I am sure that some of you have already know about making Hard boiled eggs in the oven. YES-in the oven and no water needed. Just take a muffin tin and put an egg in each cup. Then pre-heat oven to 325 degrees and bake the eggs for 30 minutes. Then place eggs in ice-cold water bath to cool. You will have to change the water a few times to cool them. I just use the extra water to water my plants. Peel and enjoy.
I have never tried that...I didn't want to take the chance of them not cooking all the way...It does sound interesting but it seems like a little more work than boiling them for 10 minutes...
an egg cooker is a wonderful appliance. they are done in 10 minutes or so. and always peel nicely no matter how fresh the eggs are. I tried the oven method but I really didn't like it.
Goodness gracious, I never knew about the oven method, nor about "egg cookers". I'll try the oven method on a few eggs, and start looking for an "egg cooker." What in the heck do they look like? You folks are making a better cook out of me!
We both got so tired of more egg sticking to the peel than we had left to eat, hubby now buys pre-boiled and shelled eggs at the grocery.
Mmmm,,,Think I will spray the muffin tin with non-stick spray and just crack the egg into it. Different shape but should work the same.
Jane an egg cooker is kind of like a rice cooker. Mine is round and 3 parts. the base which heats up and holds the water for the steam, a "tray" which has circles for the eggs to sit in with a knob in the center which also has a piercing pin to prick the eggs and a lid which fits over the eggs. plug it in and push the button. 10 minutes and the eggs are done.
Very interesting,..i never heard about making hard boiled eggs in an oven,..perhaps they are easier to shell,..shelling was always a problem,..i tend to just boil mine for three minutes then drop them into an egg cup,..pointed side up,..i have boiled them in my Microwave Oven Grill,..by cracking open the egg and dropping it into a special eggcup which has a screw top with wee holes in the top,..one can see when the egg had hardened,..very tasty if one adds a small amount of butter before cooking
As I have mentioned before (ad nauseum) we have hens, and therefore quite a few eggs. I have found that the older eggs (7 to 10 days old) peel cleanly. Fresher eggs are not pretty when shelled. I've started marking the date on the egg shells, so I know when our eggs are "boil and shell" capable, and when to use them for quiches, omelettes, etc. I'm going to get an egg cooker. At the rate the ladies are laying, I'll need it!
Philip, no need to preserve eggs. Our ladies lay right through the year. Our winters aren't cold enough and the cold snaps are short, so they don't shut down. We do get fewer eggs, but we still get eggs, enough for us and some to share.
That's fantastic,..laying through the year though with fewer eggs,.. is far better than no eggs,..good little ladies
Great to hear from all of you on this baked Egg thing. I will also have to look into the egg-cooker. But they do cook up-into hard boiled eggs rather well for me when I bake them in the oven. I hate having to stand there and watch the water come to a boil then put in the eggs. Usually if I did not put a small hole in the pointed end of the egg they would crack when boiled. So with the oven method I just put them in the pre-heated oven, set the timer and in 30min's I have hardboiled eggs. But the egg-cooker sounds like a real good way to get hard-cooked eggs also. Well on to more egg-ceptional duties. Have a great day all.
