I agree, never had such easy to peel eggs.

The worst part of serving deviled eggs for a group on Easter is the peeling of same IMO.  Does anyone peel their eggs the day before so they can toss the shells, clean up the mess, and then refrigerate the peeled eggs in frig overnight to cut and stuff on Easter?  Would think this would be ok but hoping others have ideas.  Thks!!

@just wonder.  5 min in a pressure cooker with 1 C water and they'll all come out perfect....I promise.

@spumoni99  The Instant Pot is the BEST way to cook hard boiled eggs. Since mine broke, I do the next best thing and steam them in a pasta pot with an insert.

If your eggs leak egg white into the water, just add a drop of vinegar.

Sorry!  Use the method I just posted.  Extremely easy and non fail!

Steamed eggs will peel easily.  Whether you steam them in a pot on top of the stove, in an egg cooker, or a pressure cooker--steam them and they will peel easily.

Lots of instructions from reliable sources can be found if you do a search.  No need ever to struggle peeling eggs.

@just wonder - you can totally do this.  I hard cook a bunch of eggs every week in my Instant Pot, shock them in ice water, and the shell slips right off.  I keep the peeled eggs in a half gallon mason jar of water that I splash a small amount of white vinegar into.  The vinegar doesn't affect the eggs as long as you don't overdo it.  I literally turn the bottle down and immediately right back up again.  Be aware that your eggs will smell when you open the jar the next day but the flavor will be fine.  

Store in the refrigerator, of course, until you're ready to use them.

Yeah, it's when trying to boil and peel immediately is where I run into trouble too.  Like the others said, boiling the day before is much easier. 🐣 🥚

You're going to LOVE this fool proof method!

To boil easy to peel new or older eggs, put your eggs in a colander or basket with holes.

Bring water to full boil, submerge eggs.

Prepare half your sink or another large pan with ice water.

After eggs boil 15 minutes, plunge colendar into ice water bath; leave about 15 minutes.

Roll each egg on the counter pressing down slightly.

I make deviled eggs right after they're cooked.  Flavors mix much better when things are warm, not cold.

That's a great tip, thank you.😊💝🌸

I also think the ingredients mix a lot better when they're still warm too.  I actually prefer to eat them still warm.  Yum!

I always hard boil, peel, and then refrigeate the whole eggs for hubby to eat for a couple of days. Just make sure the eggs are at room temperature when you put them in the refrigerator and always cover the bowl you store them in. They're fine to make your deviled eggs the next day....I do this often, and it's a lot easier.

I wonder why that is?  I will never boil another egg!  Just curious why they peel so easy when they are steamed?
