Egg Boil Timer

About Us

A free egg timer that works out the cooking time for the way you like your eggs.

What Egg Boil Timer is

Egg Boil Timer is a free online kitchen tool. Choose the cooking method, how done you want the egg, its size and whether it comes from the fridge, and the timer shows the cooking time and counts it down while a 3D egg cooks on screen.

How the times are worked out

Cooking times are based on egg size, starting temperature, altitude and the doneness you pick. Every stove, pan and egg is a little different, so treat the result as a close estimate and adjust by a few seconds to suit your kitchen.

What you get

  • Five cooking methods: boiled, poached, fried, scrambled and omelette.
  • A real-time 3D view of the egg as it cooks.
  • 29 languages, and it can be installed as an app on your phone.
  • Free to use, with no account or sign-up.

Food safety

Soft and runny eggs are not fully cooked. Young children, pregnant women, older people and anyone with a weakened immune system should eat eggs that are cooked through.
