I bought a really advanced egg timer from the Science Museum yesterday with my s

Gosh, what is an egg timer? Is it just another clock thingy? I like my eggs fried. I don't like them hard-boiled usually. But eggs are real nice in all ways of cooking. Barbie, you seem to be falling ill quite often. Drink more water, eat more fruits, jump around and exercise or something. Surely you don't need a nanny?:P

I hate soft boiled eggs, cos my parents forced me to eat them due to high nutrition in my younger years. I don't mind all the rest. Hard boiled, fried, etc. Scrambled is ok but sometimes if too uncooked makes me queasy. Your egg timer sounds fantastic! how much did it cost you? Is it plastic like a usual timer, or just a waterproof sheet of paper that changes colour like a litmus strip?

It depends what I am going to do with the egg as to how I like them boiled. If I am going to dip long "soldiers" of fresh, crusty bread spread with butter, I like them cooked medium, for about three minutes. If I am going to use them for sandwiches or to fill pasty cases, or in salads, I usually let them go for a full six minutes, just to make totally sure the yolks are well and truly set!

Oh thank you, firstly for the best response and secondly for reminding me about these. I just searched ebay and found one cheaply near where I live. Soft boiled eggs for us this weekend !

I like my eggs either fried or made into an omelette, I can't believe I was in a hotel this morning and they had NO fried eggs on the menu only scrambled or poached, ewww! It's very rare that I will have a hard boiled egg, more so as a child I loved them with soldiers and the yolk had to be runny! I hated it when the yolk went hard.

Its always soft boiled egg for me. I don't like the hard one. I always boiled my egg for a few minutes only and will sip on the soft egg yolk like a soup.

HARD BOILED definitely. I don't know, when I see soft-boiled or medium boiled egg, I gag. I really don't like eating raw stuff and for me, if the egg isn't hard boiled it's raw. I know I sound weidry... but oh well, that's how I like my egg :)

egg timer?i never cooked before,so i guess i don't know what that is.is it like a counter?control the minutes you boil your egg?i am surprised at the technology now,people are more and more clever than before,maybe. but i like the eggs made into soup,my father did it very well,i mean,mix the eggs with water,and,that way of cooking,i forgot how to say it,but it's really tasted good,that's my favorite,and my father is proud of his skill in cooking eggs.talking about eggs,hmm,i am hungry,supper time now.take care friend.:)

That sounds like a great egg timer. I think I will shop around for one. I like my eggs medium, runny yet cooked yokes but whites completely cooked. My favorite way to each them like that is served over oatmeal. Yum. I know what I will be having for breakfast in the mornings. Lol

I like medium boiled egg. But we don't use such an advanced tool. We boil the eggs by our cooking experience:)

I din kno there were gadgets for th sle purpose of boilin eggs, and how does it change color again?!

i like mine hard boiled. and a like it sunny sideup

I've heard of those egg timers, but I haven't seen one. I'd love to get one. I like my eggs all different ways. For boiled, I like medium or hard boiled.

I like the to be medium boiled.

We have a space museum nearby where you can buy those kinds of neat gadgets and others. Kids have always been very amused by scientific gadgets. I remember over forty five years ago the neighbor got a gyroscope, boy that was a great toy. Now, my friend how many times are you going to get the flu this year? This seems like the third time. Or did you find a special scientific version in the museum, LOL. I am glad you got our for a day, it will help you feel more human again. Go have a medium egg for me. I had forgotten you can have them that way.

awwwww i do hope its not bird flu from getting too close to your eggs, lol. I only really like my eggs hard boiled or fried. There is just something sublimly satisfying about eating a fried egg blessed be

Do you think the Nutronix will help you feel better. Perhaps you had bette wait until after the flu pills. Sorry that you are unwell. I like eggs any way my husband will prepare them. They always seem to break when I do them. He is a much better cook as well. I like to dunk soldiers (bread strips) in soft boiled eggs. The new timer sound great. Good luck with getting the nice, new house. The Berry Tree will provide.

I like my eggs hardboiled because i do not want a situation were i can easily contact a virus due to eating medium boiled meals or eggs to be precise. In modern life today diseases and virus are contacted from not well cooked meals eg;one of the reasons bird flue is contacted eating not well cooked chicken. Cheers

Hi friend, Fantastic thing. I also like medium boiled egg. Egg timer is a great technology. I liked it. Here in india i think there no such technology. So every time we cook a hard boiled egg. And medium boiled is buy from restaurants. They have experience and they can simply create it. How many times we can use the egg timer. Whats the rate of it......

Though I like my eggs fried, either soft, or sometimes, scrambled. If I eat them boiled, I like them hard boiled.
