Nordic Ware

[tru]

Some day when you want to go crazy, take a look at (made in the U.S.) Nordic Ware.

(I hope nobody's on dialup.)

Not my photos below. All stuff made with their specialty pans. One of their items I have is the microwave thing for making hard boiled eggs, and I'll never made stove top boiled eggs again.










p.s. See them on Facebook.

2. a quick note about the eggs

I gave up doing boiled eggs recently and switched to the Alton Brown method of baking them. 30 minutes at 325 degrees (which I typically do on one rack while cooking something on the other rack).

If you're doing a small breakfast batch the microwave thing might make the most sense but if you're doing a large batch for deviled eggs or to cook for a few days in advance, the oven's more efficient, especially if you can multitask it.

3. 4 at a time

4 at a time in the microwave is fine for me, since I'm single. It takes a few experiments to determine the amount of time for each microwave. My current one is nine minutes, then I let them sit for 15 or so minutes.

Something about this method of cooking makes them peel as easy as anything.

I will try the oven method for when I have to do a lot. Do you preheat the oven? Turn the eggs midway?

4. I don't preheat or turn the eggs

I just put them in, then put the oven on. And I leave a silicone oven liner under them - they tend to sweat very light white spots - like an egg-murder police chalk thing. The liner below the rack makes that easy to wipe off. I overcooked them once and that batch was hard to peel but if you stick to the half hour and shock them in cold water after cooking, they peel easily.

5. I'll have to bookmark this thread for my next potluck

Looks easy and a real time saver.
