Abstract
An egg cooker has a holder forming at least one egg seat and adapted to be set in a body of water with an egg in the seat at least partially below a level of the water. A temperature sensor on the body detects a temperature of the body of water and an acoustic emitter on the body can emit an audible signal. A circuit including a timer and connected to the sensor and emitter starts the timer when the sensor detects a predetermined elevated water temperature and emits a first audible signal at a predetermined interval after the timer is started and a second audible signal different from the first signal at a predetermined interval after the first signal.
