Poached eggs that stay round, every single time
Tired of ragged white ribbons in the pan? These silicone pods hold each egg in a tidy cup, so breakfast lands on the plate looking like the photo.
Round eggs, held in place
Holds the white in place
Silicone cups contain the white so it sets in a round form while it simmers. The egg firms inside the cup instead of fanning out across the pan, so what you lift out is the shape you put in.
Drains as it cooks
Rim drainage holes let water move through the cup so it does not pool around the egg. The water keeps circulating, and the white settles around the yolk instead of sliding off to one side.
Stores on a hook
A hanging hole lets you hang the cups on a rack or hook after washing. They dry fast and stay out of the drawer, so the set is always within reach on a Sunday morning.
Three steps to a tidy poach
- 1Oil the cup
Brush a light coat of oil inside each cup. This keeps the set white from clinging when you lift the egg out.
- 2Crack and lower
Crack the egg into a small bowl, slide it into the cup, and lower the cup into a gentle simmer.
- 3Lift when set
Wait until the white firms, then lift the cup out by the rim and tip the egg onto the plate.

Questions and answers
The cup gives the white walls to set against. Instead of spreading across the water, the white stays inside the cup and firms into a round shape as it simmers. Crack the egg into a small bowl first, then slide it in gently, and the white stays where you put it.
Yes. The cups are pan-safe for poaching, so they work in a regular frying pan of simmering water. You do not need a special poaching pan, a nonstick pan, or a splash of vinegar.
Oiling each cup before use keeps the set white from clinging, and the cups release cleanly once the egg is set. They are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a quick rinse or a trip through the machine.
Yes. The holes let water move through the cup, so it does not pool around the egg and the shape stays put from pan to plate.
Yes. The same cups work for pancakes and small bites. Use them as a silicone form for baking when you want neat portions.
Yes, a light coat of oil before each use is the step to keep. Without it, the set white can cling and tear when you lift the egg out. A quick brush is enough.
