put a little oil on your hands, wipe over all eggs. lower into already boiling water. low boil 10-13 minutes. (to your liking). remove from pot and into ice water bath. When cool the shells will come right off. Been doing this 5 years and never once had a stuck shell!!

I have a trick for easy peeling eggs. Bring salted water to a boil and with a slotted spoon gently slip eggs into the boiling water. Cook for 13 minutes . Remove from heat into the sink and drain as much hot water as possible and run cold water over them and add ice until the water is super cold. Let sit for 10 minutes or so and then crack while running under cold water and shells slip right off.

This is my go to deviled eggs recipe. I use dill pickle juice instead of sweet. Then I top with bacon and pickled jalapeños. So delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

I use organic range free and the membranes are quite thick. I use your method to cook, but I also found with thick membrane eggs, you must open them on the larger round side because there is a little more room at the end. Once they are started there, they are much easier to do the rest of the egg.

If you have an instapot, give it a try. Remember 5-5-5, 5 minutes pressure cook, 5 minutes sit then quick release, 5 minutes ice cold bath. Perfectly cooked eggs, and easy to peel.

Fabulous recipe, I too raise chickens and tried what I thought to be every method of boiling eggs! Methods that I’d used for years with store bought eggs did NOT work on my fresh eggs. Then I came across a microwave egg cooker at a thrift store called an EggPod and figured I had nothing to lose. It works FLAWLESSLY! Steam is the key to “boiling” fresh eggs. I don’t pierce them, and they cook in 10 minutes. there are also similar ones that you plug in that work just as well. Game changer for sure!

This is the same recipe I use. To boil fresh eggs you have to steam them. It takes longer but you are able to peal them with a lot less waste if hardly any at all. Also poking a hole in the top of
an egg while in the carton then placing it in a pot of Boiling water cover an let boil for 10 minutes then run under cold water until cooled then peal

Hi Kathy! The pickle juice is really for flavor here. If you don’t want to add it, you could leave it out. 🙂

I just made these and they are perfect! I used my dash egg cooker and the eggs were easy to peel too! Easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing!

Yes, the instant pot makes great eggs, so very easy to peel and you need add nothing to the water. We like the classic recipe with mayo, mustard, vinegar, and add deviled ham and a little sour cream. A sprinkle of smoked paprika for the top.

These look delish! I’m not a pickle fan so what would a good substitute for relish juice? I was thinking a little cider vinegar? The butter idea sounds like a good plan.

I bought an Instapot for regular cooking but decided to try it for boiling eggs. Life changing!!! I would hardy ever make deviled eggs because peeling them was such a headache!!! My daughter made this recipe and it was so delicious I wanted to make it myself. So I tried the Instapot.
This is the perfect recipe & the Instapot is the perfect method for pooling easy to peel eggs!!
Make them all the time now. Thanks SOOOOO much for this recipe!!!!

Oh my gosh…butter in deviled eggs…the perfect touch to add to creaminess. I just made this recipe and it is perfection!!!
Deviled eggs are big here in the South, and when I arrived here from California, couln’t believe that deviled eggs were everywhere…appetizers, sides, snacks, every party or gathering, and yes, a little sweet, But I usually had to make double the number of hardboiled eggs because my eggs, no matter the metthod, tips and tricks, usually resulted in at least half of the eggs messed up. (Your hard boiled eggs look perfect! Are they the pre-cooked eggs from the grocery store?) Then someone told me about the Dash rapid egg cooker, that cooks 6 perfect hardboiled eggs by steaming. I use an extra tablespoon of water and leave them for an extra 2 minutes after the alarm goes off, but since I discovered this little genius Dash, I make hard “steamed” eggs all the time. And now have the perfect recipe. Thank you Sam!

I agree. Salt is the best way to get easy to peel boiled eggs. I add a generous amount to the water before putting the pan on the stovetop. And when I say generous, I mean VERY generous. It does not affect the taste of the eggs of course so the more the better has been my motto! Very rarely do I have an egg that is not easy to peel using this method.

I have chickens and get a dozen every day! Decided for church potluck to do bantam eggs for deviled eggs (I have both types of chickens) I have found to boil water first with a tablespoon of baking soda, get an “egg pick” which can poke a hole on the larger top where the air sack is (storing them with the air sack on the top also helps them last longer.) place in boiling water set timer for 11 min. regular size, 7 min bantam size. as soon as timer is off spoon out eggs and place in ice water until cooled down (stops the cooking). Perfect eggs every time. Will try this recipe though I’ll skip the Dijon mustard as I don’t have any! Thanks.

To boil my eggs, I put eggs (room temperature) into the pot and fill with water until an inch above eggs. Heat on medium until it comes to a rolling boil. Cover with lid, take off heat and wait about 12 minutes. Your eggs will be much easier to peel. I always run cold water to make the peeling process easier. Eggs come out perfect. Enjoy!

Hi Debra! Without having tried it, it’s tough to say. It’s definitely going to change the flavor. I would do some experimenting with it, maybe start with a little less.

I agree with this 100%. This handy egg cooker makes perfect pealed eggs every time. And I got mine for 19.99. Ordered one for all of my sisters.

I’m definitely going to try this recipe. However, I’m not a sweet pickle fan. I do like adding vinegar. should I use the same measurement as the sweet pickle juice?

Hi Sam. I am going to try the butter trick the very next time I make Deviled Eggs. I like them sweet also, however making them with dill pickles, the juice and some dill seed can be very delicious. Since I have a few laying chickens I use fresh eggs but only for cooking or baking.
For boiled eggs I only use week old eggs, if I am lucky enough to have some that are 2-3 weeks old…even better. I put a little vinegar in my water and boil as I like them and they seem to peel fairly well.
Very nice recipe, BTW.

Made for an event- 40 eggs. Ingredients in food processor. I didn’t add all of the sweetness because caviar will be added to the majority- very good flavor, thank you for sharing!

The membrane should be cooked quickly to avoid adhering so add eggs to already boiling water, You can lower a full steaming basket carefully into the pot. Boil, place in ice bath. 11 minutes to jammy, 12 to fully cooked 13 to hard.
