● What is the Eggtimer?

The Eggtimer is a thermometer to see how an egg is being boiled. The Eggtimer tells it by changing the body color.
Directions of the Eggtimer.
Heat eggs, the Eggtimer, and water in a pot. If the edge of Eggtimer's body color is changed a bit, it shows that eggs are cooked a little bit. If half of Eggtimer's body color is changed, it shows that eggs are cooked medium-boiled eggs. However, graduations of Eggtimer will get influenced by size of egg or heat level. This means that the graduations of Eggtimer work relatively to show how boiled eggs are being boiled. We recommend to use the Eggtimer under same conditions such as size of pan, heat level, and volume of water. When Eggtimer shows the same level of color change with the previous timer under the same conditions with the previous time, we gurantee boiled eggs are cooked identically with the previous time.

Except for the case of Eggtimer trouble, this comes from heating not enough to change the color of the Eggtimer. Once check the volume of water and the heat level of the pan.
