Air fryer enthusiasts are raving about a £2.50 Amazon find that’s perfect for whipping up the ideal poached eggs. The set of four Air Fryer Egg Poachers, also known as the air fryer’s ramekins, are just £9.98, which works out at under £2.50 each.
These nifty little ramekins measure 2.95 inches in diameter and 1.96 inches in height and are crafted from top-notch food-grade silicone. But it’s not just poached eggs these versatile moulds can handle; they’re also great for baking treats like cupcakes, muffins, custard, pudding, tarts, and even soufflés.
They’re suitable for use in both ovens and microwaves and boast an easy-to-clean surface thanks to the wipeable silicone material. Garnering numerous five-star reviews, customers are delighted with how simple they are to use, reports the Liverpool Echo.
One happy customer shared: “These are perfect for poaching eggs in the air fryer. I time it for six minutes at 180 and it was lovely – still runny yolk for white was perfect too. Spray a little oil in so it makes the egg easier to remove and use tongs to lift it out as it is extremely hot. Wash by hand or in a dishwasher.”
Another satisfied user commented: “Love these, just did some eggs in the air fryer and they came out clean and washed with no issues. Great product so far.” A third chimed in: “Was unsure but they work brilliantly.”
While another added: “I am absolutely in love with this product. I am currently on a keto diet, I find it helpful to make sure I consume eggs every morning. It’s been a month since I started, instead of boiled eggs or scrambled eggs, I can have a soft egg in the air fryer. This morning I tried to make low carb no sugar chocolate muffins and they came up yummy and moist.”
And another fan shared: “Just want I needed for cooking poached eggs in the air fryer….perfect! “. However, some found it tricky to remove the eggs, with one three-star reviewer stating: “Not keen on the corrugation on the inside makes it harder to extract eggs.”
One other shopper also commented: “Silicone to thick to use in an air fryer, eggs had crust on top, and the white of the egg was no cooked.”
