Hate to peel HB eggs?

[CherTLC4u]

I have a friend who cooks alot and she just told me this today.

Take a dozen raw eggs and seperate whites and yolks into two glass bowls. Put the bowl with the whites into the microwave for 3-5 minutes. Stir if still raw in the center. Take it out. Then put the bowl with the yolks into the microwave and cook 3-5 minutes. Dump both of these into a larger bowl and chop.

Viola!! Hard boiled eggs ready to go into a salad or add ingredients for egg salad!

Its REALLY easy!

If you use less eggs, vary times accordingly.

...and if you spray the bowl with PAM you won't have messy bowl to clean.

Just don't try to save time and cook them together. Bang, you will have a explosive mess. LOL

I was wondering what would happen if you did that. LOL!! I love HB eggs and this makes it a heck of alot easier.

Great idea if you're doing a lot of eggs.

Great Idea! I make a big bunch of hard boiled eggs every week for tuna-egg salad. So I tried this last night - must of done something wrong? Both exploded all over. I did 5 eggs - separated yolks and whites. I put a paper towel on top so I didn't have too big a mess. Does it matter what kind of bowl - would shallow or deep work better? Do I need to stir every 30 seconds or so? Thanks for any help. I am not usually "recipe-challenged"!

Depending on the amount of eggs, I usually stir mine 2-3 times during cooking for 3 eggs. Guess I should have mentioned that.
