I confess I am an egg poaching addict. Among the egg poachers I have tried and experimented with are the pan, cups and lid style, microwaveable units, and those products that utilize the use of 10-inch and 12-inch frying pans. I even tried a funky style where one had to use a knife blade or spoon handle to lift the egg tray to and from the pan; it worked though. Each of these products gave me good poached eggs to a point. All were lacking in finished product desirability or method of operation. Some gave eggs that were on the thin side. Others popped out eggs a bit uncooked or overcooked or one of each, especially the microwaveable units. The best styles I used were the pan, cups and lid combos. And the best of these styles for the price, in my opinion, is this Prime Pacific 4 cup Egg Poacher. Following the instructions, with some heat and time adjustments, will get you nice looking, delicious poached eggs almost every every. (After all, sometimes chefs make errors you know.) The amount of water called for in the instructions is a bit much in my opinion; I reduce it to half and get the same results. I must confess I only make two eggs at a time, so the amount of water called for could take into consideration that four eggs are being made.
Stoves vary in performance, considering heat sources and settings. I use a gas stove, and I bring the water to a boil in the pan using the highest setting. Then I turn the heat to medium high and place the egg tray with its egg filled cups in the pan using the convenient center knob holder on the tray. Over the tray I place the see-through lid. From this point I time 5-6 minutes, after which the eggs are done on the soft side; a longer time will make them hard boiled and good for salads. (Yes! No more shelling eggs for salads poach them instead.) You don't need to use butter or cooking spray in the cups for the eggs to drop out nicely with a nudge of a small rubber spatula, because the cups have a non-stick coating. But I put a dab of butter in the cups anyway. (Old habits are hard to break.) Your timing might be different from mine, taking your stove's performance into consideration.
The Prime Pacific 4 Cup Egg Poacher pan is deep, and this is a plus when your need a small pan for making gravies or sauteing. The product is well constructed ready to give years of good service. I spent a lot of money on egg poachers, and this one is the best of the bunch that came into my kitchen. The other egg poachers I had are now gone to friends and relatives. I am keeping this one for good. I am addicted to it.

Do not buy this pan. It rusted on all of the parts after the first use. The eggs consistently stuck to the cups, I threw it out after only using it three times.
