Tips for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
The success of Bloody Finger Deviled Eggs hinges on perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Consequently, here are tips to ensure your deviled eggs are devilishly good:
- Start with Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs are less likely to crack while boiling. So these are ideal for deviled eggs.
- Room Temperature: Allow your eggs to come to room temperature before boiling to minimize cracking.
- Gentle Cooking: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring it to a gentle boil. Then, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 9-12 minutes.
- Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. This makes peeling easier and prevents the dreaded greenish ring around the yolks.
- Peel Carefully: Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel them under cold running water to make the process smoother.
