Types of egg poachers

  • Food pan egg poachers: Vollrath full-size (15 cups) and half-size (8 cups) sets that sit in a steam table pan for banquet and buffet volume.
  • Stovetop poacher sets: Vollrath Wear-Ever sets with a pan, insert and cups for à la carte service.
  • Replacement cups: individual Vollrath aluminum and Wear-Ever cups to replace worn or lost cups.
  • Small poacher sets: Cuisipro stainless steel sets for low-volume cafés and staff kitchens.

What to consider when choosing egg poachers

  • Volume: food pan sets produce 8 or 15 eggs at once; stovetop sets suit cook-to-order breakfast.
  • Release: non-stick cups release eggs cleanly; lightly oil uncoated aluminum cups.
  • Equipment fit: food pan poachers need a steam table, steamer or pan of simmering water sized for full or half pans.
  • Replacement parts: standardize on one cup style so replacements fit your existing sets.
