to cook eggs that are easy to peel:

leave eggs out to get room temperature.
boil water.
add eggs
boil 5 min
let sit 5 min
replace hot water with cold and let sit 5 min
I use this method and it works every time and the yolks are done exactly perfect.

I was planning on making deviled eggs either tonight or tomorrow.

>older eggs peel the easiest
no that is not true.

cold water in the pot
teaspoon of baking soda, add eggs
let eggs heat up with the water. when the water starts really boiling (rolling boil) turn off the heat but leave the pot on the hot stove

replace water with cold water after it has settled, usually 3 minutes

top with half a 'chovie or some cheap caviar (monk fish) and you got some hot cuisine, mon amie
or a sliver of smoked Aldi salmon and a sprinkle of dried dill - very good

None of these have anything to do with easy to peel eggs.

Old.

Eggs.

That's it. That's the only thing that will make an egg easier to peel.
t. been making eggs for 45 years.

It is 99% the ice bath, bro. Yes older eggs peel slightly easier. But if you want perfect eggs you need the ice.

I used to doubt this just like you. Im not wasting ice. Ill just run them under tap water. Yea I have been there. And yea, i still do it just for my own 4 eggs.

But when you actually make an ice bath and throw those dozen hot nuggets in you will see. It is the ice.

god fuck my life I still have not made those fucking deviled eggs

Old eggs will peel more easily, but how you cook them does matter. Starting the eggs in cold water makes the shell stick more for some reason, but if you boil the water first then drop them in it'll peel cleanly. Used to be 90% of the eggs I boiled would have the shell sticking with starting them in cold water, but boiling the water first and 90% peel cleanly instead.

>Starting the eggs in cold water makes the shell stick more for some reason,
I will buy that anon. I use cold water as a sure fire way to make sure the egg is cooked exactly.

One note for those using the 'start in cold water' method:

This changes above sea level. AT 5000', you're going to get some under-done eggs if you bring to a boil, cover and remove for 9 minutes as I do for my preferred yolk. You might get a running egg in Denver doing this, don't know. But water boils faster and lower temp.

Don't forget your celery seeds (not celery salt) and remember a little goes a long way.

I do as well but I will be making them on the 4th

Baste but I used smoked paprika for a little extra southern flavor
