Poachie – Silicone Egg Poacher Review
My wife recently bought the Poachie Silicone Egg Poacher, and decided to give it a try.
She likes her eggs well-cooked (firm), and I like mine very runny. We've tried devices like this before for the microwave, and they were horrible.
The Poachie actually works. It shouldn't be too surprising...it's not unlike the egg poachers of long ago (double-broiler with little pans for each egg.
It's a cute little white silicone cup (with a chicken face, of course!). You place the egg in the Poachie and then use a slotted spoon to lower it into a pot of boiling water. In 3-5 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs, it's done!
Be sure to follow the directions exactly as they are on the packaging. My wife started cooking them and after 3 minutes they were still completely clear on the top. I asked her if she was supposed to cover the pot while they cooked. She pulled the packaging out of the trash and laughed at herself. 
You have to have the lid on for it to work.
Also, wait until the water is at a rolling boil before putting them in, or it won't be ready after 3-5 minutes.
Lastly, make sure your pot is big enough for the number of Poachies you are using. You might want to test it in a pot of cold water before your first time. My wife used a sauce pan that was just a bit too small to fit two silicone poachers in, and the result was we could only cook one egg at a time.
Once we got all that figured out, they worked great! The eggs didn't stick to the silicone, and they cooked perfectly. The poached egg popped right out onto our toast, and the Poachie was ready to be used for the next round of eggs.
