This is a very nice product. The only complaint is that the cups that hold the eggs are molded into the pan. Our last poacher had removable cups with a little tab-like handle. This made it much easier to remove the eggs. Norpro 9.5 Inch Nonstick Egg Poacher Skillet Set with Removable 4 Egg Poacher
I've tried other egg poachers, but none of them are as good as this. It is well made, sturdy and gives perfect results every time I use it ...which is often. I purchased the Nordic Non-stick 10" egg poacher. A huge mistake, it began losing the non-stick coating after the first use. It became unusable after using it a few times. The eggs cooked unevenly and stuck to the surface even when I used Pam spray or butter. Get this product instead and you will be pleased. I hope this helps.
This poacher works very well and is far superior to any microwave poacher. However, I have noticed after only a couple months use that the bottom of the pot is starting to rust. Does not affect the functionality, but wonder about its durability/lasting.
As devotees of poached eggs, we have tried a number of poachers. This is the best ever. We use a bit of sprayed oil and have never had trouble with with sticking eggs or clean up. The egg holding tray is up a bit higher above the bottom of the pan than most poachers, which we like. While we were not especially interested in having to buy a whole pan, etc., in this case, we are very glad we did! Enjoy!
I've had this pan just over 3 months and have only used it a few times. Already the finish is coming off the bottom of the skillet. It is coated with a very thin layer of nonstick coating, which is not durable at all and not high quality. I have always washed it by hand, not in the dishwasher, so it hasn't been exposed to harsh conditions, other than boiling water on the stovetop. Other than that, the poachers work well, don't stick, and so far are not starting to peel.
Package shipped in good shape, came on time, we like the product the eggs come right out with a little butter smeared in the bottom of each cup for the eggs. We liked it so much we bought one for our daughters family.
I like this, but I wish it was not quite so "clunky." Love the way the eggs just slide out and like the convenience of another good small saute pan, but the big handle in the middle of the poacher part is a bit clunky and makes it more difficult to store. I would still recommend it, however. - Egg Poacher - Calphalon - Nonstick - Norpro'
