Eggs are rich in nutrients, healthy fat and protein and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Peeling hard-boiled eggs can be tedious and frustrating but the Costco Kirkland Signature Organic Hard-Boiled Eggs come already cooked, peeled and ready-to-eat! The idea of a packaged hard-boiled egg initially sounded unappealing, but trying these changed my mind! Find out why below.

Location in Store
We bought these while vacationing in Kona, Hawaii. They can be found in the refrigerated milk section at Costco with the other eggs and the item number is 1165240.
Taste
I won’t pretend there’s much to say about these hard-boiled eggs. They’re very basic but they’re also pretty tasty! I was a bit grossed out at the idea of packaged eggs before I tried them but I was pleasantly surprised. The eggs are boiled just the right amount, the yolks are the perfect softness, not runny or mushy and not hard.
The outside of the eggs aren’t slimy and are nice and firm. They taste great with a little pepper or hot sauce. If you are also interested in making egg salad or potato salad and are short on time these are super convenient to use instead of boiling and peeling your own.
Cost
There are 16 packs of two eggs in the box, so 32 eggs total and I paid $11.99 USD for the box. Which actually isn’t bad! Eggs aren’t cheap in Canada so I was expecting these to be a lot more based on how they’re a convenience item and have extra packaging.
Convenience
The eggs need to be kept refrigerated and have a best-before date that’s about one month from when we purchased them. We bought these while traveling and it was really nice to be able to just toss a pack in our cooler or my bag for my toddler to eat while we were driving around.
Eggs are a quick and convenient source of protein and fat and it’s really easy to boil them yourself. I wouldn’t buy these all the time but for camping, road trips and vacations they come in handy!

The eggs aren’t anything special, but they changed my mind. I went from being grossed out by the idea of packaged hard-boiled eggs to being able to say I’d buy them again!

I could not find these precooked hard boiled eggs today in south austin costco. I only found packaged uncooked eggs. I need an aisle number please.
I appreciate the review, I had seen reviews in the past that made these eggs appear iffy. Now I can have these put on my aunt’s shopping list confidently without wondering what will show up at her door.
Thank You!
If you have an instant pot or any pressure cooker than you can easily make hard boiled eggs using the 5-5-5 method which is five minutes of pressure cooking five minutes of allowing it to cool down and then plunging the eggs into icy water for five minutes. This method makes your hard boiled eggs, extremely easy to peel. Just saying 😃
Talk about the ultimate overpackaged convenience food!
If you don’t cook but can boil water, you can “cook” eggs 🤣!! For road trips, just boil up a few and chill them in their natural packaging aka the shell and then into the cooler with some ice packs. Easy peasy.
That said, thanks for your review, I read it with interest and some amusement 😉.
Yes at home I started to boil eggs weekly to send in my daughters lunch and I’m pretty much a pro at peeling them now! I won’t be buying these again anytime soon 🙂
Not everyone wants to, nor can do, that. These eggs provide a healthier alternative for food on the run, for those looking for just that, in addition to the people who need them for other options.
Keep in mind that a lot of weirdly convenient food is aimed at disabled people. What is easy for you is dangerous or impossible for some other adults who would like to also have some eggs.
