For those hopeless cooks, you know the ones, those that burn toast.
Why can one not buy boiled eggs?

You can. They are in the pre made sandwiches and salads case.

I think places like 7Eleven also sell them as part of a breakfast or lunch kit.

why can one not buy boiled eggs ? Because hens refuse to be heated prior to retail exchange.

You can buy them at Kroger in the deli section. I don't buy them as I do my own.

C'mon. It's a lot harder to boil an egg than it is to burn toast.
Some people also find it difficult to figure out the best order to do things, when making a sandwich.
I don't personally know any of them, but I've heard of it.

Yes you can in Spain. They come in packs of 6 or 12 just like normal eggs except they're boiled. I buy them occasionally to add to salads.

Two hard cooked eggs for $1.49 or a dozen fresh eggs for about the same price.
I might pay it if I was away from home and needed a healthy inexpensive meal.

Actually, there's a science to hard-boiling eggs and all sorts of theories on how to do it best. You can find videos on YouTube.

Might be good advice for Betrick, though.

Burning toast is no challenge, did it just yesterday morning.C'mon. It's a lot harder to boil an egg than it is to burn toast.

I boil up an 18 count of eggs at a time as I eat 2 a day for breakfast. I've had varied results, but the best technique I've found is put them in water, bring to boil, set timer for 3 minutes. Remove from water with tongs, let them cool, then put in fridge.
The true test of a boiled egg is how well it peels. Here's a video on that:

Yes there is, personally i 'coddle' mine rather than hard boil. Once we moved to higher elevations it seemed to work better, but haven't given much thought to why that may be.

Why buy boiled eggs when you can do your own? We all need help sometimes, let Jamie help you!
I do know how to boil eggs; but I love Jason's Deli salads and will get boiled eggs (2) to go with my huge salad. (They look so tempting!)
The salad is huge and lasts a couple of days.

Before I had my Instant Pot, which makes hard boiled eggs easily, this recipe worked well for me. That and the eggs peel very easily, even fresh ones. Steam them instead of boiling them.

I've never had green rings around my hard boiled yolks. Just cook them for the correct time for hard boiled... around 8 minutes.. then immediately run the pot under running old water for a minute or 2...

I've tried various TNT methods and the only absolute step for me is putting the boiled eggs into an ice-water bath to cool.
That single step makes it much easier for me to peel the eggs no matter how they were cooked.
My latest challenge is trying to make a perfect soft-boiled Mollet egg.
