Pepin is the master of technique.

I take everything he says regarding food as Gospel.

I make a dozen pickled eggs occasionally. Just made a jug in fact. I'll try this method ont he next batch! Thanks for posting it ... also like to listen to pepin while he's cooking.;^)

Outstanding.

I'll have to give it a go.

I can’t imagine piercing the end of an egg without is breaking in my hand but he makes it sound so good I have to try it anyway.

Well, I had been thinking about making deviled eggs the last few days, so now I guess I need to make them tonight and try this boiling technique.

I'll report back on my results. If I'm really feeling energetic, I might try them my old way also to compare the results.

[Migraine]

I don’t eat eggs except very seldom; but I’m glad when others do, because then I can fart and nobody notices.

[Kimmers]

Thank you I will be trying this method.....and thank you for answering my question about that blue thing.....

[the lastbestlady]

I don’t have the color show up outside the yolk. I have never pierced them. I wonder what the difference is?

[unkus]

I usually put the eggs in warm water until ready to add them to the boiling water so they don’t crack. Will the pin hole solve that?

[hoe_cake]

My grocery list:

1 dozen eggs
1 thump tack

[b4its2late]

I have been making them like that except for the pin holes. They do come out nice with the ice water and they peel easily.

This works! Learned it from the Frugal Gourmet maybe 20 years ago.

I actually have an “egg cooker” appliance that has a “hole puncher” on it to poke the hole in the egg before turning it on. I could never get a decent egg hard boiled, so I bought the appliance at a resale store and it’s worked great. But doing the boiling water routine with these instructions saves alot of space in my cabinets. Thanks!
