I place mine in a steamer and turn the heat on med high. After 20 minutes turn off the heat and enjoy PERFECT eggs. Any kind of steamer will work. I use a bamboo one inside of a pan. I have used this method for the past year and would never try anything else because they turn out perfect and the shells just slide off once cracked. The 20 minutes is for a hard boiled egg. 15 minutes would produce a medium hard, 10 minutes soft boiled.Tried both methods again this morning. Tried 1 blue egg: Crack. And 1 brown egg: Shake. Both eggs laid this morning. Didn't shake the brown egg as hard as I did yesterday. Both eggs peeled beautifully!! The shaked one was slightly harder to peel. I had to peel it under running water.
London, Thanks so much for posting both methods. Now, I have options when peeling freshly laid eggs.
