Heat 1″ water in pot with steamer basket. When it is boiling, add the eggs, cover, and wait for 12-13 minutes. Pop into icewater for 15. Perfect every time.
Interesting, but not energy efficient unless you are using the oven for something else as well. Steam for 15 minutes, also makes for easier peeling. Btw, a dozen eggs has nearly tripled in price.
Everybody say “Thanks, Joe!”
As has everything else Sandy.
I currently still boil them. I like your method out of the options. Don’t have an instapot. Fresh eggs need that ice bath or fridge time to improve peeling without mangling the good stuff.
Get some chickens and a coup. Feed bag currently 12 bucks, about 3 weeks worth on 10 hens. No roosters they crow at all hours not just in the morning and neighbors and/or wife may complain. 8-12 months before they produce. I started on an funny experience and a whim. Scratch feed production is steady till winter. 15percent protein feed triples production and increases egg size.
I had a flock of chickens for five years Bear Claw. Raised them from peeps, and the girls hatched some eggs and added to the flock. They would sit in my lap and eat out of my hand. And the rooster was a big beautiful boy. One afternoon, something got into the fenced chicken yard and wiped out my whole flock except the rooster. Sad day. Too many predators around here.
Yes, the eggs go from the steamer into an ice bath.
I get it. Found a dead one in my pen area this week and it is not open to the outside. No idea. Rhode Island reds for me. Roosters are one of the prettiest birds. I keep one around occasionally to irritate my wife. then have it for dinner.
Pressure cook them in an Instapot for 5 or 6 minutes, rest for 5 then release. Put in ice bath 10 minutes
I second this!!! THIS.METHOD.WORKS!!!
Pressure-cook for 5 minutes. When the timer beeps, let stand for five more minutes. Release the steam and move the eggs to an ice or cold water bath until cooled.
For those of you who want to hard boil fresh eggs, which are delicious but notoriously hard to peel, I can tell you from personal experience the fresh eggs will almost peel themselves!!!
I just use a pressure cooker. Done in around 7 minutes and also very easy to peel.
After boiling and cooling with cold water, crack up the shell all the way around the egg by tapping against a hard surface. Make sure to remove a bit of the membrane on the end with the air bubble. Place the eggs into a cold water bath. Let sit for 10 minutes. Removing the piece of membrane allows the water to get between the white and the membrane helping it to release more easily, making it easier to peel without damage.
tried tonight. honestly found no advantage to grandmas’ way. may try the others above.
My secret to easy peeling HB eggs: use a soup spoon to gently slip COLD eggs into BOILING water. 10 to 12 minutes (we’re at 5000 ft. altitude, so our water boils somewhat cooler than 212′). I then rinse off the hot water with the cold tap and let them cool a bit then into the fridge. No objection at all to any other methods, but this works for me.
Instapot. Ice bath afterwards. The fresher the egg the easier the peel.
I put mine in a steam tray and steam them in a sauce pan, covered. I then cool them and they peel effortlessly.
Do you have to preheat the oven?
