Advantages: Quick, simple, easy to use, good price.

Disadvantages: Can get addictive- I had poached eggs on toast for four days running because it was so easy.

I know Lakeland products seem to be my theme this month and I may be getting slightly addicted to their products, but I thought I would share my opinion of their Microwave double egg poacher.

What is it ?
Basically it is a simple gadget that can poach two eggs in under a two minutes.
It is a solid container that resembles the number eight, it is in two parts a base and a lid section.
It is made of a strong durable stain resistant plastic that can be used and washed over and over again without it breaking.
It is suitable for the dishwasher so no more scrubbing pans.

How do I use it ?

The microwave double egg poacher is extremely easy to use, my Grandad is partially sighted and he can use it with ease.
First of all take the two halves apart, the base has slightly domed bottom so it is easy to tell the top section from the base.
Place your eggs in the two compartments, put half a tea spoon of water over each egg then cover with the lid.
Put in the microwave and place on high setting for 1 minute 30 seconds.
Once it pings leave it for about half a minute or so to cool down otherwise it will be very very hot. That's it two perfect poached eggs in the time it takes to make a couple of slices of toast.

How much is it and where can I get it from ?

The poacher costs £4.39, when I bought mine it was on a three for two deal however on checking the website for the price it seems that this offer has now finished and a new deal is in place, where if you buy any microwave item you get a Microwave Mini Pot free.
The microwave double poacher is from Lakeland, you can purchase it from any of their forty one stores or order it online via their website. You can also ring them up and order it over the telephone.

I love poached eggs on toast, especially when I have been on a late shift and don't get home until ten o'clock, I am tired and hungry and the last thing I want to be doing is cooking up a dinner. This is so quick that in three minutes I am sitting down with a cup of tea and poached eggs on toast. No pans, no frantic stirring and no gizmos just simple and effective brilliance.

Summary: Great product, that is so simple yet so effective will make poached eggs in minutes.
