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.
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
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🧑🏿🍳🙌🏿😎
Instant Pot is the best way I’ve found for boiling eggs. They peel perfectly every time. P.S if you can try smoking them with Cherry wood just after peeling then make you stuffing.
I will never do them another way than the Instant Pot. They peel like butter. Guess I'm old school filling them, I use the 2 spoon method. Sorry to say you theirs look under filled to me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
@@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 😆
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!
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!!!
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 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.
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.
steaming works 99.9% of the time, nothing is 100%. I do tell everyone about this method though. cannot stand green in boiled eggs... these looked like they needed way more mayo and mustard, too dry looking. who here after using a piping bag (sandwich bag) to spread the joy, cut it open and scrape out any remaining egg?!?!
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? 😎
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.
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. ✌️
Hey, do you want to eat 10 hard-boiled eggs?
No, but I’ll eat 20 deviled eggs.

I can attest to is egg cooking method. First time I’ve ever had fool proof way peel eggs!!!
Instant pot for 5 mins, then a natural release for 5, then cover with ice until cold. Shells peel right off.
OH YAY! Elle's smile makes my day...
This was the perfect video. Thank you! Finally someone who knows that we come here for the POINT, not a big intro or a lot of commentary.

I've been putting curry in my deviled eggs for 40 years. It's the only way my family likes them!
I’m hungry 🤤
I just learned a better way to boil eggs. I skip the curry powder and substitute habanero powder. Excellent!
Curry powder to boil eggs?
This truly works! Thank you sooo much for sharing this wonderful secret to perfect boiled eggs 😀😀😀
Going to try the steaming method and after reading comments, I'll try the Insta pot.
Thank you for giving me the information on perfectly peeling eggs. And, I cannot wait to try the curry deviled egg recipe.
I love Curried Devil Eggs. I found a recipe by Kelsey Nixon and it's the only deviled eggs I've been making for a number of years.
I tried this method of cooking the eggs and they peeled like a dream. ☺️
Were the eggs at room temp or straight from fridge?
I had the same question. I have all the ingredients on hand so I'm gonna test this out!
It works straight out of the fridge. Have been steaming my eggs for a few years now, and it is a game changer.
But do eggs from the fridge increase the steaming time?
@@fpmickable no, I steam mine for 13 minutes and they come out perfect. Just add another minute if you're worried.
Did she just say "it's a little eggrovating" 🤔 🥚 😁
Julia's dad joke
always the best!
I’ve mixed my egg yolks with avocado. Delicious.
For years, deviled eggs made with mayo disgusted me.
I started using avocado a couple weeks ago and now I'm addicted. 😋
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'm happy I have all to ingredients for this. Too bad I wasn't invited to a.party
I love,must try this cooking method...👍👍
I love my instant pot for doing eggs , I load it up and do huge batches now and they peel so nice.
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.
Instant Pot is the best way. It's the only way I will hard boil my eggs now.
BBW chefs ♥♥♥
Mmmm 😋
I bought the same steamer basket and cooked the eggs for 13 minutes and they came out soft boiled!
was the water boiling when you started. how big were the eggs. how cold were the eggs

Lovely.
Those deviled eggs look great can t wait to try them and made the dream scones a true dream thanks so much guys
I suggest tap the round egg bottoms and let them rest in cool water for 2-3 mins. then peel easily.
This looks like a great recipe! Going to make it today.
Great video! Cannot wait to try this trick
I'm going to give it a try right now. Thanks
Yes, It's Elle 💓

I'm going to try those seasonings in my egg salad, too.
Yum
I really wish I had watched this prior to making deviled eggs at 2:46am. Dang I want the curry
This should be titled seasoned deviled eggs. I almost didn’t watch it because I don’t like curry, yet it explains how to get perfect hard boiled eggs.
I make curried deviled eggs but I garnish with sliced green olive
Will try steaming.
Good for keto.
Adding curry powder to egg salad is also delicious.

SMART! 🤓🥚 And Yummy 😋
I like Julia's longer hair in recent videos. It's really flattering.
.....mmmmmmm curry......and hb eggs......mmmmmmm!
We eat Cilantro by the pound out here in California, I wonder if that would taste great in place of the parsley?...
We do a dozen and a half at a time. Would you increase the steaming time? When my husband makes to be taken somewhere, we rarely bring any back home.
Nice
Needed this 💃💃
Why didn't she use the steamer basket to take the eggs out?? Lol! Lady you had ONE JOB! Make boiled eggs easy as possible! 🤣🤣 I'm teasing!
Cold or room temperature eggs?
some foie gras or pate mixed with the yolks and you'll have the best deviled egg everrrrr
I find the rolling breaking the shell all around, the shell falls off. I like this steam method.
Room temp, or straight from refrigerator for thirteen minutes? Does it matter?
no
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? 💖🌞🌵😷

Tested the boiling eggs on an electric stove top … cooking time is diff. Also the pot is used makes a diff.
My problem is when the yolk is all the way down to the wide side of the egg. Any solution?
Seriously, I've been doing HB eggs wrong forever. Easiest perfect HB eggs ... peels fell off... THANKS

Have to down load a trial recipe. Trial membership.
Boil for 10 mins and run through cold water for 2-3 mins (must be fresh eggs though).

Does anyone use sweet salad cubes in their devil eggs?
insta-pot with basket.....4 min release and straight into a ice bath
and ditto on the curry DebPac.....for years
Best way to peek is with a spoon
I like hot hard cooked eggs!!!
I almost didn't recognize the host without the popped collar.

Clearly not as the dialog was stilted and there was no chemistry, I hope they become friends and interact better in future videos.
Wow, no salt and pepper
She was skimpy on the filling as far as I'm concerned
I completely agree. Pile in the filling.
It sounded great, but my eggs were only soft-boiled after the full 13 minutes.
