    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    JetCat, we live at slightly over 4K feet in elevation. No In-the-Sky elevations that may hover well above 6 thousand feet ("6k") in several western states. Oh,...that's also an "ASL" (Above Sea Level) comment? Generally speaking.. I don't feel our "personal altitude" ( ASL, or even...

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    I realize my "Boiled" Egg report is pretty mundane and boring: Just wanted to say that I did a "semi-scientific" (is there such a thing...Not?) test, by simultaneously steaming & boiling some of my bantam eggs this afternoon. I set up two pans. One with a steamer rack, and the other, a pot...

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    LOVED, the scenario about blowing out boiled eggs, Old Philosopher ...! I dunno, having not yet tried it. But...don't many, many things in the Commercial Booths at county & state fairs fail to perform "as advertised"? I hate to clean walls. Have one husband & two messy dawgs.

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    Thanks, JetCat for clarifying that the eggs in your post were quail, not bantam eggs. I will increase the length of boiling. I don't want the "green/grey ring" around the yolks, reflected by over-boiled eggs. I am a bit confused about the words, "...any size chicken egg". Apples and...

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    Thanks, potato chip and Old Philosopher for the comments about "boiled-egg blowing". I DO agree that the procedure is a psychological turn-off. But the public who eats within restaurants, tries to believe in some form of hygiene among personnel/cooks? Fast-food joints are often required...

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    Ooops....Sorry, JetCat, as the eggs you pickled were NOT quail eggs. Will try the "5 minute boiling" time.

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    Thanks, JetCat. Now I'm thrown in a quandary over which method to use. If I have enough time tomorrow, I will use BOTH methods simultaneously, out of curiosity (I might learn something in the process too?). I can fairly equally divide the eggs based on their freshness. This should be fun...

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    Thanks, Old Philosopher, for your comments about steaming pullet eggs. Yes, your newbie hen eggs (if they aren't breeds that lay XXL eggs) are likely close to the size of my bantam eggs (who lay rather large eggs for their diminutive size). I was very busy today, so no time to experiment...

    Easy to peel FRESH LAID hard boiled eggs!

    Has anyone tried BAKING eggs, as per the Alton Brown method? I haven't, so far. And I haven't a clue, as how to adapt the cooking time to Bantam Fruit. I have been collecting my recent bantam eggs to make a couple big jars of pickled eggs. I have never used extremely fresh eggs for boiled...
