Four-Cup Egg Poaching Pan

A stainless steel pan with a lift-out tray holding four poaching cups, and a glass lid. Simmer an inch of water in the base, crack an egg into each cup, cover, and in a few minutes you have four neat poached eggs that all finished at the same time.

It takes the nerve out of poaching. No vinegar, no whirlpool, no ragged whites trailing through the water — the cups hold each egg in shape while the steam cooks it. Take the tray out and what's left is a perfectly good lidded sauté pan.

Why you'll love it

• Four eggs at once — all ready together.
• No swirling, no vinegar — the cups keep the shape.
• Glass lid — see when the whites have set.
• Two pans in one — remove the tray and use it as a lidded pan.
