Ready to eat hard boiled eggs

[Anonymous]

I highly recommend the Nordicware microwave hard boiled egg maker. It's about ten bucks, IIRC, and produces perfect hard boiled eggs in seven minutes with no stove watching involved.

Another alternative. I needed to add some protein for breakfasts, but wanted to cut back on the fat in eggs. So I now get cartons of the egg whites and put two eggs worth of egg white in a small bowl, microwave for 40 seconds and I have a fat free egg white omelet. A dash of salt and pepper and it's a fast way to get the protein without the fat.

You should just drink it from the carton. Saves time.

I'm ignoring the you can fix them for yourself b/c I see these at the hotel/motel breakfast bars and so I'd like to know the preservative answer b/c altho I do fix my own eggs I would like to know what I am eating when I am on the road!

How do you know that these are pre-peeled eggs with preservatives? I would assume that the establishment is boiling and peeling their own eggs.

I buy the ready to eat hb eggs. I know that it is super simple to make them myself, but yet I never do, and these are just super convenient. I don't notice a nasty taste. I also don't eat the yolks...just the whites.

I don't think they taste as good. We were buying them recently while renovating our kitchen while without a stove. The kids were okay with them but I found them rubbery.

When I am out and on the run, I buy them at Au Bon Pain for a quick breakfast or lunch. They are fresh and very good.

I start them in cold water, bring to a boil, turn off heat, and let sit for 15 mins. Then remove to an ice bath. Perfect every time. Must be way cheaper too.
