Advantages: Simple, cheap, effective Disadvantages: The timer can be hard to read in boiling water
Soft boiling an egg should be easy, just chuck an egg into boiling water for three minutes, or it four? Do you put the eggs into the water when it is cold or wait till it has boiled? Do you boil the eggs straight from the fridge or only when they are at room temperature? It's amazing how flustered such a simple task could make me; every time I fancied a dippy egg and some soldiers I would have to go onto Google and type "how do you soft boil an egg" into the search engine. I'm sure that I would get a different answer each time I searched and my eggs either ended up too runny with horrible sloppy whites or rock hard.
I was in Poundland one day and saw the Egg Perfect Colour Changing Egg Timer. I've spent loads of money on useless kitchen gadgets in the past and wasn't sure if this was going to end up unloved at the back of the cupboard ...
Advantages: Great for gifts or yourself, quick, easy to use, reasonable prices Disadvantages: None that I've found
OVERVIEW:
'Cookingtime.co.uk' is the online version of the high street store 'Cooking Time', which can be found in Waltham Abbey, Essex.
The same products that are in the store can be found on the website, but anyone from around the UK can order from the site - it's not only for customers local to the store. The products are all kitchenware products.

On arriving at the homepage, I was immediately impressed by its professional feel - the homepage is tidy, not too cluttered and with very easy navigation. It can be daunting ordering products from an unknown website ...
Eggs are amazing - who would have thought that something that comes out of a chickens bum would be so tasty and so versatile in the kitchen ? In fact, I often wonder who the first person was to actually EAT an egg, and why they did it. In Britain, we eat nearly 10 billion eggs a year; that's 26 million every day, so they're clearly a favourite food here!
Chicken eggs are the most commonly eaten eggs in the uk , although there are many more edible eggs - duck, goose, quail and ostrich to name a few. Generally speaking though, most of us stick to the chicken eggs found in the supermarket - and generally fall into three categories - Battery or Caged eggs, Barn Eggs, or Free Range eggs . I'll briefly explain the categories for those who may now know them .
