It is not required, but adding a tiny pinch of salt can help the egg whites set more firmly.
Yes, you can use one side of the poacher independently; just ensure you fill that specific compartment with water.
Yes, the Basilico poacher is manufactured using microwave-safe, food-grade materials.
Cook times are dependent on your microwave wattage. Higher wattage microwaves (1000W+) will cook eggs faster than 700W units.
This device is specifically designed for poaching. It will not produce the same results as boiling an egg in the shell.
Add 10-15 seconds of additional cook time in the microwave. Microwaves vary significantly in wattage.
Ensure you pierce the egg yolk once with a needle or toothpick before cooking to allow steam to escape.
Lightly coat the inside of the pods with a small amount of cooking spray before adding the eggs.
Before your first use, wash the poacher in warm soapy water or run it through your dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue. To use, place the poacher on a microwave-safe surface and fill the individual sections with enough water to cover the eggs completely. After cooking, always use caution when opening the lid, as steam will escape. The unit is compatible with all standard domestic microwaves. For care, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the heat-resistant surface. Simply rinse under running water after use or place on the top rack of your dishwasher for a deeper clean.
