I really love eggs – they are just so convenient and easy to cook. But I must admit to a liking for soft-boiled eggs, and it’s not always so easy to achieve the perfect level of soft-boiledness, if you know what I mean.

So here’s how the Beep Egg singing egg timer works. When you hear “Killing Me Softly With Your Song”, you know your egg’s soft boiled. But hurry! Because the tune switches to “I Wish I Were a Hen” when it’s a little firmer, and for the ultimate in hard-boiled egg, you’ll need to wait until you hear “Carmina Burana”.

I like it.

"BeepEgg" is a yellow singing egg timer that will help you boil eggs exactly right and, also, while it soaks in the pan, it’ll delight you with musical compositions attuned to your mood.

Put it in the pan, along with the eggs you want to cook, and it will indicate when the egg is done by singing these songs.
