Color Changing Egg Timer

Perfect eggs, every single time. No guessing required.

The Maverick Color Changing Egg Timer takes the one thing that has always been annoying about boiling eggs — the guessing — completely off the table. Drop it in the pot, watch it change color, and pull your eggs at exactly the moment you want. Soft, medium, or hard. Done.

The details

Most egg timers count down from a set time, which sounds helpful until you realize that altitude, water temperature, egg size, and how many eggs are in the pot all affect cooking time in ways a basic countdown timer simply cannot account for. The Maverick Color Changing Egg Timer is different. It senses heat rather than time, which means it responds to the actual cooking conditions in your pot rather than a fixed countdown on a clock.

Simply place the timer in the pot with your eggs before adding water, then cover with at least an inch or two of cold water and bring to a boil. As the water heats up, the timer gradually changes color from the outside in. Clear graduated markings indicate when eggs have reached soft, medium, and hard-boiled stages so you know exactly when to pull them. The easy-to-read design is fully visible even when submerged, and it works consistently regardless of how many eggs you are cooking or what altitude you are at.

When you are done, let it cool at room temperature, hand wash, and store it away until next time.
