Reviews
Wonderful. Room temperature eggs work best.
Works very well. The essential factors are room-temperature eggs and having the water at temperature BEFORE putting the eggs in the steam.
Wow!!! I was skeptical but it worked just as written. There wasn’t a single mark on any of the eggs. Wish I could give it 10 stars!
Never had EVERY egg peal perfectly before. Will be really impressed if it happens again next time!
No, They always come out perfect !!
Thank you for this recipe! The eggs turn out perfect every time!
This recipe is perfect. Cracking the shell after cooling and returning it the cold water bath allows the shell to be removed cleanly.
This really does work! I’ve been using this technique for some time now with great success. One tip: if you use brown eggs, you can see even the small fragments of shell that might stick to your fingers and get transferred into whatever you are making with the boiled eggs.
Last night I went to make pickled eggs and did it the traditional way – boiling directly in hot water, putting in cold bath, then peeling – it was a disaster. Tried it this way today and it worked out like a champ!! This was the same exact batch of eggs!! Super easy to peel.
My eggs were under done! Not a good recipe unless you like soft eggs.
I’ve been making hard boiled eggs for over 50 years. I’ve been doing it wrong for 1/2 century. This is it. Steamed. Who knew?
Epic fail, eggs were only cooked outside (whites) yolk raw.
Works perfectly
perfect
unfortunately this was a fail for me. the only thing i know that makes eggs easier to peel is when they’ve been sitting around for a while. i bought my eggs last weekend.
I’ve tried every method to “hard boil” fresh eggs. This is the BEST. I found I have to steam mine for 20-25 minutes before subjecting them to the ice bath. 15 minutes was too short for 1 day old eggs, the shell still stuck to the egg. I am so happy about this because deviled eggs are competition in my family.
By far the best method ever. The crack before ice water bath is very important .
I would give this 10 stars if I could! Easy, quick and PERFECT! This will be my only method for hard cooked eggs from now on.
I steam 6 dozen eggs every 2 weeks (and more at Easter) for church coffee hour. I use this basic process and have for more years than I can count. I have engineered a 3 layer steamer insert for my pasta pot for 3 dozen at a time and have recently purchased an Asian dumpling steamer that lets me cook all 6 dozen. I do NOT fill the pot with a lot of water, just a few inches so that it can boil/simmer (and steam) for 25 – 30 minutes without boiling dry. That is the key…because there is so much volume, I give the eggs more time. I can (and have to) cook with fresh eggs every week and 99.9 % of my eggs come out perfectly. They are a HUGE hit at church.
I made this recipe to use for deviled eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but the shell stuck like glue. I made 2 batches totaling 24 eggs and only 1 egg peeled without ripping. I will go back to my old way.
This method worked fine for me. Although, I didn’t think it was any better than the method I usually use. Most of the eggs were very easy to peel, but I had just a couple spots that stuck slightly. That’s usually the same results with my other method. I think the biggest key to easy to peel eggs is not letting them boil the whole time.
