Abstract
A coated shell-less cooked egg product and method for making same. The coated product includes a shell-less cooked egg product. And, a strip encircling at least 50% of a circumference of the egg product, the egg product having a first end and a second end. Also, a coating enclosing (i) substantially all of a surface area of the egg product and (ii) at least 75% of the strip and as much as 100% of the strip. At least a first end of the strip extends away from the egg product so the first end of the strip can be grasped to assist in removal of the coating from the egg product during a peeling phase. The coating may include a first coating layer and a second coating layer.

A coated shell-less cooked egg product comprising:
- a shell-less cooked egg product;
- a strip encircling at least 50% of a circumference of the egg product, the egg product having a first end and a second end;
- and,
- a coating enclosing:
- (i) substantially all of a surface area of the egg product and
- (ii) at least 75% of the strip and as much as 100% of the strip, wherein at least a first end of the strip extends away from the egg product so the first end of the strip can be grasped to assist in removal of the coating from the egg product during a peeling phase.
A coated shell-less cooked egg product comprising:
- a shell-less cooked egg product;
- a strip encircling at least 50% of a longitudinal circumference comprising a first end a second end of the egg product;
- and,
- a coating enclosing:
- (i) substantially all of a surface area of the egg product and
- (ii) at least 75% of the strip and as much as 100% of the strip, wherein at least a first end of the strip extends away from the egg product so the first end of the strip can be grasped to assist in removal of the coating from the egg product during a peeling phase;
- and,
- the coating comprises a first coating layer and a second coating layer wherein the first coating layer encloses:
- (i) the first end of the egg and at least 50% of the surface area of the egg and
- (ii) at least 50% to less than 100% of the strip.
A coated shell-less cooked egg product comprising:
- a shell-less cooked egg product;
- a strip encircling at least 50% of a circumference of the egg product, the egg product having a first end and a second end and a surface of the egg product is resilient;
- a coating enclosing:
- (i) substantially all of a surface area of the egg product and
- (ii) at least 75% of the strip and as much as 100% of the strip, wherein at least a first end of the strip extends away from the egg product so the first end of the strip can be grasped to assist in removal of the coating from the egg product during a removal peeling;
- and,
- a salt and an acetic acid added to at least the surface of the egg product.
A coated shell-less cooked egg product comprising:
- a shell-less cooked egg product;
- a strip encircling at least 50% and less than 100% of a circumference of the egg product, the egg product having a first end and a second end;
- a coating enclosing:
- (i) substantially all of a surface area of the egg product and
- (ii) at least 75% of the strip and as much as 100% of the strip, wherein at least a first end of the strip extends away from the egg product so the first end of the strip can be grasped to assist in removal of the coating from the egg product during a peeling phase;
- the coating comprises a first coating layer and a second coating layer wherein the first coating layer encloses:
- (i) the first end of the egg and at least 50% of the surface area of the egg and
- (ii) at least 50% to less than 100% of the strip;
- the second coating layer encloses:
- (i) between 10% and 90% of a surface area of the first coating layer including the second end of the egg and
- (ii) substantially all of the strip that is not enclosed by the first coating layer;
