Sistema Microwave Poacher for up to 4 Eggs, Red/Clear, 28.7 x 20.5 x 8.4 cm

Works good

The eggs must be room temp and if they are they do come out nicely. I just don't like the oval shape, I would prefer it round so they fit on an English muffin when making eggs Benedict. But it is a lot easier than my egg poacher pan on the stove!!!

Okay

It made poached eggs but most of white was stuck in the slotted cups. Then cleaning the cups was messy. This will go to goodwill this week. Sistema sells great products, but this item is not one of them.

The Sistema Microwave Egg Poacher is very well made! Eggs poached in the microwave are delicious. Once you find how long and at what level you want your eggs cooked at, it’s easy. The poacher gives you a guideline, but since every microwave is different you adjust from there. It also depends on weather you like your egg yolk runny or not. The trays can go in dishwasher or you can wash by hand. It is my recommendation to hand wash the egg cups, but it is easy.

Does not work well. Messy and very hard to clean.

It works but I have to spray the base and the cup both. Otherwise when the finished eggs slide out of their cups (which they do nicely), I'm left with a lot of stuck on egg whites that require some manual effort to clean. Still, I use it regularly even with this minor pain in the rump.

I filled two diagonal cups and got nearly perfect poached eggs using half power on my 1000 watt microwave in under five minutes. I didn't use any cooking spray and the poacher and cups rinsed perfectly clean using nothing but hot water, I only bothered with soap on principle. No issues with water in my eggs because I was patient enough to shake out as many drops as I could before dumping my eggs in a bowl. One reviewer was disgusted by putting the eggs where the water goes, but that's exactly how a poached egg is made and all you have to do is pay attention to your food when plating it to avoid watery eggs. If I didn't know the eggs had been microwaved, I wouldn't have been able to tell vs. one simmered in a pan. You could dump the water out after cooking the eggs and use the same tray as a bowl for toast dipping if you wanted to and minimize dishes. Nice bang for buck with this product.
