Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fusionbrands 3-Inch Silicone Poach Pod Egg Poaching Tool, Green
Customer Review: Easy to use. Effective.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love poached eggs, and was enamored with the absurdity of the color, name, and design of poachpods. I bought them, ripped the tag off, and put them in the cupboard for a month.
I just used them for the first time today, and didn't have the instructions. So I just dropped the eggs in the pod, and placed the pods into lightly boiling water. I replaced the lid, and waited 5 minutes. I then had perfectly poached eggs that were seriously stuck to the poachpod. Whoops. My bad.
SO, a poachpod will give you a perfect egg if you:
1) Boil some water
2) Spray the inside of pods with nonstick spray (or brush with olive oil)
3) Crack the eggs into the pods
4) Turn down the water to low
5) Place the pods into the water (the lilypad effect is pretty sweet)
6) Replace the pot cover
7) Wait 5 minutes
6) Coax the eggs out of the pods onto your plate/toast/english muffin
That's it - exactly how they are supposed to work. No need to buy a dedicated poaching pan. I used a 3 qt saucepan.
Because the top of the pods are out of the water, the "handle" part is not too hot to touch. I had no problem removing the eggs with my hands.
Customer Review: Easy, Easy, Easy!

These work like a charm! Follow the directions & you'll have perfect poached eggs. Cleanup is just a swish through soapy water. The pan just boiled water - no gloppy egg stuff hanging on! Love them!Customer Review: Easy, simple, great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Using boiling water to poach my eggs created too much mess and hassle for me. I needed something that could produce perfect poached eggs that was easy to use, mess free and of low cost. These Fusionbrands Poach Pods have not failed me!
Having carefully read the guidance provided with the Poach Pods, I have had the most perfect poached eggs. Lightly greasing the pods with a touch of oil (recommended) prevents them from sticking, I had no problem with contents spilling out when left on the counter top and could easily place them in my boiling pan of water.
I do not like to follow set times for cooking my poached eggs, but prefer to look at the consistency of the egg as it is cooking. When the time came to serve my eggs lightly running a spoon around the edge of the egg allowed a simple, break-free release of my egg. Perfect, and no funny taste! I can only think that if the pods aren't washed thoroughly before first use that a strange taste could occur. They're easy to clean, I put them in my top shelf of the dishwasher and use the holes in the side to secure the pod to the shelf for cooking. Again, all recommended in the guidance provided with the pods.
For hassle free poached eggs, I couldn't ask for anything better!

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. They clean easily which has always been my pet peeve with other types of poachers that they are terrible to clean. They don't take up much space. Just fold them up and stuff them in a corner of a drawer. I also like they are made for high temperatures so if you start with boiling water there is no problem of melting them. You can even put them in the oven for some other dish seeing as they are heat resistant to 675 degrees; including dishwasher & microwave safe! They are also freezer proof although I can't think of any reason why I would use them in the freezer. Love the feel of them just to fiddle with; very flexible and soft yet spring back into shape to cradle an egg perfectly.Customer Review: Egg Poachers

These are the neatest egg poachers I have ever tried. Use them with Pam or non-stick spray and they slide right out of the cup. I would recommend them to everyone!!
