Perfectly Poached




One of my favorite ways to eat eggs is by poaching them. In the past I have broken my egg into gently boiling water and had to chase my egg around the pan, sometimes breaking the precious yolk before finally scooping it up into my ladle.

With these silicone egg poachers I don't have to worry about that. I just place my egg into the poacher, place in boiling water, cover pan, and when the eggs are done to my liking I can just scoop them right out of the silicone mold. No more watery eggs. Perfectly poached.

I am in love with this new way of poaching eggs. Even better then my poaching pan that ended up rusting out from many uses. These are just right for our family. Each person can pick their color and let me know how much they want their yolk to be cooked. Everyone is happy.

You can find these silicone egg poachers on Amazon.

What  Kitchen Essentials has to say about their product.

These egg poachers are perfect for the kitchen.  They have a 100% nonstick surface and do not need to be oiled.  These poachers will steam-poach eggs in about 5 minutes.  Just crack open an egg; put it in the poacher; place the poacher with egg in a pot of boiling water and then cover the pot.  Poached eggs can be scooped out with a spoon for a beautiful-looking meal.  These egg poachers are FDA approved 100% food-grade silicone, and can be used for poaching, melting, steaming, and warming various food items.

Kept safe and sound


Finally the perfect place to keep my glasses at night or when I am in the shower. No more finding my glasses on the floor or in the sink. Easy to put my glasses inside as well as retrieving them when I need them. Pretty, practical, and useful.

I have one on my night stand and want to add one to our bathroom as well. Would love to see them come in more colors in the future.
