Last week I tried this new trend in making hard boiled eggs in the oven. It's been going around the internet and I had some time to test it. So I thought I'd give it a try. I watched the video a few times to be sure I had done it correctly and then off I went.
Yes, it is pretty easy to make hard boiled eggs in the oven. It is pretty much a no brainer. However, making regular boiled eggs is really pretty easy.
However, as I learned using a muffin tin that has already been sprayed with baking oil will leave your eggs spotted. Inside and out!
And I think that having to prepare the ice bucket bath was just one too many steps in preparing a normally fuss free dish.
The shells peeled pretty well. But really, I'm not sure if it was worth the hype.
Oh well! I gave it a try and I think I'll stick with a pot of water and an egg timer.
Have you tried a hack that didn't measure up to the hype? Let us know in the comments!
I saw this on foodnetwork too! I was so curious to try it. Thanks for posting this. I always wondered whether or not it would actually work or be worth the time and effort.
Yeah, it sounded cool. But it was more work then it was worth
