Looks like you remove them from the pan with an egg slice like we
used to! If donkeywoman gets them l will let you know if they work!
Donkeyman!
I guess these individual poaching cups will eventually end up where the only other silicone item I possessed did after just one use - a cupcake tray - which was so much fuss to remove the cakes compared to my ordinary tin tray, it was 80p into the swearbox and rapidly consigned to the bin!
I'm afraid I don't have any patience with things that don't do as the label promises.

Eggs from shops rarely are fresh.

Re: Silicone Poaching Cups.
I've stuck to my mums old poaching pan where you have about 2 inches of water in the bottom, a slightly greased poaching egg cup (up to 4) are fitted into a holder and it sits above the water, when it boils turn the heat way down and put the lid on. The eggs are steamed and turn out excellent each time.

Re: Silicone Poaching Cups.
I've never used any "aids" to poaching. Just use a small frying pan with about 1/2 inch of boiling slightly salted water and a dash of vinegar and break the eggs carefully into the water. I don't eat poached eggs myself but my OH says they are perfect!
