# Musical Egg Timers The Beep Egg Cooker Floats and Plays Music to Indicate Cooking Texture By M | Published 2016-03-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-timer References: [thegreenhead](http://www.thegreenhead.com/2016/03/beepegg-singing-floating-egg-timer.php) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Drosselmeyer-Beep-Egg-Timer/dp/B001U0O0F0?tag=trenhunt0f-20) Adding an element of amusement to traditional egg timers is the BeepEgg that creatively cooks an egg inside a silicone mold that then plays music to alert the user when the egg's cooking time is complete. The use of musical tunes offers a pleasant alternative to boiling whistles or beeping timers that are most commonly used. The BeepEgg is a modern egg cooker that is shaped to look like the oval produce. The egg is placed inside the [silicone device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-scrambled-eggs) and placed inside a pot of water. The BeepEgg floats in the water and plays three distinct tunes to indicate different cooking textures, from [soft-boiled to hard-boiled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gym-kitchen-hard-boiled-eggs). The exterior of the egg timer is able to track the consistency of the egg based on an integrated temperature reader. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Musical Timer Innovation:** There is an opportunity for other kitchen products to incorporate entertaining musical elements to their timers to enhance user experience. - **Smart Cooking Products:** The integration of temperature readers to kitchen products opens up new possibilities for creating smart products that can achieve the desired cooking results with minimal user input. - **Playful Design:** Being creative and playful with the design of kitchen gadgets can improve user engagement and help brands stand out in a crowded market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Appliance:** Kitchen appliances can take a cue from the BeepEgg and incorporate playful design elements to enhance user experiences. - **Smart Home Products:** The integration of intelligent cooking devices into the smart home ecosystem may provide a compelling value proposition for connected home enthusiasts. - **Musical Instruments:** Musical instrument manufacturers can explore the opportunities presented by incorporating technology to create innovative teaching and learning gadgets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Egg-Shaped Meditation Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donha-egg.md) - [Alerting Boiled Water Discs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-boil-alert-disc.md) - [Handsfree Kitchen Character Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timer-bob.md) - [Multi-Use Timer Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chirp-timer.md) - [Kitchen Timing Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookclock.md) - [Egg-Based Snack Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muffin-maker.md) - [Responsive Egg-Like Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-pet-toy.md) - [Triple-Recipe Cooking Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oxo-triple-kitchen-timer.md) - [Tranquil Calming Kettle Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-kettle.md)
