Would poached eggs stick to this pan?

Eggs are poached in boiling water. With water in the pan first, the eggs never touch the surface of the hot pan.

Yes, when I tried it a magnet did stick to the bottom pan. Hope that helps!

I agree with William, it should fit a 9.5 inch pan and the eggs stick if you do not spray or wipe with cooking oil.

Same experience here. Pan peeling, leaves metal residue on egg even after I've cleaned it thoroughly, now poached egg function is useless. Am hoping to replace.

To be honest, I haven't noticed it being a problem but then again I don't use the pan on a regular basis. I just put the lid on my pan and it does shift a bit. The eggs turn out fine though.

It will stick because people tend to make it too hot. The pan holds heat very well. A good olive oil is needed.

I would say yes. Our experience has been to use a miniscule amount of butter in the cups of this egg poacher; this allows the eggs to pop out easily and without breaking. We love this poacher and use it all the time.

I have only used to poached an egg. You don't use the little skillet when you hard boil eggs. The part you use to hard boil eggs is plastic.

I believe eggs, fish and similar items will stick to stainless steel unless you have sufficient fat in the pan. We make eggs on non-stick pans and reserve the stainless steel for browning and searing, which the All Clad pans do beautifully. There are no hot spots so the meats brown evenly. Fish skin comes out nicely as well. We love our All Clad pans.

No, I haven't had any problem with sticking, but I'm inclined to say that the best non-teflon nonstick pan would be a well-seasoned cast iron one.

Yes. You want to use a little butter or some type of oil. Make sure you use low-to-medium heat, and just the right amount of heat so that the eggs cook but not so much that it will scorch the eggs. You may have to play around with the heat settings to find out the right amount for your stove and this pan.

I never did eggs or omelets in this pan. I have sauteed various foods and if enough oil or butter is used it doesn't stick. Even if something does stick, it cleans up very easily. I will say it is a pretty hefty pan and hard for me to lift but I'm 72 and have arthritis so for anyone without any health issues this would not be a problem. All in all, pretty satisfied.

I use non-stick pans and haven't had any trouble with scratching. Since there is water in the pan, the poacher kind floats while the eggs are cooking.

No. Also, I don't recommend this one unless you are ok adding a lot of oil to keep the egg from sticking. I ended up purchasing a larger, better pan that does the job as expected.

Yes they do stick to the pan. The pan is heavy duty and good quality too. That is a plus

I use mine on a ceramic cook top without any problems, but haven't tried it in the oven. I've found there isn't much point putting it in the dishwasher as it is ineffective at removing the poached egg residue anyway!
