Seems I have done it wrong all these years.
I read some tid bit scientific way to boil eggs.
I normally stuck them into the pan and added hot tap water (my tap water is not so hot that you can't hold your hands under it ,Tank turned down to conserve energy) and stuck them on the stove and began boiling..10 minutes boiling and then remove and drain water and add cool tap water to them and crack and peel.
I would crack many and place them back into the pan of water that is no longer cool because the warm eggs heated it up some.
I would say over 50% of the peeled eggs came out terrible..some were only fit for trash can.
So what I read and you probably know. Is that I needed to add my eggs to BOILING water and bring back to a simmer or boil.
So I also read fresh laid eggs are really difficult to get a nice peeled egg from.
Well I have chickens and only hens ..
I would resort to buying store eggs if I was to make a bunch of deviled eggs.
Now I do not need to do that.
I boiled a big pot of water..added 15 fresh laid eggs (less than a week old) I had enough water that all those refrigerated eggs did not eliminate all the boiling bubbles.
I then removed some water ..as it was 4" above my eggs.. now 1.5" above the eggs I boiled for 11 minutes.
Removed from heat and poured off the hot water and added cold tap water..Rinse 3 times while all eggs still in pot.
Then filled with cold water to 1" above eggs..took out an egg and cracked it all over and placed it back into the pot.
All 15 cracked and in water.. which is warm water now.
I remove an egg and begin to peel it.. peels really nice .Membrane is not stuck to the egg.
Peel under running water or dunk it into the pot of water to wet it again while peeling.
All 15 eggs came out perfect 100% ..I have brown and white eggs both and did not matter.
Finally eggs that are fresh and peel easy.
