The Perfect Egg Timer
Perfect Egg Timer Features
- The formula for the perfect egg-timer is based on physical experiments and studies
- Egg-size can be adjusted to the nearest millimetre (inch): Simply place the egg on the Android-Phone scale and set the size with your fingertip. It doesn’t get any more accurate than this.
- Automatic change of measurement units between inch or milometer and Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on language and international settings.
- determine and enter your altitude manually or let it be determined by GPS automatically.
- The egg-spy shows you the inside of your egg during the cooking progress
"The perfect egg timer" is a clever program with which your eggs should turn out the way you like them. First, place the egg on your iPhone and measure the exact size, using a graph paper as the screen background. Then state whether the egg is room temperature or was in the refrigerator. Finally, use a slider to set whether you like your egg liquid, soft or hard. Now put the egg in a saucepan with cold water and turn on the timer as soon as the water boils. The egg spy then shows you what it looks like inside the egg.
