You may have seen my desperate Facebook plea for help with boiling eggs–a basic domestic skill that I have yet to master! It’s no problem to cook them, but I could never peel the eggs without destroying the whites.
Today I managed to make boiled eggs that I peeled without a problem, so I was able to make these beautiful deviled eggs with my unscarred egg whites.
I was so excited that I had to take a photo for you. Thanks for all of your helpful suggestions!
After you boil the egg, and they are done, put in a bowl of water with ice and then let sit for a few minutes and just peel.
Thanks Jacqueline!
So….I missed it? What was the trick? I have 40 laying hens and I would make lots of deviled eggs, but the fresher the egg, the harde they are to peel!!
The number one trick was to use older eggs. I set the timer for 15 minutes and then turned on the stove. I drained them at the end of 15 minutes and peeled them while running a little cold water over them. Worked like a charm!
