LIke it has been said, about 20 minutes for steaming. If they seem over done, do it a few minutes less next time. If not done enough, add a few minutes.
Great Question! I have the same problem and I too buy "store eggs" for deviled which is silly when I have a fridge full of fresh eggs! Please let us all know what works best as I have tried it all too! Best of luck Alicia
Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves,for they shall never cease to be amused:)
OK as yucky as it sounds... I had to let the eggs from my hens age about 6 weeks in the fridge before I got the to hard boil and peel properly. I've tried different cooking times and methods and this was the only thing that worked. Given how old grocery store eggs are, I know see why they ALWAYS hard boil well. :)
I put my eggs in a pan and fill with cold water about 1/2 way up the side of the eggs. I then pour in enough white vinegar to cover the eggs and bring them to a boil and then turn off the burner, let them sit for 8 - 10 minutes. I rinse them off with cool water but peel them while they are still warm and this is the best method I've found and use so far. That ends up to being quite a bit of vinegar, not just a little 'cause a little doesn't work for me. I'll be trying the steam method and see how that works.
Isn't it pretty gross how "old" store bought eggs already are!?!
Funny how one of my egg customers always asks if my eggs are "fresh".
Well, isn't less than 24 hours old fresh enough??? Short of standing there as the hens lay, which BTW has happened on a rare occasion. Fresh and less than a minute old. You can't beat that!
