However, deviled eggs are almost like crack to me.

That is the way he is. If I am fixing deviled eggs for the family reunion I have to make two batches so I have enough.

Have you tried them with a touch of curry? So good.

I would assume you could boil an egg in boiling oil. I wouldn’t eat it afterward, but it would be a boiled egg.

5W-30, 10W-30, or synthetic?

I have a little device (no clue where it came from) that pierces a hole in the top of the egg shell with a needle before you boil it. That along with rinsing with cold water works well.

I did an internet search and could not find it--looks like a small cup with a needle sticking up. Here's a pic of someone using a tack to do the same thing:

Reminds me of the current generation that mock their parents for not understanding/embracing modern technologies, YET have to Google how to cook an egg.

I tried steaming a few weeks ago and loved it. I think the reason is moisture ‘sweats’ out, necessarily causing air to replace it, conferring an ‘aging’ process in minutes instead of weeks. The jar thing is new, can’t believe I’ve never heard of it. Thanks.

The boiling method doesn’t matter too much (put the eggs into cold or boiling water, as you prefer), but two things that do seem to make a difference are:
1. Use eggs that have been in the fridge for a week or two.
2. Put the eggs into ice water as soon as they are cooked, and peel them when they are cool enough to handle. If you store them in the shell, they’ll probably peel badly.

These don’t guarantee perfect eggs, but they’ll help your chances. Eggshells are definitely thinner on commercial eggs than they used to be, and that seems to be associated somehow with difficult peeling. Too many of my boiled eggs nowadays look as though rats had gnawed them.

And if you’re ever tempted to get one of those air-pressure egg peelers, don’t. My wife brought one home last year, so I boiled up a dozen eggs. One of the first five through the gadget came out reasonably intact; the others were destroyed (as in exploded). Into the trash went the miracle device.

I had the same problem until I researched ‘how make hard-boiled eggs’ and followed the instructions. As, for example:

In other news, 1 in 5 Britons are Muslim. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Quit boiling your eggs. Cook them in an oven. My S-I-L told me about this, so I tried it. Worked out great. Yesterday I cooked 12 eggs in the oven and the shells came off very easily. There will be a brown spot where the eggs touched the side of the muffin pan, but now I use a silicone muffin pan and the problem is solved.

You do not have to fill the muffin pan, cook as many eggs as you need.

I’m guessing that the way to boil an egg is to put it in boiling water.

Nope.

Put the eggs in COLD water. Make sure they are well covered. Bring water to a hard boil. Turn off heat, cover pot for 10 minutes. Move eggs to a bowl of cold water for a minute. Remove and shell.

Why boil an egg when you can fry it in butter?

We may be mis-interpreting this entirely, anyway. Don’t the English poach their eggs and eat them in the shell from a cup? I’ve seen raging wars on how easy it is to screw up poached-in-the-shell breakfast eggs.

Muzzies eat scrambled eggs. They enjoy beating them into submission before cooking them.
