Crossword Genius

Elderly folk with urge to replace old kitchen gadgets (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egg timers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kitchen gadgets' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'elderly folk with urge to replace old' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'urge' could be 'egg' (as in egging someone on) and 'egg' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'timers' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egg timers that I've seen before include "kitchen devices" , "Sand chronometers" .)
