"...Designed with good structural ribs, robust feet, and a nice grab handle/tabs sticking up from the middle and out the sides...." Read more

"...They slide easily onto the plate. The eggs are cooked through and moist, not runny or dried out. The cooker is super easy to clean...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the lid of the cooking container. They mention that it barely stays on, does not stick to the silica ne, and does not fit securely on the base. Some say that the lid must be perfectly secured and aligned or eggs will spill all over the inside of the micro.
"...UPDATE 11-4-18The clear plastic top cracked and now it doesn't fit the same, probably less of a tight fit. It takes longer to cook the eggs...." Read more

Customers are not satisfied with the elasticity of the cooking container. They mention that the red base is extremely flexible, which makes it difficult to pick up. The silicone is flexible, making it difficult for the gadget to support itself. The lid just sits on top and the rubbery bottom is flexible. The top has warped and the bottom of the eggs is curved.
"...The only downside is the bottom of the eggs is curved. That is it. The look appetising. The white was fully cooked...." Read more
"...Also, the piece itself is floppy and bendy, and I've had a spill or two just getting it into the microwave. Not for me." Read more
"...only little annoyance with this product is that, since the base is flexible silicone, you have to be very careful that it doesn't sag as you pick it..." Read more

I've had 3 or 4 microwave egg poachers in the past, some needing precise, small amounts of added water, some having the egg explode if not pricked before cooking, and all requiring at least modest cleaning effort before being used for the next batch of egg(s).
Key features:
-) Base made of not-too-floppy silicone rubber. This really reduces the stickiness, even without use of cooking spray; in the worst case, just run it under the faucet for a few seconds, shake off, and it's ready to go for another round.
-) Designed with good structural ribs, robust feet, and a nice grab handle/tabs sticking up from the middle and out the sides. All this means that it sits flat and doesn't flop around and spill your egg while you're moving it to/from the microwave.
-) Rigid *clear* plastic lid with vent holes, grab handle in middle. This sits loosely on top of the base, around a small molded ridge. With its fairly large volume and only gravity holding it in place, it releases steam pressure around all sides quickly by just rising a bit, and doesn't go flying off as I've seen with some other poachers.
-) Cleans up well in the dishwasher or sink. Just put the base in the dishwasher top rack sideways -- otherwise the crannies on the bottom will collect water and not drain during the cycle.
-) It actually makes decent moist runny-yolk poached eggs.
Having tried a couple of microwave poachers with less-than-satisfactory results, I had my doubts. However, thanks to all the guidance from reviewers, this one has worked very well, except for one flaw. But first, here are my results (adventures):
1. First I tried manufacturer's instructions of 2 minutes at 50% power. Wasn't worried about explosions since I have an 800-watt microwave and everyone else seems to have more powerful ones. At this setting and time, the eggs were not fully cooked.
2. Second, I tried 50% power at two and a half minutes. This was a little too much--I ended up with hard yolks (I like them just a little bit runny).
3. Third try at 50% power and 2:20 minutes came out pretty good for one egg--however, the white of the other egg was only partially cooked (just a small area that I spooned out). I should mention that my microwave has a rotating plate, so that's not the problem.
NOTE: On the first few tries I followed some reviewers' instructions and punctured the egg yolks with a toothpick. Fine. The fourth time I forgot, and actually the eggs came out better. No explosions. I expect this is because I have a less powerful microwave. Also, I tried using a plate so the poacher wouldn't droop, but found that it caused the eggs to cook more unevenly. So now I'm just very careful about lifting the poacher into the microwave; I lift it by the ends.
PROS: Works well once you dial in the power and time.
Outrageously easy to clean. I wipe the cups with olive oil first. The eggs slide right out with a spoon, and a little rubbing with my fingers and soap and water, and the poacher is clean.
No explosions, whether you poke the yolks or not.
CON: The poacher cooks unevenly. One egg is always a little more "done" than the other. Not using a plate helps a little, but there is still a difference.
Would have given this five stars except for the CON above. I hope this information is helpful.
-------My settings for One egg, 1300 watt Microwave---------
Spray the inside of the of the base with nonstick cooking spray. On my 1300 watt Microwave oven (Which is basically a pain because it overcooks everything and lies about its power levels), for a SINGLE egg, I set it to 40% power level and 1 minute 12 seconds. Comes out perfect. Raw running yolk and fully cooked whites. You might do 1 minute 10 seconds if you want a tiny bit of run in the whites as well. Has been working every time for the last couple of weeks.
I'll update this review if I figure out the perfect settings for two eggs. Remember, microwaves vary, so my main point is that be prepared to move your power levels down and some microwaves need far less time then the instructions let on. Of course I'm only doing one egg at a time.
