What a egg timer is good for
Cooking times are the classic reason to want a timer that opens instantly and makes noise at the end. These presets cover the steps people time most often, with the caveat that every stove, kettle, and pan runs slightly differently — treat the number as a starting point and adjust to your own equipment.
- Jammy medium-boiled eggs for ramen or salads
- Timing from the moment the egg hits boiling water
- Adjusting up or down for softer or firmer yolks
- Batch-boiling eggs for the week
