If you like boiled eggs, you need a boiled egg timer.
It's a clear "egg" made of heat-tolerant plastic with a color-changing temperature gauge visible inside. You throw it into the pot when boiling eggs and it lets you know when the eggs are soft boiled, medium boiled, or hard boiled. It's very readable even in boiling water, and the results are always perfectly accurate. These things are totally worth the few dollars they cost.
I dunno. No matter how "heat tolerant" plastic claims to be repeated exposure to high heat seems like it'd increase the chance you'd be dosing all your foods with micro plastics and other plastic related chemicals.
Like I'd never put anything made of plastic that touches food in the microwave myself, heat resistant or not :#
Eggs have shells.
Egg shells are porous
Only after being washed.
Like submersing them in water to boil them? Eggs in the US are pre-washed as well.
Thats not a bath it's a jacuzzi. That's why they come out so relaxed.
