Nordic Ware Non-Stick Egg Poacher Pan Insert for 10-12 Inch Skillets - Perfect for Poached Eggs, Breakfast & Healthy Cooking - Black

I was searching for an egg poacher and was glad to find that I could get one without having to purchase another skillet. This works great and all the eggs cook evenly without any feathering, waste or mess. I add a little butter or cooking spray to the egg chambers and they come out without any sticking. Butter works best. I use a silicon spatula to remove my eggs. They don't stick to the pan, but they don't slide out without assistance.Since feathering is no longer a problem, I started using this to poach eggs for salads like macaroni, potato, and tuna. Instead of waiting on eggs to boil and then peeling them, I poach the eggs until the yolks are set, cool them and then dice. A real time saver, especially if you forget to start the eggs with the pasta or potatoes.The Nordic Ware Egg Poacher is a simple and economical product that produces consistent results and eliminates the need to buy an egg poaching skillet. I recommend it and would buy it again.Tip: The use and care directions are printed on the back of the cover.Update 12/23/2020:I bought one of these in 2008 and had to buy another one because the original was accidentally added to my yearly donation box and given away. I hope it's enjoyed and taken care of by the next owner. I didn't think twice about getting another one. I like that using it requires a minimal amount of water, 1/2 cup of water, as specified on the packaging, so I don't have to wait for a large amount of water to boil. I still use butter inside the wells so they release easily. Sometimes there's a small amount of egg white left behind, like residue, but nothing that requires scrubbing.
