Easy Boiled Eggs (Steamed!)

By lindaauman

several months ago, a friend told me a great tip for hard-boiled eggs. The one downside to fresh eggs is how hard they are to peel. STEAM them instead. No more boiling. No more hard-to-peel eggs. No more waiting until your fresh eggs are old. No more salting the water or adding vinegar. It's easy, quick and foolproof. And here's how you do it:

Ingredients

Preparation

Step 1

Heat water to boiling in the bottom of a double boiler, vegetable steamer or bamboo steamer.

Rinse your eggs in warm water (you can use eggs you just collected that morning, if you want) and place them in the top of the steamer. Steam for 20 minutes and then plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water until they are cool enough to peel.

Roll each egg on the counter to break the shell and then crack the wide end of the egg and peel. Perfectly peeled eggs - every time !

And you won't get that grayish green rim along the yolk that results from cooking the eggs for too long and cooling them too slowly.
