Hard Boiled Eggs

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I bake my bacon, too.

I alllllllways bake my bacon. SO perfect!

And it doesn't splash grease everywhere.

I bake my bacon too! I put the cooked bacon in the fridge and reheat it a piece at a time in the microwave. So much easier.

You know what else is good (and similar)? I buy country ham at the deli and ask for it in thin slices. (I do ask them to show it to me first so I don't get a ham that is too fatty/stringy.)

Put a slice on a paper towel and zap it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. It crisps up like bacon and is almost as delicious and MUCH easier/faster. YUM.

I put salt in the Water when I'm boiling them, works every time.

I found the precooked/peeled eggs at the store last night and bought some. I didn't think they were too expensive and definitely convenient.

I buy them at the grocery store... no peeling needed.

You can buy perfect hard boiled eggs at the store now. I do mean perfect. Bright yellow yolks.

I don't know why but I can't bring myself to buy the precooked eggs. I know that they are fine but they just don't look right to me. I boil my own eggs, peel them, and take them to work. So, there isn't any difference. Oh well, I haven't been able to figure out why I have a problem with the store bought eggs.

Can anyone tell me how long it took for you to be able to eat boiled eggs after surgery? I usually boil my eggs and then place them in cold Water to peel them. Sometimes this works perfectly, however if you boil them too long, the peelings still stick.

I was allowed soft foods after 2 weeks, so that's when I started eating eggs

Poach them. Add a little bit of vinegar it the Water before putting the eggs in. As soon as the water starts to boil reduce the heat and voila best poached eggs ever! Dry them on a paper towel and enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback. I am 8 weeks out, so I may try a boiled egg now and see if it works.

I put vinegar and a little baking soda in the Water when I cook them. I also put in food coloring so it's easier to tell hard boiled from uncooked.

Takes 10minutes and fresh eggs peel super easy. Only holds 4 eggs at a time though.

I received a tip from someone to put baking soda (1 teaspoon) in the Water while boiling, I tried it, it did help with easier peeling. it's worth a try.
