Silicone Egg Poacher Cups with Ring Standers, Egg Boiler Mold Cup for Microwave Air Fryer Stovetop Cooking, Non-Stick, BPA-free, Set of 4

I have successfully used these twice and look forward to them hopefully lasting a long time.I have a 7"D/2"H fry pan with clear glass lid from an egg poacher whose peeling cups had to be trashed. I'm now poaching my eggs in that pan, in these silcone cups, in 1" of water, as directed. Nothing else is needed to brace the cups. While the silicone cups are a bit taller than the pan, the tall sides flop down, anyway; and no harm is caused by them being pushed slightly by the pan lid.While the ad cites "egg standers", there is not some special "stand"...I think they are referring to the design of the bottom of the cups themselves. I have a small glass spray bottle I use for applying oil to cook/bakeware, to avoid aerosols. I find a very small squirt from that (also tried non-aerosol avocado oil spray), to lubricate them prior to adding the eggs, works well. The (rather cheap...not expected to last long) "brush" is used to spread the lubricant easily, and the eggs do not stick at all. Once the brush is "wet" for the first cup, it lasts to coat the second, too. I haven't tried more than two at the same time, so I'm not sure if that could continue to a third and fourth cup. I've not tried any cooking method other than stove top, so cannot comment on microwave or etc. Also have not yet put them in a d/w; but hand washing with hot, soapy water is easy.I do not like loose yolks, so even though "poached" implies such state, I cook mine longer, till the entire egg is firmed. I accomplish that by setting the cups (same as previous "non-stick" ones) to simmer with the cover on for approx 8-10 min. for large or xlarge eggs. Being able to see through the colorless glass cover helps me monitor this. Sometimes, I even leave them setting, after turning off the heat, while I ready other items or take meds, etc. Since these cups taper, the outer edges do cook a bit more than the center, but I've not had any issue with overcooking or taste changes. As I don't like loose yolks and prefer scrambled eggs to "fried" ones (whether sunny side up OR over), preferring no separation of white and yolk, I might try to experiment, also, with scrambling an egg prior to placing it in the cup.So happy -- so far! - to have found a better replacement for what I used to have.Therefore, though wishing for a more promising-looking brush, I do recommend this product.

LIKE THEM VERY MUCH AND EASY TO CLEAN TOO.

I can finally poach eggs in 5 mins or under. They are great. So easy to use and clean.

My husband and I love poached eggs, but they are so messy to make and you loose so much of the white. Be sure to spray with cooking oil ( I use butter flavor) , add the egg, place cup in a pan of water, cook ( I covered the pot) and remove with tongs. Easy to clean too!Great buy.

I don't think we used them properly. We tried to cook poached eggs in our foodie and they overcooked the yolk but didn't cook the egg white all the way through. I'm sure its something we did wrong. Otherwise, they fit in our foodie easily and clean up pretty well.
