Boil time for bantam eggs?

[donrae]

I have some nicely aged bantam eggs in the fridge I want to devil for church potluck this Sunday. Anyone have a good time for these little things? I usually do 13-14 min with full size eggs, just wondering if anyone has experience with these. Thx.

I know it's too late ( being Sunday already--LOL) but all I have is Banty eggs. I use the "perfect boiled egg" recipe & they're great every time. Put eggs in a single layer in a pan. Cover with water + 1" or so extra. Heat until water boils strongly. Turn heat off immediately, cover pan, & set timer for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes pour off hot water, rinse in cold water a couple of times, then cover eggs in cold water to which you add a few ice cubes. Let cool 15 more minutes & they're done.

Thanks. I decided I'd rather have them a little over done than underdone. Since I was devilling them, a little gray-ringed yolk wasn't going to kill anyone. I started like you did, then let them boil for a minute or two, then turned off the heat and let them set for I think 10 or 11 minutes, then rinse. I let them set until morning, made bacon devilled eggs (crumbled bacon and bacon grease in the yolk mixture) and they just VANISHED! I had a few gray rings, and a few yolks with that little undercooked spot in the middle, so I'll probably just do pretty much this in the future. Everyone loved how cute they were!

I love deviled eggs w/bantam eggs. I do that with mine too. They are so cute, and just bite-sized.

Just made bantum deviled eggs for picnic tonight. Mmmmmm. They are so darn cute too! I used dill. But the bacon sounds divine!. I boil mine for 12 minutes in already boiling water. Worked well.

SO if you have a steamer, I make my boiled eggs in a steamer when possible. 12-14 min in my wolfgang puck steamer and I get perefect boiled eggs every time. I then just put them in ice water and peel them while they are warm. 8 min for an over easy steamed egg. The white will be done,but the yolk will still be soft. I like this method because it's faster (or feels faster to me anyway), and they always seem to peel easier. That last part may be my imagination though.
