Makes Breakfast Easy
I picked up two packs of these a couple of years ago, and I'm a big fan. Cleaning and preparation are both easy, and the 6 minutes it spends cooking give me enough time to make the rest of my breakfast and start packing my lunch. Worth the $10.

Poacher & More
This is a great product. I found that using more than 1/2 inch of water as directed provides better results. I used 1.5 inches and the eggs turned out great with no plastic taste and using a lid on the sauce pan speeds us the cooking. I bought 2 sets about 2 months ago. One for me and the other for my 84 year old mother. She got a kick out this product. After I explained its many uses she improvised the poachers into a duel role as bra cup supports when they are not in use in the kitchen. So there C&B another multi-satisfied customer.

Great product, but needs instructions...
I ran into a lot of the same problems other reviewers did: undercooked on top, overcooked on the bottom, didn't release easily, etc. Using the Googlewebs, I was able to find instructions for similar products and now these bad boys turn out brilliant eggs every time. Is it a true "poached" egg? No. Is it delicious, relatively healthy and roughly 45798245 times easier? Yes.
Pro tips:
1. Lightly coat the inside of the pods with light olive oil or butter-- the egg will release *much* easier.
2. Keep the lid on the pot otherwise they overcook on the bottom, undercook on top. Five to six minutes at a strong boil is all you need for rare to medium eggs.
3. Put the pods in the boiling water a minute or so before you crack the eggs in them. They don't conduct heat all that well (duh, they're silicone) so they need to heat up a bit before putting the egg in.
Happy poaching!!

Not too impressed
Since I love poached eggs, I thought this would be an easy gaget to use, but didn't totally rock my world. As others have indicated, the eggs dont cook all that well and are hard to get out of the mold. I'd say its an average product.

So easy!
I have always liked poached eggs, but am inept at cooking them (they end up a complete MESS). The very first time I used the Poachpod, the egg came out perfectly! Best gadget I've bought in a while.

Very disappointed...
I bought these because I absolutely love poached eggs and got tired of just dropping the egg into boiling water. It always did the trick, but also left stringy egg whites swirling all around the pan and made a mess. After reading all the great reviews, I was convinced these had to be just what I needed. Also, they're affordable!
I must say I am very disappointed... First of all, they don't cook the egg evenly because only the bottom side is submerged and getting enough heat. Even with the lid on the pot, the tops don't cook unless you wait forever, or as another reviewer mentioned, spoon boiling water over the tops. By the time the tops are cooked lightly, the bottoms of the eggs are firm. Just not a great way to poach an egg... I like them sort of "medium" with the whites cooked just enough and the yolk hot but runny. There really isn't any way to get this consistent all the way through.
Anyway, that actually isn't the biggest issue. Even though not cooked exactly to my liking, they were definitely edible... or they seemed so until I realized the eggs tasted like silicone! I had hand washed them before using them, so after using them and ending up with eggs that tasted like silicone, I decided to give them a go in the dishwasher. Absolutely no difference. The taste is awful.
Am I the only one who had this problem with the silicone taste?! I am so perplexed that no one else mentioned this in their reviews. I threw out the second egg because the taste was so gross, and I am not even a particularly eater. I prefer things a certain way, but I will actually eat almost anything and RARELY toss perfectly good food.
I would NOT recommend these. I was much better off just dropping the eggs into the boiling water, giving them a couple of minutes completely submerged, and eating them that way.

great gadget
I didn't like these the first time I used them, the eggs stuck to them. Being that they are made from silicone I was surprised. I solved that problem the next time with a little spray of PAM, now the eggs slide right out.
To get perfect poached eggs I put them in boiling water for nine minutes and then to get the tops cooked I spoon some boiling water from the pan and the eggs are done. .

Online shoppers paradise
Made perfect poached eggs first time. No more wondering if eggs are cooked to your taste. Easy to remove from pod and easy to clean. So simple a 6 year old could make perfect poached eggs. Also can be great for those of us wanting to lose a few pounds!

These are great!
Always wanted some of these, and was happy that Crate and Barrel carried them. Eggs Benedict is my favorite, so was happy to add this to my collection of products to make my favorite dish.

Love 'em!
I made pasta with arugula pesto and used these poach pods to poach an egg to go on top of each dish. It was super easy and convenient---I just cracked the eggs into the poach pods and floated the pods on top of the boiling pasta water for the last 4 minutes of the spaghetti cooking time.
Now I just need to get 2 more poach pods so I can cook 4 eggs at once---weekend breakfasts for my husband and I!

Poaching newbie
My husband loves poached eggs but I had never made them before. I have some silicone bakeware and thought these would be a great addition to our cooking tool collection! It took a few tries to get the water level and cooking time just right but now I'm a poaching pro! They clean up so easily and I just love them!

A Unique kitchen essential!
Poach Pods are one of those items you'll wonder how you lived without them! I've found they are perfect for molding individual jello desserts; children have especially loved them and I've experimented with using them for Ice blocks for punch, freezing flowers in the ice. The Pods clean-up well, release easily and do exactly as they are described. I highly recommend them!

Not a replacement for my poaching pan
I bought these thinking it would be an easy way for my fiance to prepare poached eggs without having to deal with the special poaching pan, spraying each cup holder with non-stick spray etc. But, I didn't find these offered the ease I was hoping for. I felt they were difficult to work with, part of the egg stuck, and it was difficult to gauge the proper cooking time. I think I may try to find alternate uses for these and stick to my poaching pan for eggs.
