 Egg Timer is an Egg SaverJul 23, 2010
I LOVE this product! It is one of the first things I bought when I started cooking more for myself and now I just bought another one for my sister after she over cooked 2 dozen eggs for easter (NASTY!).
I'm the type of person who is always paranoid things aren't cooked enough when cooking anything like eggs, chicken, beef, etc, But this product tells you straight on, what state your egg is in (soft, medium, or hard), so you won't get one that's over boiled or almost raw.
It's so simple and easy to use but absolutely ingenious! You just drop it into the water with your eggs, and as the water boils and the eggs cook, it begins to change color. It starts turning black at the rims and continues its way inwards as eggs get harder. Once you see the black from around to whichever type of egg you are trying to make (soft, medium, or hard), clearly written in the middle of the timer, you just turn off your stove and they are ready! Sometimes I turn it off a little earlier because the eggs continue to cook a little if you don't take them out of the boiling water right away.
This timer is shaped like half an egg. The bottom is flat so that it doesn't move around/flip over in the water. It is always clear to read/see, even in boiling water.
People may think you can just use a timer to boil eggs, but that is still a guessing game. You can set ANY timer for eggs, set it to X amount of minutes and you will have eggs. But other things can change the effectiveness of it, i.e. lower/higher flames. So its really a guess of how much time you would need to boil an egg until its just soft but not raw, or over cooked. But that's the best part about this item it's not really a timer. This tells you EXACTLY what is going on in the egg because it is actually cooking like one. So there is NO GUESSING!
I will admit, I love gadgets! Some of them are really useless or unnecessary but this one I could not live without! I would not love eggs as much.
And such an awesome product for under $10? It's a must buy. It makes a great gift for weddings or house warming gifts too. People are always interested in it when they are left on their own to boiler their own eggs, haha. And they always end up loving it.
no smellJul 21, 2010
The egg timer worked great! My eggs came out perfect. I was waiting for the horrible smell based on other reviews and that never happened.

 Possible cause for smell???Jun 30, 2010
I have not bought this yet but the smell may be due to the bottom of the pot conducting right into the timer. The egg only contacts the bottom of the pot in a very small area so direct conduction from the burner to the pot to the egg is not a problem. The plastic egg timers I have seen have a flat bottom so the heat from the burner goes right into the timer. Maybe add a colapsable strainer
A "Must Have" Kitchen Gadget!Jun 22, 2010
