I just did a batch last night. First I used the egg pricker to put a tiny hole in the large end of the egg. This keeps them from cracking and leaking from the shell. Steamed in my steamer on stovetop. When done, about 15-20 minutes, I put them in a smaller pot and shook it around to put cracks in the shells. Filled with cold water to cool off. Peeled so easy I will do them this way from now on.

I put eggs in cold water, bring to a boil until hard boiled, then drain and fill with cold water. I've never had problems peeling them. IMO, 15-20 minutes seems long but then I boil not steam the eggs. DH loves egg salad sandwiches 🙂

-- BigDog, To E-mail me, you know what to do.
When I did my steaming test batch, I didn't even shake the eggs around to crack the shells, and the egg shells still came off in large pieces. I stored them in the fridge with uncracked shells and the peels still fell away several days later. Thanks for the report on timing. Janet
I wonder how many times this topic has been brought up on rfc? I'm not objecting, there are probably readers who learn from it each time if the lurking audience out there swirls around and comes and goes the way I suspect it does. What do you suppose are the other most-repeated topics? Tipping, and the behavior of other people's children in public, for sure, but which ones as to cooking itself--both recipes and techniques?

Didn't I have a good Idea?...well in 50 years you gotta get it right at least once.

Yes you did. I've already shared the idea with many friends. What really makes it a good idea is that it is so simple. Thanks again. Janet
