Ok ! The Egg results are in !

Once the water came to a rolling boil....the day old farm fresh eggs were put into the strainer (Above the boiling water) then covered and Steamed for 20 minutes. And when that 20 minutes was up....the eggs were put into a cold bowl of water for 15 minutes.

.
And here are the AWESOME results ! ....

Lovely eggies, Nessy ! See those cracks already ? Looks like a great result !

EDIT.....see I knew it ! LOL

Enjoy ! Dont forget the buttah.....the secret to life

And don't forget BACON, Sharon!

Oh yes Lee !

BACON BACON BACON !!!!

Very nice , Nessmuck. Going to share that with my neighbor, I mean fresh egg supplier , I mean good neighbor....lol

His adult daughter for years has hated the fact every time she wanted hard boiled eggs for making deviled eggs or colored ones for Easter , she had to buy them at the store even though there was a huge supply at home.

Good science/cooking experiment. Kudos.

Those day old Faahm fresh eggs ...just slid right out of the shell....and thanks to ADC ..they are now resting in Claussen Pickle juice for a week.

They won't soak in clear to the center but they are pretty darn good especially if you didn't over cook them and get the green around the yolks.

Just STEAMED another batch of eggs....Holy Moly ...they peel themselves. The century old mistery has been UN- LOCKED !!!!!!!!!

That's Awesome!!!

Put a spoonful of baking soda in the water and boil them and they will peel.

good read , i will try this today

Steaming is the only way to go for fresh eggs. I use one of these---

It comes with a measuring cup for the water. You can steam anything from soft boiled eggs (my favorite) to hard boiled. Drop them in cool tap water and they'll shell really easy.
The amount of water you put in works as the timer. The unit beeps when the all of the water is steamed off. Fool proof and perfectly cooked every time!

Great looking eggs! Will try the cold water bath after steaming, too. We have just steamed our fresh eggs with poor peeling results. Going to throw in some baking soda to boot. Have a couple dozen to try. Thanks for the info!

Why waste your baking soda....LOL

Thats the way we do eggs shells come right off. For us right from fridge to the steamer for 13 min then 15min ice bath.

Gotta try that, Thanks

Why you been holding out ....all this time ?....lol

Thanks for the tip, i’m gonna try it!!

And one step off in another direction:

For excellent smoked eggs

• steam up to a dozen eggs for 11-12 minutes
• set in ice water for 10-15 minutes. Time not critical, but cool eggs completely, but don't wait until the water to come back up to room temp.
• peel. (Shells drop off like a prom dress).
• cold smoke for about 1 hour

They can be smoked at a little higher temp. Maybe 150-200 F° but only for about 20 min, or they become rubbery.

For more than a dozen eggs you need to increase the steaming time. By how much? I don't know exactly, but, I have had under cooked eggs the few times I have tried to exceed a dozen per batch.

Rex, people stick raw eggs into the smoker. 2 hours 225 degrees. I've read up on it. Haven't tried it yet.

I usually have trouble with fresh eggs.

X2.

Don't trust ADC! I mean yeah he is probably one of the most helpful guys here and tinkers around with everything until he knows what works and what doesn't but I am tellin ya- modern man's stomachs are simply not set up to properly digest the things he eats!

Don't ask me how I know the story is too gruesome to tell twice!

Sissy.

No anymore Charles.....!!!

Tried it!!

They are great if you like to eat your eggs shell and all. I think the heat converts the membrane to superglue.
