We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME (warning: probably loud) 11 comments
These are such beautifully simple machines. It's got a heating element, a fuse and an alarm. when the water evaporates, the plate gets hot enough to open the fuse. The power is then rerouted through the alarm. So you control cooking length simply by adding more/less water! All I did was replace the alarm (which took 120V AC directly) with a little AC-DC module (basically what's inside a phone charger) and so it sends out 5V DC when its done cooking. I'm knocking it down to 3.3 and hooking it up directly to the the music box. music box module available here:   @MLE_online feels like they just repurposed hardware from some old early digital alarm clocks lol @timonsku It also sounds like phone alert to tell you that there's a severe weather warning and to take shelter   @gvy_dvpont  @gvy_dvpont Much improved! The original sounds like you should grab your egg and run to your battle station.  |

@gvy_dvpont ... Why did they design it the original way? Who thought that was a good idea?!
