Hey, do you want to eat 10 hard-boiled eggs?

No, but I’ll eat 20 deviled eggs.

I began using the steaming method a few months ago after seeing it on ATK. What a gamechanger, for botn soft and hardcooked.

But I use 13.5 minutes, and you don't need the ice water, just room temperature works fine.

For deviled eggs, I mix all the ingredients into the mayo and *then* add to yolks and mix. It's a better way of getting even distribution.

Been steaming my eggs for years, with steamer and pressure cooker and I'll never go back to boiling.
Love the shake in the ice bath to peel!
Will try the recipe. Thank you

All my son wants for his birthday, (besides Dad's smoked ribs😏), is Deviled Eggs. I've watched about 20 or more videos, and this is the most thorough step-by-step instructional I've seen. I sometimes get eggs that peel and some that don't🤷🏿‍♂️. But I feel confident that I can pull this off.
Thank you🧑🏿‍🍳🙌🏿😎

Instant Pot is the best way I’ve found for boiling eggs. They peel perfectly every time. P.S if you can try smoking them with Cherry wood just after peeling then make you stuffing.

Okay, I like the steaming method, I tried it, it works, and the eggs peel very easily as long as you do put them in an ice bath. I find that gently rolling them and then using a spoon helps the peel come right off. The fixin's - my Mother used plain yellow mustard, which is fine if you don't have the dijon on the shelf. I don't like curry powder eggs, so instead I use paprika and a little turmeric. And if one does not have fresh parsley on hand, dried tarragon is good, or chives. I have never used lemon juice in deviled eggs, maybe I'll try it. Mom always made them with a little sweet pickle relish. I sometimes just use a teaspoon of the pickle juice.

I'm from Camarillo California, I now live in Oregon, first time I boiled eggs they came out horrible, I couldn't get them perfect, until I cooked them like you did.Now that's the only way to steam them. Thankyou.

I can attest to is egg cooking method. First time I’ve ever had fool proof way peel eggs!!!

[bashhalow]

This was the perfect video. Thank you! Finally someone who knows that we come here for the POINT, not a big intro or a lot of commentary.

i boil old eggs/new eggs/any eggs, straight from the fridge, into boiling water. the expansion/shinkage pulls the membrane 10 minutes, then back into regular cold water, no ice needed, shake in same pan, peel.

OH YAY! Elle's smile makes my day...

Instant pot for 5 mins, then a natural release for 5, then cover with ice until cold. Shells peel right off.

[williamdrake]

That's how I do it ; the only difference is I use an instapot. I'm able to do 14 eggs at once it's awesome! I make a condiment bar for the deviled eggs like, chives diced jalapenos diced red peppers chopped olives chopped anchovies, diced gherkins. Bacon bits, you name it . that way people can make their own versions right there at the dinner.

[debpaciello]

I've been putting curry in my deviled eggs for 40 years. It's the only way my family likes them!

[lindastordahl]

This truly works! Thank you sooo much for sharing this wonderful secret to perfect boiled eggs 😀😀😀

[lyndakillingsworth]

Thank you for giving me the information on perfectly peeling eggs. And, I cannot wait to try the curry deviled egg recipe.

[laurreneberry]

Going to try the steaming method and after reading comments, I'll try the Insta pot.

[jusssayin]

I love Curried Devil Eggs. I found a recipe by Kelsey Nixon and it's the only deviled eggs I've been making for a number of years.

I just learned a better way to boil eggs. I skip the curry powder and substitute habanero powder. Excellent!
