Egg Poacher FAQs – New Zealand
How do I use an egg poacher?
Fill the poacher base with water, place the eggs in the poaching cups, cover with the lid, and heat until the eggs reach your preferred firmness. Avoid overfilling with water to prevent splashing.
Can I poach multiple eggs at the same time?
Yes, most egg poachers are designed to cook several eggs simultaneously. Make sure the eggs have enough space and that water covers the correct level for even cooking.
How do I clean my egg poacher?
Allow the poacher to cool, then wash it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals to protect the nonstick surface.
Can I use my egg poacher in the microwave?
Only if the poacher is specifically designed for microwave use. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid melting or warping.
What is the best way to prevent eggs from sticking?
Lightly grease the poaching cups with oil or butter before adding the eggs. Using fresh eggs also helps reduce sticking and results in better-shaped poached eggs.
How long does it take to poach an egg?
Cooking time varies based on egg size and desired firmness. On average, it takes 3–5 minutes for a soft poach and 5–7 minutes for a firm poach using a stovetop poacher.
