Kitchen Functionality Double layer Egg Boiler Vegetable and corn steamer

Poaching is a gentle cooking method where food is cooked using steam that rises from simmering or boiling water at the bottom of a pan or cookware.

An egg poacher or egg boiler is a covered pan equipped with a steel plate and egg holders featuring shallow cups or depressions. These cups hold individual eggs and allow them to cook evenly over the steam. Egg poachers come in various forms, including:

Individual metal poaching cups

Connected sets of cups

Poaching spoons

Microwave-safe poaching cups

Poaching pans with fitted cups

Electric egg poachers

Some baking dishes can also be used for poaching foods such as eggs, fish, potatoes, or tomatoes.

A perfectly poached egg typically has a soft, runny yolk with a delicate, fully cooked white and no raw residue. In countries where hens are universally vaccinated against salmonella, consuming runny eggs is considered safe. However, you may adjust cooking time based on your preference:

3–4 minutes: Firm egg white with a soft, runny yolk

5–6 minutes: Soft but non-runny yolk

7–8 minutes: Fully hard yolk

Always ensure the water is at a gentle simmer. Do not poach for more than 10 minutes, and never leave eggs unattended during cooking.

Please read the user manual carefully before operating the device. This egg boiler can poach up to 14 eggs at a time.
