I heated my water to 180° a slow simmer. I put the cups in (I did not grease them it didn't say that on directions. I cracked EACH egg directly into the hole.
After about a 90 sec. I lifted the cups up and moved them & added 2 more eggs. I took the poached eggs out in the order I put them in. They were perfect! Mine cooked in about 3 min. I always add 1tbsp vinegar to my water to help set the whites.

Poach perfect eggs every time!
A bit of context: from my background in Computer Science, I have been indoctrinated by the "Unix Philosophy" and one of its most important rules is that you want to strive, for a product, that it "Do One Thing and Do It Well." I think this explains my approach to the kitchen fairly well: yes, I am guilty of collecting "one-trick pony" appliances such as this one. Naturally, thus, I am a big fan of OXO, since this is exactly what they are doing. If you are on this page, maybe you feel the same way.In that case, I won't try to convince you that you need this, but that it does a really good job.I love the idea of "breakfast" but in our daily lives I just never find the time to sit down in the morning, and make what I traditionally think of as breakfast, or brunch (eggs, in particular poached, are a strong feature—perhaps because I eat mostly vegan otherwise). This item has helped to make breakfast easier because it makes poaching eggs a can't-go-wrong endeavor. I can do this straight from out of bed before I have woken up.The procedure sounds long, but once you've done it once, you can do it eyes closed:1) Fill in a pan with water up to the indicated level.2) Bring to a boil, then put on simmer.3) Add a splash of white vinegar into the opening (optional, but highly recommended).4) Crack an egg in a bowl and pour it in the opening (some might be courageous enough to crack over the opening, but not me).5) Wait a fixed amount of time (for my pasture-raised jumbo eggs, this is between 4 min. and 4:30 min—by the way, some reviews mention that size is an issue, maybe I do not notice this because I use jumbo eggs).6) Pull the poacher out (can do with bare fingers because it is silicon).7) Use a slotted spoon to fish the poached egg out, drain it, and place it on some paper towel (you can also delicate remove the strands of cooked yoke that may look messy).The result is perfect, I find (or at least superior to what I could do on my own). Attached is a picture of my first poached eggs, used for an avocado toast (OK, so I'm a millennial, sue me! :-).Final thoughts:— If like me, you do not yet have a slotted spoon, you might want to get one, such as OXO Good Grips Nylon Slotted Spoon. (Nylon is a good choice if you may end up using this with non-stick cookware.)— These fold onto themselves and can be stacked atop another, so as to take only a quarter of the space.— If like me, you love avocado toasts, perhaps you can compromise, save on brunch, but allow yourself the opulent decadence of also owning this tool OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer, Green, or go on ahead and buy the combined pack (these OXO people sure are attentive to consumer demand, they were AFAIK, the first to market such a combo!).--PS: If you found this review useful, chances are there'll be a day I'll stumble on one of your reviews and find it useful too! Thank for in advance!
