    I bought an egg cooker a few years ago. It cost about $15 and very quickly steams eggs with great results. The reason I bought it was because I thought it was a good, efficient way to handle smaller batches, but I found that for some reason it doesn’t produce the foul egg smell that is typical with boiling eggs.

    Have you tried steaming eggs. Reduce the water, so it takes less time to come to a boil. The lack of submersion makes no difference to cooking time. Do cover the pot obviously.

    Quicker cooking time. I think they make for better eggs too but thats opinion based.

    Save water, save time.

    Hard boiled peeled eggs can be stored for up to five days in a ziplock in the refrigerator. You can go wild next time. I wonder if there’s a community for that…

      i personally just put them unpeeled in the fridge and then skip the peeling process entirely when i go to eat them.

      instead of peeling them, i smack them on the outside with a spoon to create a crack, then rip the eggs in half. afterwards, i can use the spoon to scoop out the insides of each half. usually takes me way less time than peeling, but im also not very good at peeling

      Please send a self-addressed envelope. It will have to be inside another envelope. But that one should have my address—the one on the outside.

      I can’t give you my address, but I’m on one of the continents and via process of elimination, you’ll get it eventually.

      It might take a while, so you should probably remind me by including a note that you want the boiled eggs.

      It might sound like you would end up sending letters asking for eggs to everyone on earth, but unless I’m the last address you send to, that seems pretty unlikely.

      I promise fast boiled-egg shipping once I receive the self-addressed envelope (inside the envelope with my address that arrives at my address). You may need to plan to receive other eggs from other people at other addresses, if they respond to your boiled-egg request attempts.

      Apologies in advance, I have a policy of not dealing in hollandaise.

      I’ve had that as a framed needlepoint above my stove since the war.
