This item cooks the eggs from the bottom up and by the time the top of the egg is cooked the yoke is completely hard and it is definitely not non-stick, even after oiling the cups.

The only problem with this poacher the yoke is over cooked and the white is not done

This poacher does not have standoffs to elevate it above the boiling water; thus it cooks the eggs from the bottom up and by the time the top of the egg is cooked the yoke is completely hard

No worry about breaking the yoke or having trouble scooping the egg out of boiling water
