You make them ahead of time and refrigerate them in a bottle? I guess I don't see the point in that. It takes 2-3 minutes in the microwave to get some bacon ready to crumble into bits.

microwave bacon!?!?!?!

Joe Public, what is going on???

I understand your general point (and I am a fan of the costco bacon bits), but that's funny.

Just yesterday someone gave me a free package of bacon with the only stipulation being that I had to pick it up at their home. They left the package of bacon in their mailbox. No problem!

Whoa. That's crazy!

Add copious amounts of salt to the water (like a quarter cup) and place the eggs in ice water as soon as you take them off the heat. With those two steps, the shells come off pretty easily (and the blanching also keeps the yolks from turning brown).

This works. It also works to steam the eggs followed by an ice water bath. The steamed eggs are even easier to peel.

Now we need to have one of our resident smokers smoke some eggs, blanch them, and return and report the ease/difficulty with which they peel.

I know about the cooling and peeling part, but whats this rolling thing? Consider me intrigued.

I'm going to just assume that all of these posts discussing hard boiled eggs are from people agreeing that properly made deviled eggs are awesome.

I just microwave them at the same time I'm heating up my bacon bits.

So after they are cooled you have to crack the shell somehow to get started on the peel. I crack the egg on the flat countertop. Once the egg crack has started, I roll the egg along the flat surface, adding a little downward pressure on the egg (but not a lot), moving from my fingertips to my palm or until I do a complete rotation of the egg. At that point you have two main halves that can pop off pretty easily.

"wallah!"

Is it weird if I'm a little turned on?
