I was on lifehacker a few minutes ago and saw a link for EggWatchers. It’s a site that times out the cooking time needed to cook an egg to your specifications. After putting in your egg info, it prompts you to put your egg into boiling water. When you click on “start the timer” it picks a random YouTube video that’s as long as the required cooking time. That way, you get a perfectly cooked egg, all while being entertained. Neat, right?
Just as a test run, I told it I had a large egg that was straight out of the fridge, and I wanted it squidgy. It told me the cooking time was 6:40 and picked out an appropriate video. I was expecting something random and boring, but the video it picked up was actually quite cool. I just wanted to share it with you all here.

No kidding. If I was really cooking an egg I would have been thoroughly entertained.

What an ingenious website! I’ve often had the problem of over cooking my eggs. This is perfect!

I know, right? No more green yolks! Plus, an excuse to watch a random YouTube video in the morning is also a good thing.
