What is a "poacher"?
A poacher is a kitchen utensil or cooking vessel specifically designed for poaching eggs. It typically consists of a shallow pan or skillet with a lid and removable cups or inserts for holding individual eggs. Poachers come in various designs, including metal or silicone cups that float in simmering water or cups that sit directly in the pan. The poaching process involves gently simmering eggs in water until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Poachers help to shape and contain the eggs during cooking, resulting in evenly cooked and attractive poached eggs.
