Inspired from swimswim's clever idea of a hard boiled egg indicator stamp indicating hard boiled or not, the next level of this where you have a little printed thermometer or gauge graphic that changes depending on how long it's boiled indicating the state of the egg from "soft boiled", "medium hard"
to "hard boiled".
The indicators dissolve in boiling water at different times allowing the graphic on the egg to change depending on how cooked the egg is.
Inspired by this idea.

This is what I mean by "stamp".

The gauge would be printed directly on the egg. [doctorremulac3, Nov 25 2022]

And happy Thanksgiving to you and all the other great Halfbakers out there! |

I thought it was the girly equivalent of Ben Hur. |

The ink could also be heat sensitive to change color as well. Might take a little more research than the different boiling point inks but might be a better approach. |

//Though not painted directly on the eggshell in that example// |
|
| |
That's the whole idea, to have it stamped directly on the eggshell. |
|
| |
Tell you what, why don't you go check and see if that's been patented. Not a sticker, a direct stamp on the eggshell as clearly specified in my post. |
|
| |
If it has been, I'll take the idea down and you can give yourself a victory lap. |
|
| |
Let me know when you've checked if it's been patented. Leave the design to me. |
|

This might make you feel good, I used to do a web search to see if something's already been done before posting it on the HB but I don't anymore. I know you'll drop whatever you're doing when you see a post from me and do an exhaustive search, something I'm not motivated enough to do. These are little sketches for me, nothing more. |

So you're actually being very helpful. Thank you. |
|
| |
Use Google Patents, the Patent Office is a mess by comparison. And again, thank you for your assistance. |

To be honest, I think this idea is very misguided. It almost reads like it is written for the lower classes. I mean, surely, this is a matter that is the responsibility of the housekeepers? They should ensure that your eggs are cooked to an appropriate degree of hardness or friedness without even needing to be asked. And to be honest no-one with any class would allow eggs with anythign printed on them at all into the house so that makes the idea die of embarearsement at the first hurdle. |

Have a word with the butler or the domestic secretary if the problem persists. |

| |
Print on 4 sides, problem solved. |

Could also have 3 pictures that sequentially change: sunny side up egg, soft boiled in a cup and hard boiled being held with salt being sprinkled on it. |
