FAQs

How much water should I use?

Refer to the fill lines marked on the poacher base. Generally, enough water is needed to cover the bottom and create steam.

What is the recommended cooking time?

Cooking times vary by microwave wattage and the number of eggs. Typically, it takes 1-2 minutes for one egg and 2-3 minutes for two. It's best to start with a shorter time and add more as needed.

Can I use this for other foods?

This poacher is specifically designed for poaching eggs. Using it for other foods may yield unpredictable results.

Is it safe to put in the dishwasher?

What does BPA Free mean?

BPA (Bisphenol A) is an industrial chemical. BPA-free means the product does not contain this chemical, ensuring it is safe for food contact.

Can I use this on a stovetop?

No, this product is designed exclusively for microwave use and should not be used on a stovetop.

Troubleshooting

Eggs are overcooked or rubbery.

Reduce microwaving time. Cooking times vary significantly based on microwave wattage. Start with shorter intervals and check for doneness.

Egg whites are not fully cooked.

Increase microwaving time slightly. Ensure the lid is properly secured to trap steam.

Water splashes during microwaving.

Ensure the poacher is not overfilled and that the lid is securely in place. Do not place directly on the turntable if it causes instability.
