Does any store sell hard boiled eggs? Like when you go to a restaurant or salad bar they have it already chopped up?

    Most grocery stores that have a salad bar have chopped hard boiled eggs.

    I've seen them in Walmart with 2 in a pouch. But if you need more, do them at home, way cheaper. Make sure you buy eggs and leave them in the fridge for at least a week before you boil and peel them. If they're too fresh, you cannot peel them easily and end up making a mess with them.

    Cheers.

    Another good tip to help peel easily.... boil for 3-5 minutes and turn off heat. Let set in hot water for 15-20 minutes.

    Tips for boiling eggs:

    Use "older" eggs. Like, one's that are a week or less from their "sell by" date. Older eggs peel well and practically fall out of their shells.

    Put the eggs in before the water is boiling.
    Boil the eggs for 12 minutes. Some say leave in hot water, but mine never work when I do that.
    Put the pan in the sink and let cool water run on them slowly for another 15 minutes or so until you can handle the eggs with your hands. Put them back into the egg carton and label them

    Voila. They last for about a week in the fridge. No fail. :)
