And, though I couldn't find a video on such, I was sure commercially peeled boiled eggs aren't given a cool down period.

Tidy Cord SaverYou can purchase command cord bundle strips or make your own cord solution a lot cheaper. I purchased self adhesive hooks. I placed one on the side of my smoothie blender.
