Miscellaneous Monday - a kitchen gadget I love

Lately I've been eating a lot of hard boiled eggs.  Easy to make, they are a great snack at work.  Early in the week I boil up six or so eggs, which last me the week.

Several years ago I came across this gadget in a cooking store.  It was fairly inexpensive, so I bought one to try.  I hated the guesswork of how long to cook the eggs so they were at  the perfect stage, so was hopeful this would do the trick.  

About the size of a large egg, this gadget is placed in the pan along with the eggs and water.  As the eggs cook, the egg timer changes to a darker color.  Ever since I started using this, my hard-boiled eggs are always perfectly cooked.  Most definitely worth the $5 cost!
