About those colored deviled eggs, please?
Comments (7)Pup, I experimented with two cooked egg whites--used warm water with five drops of red food coloring--let it sit in the dye for a few minutes then took it out. Decided it was "okay" but not fantastic, so didn't bother with the rest! Punk, I would never have thought to dye the yolks, but those sure look pretty festive! And they do go perfectly with your gorgeous flowers! Tell your little GD she did a great job and made your table look really pretty. ;o) I see you used my favorite set of dishes and I love those cute napkin rings too. I also really like the looks of the little painted bunny in the background--is it one of your creations too? Luvs...See MoreT&T Deviled Eggs!
Comments (31)Here's a tip from Shirley Corriher (Cookwise); the night before you boil the eggs for deviled eggs, store the egg carton sideways--that is, on edge so that the eggs are resting horizontally. (You may wish to tape the carton shut so it doesn't pop open, and/or prop something next to it in the fridge so it stays sideways.) The idea is that the yolk will center itself inside the albumen and make a more attractive deviled egg. Here's one of her methods for boiling eggs, using a cold water start: -Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with 1 1/2 inches of cold water -Partially cover the pot and bring to a full rolling boil -Turn the heat down to low, cover completely, and leave on heat for 30 seconds -Remove from heat and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes --Cool the eggs by putting them in cold running water for 5 minutes. (I drain the hot water first, then run cold water over them for 5 minutes) I've been boiling eggs this way for the past year or so; very few cracked shells and few green yolks. The nice thing about this technique is that once you turn off the heat you can go do something else. I use the kitchen timer at the link, wearing it around my neck to summon me back to the kitchen to finish up the task. As someone else mentioned, if you use slightly older eggs, they are easier to shell than really fresh ones. I tend to buy two dozen at a time, using one for fresh applications (souffles, poaching, etc) and saving the second one to boil the next week.

Comments (20)My poultry guy at the farmer's market told me that some chickens (breeds of chickens? specially raised chickens? -- I don't know) always lay double-yolk eggs. He can charge higher prices for some of his eggs because he can guarantee double yolks. People around here like them, I guess because you're only eating one big fried egg but it seems like you're eating two. So somehow you got eggs laid by the double-yolking chickens....See More? deviled eggs... OK .... I 'bit '!!
Comments (33)I ran across this method for hard cooked eggs from Julia Child. Please read #5. WHO KNEW! -Grainlady Perfectly Easy-to-Peel Hard Boiled Eggs 1. Start by placing your eggs in the bottom of a large pot. You want the pot to be large enough that the eggs can fit in a single layer. Add water until it's 1 inch above the top of the eggs. 2. Turn on the heat and bring the water to a boil. (If you want, you can add a half teaspoon of salt here like Katie suggests.) 3. When the water boils, cover the pot and turn the burner off. Let the eggs sit in the covered pot for 17 minutes. Get a bowl filled with ice water and set it off to the side. 4. After 17 minutes, transfer the eggs into the ice water using a slotted spoon. 5. Now, bring the water back up to a boil again and place the cooled eggs into the boiling water for just 10-20 seconds more. Cooling the egg causes the egg itself to shrink away from the shell and membrane, and when we give the outer shell that extra blast of heat, it causes it to expand slightly, pulling it as far away from the egg as possible. The eggs then go back in the ice water to let them cool completely. 6. Peel the egg. Here is a link that might be useful: Cooking 101: How to Hard Boil Eggs...See MoreAnglophilia
