One of the biggest health benefits of poached eggs is that you cook them directly in water with no added fat or grease. The lower heat cooking method reduces cholesterol and helps retain most of the eggs’ nutrients. Just as great is that all of these factors add up to fewer calories for your most important meal of the day.
These poachers will coddle your eggs in more ways than one. We think we’ve found you some, ahem, egg-cellent poaching options.
Six eggs at a time
Load your eggs and set the timer, set the table, then enjoy. We love how we get perfect eggs every time with the DASH. This egg poacher is great for busy families. Not only poached but hard and soft boiled, scrambled, and even omelets are in this poacher’s wheel coop. Boiling, poaching, and omelet trays are all included so you can prepare your meal in less than 10 minutes. Plus the pieces store right in the cooker. Imagine, serving a dozen deviled eggs in under 15 minutes.
Great results every time
We love the glass lid that makes it simple to check the progress of your eggs. Plus, pop out the poacher and use the stainless steel pan for cooking. We love how easy it is to separately make scrambled, boiled, and poached egg breakfasts all at the same time. With the included silicon spatula, your creations will slide right out of the tray and onto your plate.
Smart alternative
These little poachers are so cute. Yellow, pink, turquoise, and green, these food-grade silicone containers add some color to breakfast. We like the practical design of these non-toxic egg poachers. Designed to be used in the microwave, oven, or the stovetop up to 400℉, it’s a great alternative to egg rings. And much like the 1980s Weebles toys, these egg poaching cups may wobble, but they won’t fall down.
Space saver
This countertop egg poacher does more than poach. It boils. It steams. It scrambles. And it’s dishwasher safe. Enough for 14 deviled eggs, this electric seven egg poacher is convenient. Perfect for the RV, dorm, or apartment, the little poacher saves space and time. It’s got a timer and an auto-shut-off feature to ensure your eggs are perfect every time. We love that this appliance somehow boils the eggs so their shells come right off.
Heavy-duty construction
From the cooktop to the oven to the dishwasher, this skillet poaching pan is such a great addition to any kitchen. We love how the heavy-gauge aluminum transfers heat evenly to poach perfect eggs. The well-fitting stainless steel lid keeps the steam in for even cooking. The removable non-stick tray holds four nylon cups. We think it’s great that even if you’re not poaching something, it’s still a really nice skillet.
