Centrifuge it to obtain about 1/8 ton of cream, then
make sf's chocolate ice box cake.

I saw in the grocery store the other day - a deviled egg kit. It was a
plastic tray filled with halved hard-cooked eggs and pastry bag already
filled and ready to go. I wish I paid enough attention to see how much
it was selling for. It might have been about a dozen eggs.

There might have been something else in there too - maybe some paprika
for sprinkling.

Our local Costco has packages of 2 dozen hard-boiled peeled eggs for
less than $4. They are perfectly peeled and wonderful for deviled eggs
for a party in a hurry, egg salad, or for a snack when you want just one.

I've tried to many times to get the perfect hard-boiled eggs for deviled
eggs and ended up with pock-marked messes when I tried to peel them.
These are perfect for the purpose.

Thats funny-I was going to make deviled eggs Easter weekend and forgot I
ran out of Miracle Whip. I ended up using Thousand Island dressing. They
were not very good. I remember thinking I wish I could buy a jar of
ready-made deviled egg mixture to mix the yolks into.

I've seen those hard-cooked pre-peeled eggs. I don't know what the
brand was but I, too, looked at them and wondered "Who would buy these?"
They were in the deli-section of Publix near the 'better' cheeses and
the bakery. I shrugged and walked on by. I've got absolutely no use
for half a dozen hard boiled eggs.

If you were making devilled eggs you would obviously had lots of eggs on
hand. Why not make yo9ur own mayo? One night many years ago my wife
was at some school function and I had to make supper for my son. We had
lots of leftover chicken and he wanted chicken salad sandwiches on the
nice fresh baguette I had picked up. I had everything chopped up and
ready to go and realized we had no mayo in the house. I did have eggs.
I figured it was a good time to try making mayo. It was easy and it was
delicious.

Winco sells a huge bag for cheap. We're talking restaurant supply type
cheap. Cheaper than if you were to buy raw eggs by the dozen. Granted if
you were to buy eggs by the rack (and they do sell them that way) they might
be cheaper.

Most of the pre-shelled eggs I've come across are USDA Medium, which
might account for the price differentials.

Many people don't know how to cook eggs so they are easy to peel.

I often hard cook a couple three dozen eggs at once, I love pickled
eggs, and they can keep at room temperature for months. But I would
never buy those pre-cooked peeled eggs... how difficult is it to boil
eggs, and I have no problem peeling eggs.

I've only seen them once (obviously it's not an item that's high on my
list of what to buy at the grocery store) and I think they were in an
odd place, like the meat department. I think that was the one and
only time I've actually noticed the precooked bacon too. Either that
or easy to make foods like those don't sell well here and aren't there
to be seen.

Very fresh eggs are difficult to peel.

Are you really this dumb? Thery're a convenience product for busy parents.
Same category as pre-washed and pre-torn lettuce, frozen TV dinners, and all
the other stuff that Gary can't live without.

Nothing dumb about pointing out the simplicity of boilng eggs.

WTF?? Busy parents don't make devilled eggs. Busy parents who find
themselves in need of making devilled eggs can put their kids to work
peeling the eggs.

I have to say that when I first read about the devilled egg kits my
first thought was that it sounded like a great way to market old eggs.
When they get too old to sell as fresh eggs you can boil them up and
extend their shelf life a bit.

That was my first thought to. It is like the guacamole I see for sale in
the grocery store. Great way to sell over ripe avocados.

I have a rotation. In one particular part of the fridge I have the
fresh eggs that are used for breakfast. the next time I go shopping,
those eggs get moved and each egg is labeled with a pencil date. The
new eggs go in the breakfast spot, the older eggs go elsewhere and
are used for baking, cooking and finally hard boil. The pencil date
makes sure that none get overlooked.

the grocery store doesn't have facilities to cook up and package eggs.
A big chicken ranch isn't set up for that either. These packages of
pre-cooked foods are put out by big outfits that specialize in
deli-type foods.

That is what I do, except for pencilling in the date. That is a good idea

How many do you buy at one time? I can buy 2 dozen and they're gone
in less than a week.

thanks for the info. I've never looked at (or actually seen) any
pre-cooked eggs anywhere so I wouldn't have known how to find the
producer. I have seen various cooked potatoes for sale. I've seen
baked potatoes and can't imagine what they are like because they can
become so nasty.

I buy 2x 15 at a time. Sometimes I will use them quite quickly - other
times not. When I start the last pack I buy more

Wow - and I thought *I* was anal. Pencil date on each egg? That's a new one on me. I just put the oldies on top of the open carton of newies in the egg bin and go from there.

Not anal. I just want the newest eggs for fresh eating. I may have
only a couple eggs to move on into the "oldie" carton. I simply
pencil them so that I know which ones are the oldest. If I just
wanted to eat my way through the eggs that I had, your way would
certainly work.
