The perfect hard boiled eggs

To make Deviled Eggs, you need to start with hard boiled eggs! To make the perfect hard-boiled eggs, follow these steps:

  1. Start with fresh eggs: Choose eggs that are not too old, as fresher eggs are easier to peel.
  2. Place the eggs in a saucepan: Arrange the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  3. Add water: Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
  4. Bring to a boil: Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer: Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low or medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Let the eggs cook in the simmering water for about 9-12 minutes, depending on the desired level of doneness. Adjust the time for larger or smaller eggs.
  6. Prepare an ice bath: While the eggs are simmering, prepare a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
  7. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath: After the desired cooking time, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the saucepan to the ice bath. Let them sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes to cool and stop cooking if you want an easy peel shell.
  8. Peel the eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll it between your hands to loosen the shell. Start peeling from the wider end, where there’s usually an air pocket, which can help with easier peeling. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

Want to cook your eggs in the Instant Pot?

To cook hard-boiled eggs in an Instant Pot, follow these steps:

  1. Place a trivet or steamer basket: Add 1 cup of water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Insert a trivet or steamer basket that came with the Instant Pot.
  2. Add eggs: Carefully place the desired number of eggs on the trivet or in the steamer basket. You can cook as few as 1 egg or as many as the Instant Pot can accommodate.
  3. Seal the Instant Pot: Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the pressure release valve is set to the sealing position.
  4. Set the cooking time: Select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button (the name may vary depending on the model), and set the cooking time to 5 minutes for medium-sized eggs or 6 minutes for large-sized eggs. Note that the time will vary slightly based on egg size and desired doneness.
  5. Start cooking: The Instant Pot will take some time to come to high pressure before the cooking time starts. Once the cooking time is reached, the Instant Pot will beep, indicating that the eggs are cooked.
  6. Quick release or natural release: You can perform a quick release by carefully turning the pressure release valve to the venting position using a long spoon or use a natural release by allowing the pressure to release naturally over time (around 5 minutes). Be cautious of the hot steam during quick release.
  7. Transfer to an ice bath: Once the pressure is fully released, open the Instant Pot and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to cool and stop cooking.
  8. Peel the egg shells and enjoy: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll it between your hands to loosen the shell. Start peeling from the wider end, where there’s usually an air pocket, which can help with easier peeling. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

FAQs

  1. How far in advance can I make deviled eggs?
    Deviled eggs can be made a day in advance. Prepare and assemble the deviled eggs, but hold off on garnishing them until just before serving. Keep them refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  2. How do I prevent the egg yolks from turning green?
    The greenish-gray color around the yolks is caused by a chemical reaction between sulfur in the egg whites and iron in the yolks. To prevent this, avoid overcooking the eggs and promptly cool them in an ice bath after boiling. Additionally, consume the deviled eggs within a day or two of preparation.
  3. How can I make the filling smooth and creamy?
    To achieve a smooth and creamy filling, make sure the cooked egg yolks are thoroughly mashed and well-mixed with the other ingredients. You can use a fork or a food processor to achieve a smoother consistency. Adding a little bit of Miracle Whip or mayonnaise to the filling can also help create a creamier texture.
  4. How long can deviled eggs be left at room temperature?
    It is best to avoid leaving deviled eggs at room temperature for more than 2 hours to ensure food safety. Bacteria can multiply rapidly between the temperatures of 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C). If the deviled eggs have been sitting out for more than 2 hours, it’s advisable to discard them.

If, for some reason, you have leftover deviled eggs after your family gatherings, you are a simple step away from an easy potato salad! Just chop up your leftover eggs, add them to some cooked diced potatoes, and toss in a few celery seeds or celery salt. Some people even swear by adding a little pickle juice! Skip the potatoes, and you have a festive egg salad based on this delicious appetizer recipe.
