    Advantages Advantages Perfect eggs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can forget about it

    Eggs-cellent Choice I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband a few years ago as he loves soft boiled eggs and because I never know how long to boil them for I thought this would be perfect (so it was a gift for me really...) An Egg The idea of the 'egg' is that you place it in the pan with the real eggs and it changes colour as time passes and tells you exactly when you need to take the eggs out, so you know when an egg is soft boiled, medium or hard boiled, depending on what you want the eggs for. The 'egg' itself is about the same shape and size as a normal egg, apart from that one ... more

    Advantages Advantages Perfect Eggs Every time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't read easily in boiling water

    Colour change Egg Timer I read a positive review on egg timer purchased from Lakeland. When shopping in store I noticed them and decided to buy one which cost £5.99. I didn't tend to cook many boiled eggs prior to owning this gadget as I wanted my son who has just turned three years old to eat hard boiled eggs. I do worry about the risk of salmonella and so if it was not cooked enough when I opened the shell I would have to start again. My son however does love eggs and has a strange obsession with eggs and even requested boiled eggs on his buffet for his birthday tea party. It is a food ... more

    Advantages Advantages simple to use gives great runny eggs every time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    A soft boiled egg is one of life's little treats I think with the joy of dipping buttery toast soldiers in to soft gooey egg. But I have always found the trying to get a nice runny egg to be at times the holy grail of cookery. My quest ended about 5 years ago when wondering around our local Lakeland shop I found the egg perfect colour changing egg. At just under a fiver I did wonder would it be worth it but knowing Lakeland great customer service I knew that if it failed to live up to expectations I more than likely would get a refund or credit note. What is it? ************* It is an egg ... more

    Advantages Advantages Extremely accurate, taking into account number of eggs, amount of water and temperature.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rather smelly during first few uses! Exspensive for an egg timer!

    Getting totally fed up with my inability to cook the perfect soft-boiled egg, for him to dip his toasted soldiers in, my husband bought me this egg timer with a difference. It is made of hard plastic, shaped like an egg, but flat on one side. It is red in colour, with very clear white markings labelled (from outside edge inwards) “soft”, “medium” and “hard”. The idea is that you place the timer into the pan, *with* your eggs and cook them as usual. The timer changes colour over time, turning black from the outside edge in. As the inner edge of the black ... more
