Whats your fav way to make hard boiled eggs? Date: April 09, 2018 11:15AM |
I'm attempting the paleo diet and I'm replacing my morning oatmeal with a pair of hard boiled eggs and some fruit. Steaming eggs for 15 min on the stovetop has worked well for me so far but I'm trying to work toward something a bit more convenient. I bike to work and transporting eggs...I can do it, but I'd rather not. I thought I might figure out a way to boil them at work.
Any tips?

We bought one of those rapid egg cookers for xmas -- its by far the easiest way to hard boil eggs. I put them in the kids lunches, peel first then put in a little hard plastic containter. Easy peasy.

4 as soon as boiling remove pan from burner and cover and sit for ten minutes.

6 minutes in my Instant Pot. put a cup of water in the bottom, the eggs of a strainer, seal it and go -- perfect every time. The pressure also gets between the egg and the shell, separating the two. The shell just peels away cleanly and easily. You can do 1 or a couple dozen in the same 6 minutes.
This.
I make a batch, peel them, and put them in a covered, glass Rubbermaid container with a paper towel in the bottom. Take out a couple every morning to eat as is or mash up with mayo for egg salad.

How have I been doing it lately?
Electric hot water kettle... drop in a couple or three eggs. Overfill with water enough to cover, plus a cup of tea's worth.
Turn on. Allow to boil. Start 8 minute timer. Pour water for a cup of tea. Leave the kettle alone for 8 minutes.
When the timer beeps, dump hot water out, flush with cold. Remove eggs.
Caveat: I like my hard boiled eggs slightly under-done. Not quite "soft boiled", but a certain orange tint and non-crumbly, non-liquid, softness. Add a minute or two if you like a more "done" egg.

you could move to Phoenix and leave the egg on the sidewalk at noon for a couple of minutes.
maybe pay someone to go pick it up

Be careful.
They'll try to scamper out of the pan.

This one works just fine. I have one, my mother has one, even my cranky cook of a husband likes it: [www.amazon.com]Quote

ztirffritz,
I see that your cooker, originally about $30, is being sold USED on Amazon for over 4 times that amount, and a new one is advertised for over $200. I guess they ain't makin' em any more.
Your wife made a great call.

So, you would rather not transport hard boiled eggs to work but rather transport fresh eggs in-the-shell and boil them at work...

So you never said why you can't just boil the eggs at home (in the evening, or morning) and eat at work.
I could do that as well. There are multiple ways of completing the task.

One cooking method not mentioned yet (wait, why are we talking about cooking?) is baking. Was my preferred method before the egg cooker.
Seriously, the little cooker is amazing, and you could easily do it at work. There is ZERO cleanup.
Poke a hole, put egg in tray, add 1/8 cup water, put on cover, push button, walk away. Timer sounds when done. Rinse off tray and lid. Peel, eat. No pan, no boiling water, no "rolling boil", no varying times, no stove, and PERFECT every time.
Only thing is other peoples noses. My wife cant stand the smell of hard boiled eggs cooking. So we are not allowed unless shes not home and gone for awhile.

I used the instant pot - I did 5 min high pressure, 5 min until i took the top off. The eggs are super easy to peel but just a touch over cooked. Next time I'll open the top a bit quicker.
Long run, maybe I'll get an egg cooker so I can buy and cook them at work instead of transporting.

I've got one of those 7-egg, domed cookers. Maybe 20 different 'brands' make by the same kids in Guangzhou, very similar to the Krups in principle. Paid $13.
I use it to poach eggs, but it's a dicey proposition to get them just right— over medium with whites dry and yoke runny.
One the yoke is over done (read: hard boiled) the texture and taste don't appeal to me at all, except for deviled egg.
