How does the product determine the freshness of your eggs? Is it timer-based, or is there some sort of sensor?

There are sensors in the bottom of every egg well. So when you place an egg into a well it notes the date of the event. The clock starts ticking on the respective egg well. However, if you remove the egg and replace it with the same egg the clock starts over and the egg minder will assume it is a fresh egg.

Hello Sylvia, I had another product that worked pretty good. Sort of the same design but it had a gage that indicated when it was finished. This one did not work as well and I saw no improvement on my produce staying fresh. I would not purchase it again.

This is an egg timer when placed in a pot of boiling water. Electric or gas stoves or hot plate it doesn't matter

I think Tyler answered this question the best but I'll take a stab at it. Being that we're the consumers & not the actual manufacturer I thought it would be difficult to answer such a question. I've purchased two sets of these sights & after looking over everything carefully I've discovered that the born-on freshness date for both mine is Feb 29th 2012. Indeed that was a leap year day but it shouldn't compromise any of the freshness of the product.

I set a timer and go to a different room. Be careful because it might vibrate itself off the counter. I find that the ingredients stick to the sides so the first 5 minutes or so I scrape them down with a spatula or plastic spoon. Then it seems to work better.

I didn't note timing exactly - but maybe a couple of minutes. It was pretty quick. We had an egg cooker that was 40 years old and it usually took at least 5-10 minutes for it to cook the eggs. But the new one did it very quickly - probably why it didn't the eggs all through the first time. I have used it again and if I put in extra water it will cook all the eggs at once.

The pieces of this egg cooker layer together. They have to be aligned perfectly to meet, they do not latch, but depend on the user to match them up correctly. There is a measuring device for the water that will be a challenge for most people because it's not easy to read. The underside of this device is a sharp pin that you poke a hole in the eggs before you put them in the cooker. Though I love my cooker, I have to say that this item may be very frustrating for your friend to use.

Hi Nicole Technically it comes with both A thermostat and A glass thermometer. The thermostat is the device that you set at a Random spot and it will turn on and off to keep the temperature at that point. You use the supplied thermometer to see what temperature thermostat is holding at. The incubator will heat up quite fast but you will want to let it set for several hours to stabilize before starting the incubation of any eggs. Again it comes with both a thermostat and a thermometer, I hope this helps. Jayson

I don't know. I finished both my containers and disposed of them. If you already have bought it and cannot find the info on the container, then just go by how fresh it is. I had no problem with freshness.

I have this problem as well- I often have to weigh egg yolks, and separating an egg takes 15 seconds or so, and sometimes the scale will turn off in the middle of the process. If i turn it back on *immediately* it will remember the weight but if i don't catch it straightaway i'm out of luck and the scale is back to 0. This is extremely frustrating with items that are difficult to re-weigh, or if I'm combining items in a bowl.

No sensor. This one does not have any kind of automatic shut off. (model above this has timer) I'm glad I bought this model. Every batch is different, every time it takes a different amount of time (due to fruit size, how much moister, temp of your house, moisture in your house) Get this model and just every so often check it to taste and desiree dryness.Kale chips come out great.

The numbers are for how many eggs and how you like them, soft/hard etc.I love love this little gadget, have bought several now for friends abs family. Easy to use and easy to clean.

Use a non-stick spray. Plug in and when the light goes out it's ready. Omelets take 7-8 min. I make eggs and only takes a few minutes. Love it!

I am in a room down the hall and can hear it. It is not overly loud, like a dryer, so you may have to listen for it. It only takes about 12 to 15 minutes to complete 7 eggs. I usually cook eggs while prepping other food or load the dishwasher, so I am in the same room. I have never not answered the timer quickly.

Does your red egg have the words "HARD, MEDIUM, AND SOFT" printed in white on the red? As the red turns dark from outside towards center it indicates when your eggs are SOFT, MEDIUM and finally HARD. You need to rescue them when they reach the line indicated by one of the 3 words and put them in a cool or cold bath. Hopes this helps

There are two alarms actually. One is the temperature alarm which will sound when the temp reaches the maximum temperature you set. The other is just a straight user settable countdown timer. So, with both alarms, you can know when the oven is ready, and when the food has been in long enough. Works great.

Hi, This cooker uses a thermal read switch to monitor cooking time. This sensor is not a digital timer, but a physical one that uses temperature to determine when cooking is completed.
