With this egg poacher from OXO Good Grips even a beginner makes a perfectly poached egg. The funnel shape gently guides the egg into the boiling water and holds the egg together during cooking. The bottom is perforated to allow water to circulate around the egg. When the egg is ready, use the tab to safely remove the poacher from the water. The egg poacher is made of heat-resistant silicone and can go in the dishwasher after use. This set includes 2 poachers.
