A'bout a year ago, Profes
sor Baker and his staff began
experimenting with breaking
eggs out of their shells in the
fresh state, putting them in
plastic tubes, and cooking
them. The consumer would
then peel the tube off the.eggs
much easier than peeling oft
shells.
■Several types of materials
weie used for tubes before it
was found that poly.propolene
appeared to have the proper
ties needed. It is fairly econ
omical, easy to work with be
cause it, is pliable,, and peels
easily from the eggs because
it. is- not elastic. Also it is
quite im'pervious and keeps
bacteria out.
Shelf life of the product is
excellent, Baker said. Hard
cooked eggs m plastic have
been kept for as long as eight
weeks as -to degrees F. with
no deterioration.
In the .product now being
market-tested, four large -eggs
are used per roll. One end of
the tube is clipped; the eggs
are placed in the tube by use
of a funnel arrangement, and
the other end of the tube is
clipped. The roll is then pla
ced in water for cooking*

ther there were any yolks in
the rolls Some Oif the house
wives felt it would be better
if the yolks did ' not remain
in the center of the roll.
Baker ibeheves that the
ready cooked eggs will find
good acceptance by consumeis.
He points -out that the uni
formity of slices as well as
the ease of peeling and slic
ing will appeal to the busy
housewife Since polvpi opylene
is less porus than egg shells
the shelf life will be gi eater
than for eggs cooked and stor
ed in their natural shells
He believes that the haid
cooked egg in a 101 l is a new'
venture that should help in
crease the sale of_ eggs, but
points out that it is too early
to tell if the consumer w ill
accept the product.
