steamed, not boiled, eggs
I used to dread the process of boiling eggs; it was always hard to peel them, sometimes worse than others. Then one day I read about steaming eggs in shells. The steaming method works every time--the eggs are perfectly cooked and easy to peel. If you try this method, you will never boil an egg again!!
