how to perfectly hard boil eggs

A sometimes challenging step when preparing deviled eggs is making hard boiled eggs that peel easily. From my experience, older eggs make for better hard boiled eggs. The egg white shrinks as the eggs get older and there is more air between the shell and the membrane. Older eggs are consistently easier to peel. Use ones that have been in the refrigerator for about a week or so for hard boiling.

Follow these steps for perfectly hard boiled eggs

• Put 6 eggs in a medium sized pot
• Add cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch
• Place pot over high heat
• Bring the water to a boil
• Shut the heat off and cover pot
• Set timer for 14 minutes
• After the 14 minutes, drain the water from the pot
• Place the eggs in a bowl of cold water
• Set bowl aside for about 10 minutes
• Drain the water from the bowl and peel the eggs

chef cooking tips for making deviled eggs

• Make sure to chill the hard boiled eggs before preparing the recipe.
• A sharp chef's knife is best for slicing the eggs in half lengthwise. A dull knife will push down and smush the eggs.
• Measure out your ingredients in advance. This makes prep of the deviled eggs a breeze. I love, love, love my set of stacking glass bowls for jobs like this. I use them for EVERYTHING! They are perfect for holding anything from tiny amounts of spices to big batch of mashed potatoes for cheesy stuffed potato skins.
• Mash the egg yolks until they are very small pieces. This ensures a super creamy filling.
• Use the dill pickle juice from the pickle jar to add lots of dilly flavor to the deviled eggs.
• Use a small sandwich sized baggie for filling the egg white halves. Fold over the top of the bag so the seal doesn't get messy. Put the deviled mixture into the bag and seal it. Use scissors to trim about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the corner of the baggie. Then just squeeze the filling into the egg white halves. I've included my step by step process for for filling the egg white halves in my cooking video below.
