As if coming from the future, the Norpro Egg Rite Egg timer might leave the uninitiated dumbfounded. The technology that allows this egg to change colors seems it came from outer space. Basically you place this “timer” together with your eggs. As you heat it up the red area of the egg gets smaller and smaller. The lines on the egg indicate that the eggs are done as soon as the red spot’s ring touches them. The red spot gets smaller as the eggs are getting nearer to the hard boiled state.

The beauty of this egg timer is that by virtue of its timing nature, you get perfectly cooked eggs no matter how many you cook. Twenty eggs might require a different time from boiling one egg with a traditional timer. The Nordic futurama egg timer does away with all the guess work and even compensates for high altitude cooking.

The Nordic Egg Rite Egg Timer can be found online for as low as $4.99 USD

Just like the Nordic Egg Rite Egg Timer, the HIC Harold Egg timer indicates visually if the eggs are already cooked or not. It uses the same scale from Hard to Soft boiled eggs.

It only marginally loses out to its Nordic branded cousin due to its current higher price. However, deals might make this a better buy when its listed below its current $5 Usd Price tag.
