Eggssentials Egg Poacher Insert

The Eggssentials insert is designed to fit 5, 6, and 8-quart Instant Pot models and most standard pressure cookers of similar sizes. With a 7.25-inch diameter, it is best to measure the interior base of your pot to ensure it sits flat.

While the surface is non-stick, we recommend lightly greasing the cups with a small amount of oil or cooking spray before adding your eggs. This ensures a clean release and makes cleanup significantly faster.

Yes, the Bakelite handle is heat-resistant and designed to remain cool enough to touch for safe removal after cooking. However, always use caution when lifting the insert out of a hot pressure cooker.

Yes, the insert is dishwasher safe. For the longest life of the non-stick coating, however, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild soap is recommended.

Unlike silicone cups, which can be flimsy and prone to tipping over in boiling water, this stainless steel insert provides a rigid, stable structure. The cups stay upright, ensuring your eggs maintain their shape throughout the poaching process.

Each cup has a 75ml capacity, which is perfectly sized for a standard large egg. This volume allows the egg to poach evenly without overflowing.
