The perfect egg timer with the incredible egg spy: from now on your eggs will be perfect.
Are you tired of eggs that are always too soft or to hard?
No matter where you are or how big your egg is - the perfect egg timer for perfect eggs is the solution!
The perfect egg-timer is based on scientific proof and because every egg is different, the timer calculates the exact cooking time based on egg size, altitude and temperature.
Usage: In order to measure the exact size of your egg, simply place it on your iPhone and set the size using your fingertip for. Determine your current altitude (or let it be determined by GPS), tell your iPhone if you kept your eggs in the freezer or at room temperature and how you would like to have your eggs – soft-boiled, hard-boiled or something in-between.
Place your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough cold water to just cover the eggs. Bring them to a rapid boil over high heat and start the countdown. The iPhone will signal when the eggs are done. The attraction: The egg spy lets you see the changes inside your boiling egg!
Features:
-the formula for the perfect egg-timer is based on physical experiments and studies
- Egg-size can be adjusted to the nearest millimetre (inch): Simply place the egg on the iPhone scale and set the size with your fingertip. It doesn’t get any more accurate than this.
- Automatic change of measurement units between inch or millimeter and fahrenheit or celsisu, depending on language and international settings.
- determine and enter your altitude manually or let it be determined by GPS automatically.
- The egg-spy shows you the inside of your egg during the cooking progress
What's New in Version 1.5
- iPad-Version including Retina-Graphics
- Optimized GPS- and Localization-Function
- Choose between two boiling methods:
“Egg in cold water“ or “Egg in boiling water“. Both methods come with advantages and disadvantages.
For the cold water boiling method “Egg in cold water“, place the eggs in cold water, bring the water to a boil and start the countdown as soon as the water is boiling. With this method it is necessary to check when the water starts to boil, however the eggs don’t burst as much.
For the hot water boiling method “Egg in boiling water“, boil the water first and then place the eggs in the water and start the countdown. Disadvantage of this method: Eggs burst more frequently, despite pricking.
No matter which method you choose: The ideal egg timer calculates the correct boiling time for both methods.
Customer Reviews
Good timer
My soft boiled eggs are perfect each time -- assuming I input the egg size, temperature and altitude correctly.
The only issue I have is that there is no auto rotate on the iPad. The timer app is upside down on my iPad using my case as a stand. Also no portrait mode, only landscape.
Even with the above flaw, it is still the best, most scientific egg timer I've used.
