I only recently discovered microwaved poached eggs – my favourite type of eggs – and have been using a small dish that makes them odd shaped. This is perfect for me – didn't know they existed and will be my new favourite kitchen gadget.

My previous egg boiler packed up and wore out. Could not find a suitable replacement. Your egg poacher is an excellent alternative – very simple and effective!

It’s a bit fiddly- but that’s the nature of egg poaching, microwave or not. Would be better if cups non stick, but still quite convenient.
