I began using the steaming method a few months ago after seeing it on ATK. What a gamechanger, for botn soft and hardcooked. But I use 13.5 minutes, and you don't need the ice water, just room temperature works fine. For deviled eggs, I mix all the ingredients into the mayo and *then* add to yolks and mix. It's a better way of getting even distribution.
All my son wants for his birthday, (besides Dad's smoked ribs😏), is Deviled Eggs. I've watched about 20 or more videos, and this is the most thorough step-by-step instructional I've seen. I sometimes get eggs that peel and some that don't🤷🏿♂️. But I feel confident that I can pull this off. Thank you🧑🏿🍳🙌🏿😎
Been steaming my eggs for years, with steamer and pressure cooker and I'll never go back to boiling. Love the shake in the ice bath to peel! Will try the recipe. Thank you
I'm from Camarillo California, I now live in Oregon, first time I boiled eggs they came out horrible, I couldn't get them perfect, until I cooked them like you did.Now that's the only way to steam them. Thankyou.
Okay, I like the steaming method, I tried it, it works, and the eggs peel very easily as long as you do put them in an ice bath. I find that gently rolling them and then using a spoon helps the peel come right off. The fixin's - my Mother used plain yellow mustard, which is fine if you don't have the dijon on the shelf. I don't like curry powder eggs, so instead I use paprika and a little turmeric. And if one does not have fresh parsley on hand, dried tarragon is good, or chives. I have never used lemon juice in deviled eggs, maybe I'll try it. Mom always made them with a little sweet pickle relish. I sometimes just use a teaspoon of the pickle juice.
Really enjoyed watching this video, both ladies were very entertaining! And the technique was perfect, can’t wait to make some for my next get together!
That's how I do it ; the only difference is I use an instapot. I'm able to do 14 eggs at once it's awesome! I make a condiment bar for the deviled eggs like, chives diced jalapenos diced red peppers chopped olives chopped anchovies , diced gherkins. Bacon bits, you name it . that way people can make their own versions right there at the dinner.
Thanks for this vid, I was just about to make some deviled eggs and saw this in my feed. And much respect to Elle. Thanks for your past/present work with people in hard times in their lives. (It's also cute how your nose wiggles when you chew, lol)
i boil old eggs/new eggs/any eggs, straight from the fridge, into boiling water. the expansion/shinkage pulls the membrane away.....boil 10 minutes, then back into regular cold water, no ice needed, shake in same pan, peel.
Question: I need to make 1 dozen hard boiled eggs, do I add more water and add time to the 13 minutes? Thanks so much for sharing, I'll make some tomorrow, I just hope mine come out as great as in this video!
I use a steamer basket and do about a dozen at a time. I would say the shells slide off like a too big sweater. Easy Peasy. And I use more Dijon than mayo and add curry to them. The first time I made them was back in the 80s and they were devoured by everyone.
Do you use more water and add time to the 13 minutes? I'd like to make 1 dozen eggs but not sure of the time and water used for steaming..thanks for your answer...
@@RIODJENIRO1 geeze, it's about 3 times that I lost my reply to you. Here's my lousy video LOWER YOUR SOUND. Hope this helps. The amount of water is relevent to the size of the pot.
@@RIODJENIRO1 I've tried 4 times to post an answer... no extra water or time is needed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lB-qkX4WEaU.html
@@stevenbryant4718 the instructions didn't specify egg temperature. Supermarket or fresh eggs. The 13 minutes in a 1 inch water didn't cook the yolks thoroughly for me. Water may boil in everyone's stove @212 F degrees, but the time it reaches boiling would be different. May have solved the under cook mystery 🤔LOL 😆
They look lovely! They are a disease though. Put a plate of Deviled Eggs out and I will pop one in my mouth any time I pass by. I would add 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper and garnish with some paprika.
I watch and learn a lot on ATK but did I miss it? Do you recommend farm fresh eggs at room temp, store bought eggs at room temp, or just toss in refrigerated eggs? I am sure that makes a big difference for those that did not achieve eggs that were hard boiled and easy to peel after 15 minutes, yes? I also find if you crack the shell on the side wall of the sink (or another hard surface), from the bottom, there is usually an air pocket, which also makes the peeling easier.
My steamer basket has shorter legs (3/4" ) so my eggs would be half in the water. Is that okay? Or can I decrease the water to just below my basket? 💖🌞🌵😷
If you use less water it may all boil away too soon. If your steamer's legs are too short, try putting three inverted shot glasses or something similar in the bottom of the pot to rest the steamer on.
@@suzisaintjames Yes, that's what I think. I don't know how much difference it would make in the real world, but the temperature of the water will fluctuate; the temperature of the steam is always going to be 212°F/100°C at sea level unless one is using a pressure cooker. Also, raising the basket out of the water is good for steaming vegetables, fish, etc. because if they're partially submerged, flavor and color can be leached out of them.
PERFECT HARDBOILED EGGS: In your pot, bring water to a rolling boil. (Enough water to cover eggs.) Gently immerse eggs in boiling water. Allow water to return to rolling boil. Set timer to 3 minutes. When timer is done, turn off burner and remove pot. Set on cooling trivet or unused burner for 15 minutes. When time is done, stop cooking process with ice water or by repeatedly running cold water in pot. Eggs should be allowed/induced to totally cool. Once cooled, eggs will peel effortlessly. Aggressively crack both ends without damaging egg. This may take practice. The shell should come right off. ENJOY!!!
I tried this method and the eggs peel a little better, but still stick. I think it is something weird with eggs in the Philippines. The other day I cracked a raw egg, the shell broke away, and the egg stayed inside. The membrane was so thick and hard I had to cut it with a knife. What are they feeding these chickens? 😎
Such a complicated way of cooking and peeling eggs, 25 minutes, I get the same result by boiling for 7 or 8 minutes, immersing in cold, tap water for 2 minutes, then peel.
Peel my immediately fresh yard eggs like that and win the prize. Folks, the older the egg, the better it'll peel. In my experience, it's the only sure-fire I can count on.
"You can find more flavor variations on our web site"... NO you can't. You'll find everything is grayed out/blocked unless you are a subscriber. BUT... several years ago hoping to learn more, I DID subscribe online but STILL could not access anything on the web site. Two emails to to ATK resulted in NO response. Very disappointing. Never again will I waste money on ATK. If I can not glean the info needed here or the PBS programs, I don't even bother with the recipe or search for an alternate source.
yeah I've had the experience. got on their mailing list but content I wanted to see only available to subscribers and it was hard to get off their mailing list
Are the eggs straight from the frig and cold or are they room temperature when put on to steam? Disposable piping bags are a lousy idea - just what we need more plastic in the garbage.
I just use a sandwich bag. Works fine. If I had used same sandwich bag for my lunch, it would have been tossed anyway. We will NEVER be rid of plastic. Recycling, reusing, up-cycling or disposing of it responsibly, are options everyone needs to consider. I have a beautiful rug made with recycled plastic bottles. No one feels "plastic" under their feet. At least it isn't floating in the ocean. Maybe we could use plastic waste as a material to repair our battered roads and infrastructure, or????? The mind reels. ✌️
1. Who keeps eggs in the fridge? 2. Deviled eggs are a thing of beauty. 3. The next level of 'deviling' is deviled kidneys AKA 'sh*t on a raft' in navy speak.
