Egg Poacher

Egg poachers are kitchen tools used for cooking eggs in a controlled and consistent manner. They typically consist of a pan or pot with individual compartments or cups designed to hold and cook eggs. The cups are usually non-stick or made of silicone to prevent the eggs from sticking to the surface.

Egg poachers are commonly used to make poached eggs, which are eggs that are cooked without their shells in simmering water. The individual cups in the poacher help to keep the eggs separate and maintain their shape during cooking.

Using an egg poacher can make it easier to achieve perfectly cooked poached eggs with a runny yolk and a firm white. It also eliminates the need to carefully crack eggs into simmering water, as the eggs are already contained within the cups.

Egg poachers can be made of various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, or silicone. Some poachers also come with a lid to help retain heat and steam during cooking.

Overall, egg poachers are a convenient tool for those who enjoy poached eggs and want to achieve consistent results. They are commonly found in the Kitchen Hand Tools And Utensils supply class within the Food Preparation And Serving Equipment supply group.
