When I saw the Egg-Per'fect egg timer at the Housewares show, I slowed as I passed the display table. Two steps more and I was at a complete stop. I was intrigued by the claims being made by the gentleman behind the counter.
You see, perfectly cooking a fully-shelled egg is often more of an art than a science. Either the center is undercooked and runny, or over-cooked and chalky.
The Egg-Perfect egg timer is a brilliant little piece of engineering that takes the guesswork out of boiling eggs and makes it unbelievably simple to cook your egg the proper length of time.
Simply drop the plastic egg into the pot with the real eggs and a color change indicator lets you know how cooked your egg really is.
This is what elegance in innovation is all about.
