Hard boiling fresh eggs
I have never had good luck using fresh eggs for deviled eggs. The carton you buy in the store just makes a mess by sticking/breaking (even though I don't consider them particularly fresh!).
I found a fool proof recipe on a backyard chicken forum:
USE ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS!!
Boil a large pot of salted water
Gently lower eggs into water - boil for exactly 17 min.
Remove from water and put in ice water bath for 17 min.
The eggs just slip right out of the shells. It works for farm fresh eggs or regular grocery store ones.
I'd never heard of this way to prepare them and just thought I'd share.
