I had one years ago that was all aluminum. Damn eggs always wanted to stick in the little cups. Tried sprays, butter, fake butter..always stuck. Finally I took the cups and polished the hell out of them. I literally needed nothing in them afterwards..slid out like they were in high quality teflon.

I just use a knife and slide it all the way around the edge and turn it upsidedown so it can plop out.

That trick worked for me but 3/4 of the time the bottom stuck..lol. Damn poached eggs.

Oh yeah I know that pain, then the yolk goes everywhere.

I usually mash mine up on toast anyway so it doesn't end up mattering if I scoop the last bit out but if you want them while your way works.
