I just used my Poach Pods for the first time today. I used soft butter on the inside of the pod and cracked the egg into it.Placed them into lightly boiling water, turned down heat to simmer and I left them in the simmering water for 7 minutes. The whites were fully and evenly cooked and the yolk was somewhat runny. I was delighted and am thinking about buying at least four more packages (of 2) to give for Christmas. The pods washed up beautifully.

This product is a complete waste of money. It was given to me as a gift, and turned the quick process of poaching an egg into a palava that left me late for work and with a hard yolk. If you like a poached egg, do it the way chefs do- water and vinegar in a pot. Do not waste your time or moeny on this complete piece of junk! I know this sounds cruel and will probably be deleted by staff, but I just so disappointed in this product.

Hi Jan and everyone who wrote in thank you!I wanted to answer Jan about his concerns. The Poachpods are non stick but eggs are a natural binder and stick to everything on the planet. However, by oiling your Pods and sliding a spoon around the edge of the poached egg, after poaching, the eggs come right out.I understand about the tiny amount of water that sometimes collects over your egg. This is due to using the lid when poaching in our Pods. This does not effect the taste,by the way, since the old fashion way submerges the raw egg in water it is quite normal. Also, the shape of your pot lid is important. Try to use one that does not have the handle attachment coming through the lid in the center. I use a welded handle and no water collects because the water rolls off the lid down to the side. The lids with a screw or something protruding in the center gives the condensation something to drip off of and into the Pods.In any case, here is a tip to help prevent any water from collecting in your Poachpod & on top of your egg. Bring the water to a boil with the pre-oiled Pods in the water. Once the water is boiling nicely, turn down to simmer and then crack the eggs into the Pods. Cover 4-6 mins and lift out and serve. Thank you all for the positive feedback. The success has been overwhelming.Kind regards,KraighFusionbrands

I've been using the poachpods quite regularly now, but think there's some room for improvement. Unless greased with (olive)oil, eggwhite does tend to stick to the pod. A bigger 'problem' is that condensed water from the boiling pan tends to collect a layer of water on the topside of poached egg. Resulting in an unevenly poached egg. But maybe I'm just not doing it right?Jan/Amsterdam NL
