Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 973 Nonstick Egg Poacher
Customer Review: Egg Cups Are Too Small for Large Eggs
Summary: 1 Stars
This egg poacher insert didn't work out for me. The egg cups are too small for "large" eggs: the egg contents overflow into the cooking water. Also, when I followed the package instructions (fill pan with water almost to top of insert, break eggs into cups, simmer 3-5 minutes), the egg centers didn't cook, even after 7-8 minutes. The nonstick surface worked well, allowing me to slip the eggs into the water to finish cooking.
Apparently I should have brought the water to a simmer before adding the insert and eggs. However, because of the inadequate size of the egg cups, my insert went into the garbage after only one use. Poaching eggs in water has always worked for me--I bought this insert because I wanted to avoid wasting the portion of the egg that swirls away when you slip it into simmering water.
