  • Works but conventional approach to obtain peeled hard boiled eggs produces a better product.

    It takes some time and effort to set up To hard boil another 18 minutes is required after which the boiled egg is shaped more like a paraboloid than an egg and the surface is mottled. These are aesthetic negatives but the edibility is not impaired. If one needs only an egg or two sticking to the old fashioned boil and peel is no more difficult.

  • No Instructions
