Make any meal fancier with these egg poachers
Some dishes are always better with a poached egg. Whether it's your morning toast, afternoon sandwich, or evening pasta, the silky yolk is difficult to substitute. Making a perfectly poached egg can take practice, but if you use an egg poacher, the learning curve will be less steep. Here are some of our favorite egg poachers to keep in the kitchen.
Cute and quick
Dash Rapid Egg Cooker
Staff Pick
This cute, rapid egg cooker from Dash can fit almost anywhere, and it comes in a variety of fun colors. Just spray the egg poaching tray with oil, add one or two eggs, then add water to the bottom with the included cup. Press the power button and a jingle will play when they're ready. You can also make omelets, hard-boiled eggs, or steam veggies.
Floating away
COZILIFE Silicone Egg Poaching Cups
Let your eggs float in a bath of lightly boiling water, without becoming a mess. These egg poaching cups are made of silicone and come in bright, fun colors. You don't have to stick to eggs, though -- these cups are great for desserts like jelly, cake, and even come in handy when melting chocolate.
More at once
Eggssentials Poached Egg Maker
Out of counter space for extra appliances? Then check out this nonstick pan that is specifically designed for egg poaching. You can poach four to six eggs at a time, depending on which option you choose, and you never have to worry about tipping them over into the water.
Funnel in
OXO Good Grips Silicone Egg Poachers
OXO is known for its useful kitchen tools, and this option is no different. One side acts as a funnel for you to crack the egg into while protecting the yolk. The other side acts as a cage so the whites of the egg don't spread in the boiling water. This produces a nice-looking and uniform poached egg on your stovetop.
The fastest
Nordic Ware Microwave Egg Poacher
Need your breakfast to be as fast as the time is flying by in the morning? You could be eating poached eggs in as little as 45 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave. This egg poacher can handle two at a time and is BPA and Melamine free.
Soak it up
If you're ready for ooey gooey egg yolks without much fuss, then the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker is for you. It's our top pick because it can make eggs at lots of temperatures, can steam veggies, and it plays a cute jingle when it's done cooking. It's small enough to squeeze into any small space and cute enough that you'll want to keep it out of the cabinet. The color options also match the other appliances offered by Dash.
If patience isn't your strong suit, then the Nordic Ware Microwave Egg Poacher is your best bet. Add a half teaspoon of water and one egg to each cup and you're done with the setup. Stick it in the microwave for under a minute and that's it. Breakfast can be fast, delicious, and hassle-free.
