My wife loves boiled eggs I may have to give this a try!
s/b Deviled? ;’)
I’ve made eggs this way for ages and they always turn out well. The secret? You need OLD eggs (at least 2 weeks) to make great hard boiled eggs. I can’t use eggs right out of my chickens because the membrane is too fresh and hasn’t separated from the inside of the shell which makes for difficult, at best, peeling. I buy grocery store eggs because they’re already at least 2 weeks old when they get to the store.
Put a dozen eggs in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for EXACTLY 11 minutes.
Put the pan in the sink and start running cold water into it, tipping the pan a bit to get the hot water out quickly, replacing it with cold. Let them sit in the cold water for a few minutes, until you can easily handle them.
Refrigerate in a bowl; peel later in the day, or as you need them.
People over-cook hardboiled eggs; that’s what gives you the icky gray ring around the yolk. :(
Two things I do religiously each week: Roast a chicken from my local Amish guy and make hard boiled eggs for egg salad and/or deviled eggs. :)
