To make poached eggs. The egg is placed in a cup, suspended over simmering water, using a special pan called an "egg-poacher". This is usually a wide-bottomed pan with an inner lid, with holes containing a number of circular cups that each hold one egg, with an additional lid over the top. To cook, the pan is filled with water and brought to a simmer, or a gentle boil. The outer lid holds in the steam, ensuring that the heat surrounds the egg completely. The cups are often lubricated with butter in order to effect easy removal of the cooked egg.

for poaching eggs. they are basically steam cooked. usually considered a healthier alternative to frying. however, the cups that are placed in the holes usually are lubricated with butter or non-stick cooking spray. the pan will have water in it, then the 5 hole utility rack, then the lubricated cups. once water is at a slow boil and cups are warm, put a raw egg in each cup. cover and cook for a few minutes. using caution not to burn yourself...dump the cooked eggs onto your plate. enjoy!

I use mine free standing on the counter in my travel trailer. It is the perfect size for shelves behind the RV sink. I cut plexiglass to fit on top of the two shelves and place my small coffee maker and other needed essentials for our camp kitchen. I am extremely happy with this product for our needs!!

The one picture with it holding ten cups has an add-on accessory called the N-Ice Rack. It is a freezable rack that keeps the cups cold and also fits inside these floating racks and expanded the cup capacity from 6 to 10.

It was for somebody else. They have it sideways next to sink so it leaves counter space in front. Size is compact. Other option is to get a rack that you fold and put away if you have little space. But if you eat mostly at home you do need a rack and this one might your purposes. It holds maybe 4 cups/glasses, 8-10 dishes and has cutlery tray.

I have two that I've stacked and they work great. You could probably do three if you do not have a cabinet that will obstruct the coffeemaker.

I don't normally have lids that small in the rack, but I do have a lid from a 1 quart Reverve Ware pan which is less than six inches in diameter which I used to test the rack and it works fine. So it would hold a 6.5" diameter lid.

We use it to temporarily store 2 cups of fresh hot, hand-poured coffee to sit aside the drinking cup of coffee...like a little countertop thermos. The lid is a perfectly snug fit so it keeps the coffee surprisingly warm without the need to keep it heated on the stove top or (heaven forbid) in the microwave. I guess the same way a french press sits astride a sipping cup, ready to keep the coffee coming.

My husband makes the coffee in our house and he said it works good for small pots there is a 3 to 5 cup option

there are five cups that fit in the tray, I believe there used to cook eggs (or to steam cook eggs like soft boil).

I also use a Keurig Platinum and I have no problem using it with the Handy Caddy. I feel that it works well for this coffee maker.

I suppose you could use it for storing K cups if you want to...maybe around a dozen could possibly fit.

I have the smaller one, but I'm able to brew smaller cups of coffee in it by adjusting the amounts of grounds and water.

I have 5 lids in my cabinet because I do not use them! I break these cups so I have to order 3 at a time. I can give you mine! Get in touch. Elizabeth

There are 4 cups measured on it but it could hold at least 4 and a half cups

There is a cup attachment that partially covers the holes. Be sure you have installed the inside base properly.

Rack also works great for keeping fresh fruit up out of its juice so it doesn't get soggy ie: pineapple/watermelon! That's what we use it for and it works like a dream.

Okay, I will change my answer: there is a slot at the top, AND two holes. I have not use it that way, but it should work!
