how long does it take to get a hard boil egg?

Some hubbies want a 60 inch widescreen TV...if you can keep yours happy with an egg cooker I'd say you picked that battle well.

That's the way I do it, too, except I don't boil mine. I find that makes them rubbery. I bring them to a boil, then take them off the heat and let them sit for 17 min. I stir every once in awhile if I'm making deviled eggs to center the yolk. I have never tried putting the cracked eggs back in cold water. I'll have to try that, although I usually don't have problems peeling my eggs.

Here is my recipe for deviled eggs, if anyone is interested.

For 6 eggs
1/4 cup mayo (not Miracle whip)
1 tsp cider apple vinegar (not white)
1 tsp prepared mustard
1/8 tsp salt
dash of pepper

Mash yolks well with a fork, then add remaining ingredients. I use a cookie press to pipe the filling into the whites. Top with paprika if desired. I have used capers (three on each egg looks nice), sliced olives, bacon bits, fresh parsley as garnishes.

Here is my secret-------use Grey Poupon Country Style mustard

I get rave reviews for my eggs

Lititz ~ PA Dutch Country!

That is the same basic way I make hard boiled eggs too ~ as soon as they boil, cover and take off the heat. I leave mine for 15 minutes, drain the hot water and cover with ice cubes and water until cold ~ then peel.

For the deviled eggs ~ I use brown mustard with horseradish in it ~ gives it a little more zing!

Do you make red beets eggs too! YUM!

I have used horseradish mustard already, but some people don't like horseradish. I LOVE

IT I don't make redbeet eggs, but my MIL does. She gets at least 3 doz eggs a week from me.
BTW, how do you know about Lititz and Pa Dutch country?

We always poke a hole in the top of the egg with a pin. This pops the air sack which allows you to peel the egg easier. I couldn't understand why when I would peel the egg, half of the egg would come off with the shell. Since learning that trick on BYC it makes it alot easier. ENJOY!

Roots Market!! I live about 2 mi from there

Hve you ever been to the livestock auction? I used to go in there to look, but I can't bring myself to go in anymore. Too many un-cared for animals, makes me sick

Do you use the pin before you cook them, or after?

Wow ~ you are so lucky to live close to Roots. I love to shop the farmer's market stands and also the Flea market too! That area of Lancaster County is so beautiful !

I have not been to an auction ~ but have looked at the animals there and was very sad at the way they keep them ~ they are treated as livestock not as pets like I treat mine. I would be afraid I would want to buy all the poor things to "save them" if I went for the auction.
