"Great pan for Dads"
Bought this for my husband who loves to cook breakfast. Everything has turned out great so far. For those of you who might be new to pan shopping, this pan isn't coated with anything, so all you get is food in your food. Going to see what he's cooking now...

"Satisfied Poacher"
I have been looking for a poacher for a long time. I wanted to have the eggs I had when I was a kid. This poacher took me back to that time. A poached egg on top of a enlgish muffin.


"There is a trick to poaching without sticking..."
I won't comment on anything else other than how to avoid having the eggs stick in the cups, which many people complain about with poachers in general. The first few times I used the poacher, I sprayed oil into the cups then put in the eggs and started the cooking. But once they were cooked, the eggs stuck like crazy in the cups. I had to scoop them out with a spoon, which wasn't so bad, but the egg remnants were impossible to get out of the cups. Here's the trick - don't just spray oil into the cups. Fill the cup with oil (I use olive oil), slosh it around, then pour the oil out. The easy way is to pour it from one cup to the next and so on until you've oiled all the cups. Then pour the remaining oil back into the oil container. Put the eggs in and cook them and they'll drop right out of the cup with no stickage at all. That's it. Do this and you'll be happy with poaching. Use an oil sprayer and you'll make a mess every time. Hear me now and believe me later.

"Believe these other reviews and order it"
I don't usually write reviews but this product has made me very happy and I would like to relay my thoughts on.

I just bought my 3rd one of these poachers. The handle is not a problem, the cups don't melt, it looks great. Its worth every cent i spent and it is a good wedding gift. If its not American made, it should be. Its a simple attractive product that does the job just the way I want it to.

My concern is that I don't see where we get replacement parts in case, in 20 years or so, I need to replace the lid or cups.

I know that I should get on board with the new Ivy league management driven companies philosophies that want us to measure their sub standard cost reduced products life span in nanoseconds so we buy more and more often and to keep our economic system healthy (i.e. line their ceo's pockets) but I've had my belly's full of that tripe.

OK I'll get off the soap box. So, it would be nice to know if we can get spare parts for at least 5 years.

So in the meantime, we should pass the word to buy this "reasonably priced" good product and reward the thoughtfulness it's design. With some luck, that should help to keep it around for a while

"Now I Can Have Poached Eggs the Healthy Way "
When I found out that non stick cooking surfaces caused cancer, I reluctanly put away my egg poacher and started looking for one that didn't have the non stick egg cups. I might add that I looked for a long time before I found this one. I highly recommend this stainless steel egg poacher to anyone who wants a product that not only cooks poached eggs perfectly, but does it the healthy way. I couldn't be more pleased.
