The description says that there is an egg poacher with this? If there is, is it for one or two or three poached eggs and is it plastic or non-stick?

The egg poacher is plastic with an inside diameter of 4inches and height of 1 1/4inches. I fit 2 eggs in it comfortably with a bit of butter. Even without the butter..it probably won't stick. Good luck�

Like the others said, it is a small plastic bowl that fits 2-3 eggs. It is not non-stick and eggs will stick to it if you do not spray or put butter. Trust me, I had to scrub it clean when I forgot to spray it last time.

Not recommended. There are lots of "plastic" utensils available. I would look for one of them and not take a chance on scratching the non-stick.Just a personal recommendation.

I love my 6 egg poacher, I do not put it in the dishwasher, it cleans so easy, though. I read the reviews and one complaint I saw was that water will get between the lid handle and the disc in the dishwasher. It will also happen if you leave the lid soaking in water. I put the lid in the sink full of water for over an hour before I was able to get back to it and water was between the disc and handle. It was very easy to remove the screw and dry off the lid, so if you want to put it in the dishwasher you can easily get the water out. I found the cups clean so easy, but I do use a small amount of butter in each cup and I've not had any issues with them chipping. I would recommend this product.

Poaches 3 eggs and is white....I've had this thing for like 2 years now and it's a great, healthy alternative to my typical fried egg endeavors. Only tricky part will be finding the sweet spot on the dial to get your eggs cooked exactly how you'd like them (how runny you want your yolk to be)

The poaching pan is 7 pieces - 4 individual egg poachers, the ring that holds them which fits in the pan, and the lid. We love ours, use it all the time. Recommend using some cooking spray in the poachers so the eggs slide right out.

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.

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.

as previously answered- just one, or perhaps 2 eggs in the one poaching tray provided!

Sorry, I only use my cooker for hard boiled eggs so have not a clue about poaching.

The inside base of the cooker is stainless steel. The egg tray that holds the eggs, and the separate egg dish for poached eggs are both white plastic. Hope this helps

Hi LSS: Thank you for sharing experience with us! I guess we have to add water into this pan, before heating it; we shouldn't heat it dry because this can damage the base. So we actually add water to this poaching pan and put 2 eggs in the 2 small poaching bowls, and then we boil the water and cook the eggs with steam. If we poach eggs in an ordinary frying pan, we can add oil to the frying pan and then put eggs directly in the frying pan and cook. But with this special poaching pan, because the eggs don't touch the base, we cannot cook the eggs by heating oil. Compared with ordinary frying pans, this poaching pan can hold and cook the eggs in perfect round shape, and thus easy to fit into burger buns. Hi LSS: Thank you for sharing experience with us!

Hello. The cups are a lightweight metal (aluminum?) with a durable non-stick coating. This really is a nice poacher!

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.

I have never had any issues with food (eggs, or otherwise) sticking to this spatula. This is one of my favorites!! However, to be more helpful, I'll need a little more information... How does your husband prepare his eggs? (over easy, sunny-side up, scrambled, etc) What does he currently use to cook them? (Stainless steel pan, non-stick pan, butter, PAM, etc) And, what exactly is the issue that he's currently having?

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.

Mitchell...you can do three poached eggs at a time. You'll love this machine...I use it a couple times a week for poached, soft and hard boiled eggs. You'll play with a time or two and when you get it the way you want it your eggs will be perfect every time.

You can poach two eggs at a time. There is a tray with two sides. Just add an egg to each side.
