I ran across a gizmo made in Germany called the "Beep Egg" by Brain Stream, a singing floating egg timer. Sounded good so it ended up in the stocking.
This morning we tried it out, skeptical at first, but to our surprise a total success.
Here is how it works: you store the egg timer with the eggs so it has the same temperature as the eggs. Start out the usual way, put the eggs in the water and turn the heat on. This particular egg timer emits the tune of "Oh Susanna" when the eggs reach the soft boiled stage, "Take me out to the Ballgame" at the medium-boiled stage, and finally "Hail Hail the Gangs All Here" when the egg is hard boiled (German humor I suppose). Other melodies are available as well.
As you can see the water never comes to a boil, yet the eggs are perfectly cooked.

Guten Appetit!
