Although labelled as an egg poacher, this pan is really a corbeller. So what's the difference?

Well, poached eggs are beautiful, soft and light affairs, cooked by being dropped into water on a gently rolling boil. When done properly they come out pure white and have no flavour but egg.

When you cook eggs in a corbeller like this you have to grease the egg trays so the eggs don't stick. The egg comes out with the flavour of whatever you use to grease the pan. You can use butter, olive oil, grapeseed oil, lard, they will all give a different flavour.

When the eggs are cooked they come out a little rubbery and have the shape of the tray. So they don't look or eat the same as real poached eggs.

BUT, you can do things with a corbeller that you can't do with poached eggs. Try flavouring your eggs. A little salt and pepper on them, perhaps some fresh herbs, or if you are adventurous why not some curry spices or tabasco. Versatility is where this poaching pan wins out. You can have fun with your eggs.

Farberware Egg Poacher

I have had Faberware cookware for over 30 years and was always happy with it. I replaced it with Expensive Heavy Cookware and still miss my Old Light Farberware. I'm a Great Cook, and the food still tastes the same but at a Higher Price. Anyway, when I was looking for a poacher, I read all the bad reviews but ordered anyway because of my faith in Farberware. None of the bad reviews were correct or accurate. There was no plastic smell and it is space age plastic, and a fine conductor of heat. I think the reviews are written by the competition or very incompetent people.

Large eggs fit perfectly with room to spare and take a 5 to 6 minutes to cook perfectly. They do not stick to the poaching cups if you follow the simple directions (Below). Some water does collect on top of the eggs, Their poached eggs! Just tilt and drain off. The handles on the cups are not hard to hold unless you are handicapped

The poaching cups are plastic and do not get hot. I use the thinnest layer of Crisco on the cups and the eggs slid right out.

The length of the time it takes to cook the eggs depends on the size of the flame. The flame should not be too high or too low. Practice makes perfect. If It's too low, just cook a little longer.

Cooks absolutely gorgeous eggs, thanks Farberware

Stovetop Cooking



Fill the pan with water just below the egg cups or to the bottom of the rivets inside the pan. Do not let the pan boil dry! Bring water to rolling boil. The poacher cups are made of plastic so using a cooking spray or brushing the cups with oil is recommended. Put eggs in poacher cups and place over pan and cover. Reduce heat to simmering. For soft poached eggs, cook approximately 4 minutes or until whites are set but yolks are runny. For regular poached eggs, cook approximately 6 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Run a spatula around the edges to loosen the eggs. Invert poacher cups to remove eggs.

Best Deals for Farberware Nonstick Aluminum Egg Poacher with Glass Lid

I bought one of these a few months back (though mine has the all metal lid (preferable). It is well designed and attractive. But it has a MAJOR flaw: the egg cups are black plastic with a thermo-conductivity that must be close to zero. Aside from the totally unacceptable aspect of cooking in plastic (!), it took me 9 minutes (elevation 7300 ft.) to poach an egg to medium yolk and firm white, when an all-metal poacher would take maybe 5 or 6 minutes max. Avoid this one!

Its okay and does the job. Not overly impressed with it. I use to just cook in boiling water and that does the same.
