I forget the brand name, but it's a plastic gadget about the shape of half an egg on a base that you put in the water with your eggs. As it warms, it changes color. Because the plastic is transparent, you can see the change working its way in from the edges. When it reaches the center, you have a hard-boiled egg. If you take it out earlier, you have a soft-boiled egg.
