    In the first of a series* I present: The IoT Egg Counter[^] Yes! You keep eggs in it! Yes! It talks to a mobile app via the internet! Yes! It tells you which egg to use first! Or not, according to the comments, like "it loses the WiFi when it's in the fridge", and "it can't count reliably". * Probably a series of one

      OMG. Even when working as expected there is a big flaw: When removing an egg inadvertently and placing it back, it will be treated as fresh.

          Well yes ... but that's a bit like complaining that the worst bit of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was getting the blood stains off the seat covers, rather than its pivotal role in starting WWI :laugh:

                But... It's an IoT shiny-shiny! How can you possibly criticise it?! :)

                  :doh: :doh: Easy... it has a couple of places more just in case you buy new ones when still having one or two from previous packet. :rolleyes:

                  M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                        If you have a family of 4 kids, just making omelettes for the family uses up 12 eggs!

                            You'll have to use COLD water when washing, preferably with an enzyme detergent. If you use hot water or tumble dry without having removed the stain prior, the only way to remove it is using oxalic acid.
