An egg poacher is a kitchen tool designed to cook eggs gently in simmering water, resulting in perfectly poached eggs. It typically consists of individual cups or compartments that hold the eggs, allowing them to cook evenly without the need for oil or butter.
To use an egg poacher, fill a pot with water and bring it to a simmer. Place the egg poacher in the pot, crack an egg into each compartment, and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the eggs to cook for about 4-6 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness, then carefully remove the poacher and serve.
You can buy an egg poacher at various retailers, including kitchen supply stores, department stores, and online marketplaces like Amazon. Additionally, Pampered Chef offers a high-quality egg poacher that can be purchased through their website or through a consultant.
