Hard Boiled eggs!!!!
| # | Post |

| 1 | Called into supermarket and in their chiller they had 1/2 doz organic free range 'perfectly hard boiled eggs' $5.99? Only $1 dearer than actually buying the raw eggs, but it went through my brain..."what next"!! seniorbones - 2015-03-25 14:27:00 |
| 2 | Yeah like packet meals, jars of sauce and pre-sliced fruit and veges. For the too much money and not enough effort brigade. lythande1 - 2015-03-25 14:45:00 |
| 3 | And packet food is yuk, high fat and sugar! Although must admit I have used frozen mashed potatoes once and they were ok on top of fish pie, only two of us and sick of throwing out green potatoes, now I just buy a few at a time and Im sure Ive seen people give me 'expensive way to buy 3 potatoes' look. Nothing seems to last as long as it used!! seniorbones - 2015-03-25 15:06:00 |
| 4 | I saw hard boiled eggs in SM's throughout the UK when I visited last year. They were in the deli chiller with sandwiches and other lunchtime foods. nauru - 2015-03-25 18:22:00 |
| 5 | Who saw Heston cooking eggs? His method for boiling. Bring to the boil with eggs in from cold. Turn off at boiling and leave for 7 minutes then rinse in cold. I tried this and had lovely perfectly just hard boiled eggs. wendalls - 2015-03-25 20:00:00 |

Where they shelled? Maybe thats whats next! I know when i travelled through Asia, you could buy hard-boiled eggs that where shelled all floating around in a huge container in the 40 degrees heat. !! You could smell them before you saw them!! Its crazy though, buying hardboiled eggs. No wonder the young folks dont know how to cook these days :O Edited by holly-rocks at 8:32 pm, Wed 25 Mar holly-rocks - 2015-03-25 20:31:00 |

I only leave for 5 min then the eggs are good for making soldiers. I never saw the program my cousin did and she told me all about it, for some unknown reason I remembered, of all the things Ive been told in my life and remember how to boil eggs slimgym - 2015-03-26 04:34:00 |
| 10 | I bought pre-boiled eggs when I was in Korea - our apartment only had a microwave, so I found them quite handy. In Seoul, it is soooo cheap to eat out or buy pre-made everything, no-one bothers to cook anymore; from memory I think it was about 80 cents for two boiled eggs. But that's not true here, so not sure I see the point, unless age/infirmity prevents you from cooking. mjhdeal - 2015-03-26 07:31:00 |
| 11 | My local PaknSave sells peeled hardboiled eggs from the deli chiller @ $1 each. Think I've seen them in New World as well. Edited by kaddiew at 5:48 pm, Thu 26 Mar kaddiew - 2015-03-26 17:48:00 |

| 16 | be handy for a lunch for a body builder or someone wanting protein etc. or buy some, some salad etc, and healthy lunch. handy for those that arent at home, ie in hotel, at an office etc. christin - 2015-03-27 08:21:00 |
| 17 | I gave in to a whim and bought a silly looking little chicken shaped thing that said you could boil eggs in the microwave. Expecting the worst I tried it and, works fine, I use it all the time. A lot of the time I just want one egg quickly and it's often for a - I forgot to have lunch and want an egg / or an egg sandwich right now thanks - 2 minutes after thinking that I have my egg. :) sampa - 2015-03-27 11:06:00 |
| 18 | If you have an Air Fryer - pop them in the basket - no water needed -2 mins soft boiled - 4 mins hard boiled on 160 - perfect every time gerry64 - 2015-03-27 14:51:00 |
| 19 | Not everyone has access to a kitchen and can cook their own when they're out and about. When I travel and haven't got anything for lunch, I often go to the supermarket and buy food that I can make into a healthy lunch at short notice and with very little equipment, rather than go to a cafe and buy stodge or sugary foods. I would have thought being able to buy cooked eggs a real boon. Naturally, I take my own, prepared-by-own-hands food most of the time but sometimes it is not possible. Now my only issue is what goes into the eggs. You can buy them in American supermarkets but they are peeled and doused in some nasty preservative stuff which completely negates their goodness and ruins the taste.

| 20 | Sounds like a bargain. Time and energy saved in having to boil them yourself half a dozen times. 7 minutes to boil an egg multiply by 6. 42 minutes at a decent hourly rate is about $30 plus washing the dishes and power. cabrio1 - 2015-03-27 17:59:00 |

| 22 | Last year on a trip to Fiji I asked for soft boiled eggs for breakfast on one occasion. They came out hot, soft yolks and pre-peeled. Wonder who burnt their fingers doing that? I was a little perturbed initially that they were shellless but.... can't fault the customer care involved. sampa - 2015-03-27 19:19:00 |
| 23 | They were still there today with the best before 25th...when I Cook eggs and dont use straight away I wouldnt leave that long...they would be convienent for all the reasons someone mentioned. kiwiscrapper1 - 2015-03-27 19:45:00 |

Not where we stayed (really small out of the way place). They were very obviously confused by my request and tried their best to give me what they thought I wanted. It was quite sweet really so I didn't say a word and proceeded to eat my pre-peeled eggs with a show of great enthusiasm. sampa - 2015-03-30 09:36:00 |

Quite often when travelling we will decide to have a picnic for lunch. Stop at a supermarket and get coleslaw, green salad, potato salad, sliced meats, and boiled eggs (wife likes egg salad I go for boiled eggs) and fruit juice. I have a picnic basket with plates cutlery glasses etc. Have been doing that for decades and boiled eggs are usually available what is all the fuss about? Edit to add that's what Wife and I did on our first date I asked her out for lunch then went to Countdown Greerton got all the picnic stuff (fairly sure there were a couple of boiled eggs in there) picked her up and went to McLaren falls park and had a picnic by the lake, 2 years later we were married on the exact same spot :) Edited by beaker59 at 9:54 am, Mon 30 Mar beaker59 - 2015-03-30 09:49:00 |

| 36 | it's also a great way to do eggs for any dish that requires a poached egg too where the egg is either cold (or even reheated) with a runny yolk. illusion_ - 2015-03-30 20:12:00 |

| 38 | Coddled eggs. So yum. An old way of cooking them - used to be used a lot for the infirm as coddling keeps the whites oh so soft and palatable. Coddled eggs in the shell - and I don't prick them, btw. Works fine for me.http://www.recipetips.com/k- awoftam - 2015-03-30 20:40:00 |

| 41 | Yes, wendalls (#5) I cook my boiled eggs like that and they never disappoint. roshu - 2015-03-30 21:10:00 |
| 42 | I thought who would buy already boiled egg's when i saw them too. One day on a whim i purchased some smoked boiled eggs, from our local New World. Wow they are delicious and went nicely with my salad. the-archer - 2015-04-04 15:02:00 |

Maybe, but they would not be organic or free range as the op stated the ones they saw were. They would much more likely be cage hen eggs from hens living in appalling conditions and fed all sorts of artificial rubbish full of additives.
