Way too cute. Are Bubba's lunches refrigerated or do you just use an ice pack? My kid loves boiled eggs but I've always been afraid to pack them in his lunch, even with the ice pack.
I freeze the juice box, and also have one of those blue freezer packs tossed in his lunch bag, too. I'm not to terribly worried about an egg getting too warm to safely eat.

The kid ater dog kibble as an infant...he can certainly eat a mildly warm hard boiled egg. :lol:

He did have stornger teeth, but I never did see the "Shinier Coat" they promised.. Maybe try canned food next time around.. maybe for the grandkids..
 
This boiling eggs thing is so 1970s
put it in the microwave for 3 minutes, the shell comes off on its own.

Yeah, tried that once. Figured if I poked couple holes in it it would be ok. Blew the door open. Not a pretty sight. This was at work too, but they still kept me around for some reason.

So why do some of mine crack while boiling? I start them in cool water.
I've also read to let eggs get to room temperature before putting them in the water. Not sure if there's a big temp difference between tap water and fridge temp, but that's one reason why they can crack also.

I'm about to try this for some soft-boiled eggs I'm making this morning. You'd think boiling an egg would be something real simple. Put them in boiling water and done, right? :lol:

When the water starts boiling, remove your pot from heat, then cover for about 10 minutes. Drain the hot water and replace with icy water for about 10 minutes. Perfect egg every time. :yay:

Just did this to a "T" and just threw out a dozen eggs. Def did not work out for me. I would say they were undercooked. :(

Add two minutes to the covered part and make sure the water has come to a rolling boil before doing so.

Wenchy-compared to last nights eggs, I had great success. Some of the eggs didn't peel real good.

They need to cool down after the process. I fill the pot with cold water and change it every few minutes. I then take a heavy tablespoon and whack the egg all around while holding and spinning it in my hand (I have received strange looks for this, but it works...I think my mom taught me this) Then I place the tablespoon upside down under the egg and the entire shell falls off. I have had a few failures (fresh eggs) but many more successes.

Google "perfect hard boiled eggs".

Yes, I love hard boiled eggs/egg salad/deviled eggs.

You should try my method. :whistle: Bring water to a boil, add eggs, boil for 14 min, then immediately put eggs in ice water until cool.
