I agree with the extensive comments by Dipika Kapadia. One GREAT disappointment, however, is the fact that the egg cup holder is not non-stick. Each cup has holes in the bottom; I suspect this is to release steam from below if the cup is not being used. However, for cups in use, these holes will drip egg white (very minor), initially, into the water until the cooked egg white plugs these holes. Due to this minor amount of egg white drippings, the water will develop a egg white froth. The steam will ooze this froth out of the steam vents and will coat the bottom of the cup holder. Thus cleaning this plate becomes a chore. I would add to Dipika Kapadia's suggestions:
1. Remove cups that are not in use. This allows for a better circulation of the steam.
2. Heat the water with lid, but without the cup holder.
3. Spray the cups with PAM, but don't spray the cup holder. Fill the cups with the eggs, with the cups sitting in the cup holder on the counter top.
4. When water is gently simmering, remove lid and install cup plate assembly all at once (yes, wipe up the minor amount of egg whites on the counter top).
5. When finished, use a standard dinner fork (through the hole in the cup lip) to lift out cups. Stove gloves, needle nose pliers or other such nonsense are simply not needed.

PS: I like egg whites solid, yokes runny: try 4 min 45 sec. (at sea level)
 SPECTACULAR!!! May 19, 2008
This pan is AWESOME!!! It works beautifuly, cleans easily and was DEFINATELY worth the money!!! I got my super picky kids to eat eggs! WOO HOO!! Great Pan!
 Nice quality - but... April 28, 2008
The egg cups are too small - very annoying and messy. Also, the cup holder would be better if it was coated with non-stick, especially since there's always spilled egg on it.

The most important thing I like about this product is that clean up is a breeze. Plus storage is easy due to the product being just the right size.

It's great! Clear lid lets you see what's happening. A thin coating of butter and a knife notch on the side of the cups makes picking those cups up and sliding the eggs out a breeze. The nonstick pan itself is a plus. Poaching eggs now is fun rather than an unpleasant and messy breakfast chore.
