Egg-Per'fect Color Changing Egg Timer

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

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.

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”.
