Deviled Eggs....ummmmm good. They’re a gas!!
While I am by no means a chef, my daughter told me that using an air fryer to make hard cooked eggs is a winning strategy. I’ve tried it an agree. I’ve become quite a fan of my air fryer for many things.
I start mine in cold...and no problem. Run them under cold water as you peel.
Having raised my own eggs, older eggs are much easier to peel than fresh eggs. 2 weeks is about right.
I don’t know if can trust this, is this “science”?
I steam mine in a pressure cooker. They practically peel themselves.
I found that the fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel.
I’ve seen nearly heating technique short of barbeque grill and deep fryer being claimed as the one secret to perfect eggs. There are dozens of techniques, some may work more consistently, but really if you have one that works, just stick with it.
I’ve never heard anyone claim you shock an egg to make it easier to peel... you shock an egg to stop the cooking process so they don’t overcook and you don’t wind up with those lovely green coated yolks that will turn your farts into chemical warfare.
They are darned good quartered on a lettuce, onion, cucumber, cheese and bacon salad with Western Dressing. And then there’s egg salad sandwiches, and potato salad.
I actually very much enjoy hard boiled eggs. It’s simple and easy, filling, nutritious, and 100% Keto-friendly. Boil a dozen and stick ‘em in the fridge. Eat whenever you’re hungry.
I do have difficulty peeling the shells though. End up tearing half the whites off. Someone told me it is better to boil “old eggs” as the shells peel off easier due to decay of that film between the shell and the egg. I don’t know if that is true because I never really check the expiration date of eggs.
I did do a taste test between brown eggs and white eggs. Sorry white people, brown eggs taste better when hard boiled.
I like hard boiled eggs, and prefer to take one or two with me (in shell) on a hike rather than gross protein bars. And the forest floor doesn’t seem to mind me littering the shells around. And even if it does, I don’t care.
That reminds me, I need to buy a few dozen eggs as I no longer have chickens, for some Pickled eggs.

Has anyone here ever eaten Turkey eggs?
I haven’t, but would like to get hold of some and experiment. I’ll bet even the eggs will have a Turkey essence of flavor.
Dropping eggs in boiling water is a great way to rupture the shells and make a mess.
Not hard boiling fresh eggs but let them sit in the refrig a few days works for me.
Well there is Egg Salad.
Nice and portable.
husband refused to eat them unless they are deviled.
And then..... the carnage... the horror. I swear he can eat all 24 in under two minutes.
