how do you use this thing?

Place the eggs in the cups after you have lightly buttered each cup. Add about 1/2 water to a 10" fry pan that you have a lid for. Burner on med. high bring to a boil, add Norpro Poacher to the pan, cover and cook for about 3 min. Do not let the water boil to supper bubbly. Check eggs for doneness, yolk should be still soft and whites cooked. Will take practice to learn cooking time as each stove is different with heat controls. Add to a toasted English muffin with very thin deli turkey and ham slices, top with egg and lemony hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict, yummy. I also allow my eggs to become close to room temp before using. Hope this helps. Takes Practice.

Add water to a 10 inch or bigger pan so Norpro Poacher is barely sitting in water. Add the eggs, cover the pan and let boil for few minutes. BUT the eggs sticks badly. So, I spray each poacher with non-stick and add a little oil so the eggs can come out fine.

The instructions offered by D.W. are very good! I also use a little butter in each cup so the eggs don't stick (even though this poacher has a nonstick coating) and I use a little silicone spatula to remove each egg from the cup so as not to scratch the nonstick coating. To test if the eggs are cooked, I jiggle the middle knob. By experience I can tell if the whites are cooked or still raw by how much the eggs jiggle in the cup. The four slots around the perimeter of the poacher are helpful for removing the poacher from the pan. Insert the tines of a fork into the slot and lift the poacher that way. The middle knob gets very hot and will burn bare fingers; use suitable protection. The instructions offered by D.W. are very good!

If this is one without a pan all I can say is that for me it didn't work. I thought I had a pan that was the right size and I didn't. And any I had that was close didn't have a lid that fit over the poacher tightly. So...I broke down and just ordered the one that was the complete pan, poacher inset, and lid, made to work together. I'm thinking this separate inset might be used as a replacement piece for the other one, which works great.

There is a pull up plug on this item and you just plug it in. I carry it everywhere.

Charge it for a while and then try to use it. You can use it while it is plugged up

You don't. It's a piece of junk. Send it back if you can. Sorry about that.

I never figured out how to use this piece of equipment. If u don't have this particular piece of equipment DON'T BUY IT. You cannot return it if it doesn't meet your expectations

I can't see any obvious way to do it but I have not read the manual. Sorry for the incomplete answer.

I wasn't able to use this thing, I couldn't get it work for me. Were you able to use this?

I mostly use it that way, but added real beans to hold the weight of my device. The other way I use it is to hold the device when I'm busy with something else and listen to books on tape.

Just use it. do not have to do anything, once it is opened it stays open until you close it.

I couldn't figure it out either. I'm gonna contact the seller. Hopefully that will help. I'll let you know if I find out how to use it.

If you are trying to use it, read the directions. Otherwise, I don't know what you need help with.

You would have to look at the package or description. I'm not sure the way I use it and the things I use it in.

You simply blow into it like a balloon - hold your thumb on it, then put the plug! Et voila! :)
