are the egg inserts non stick material or just the stainless steel?

The egg cups are stainless steel. There is no nonstick coating on any of the pieces. Good reason to buy it. We love this. Butter the cups before adding eggs and it works awesome.

The inserts are not non stick material, and honestly I'm wishing they were. It's not a problem getting the eggs out, but cleaning them is a pain.

They are stainless steel, which is why I bought the Norpro in the 1st place. No chemicals being leached into the eggs. I've found that coating the inside of the egg cup with butter, ghee, or olive oil prevents most sticking. Use of a soup spoon or a thin rubber spatula will dislodge the cooked egg very easily and in one piece!

The inserts are stainless steel. I spray them with cooking oil before use. Simple to use and clean.

They're stainless... and I LOVE this poacher. Use it every morning. Here's how I keep the eggs from sticking:Pour a tablespoon of olive oil (or coconut oil) in the cup; swirl it around to be sure that the whole thing is coated. Pour out the excess; crack the egg into the cup and poach. Voila! Perfectly poached eggs that slide out each and every time.

This was a gift for my daughter and she loves it. Inserts are stainless steel.

The egg inserts are just stainless steel, there is no dangerous non-stick material included. The eggs remove very easily, as long as you have coated them with butter or your favorite cooking oil. Clean up is a breeze, as long as you cook the eggs at the right temperature and do not overcook. My other half does a lot of the breakfast cooking and he has been looking for a good egg poacher for a long time. He says this is the best poacher he has ever used. It is well constructed and should last for many years to come. I highly recommend this poacher.

Bar keepers friend for stainless steel. And, a nonstick pan for eggs next time. Remember, the right tool for the job works best.

It is a dark coated steel, but not teflon. We make sure the cups are well sprayed with oil and use a 1" spatula to remove the eggs.

The Non-stick Cookwell is made of durable carbon steel. In order to maintain the non-stick surface, always use rubber, plastic or wooden utensils on inside surface.

stainless steel and I prefer it over the non-stick skillet surfaces. of course it will scatch with use.

The non stick coating is very adequate. You will not be sorry if you buy thes, they are awesome.

Material: Aluminum alloy These are great and work like non-stick even though I don't think they are coated. Plenty of room to store things inside while traveling and comes in a nice net bag. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure what type of metal it is.... it is not ceramic or glass but some type of metal. It is not non-stick. I'm guessing stainless steel?

It is stainless steel with copper coils/core on the bottom. No non-stick or anodized surfaces.

They appear to be aluminum with teflon coating. I usually just put a small dab of butter in them and after the butter melts just put each egg in, cover with the lid, gas flame on very low to maintain the heat set the timer for 3 minutes for a soft yoke. Of course with the clear glass window you can view and determine if the egg is done to your liking. I am really happy with this poacher and in fact I think I will go and fix two now with an english muffin..... Yum!

It is non-stick. I love it. It is my second one. My first one lasted almost 10 years and it makes it soooo easy to clean.

All pieces have non-stick. Its a great product but I use so much I need to replace about once a year. Feel better about not exposing kids and pets to all those nasty petro-chemicals.

It appears to be (may not be) stainless. As for "non-stick", not sure. Never had any prooblems with sticking, though.

It is just stainless steel and EVERYTHING sticks to it. I would not buy them again.

Both are non-stick and works perfectly fine so far :) You will enjoy for sure

The cups are made of aluminum, but they are coated on the inside with Teflon. If 'treated' right, the teflon is slippery on its own and you should not need butter or oil in them. The eggs SHOULD slide right out. But you can still use butter and oil if you like. It doesn't hurt the eggs any.

The material is a plain stainless steel. It is NOT non-stick. We have been very pleased with this product for making soups, stocks, applesauce, etc.
