Egg Timer

Summary

Pick a soft, medium, or hard boiled egg preset (or set a custom time), start the countdown, and get a beep and screen flash when the eggs are ready.

How it works

1. Pick a preset: Soft (6 minutes), Medium (8 minutes), or Hard (12 minutes) boiled.
2. Or enter a custom number of minutes and seconds for your own target.
3. Click "Start" the moment your eggs go into the boiling water.
4. Watch the ring and clock count down while the eggs cook.
5. Hear a beep and see the screen flash when the timer hits zero — pull the eggs out and into cold water.
6. Click "Reset" to run the timer again for the next batch.

Use cases

• Time a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk for breakfast.
• Time a medium boiled egg with a jammy, half-set yolk.
• Time a hard boiled egg for egg salad or meal prep.
• Set a custom time for a specific egg size or altitude.
• Run several batches back to back with quick reset.
• Get an audible alert from another room while doing other kitchen prep.
