BeepEgg Musical Egg Timer

What’s not to love about eggs? They are cheap, can be made into different kinds of viand, and they are very easy to prepare. But even if they’re easy to prepare, getting the right consistency could be really hard. Like you have to decide how long you will keep your eggs there boiling, is it a few minutes after bubbles go or just a little while. Do you have to keep eggs boiling longer if from the fridge? How long would you make it sit boiling if you want it runny, hard or a bit of both? How long should I cook one egg? How about two or three? A lot other more questions pop up when you think about it.

Your old fashioned egg timer could work at times but it is only time based and doesn’t measure the temperature of the water. Like putting an egg on a boiling water is different from putting an egg just as you start boiling the water. A more effective measure is putting a thermo-sensitive device or the BeepEgg. The BeepEgg plays a music according to how your egg is cooked! Killing me softly for a runny egg, I wish I was a hen to have a firm yolk but a little hard on some parts, and Carmina Burana (like the sound of an epic happening, Google it) for the full cooked egg. All you have to do is cook the BeepEggs with real eggs and wait for it to play music.

The BeepEgg will make sure that cooking egg is fun, precise and entertaining.

Keep Track of Your Food with DaysAgo Refrigerator Timer

I can remember my enthusiasm as I buy this gourmet bread from the supermarket. I didn’t mind the 5 days expiration date on the bread and saying to myself that I would consume it anyway. As I get back home, I immediately ate it and damn it tasted so good. I placed it in the refrigerator for later consumption. Little did I know that 7 days have already passed and molds already grew on the bread . Too bad I have to throw the bread but it couldn’t have spoiled if I only knew that it was due for consumption already and I could have savored its tasty and fine taste. More or less you have also the same experience with other stuffs packed in your fridge like spreads, salsa or that covered up in foil food.

Introducing the DaysAgo Refrigerator Timer. As the name implies, it is basically a timer that counts how long an item has been in your refrigerator. Just stick it on the food container, press start and let the counting begin. It can display the duration in hours or days and can stick on jars or plates with its suction cup base and to other things with a magnetic strap attachment. Each pack contains six and comes in different colors. The  batteries included can last for 6 months (which I hope won’t be up when you find out that missing slice of pizza is just there tucked in the deepest recesses of your fridge).

Digital Hourglass

Here’s an evolution from old to new technology, an hour glass newly designed and fully functional.  As an alternative of sand gradually leaking to the other half replaced with LED lights.  It works well as a kitchen timer, but it doesn’t end there, it would be a fascinating thing to have sitting out in any room.  It might be hard to discover precisely how much time you have left before it’s done.  Thus, it would still give the impression of being great while counting down.

There has been other stuff alike to this, not fairly as stylish as this one, but comparable ideas.  This was designed by Young Bok Kim and miserably is still a perception design.  Even though possible and even if it weren’t, it would be bizarre of the regular price range.  If you’re seeking for a reasonably priced version and merchandise you’re actually able to acquire you could check out the Digital Hour Glass Timer and bid for it.  It’s not relatively as nice-looking as this design, but it could surge you over till the real McCoy arrive.

Don’t let the water drip

Conserving water and energy is a big deal in everyone’s lives. The continuous shortage to some parts of the world poses as a big threat and should be heeded by all mankind. In lieu of this, designer Julia Treutiger has designed a shower head that “thinks’ to help you conserve water.

This gadget has divisions which acts as timers every time you take the shower head off its cradle. The segments then slowly snap back into place slowly but it still gives you enough time to rinse your hair and body before it automatically shuts off the device to help you realize that you are already wasting too much precious water.

This shower head is a great design especially since most people leave the water running even if they’re not using it. Like when you’re brushing your teeth or shampooing your hair, water doesn’t have to be pouring out of the faucet. However, some people have been used to hearing the water splash down on the floor but in times where we have to be environmentally conscious, even a single drop is considered a big waste.

Now hurry up and scrub those remaining suds behind your ears before time runs out!!
