Egg Boiler iPad App - Boiled Egg Timer
Tired of not getting your eggs the way you want them? Well, you're in luck. Egg boiler cooks 'em perfect every time, and works on your iPad. Just choose the desired consistency, the egg temperature and egg boiler calculates the time needed for you to get perfect eggs. Start the countdown and your iPad will signal when the eggs are done. We think on the level of expensive egg timers a $500 iPad and $.99 app is a little excessive, but imagine you can use the iPad for more than just cooking eggs.

Review: SousVide Supreme Water Oven – Cooking Perfection
This SousVide Supreme Water Oven combines a thermostatically controlled, touchpad enabled, super slow cooker function with vacuum packed foodstuffs and water to deliver perfectly cooked fish, vegetables, and other sealed items of your choice.
The product of decades of refinement by top chefs, the SousVide Supreme Water Oven cooks sealed food at precise preset temperatures for consistent cooking, and wonderful flavors. Vacuum-sealed food loses virtually none of its flavor or nutrients during cooking, and the pressure encourages flash marinating, naturally enhancing the delicious tastes and aromas of the food with little added seasoning.
The people behind the SousVide Supreme Water Oven provided us a review unit, along with spices, and a vacuum sealer for 1 week to review. We had to think fast on what we wanted to try, and decided on giving steak medium rare a try and document the process and our thoughts.

SteriPEN Classic Handheld Water Purifier - Kill Water Germs
Given the recent water fiasco here in Boston, it's nice to see you can get a device that will destroy viruses, bacteria and protozoa--including Giardia and Cryptosporidium--using ultraviolet (UV) light. The SteriPen takes 48 seconds to purify 16 ounces of fluid, 90 seconds for 32 ounces. That's quite a bit of water, and enough for most general cooking. It's also easy to use--just press a button to start and the SteriPEN shuts off when purification is complete. No pumping, no chemicals, no test strips, no timekeeping, no lubricating, and no replacement filters required.
