Yes, I have attempted to use them. My family won't eat them and say they
are icky. I'm not sure why though. Years ago, before they were available
here that I know of, I bought them in PA. We were staying in a cabin with a
kitchen in that it had a fridge and microwave but the stove was a PITA to
use and we also didn't have a complete set of cookware. So I bought either
prepared things or things that could be done in the microwave. I did eat
those eggs. I thought they were fine. I can no longer eat eggs so I
haven't tried the ones that I see now. Winco has some on occasion and one
bag is very cheap. Probably cheaper than if you were to buy them in the
shell and make them yourself. I would be willing to bet that a lot of
restaurants that serve boiled eggs serve those.
