definitely the best results for the money and effort, in shape, texture, and taste.

not easy to clean

I thought this product would be great with the sieve, but when cooking, too much white sticks to the sieve. The yolk cooked fine, but there just wasn't enough white egg left.

This works well to poach eggs, but the screen mesh needs to be sprayed as directed or egg white sticks to it. Even with spray, a little egg white might stick to the screen mesh. Using parchment paper helps to not have egg white stuck on after poaching. Update: using the parchment paper really helped perfect the after poaching clean up! Finally perfect poached eggs after trying so many other poachers.

I am very pleased with this egg poacher. I use Ex. Large eggs, and this item is big enough to handle that size egg. I just add about 1 minute to the recommended time. I use a scrub brush to clean the strainer side of the poacher, and it's pretty easy. I would not hesitate to purchase this item.

funziona bene ma un po' difficile da pulire la parte metallica

It works perfectly and it gives you the opportunity to eat an egg in a different way.

I LIKE IT , THANKS . 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Difficile à nettoyer, l'oeuf cuit très lentement, diffficile à vérifier si la cuisson est à point

Ich nutze den Lékué Eier-Pochierer jetzt seit mehreren Wochen und er macht genau das, was er soll: saubere, gleichmäßige pochierte Eier – ohne Stress. Das Silikon ist hochwertig, geschmacksneutral und leicht zu reinigen (auch spülmaschinenfest). Wichtig: kurz einfetten, dann gleitet das Ei problemlos heraus. Die Eier behalten eine schöne Form, das Eiweiß läuft nicht auseinander und das Eigelb bleibt cremig. Funktioniert sowohl im Topf mit Wasser als auch in der Pfanne. Hitzeverteilung passt, nichts verzieht sich. Deutlich einfacher und reproduzierbarer als die klassische Methode mit Essig und Strudel. Kleiner Hinweis: Man braucht ein, zwei Durchgänge, um die perfekte Garzeit für den eigenen Herd zu finden – danach konstant gute Ergebnisse. Fazit: Wer regelmäßig pochierte Eier isst, spart Zeit und Nerven. Solides Produkt, sinnvoller Küchenhelfer. Klare Empfehlung.
