How do you want them?

These go from snap to limp in about thirty seconds. Sensei will not let you overshoot.

How to tell without a timer

Into the ice bath now.

Straight into ice water when the timer ends. Pods left in the hot pot keep cooking.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
