I have a stove top (induction) egg poacher with nonstick individual egg cups. Could I use these replace nonstick cups? Would they withstand the heat?

I think they would withstand the heat. I don't know if the size is right but heat wise, yes. I don;t think there is anything saying they wouldn't.

If they go from room temperature to hot slowly I think they would. I imagine you have lukewarm water with the eggs in the cups and then bring it to a boil. I know the little Pyrex or Anchor Hocking custard cups work in a poacher , so if these don't, you can just get the custard cups. I have used them for hot liquids and they take the microwave ok. Btw, these are wonderful small dishes. I have two sets of the small and two of the larger and use them every day. They are a nice clear glass so they look nice with good dishes and on the table. The little handles make using them very easy. I use them for cooking, serving, mis en place, and serving samples while I'm cooking. They are dishwasher and microwave safe.

No. They are not safe for induction cooking. You would need to get stainless steel or copper.

Since most silicone can take heat up to 360 degrees the egg poachers should work okay in a toaster oven. They might need to be in a container with water though. Cooking them on the stove top is easy. Just boil about 1.5 inches of water in a pan big enough to hold the cups, brush oil on the insides before cracking in the egg, and gently place in the water. You'll have turned the burner down to near low. Poach them for 5 minutes. Nice variation for an egg breakfast.

I find that I get my best results if I remove them almost immediately and put them in cold water, to prevent overcooking. Of course you have to be very careful as the eggs and cooker are hot! I have tried leaving them in the cooker till almost cool (not sure how long that took) but they seem to end up overcooked.

Absolutely yes. We just moved to a house with an induction stove, had a gas stove for twenty years and all we had was cast iron. I miss the gas stove, but these are TERRIFIC. Wish they had a larger one, but we are very happy with these. No scratches, even heat, clean easily. I would be surprised if you regret this purchase.

I use them on an induction cook top and they are excellent. Good even heat when cooking and easy to clean.

They will work fine- but they do warn about using them at a high temperature for an extended period of time as the constant heat and pressure of the induction stove top can cause the pot and stove to fuse together, and that is no bueno. If you want to cook something at a high temp for hours, don't use these pots- but other than that you're good to go.

I believe that the heat is TRANSFERRED to the pan by whatever type of stovetop one uses.Bottom line. . .these pans are truly non-stick and continue to be so with proper care.I don't think they will disappoint!

I don't know as we do not have an induction stove. However they work great on a new glasstop stove and clean VERY easily. We love our set

I have a NuWave induction cooktop and have not problem with any of the pans in this set. Wish I could be more help. Good luck!

I'm no scientist or expert. This is all I know: we have a bird and we use this pan to cook eggs primarily because eggs should be cooked over low heat. High heat supposedly releases dangerous/toxic fumes for birds. Also, I believe ALL nonstick pans are unhealthy once the surface is scratched. We are very careful to use plastic/nylon/silicon utensils with our nonstick pans, and we handwash these pans instead of putting them in the dishwasher. As with most cooking items, they will serve you well as long as you take care of them properly. Hope this helps.

Yes, these are excellent for an induction range. That's why I bought them and they have been great. There are also a couple of non-stick skillets that go with this set and work on induction. I have every piece that goes with this set and they all work great on my induction range.

I use non-stick pans and haven't had any trouble with scratching. Since there is water in the pan, the poacher kind floats while the eggs are cooking.

Because I was not familiar with induction cooking I looked it on internet and the following is what was said:"For nearly all models of induction cooktop, a cooking vessel must be made of a ferromagnetic metal, or placed on an interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces."Now to the best of my knowledge the poacher is made of an aluminum alloy with a Teflon coating and therefore I would assume that youwould need to use an interface disk. I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Yes. I have brought these over to a friends house for pot lucks. The have an induction stove top and they work like a charm!

Keep these away from your stovetop, they are not heat resistant at all. I can't really complain since they are inexpensive and are made of plastic. Just be warned.

These are not induction cookware but they will work like other cookware if you use the conversion plate under them. They are just stainless steel like many other cookware. They do make a version that are induction that cost a little more.
