Brainstream is the brainchild of Dr. Rupprecht Gabriel, an inventor and electrical engineer. He couldn’t master the one task his family delegated to him in the kitchen—boiling eggs—so he cooked up a smart idea to help himself out.

Rather than focus on time, he turned his attention to temperature, and the BeepEgg floating timer was hatched. It lives with eggs in the fridge and moves straight into the pot with them. Compatible with any number of eggs, and at any altitude, it sings when different temperatures have been reached, ensuring your eggs are perfectly soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled. Ready to eat? Cregg takes the stage as a two-in-one egg cutter and stand.
