How well does this unit poach eggs?

It poaches eggs perfectly. We use it for this purpose one to two times a week. Medium or Large eggs work best.

I tried it, it works, takes a little getting used to if you want your eggs runny, frankly I prefer dipping a raw egg in boiling water a minute or two, then placing it on top of a piece of toast, still dripping with a few drops of hot water to make my toast soft. Melts in your mouth, they are more chewy with the cuisinart.

It's low enough speed to whisk eggs to give an idea. I like it the speed options up to 16 though and it's powerful. I think you would like it.

Absolutely! I think it cooks two eggs better than one. I posted pictures of the pan with one egg and two eggs for reference.

Even if i was available, I recommend you not purchase thi egg cooker. We had it for about six months and it started leaking plus it never really cooked the eggs very well. Hope this is helpful.

It seems to be about an average of 10 minutes. I know I can do 14 eggs in two different batches in less than 30 minutes.

That's what I want to know and still can't figure out. Sorry I can't help. I do think it would be good for eggs if you can get it to work.

Yes, I do that frequently, for salads. Works great, you get nice clean slices both times, resulting in neatly chopped eggs.

my experience with th poacher is the the egg cups look like they do not stick after cooking but in reality they do no come out easily and leave a lot of egg stuck on the cup which is difficult to clean. we have not tried using spam on the cups to see if that helps.

Ours has worked nicely with various foods. I'd be hesitant about raw eggs unless you have a pretty rigid container for them. (I know we used to have a plastic 6-egg case that could stand weight topping it.) The car cord works nicely when traveling but I don't know how much it would drain the battery if connected overnight. The AC adapter has let us leave the unit plugged in for several days, keeping contents nicely cold. And, I guess, there'd be times that reversing the plug would let you keep stuff warm, too, although we've never tried it.

I add maybe inch of water heat until just boiling. Then place egg cups into ring add one egg to each cup cover and poach eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. I prefer 4 minutes. Remove eggs from cup and enjoy.

so far so good... I cook eggs about twice a week and cleanup is pretty easy. I use canola oil or something similar. I am very careful not to scratch the pan and I don't subject it to extreme temperatures.

I don't know I got one for my son & one for myself, I have used mine several times & I think you need to use the poacher till you get the hang of just how high your heat needs to be & how long you need to cook till you get the eggs cooked the way you want.

Theoretically yes - but I've yet to get it to work well. One problem being the rounded bottom so that you need to have it balanced in something, something with water (where the water can still steam up and circulate) seems to work best, and then using a plastic shield cover as well. Doing a scrambled egg might work better than poaching if you don't have the cover. The microwave egg cookers work better. These do work well for baking molds - but again, the rounded bottom means it has to be balanced somehow to keep it from tipping over.

Sorry, I only use my cooker for hard boiled eggs so have not a clue about poaching.

It has a very teeny needle on the egg slicer and it works great. You see the little things in between the two egg slicer's it turns to unlock and you get a needle that pops up! It works very good so does the egg slicer! Love it!�

I was terrified also, but it works perfectly. I am thrilled with mine (and have been for more than 10 years). Even the freshest of eggs can be hard-boiled then peeled. Just be sure you have the proper amount of water and that the plastic covers the metal. It is truly a "Gimmick" which Works! hoorah!

I poach eggs all the time but I use the measurement on the cup for the soft. Add more water, up to the top level for fully cooked. I love my poached eggs a little runny. The cup is hard to read though.
