You might find them easier to peel under an running tap...the water
gets under the shell and makes it easier to remove the shell.

Julia Child used to recommend poking a little hole in the wide end,
which she said will let gas escape as you boil the eggs. This makes
the eggs eaiser to peel, apparently.

I have an electric egg boiler (cos I am rubbish at timing eggs).
that has a wee needle on the base of the water measure. That is used
to poke a wee hole in the egg. I have yet to find an egg I can't
peel from that cooker.

is similar to mine. I can choose how I want my eggs and bingo!! I
get them every time:))

Ok, you've convinced me. I just ordered one!



It just steams eggs...I have a kenmore electric veggie steamer (sears
approx $40 IIRC) that comes with a rice basket, a 2 stackable baskets and
a 10 egg tray. Does more than just eggs can steam veggies,fish, shrimp,
rice... whatever you want steamed. But it doesn't poke a hole in the
shell. It does have a timer. I never tried to poach a egg in it, don't
believe you could.

I find that steaming eggs for about 20 minutes allows for easier shell
removal for hard boiled eggs. I think somebody else tried it out with one
of those bamboo wok steamer dealies with good sucess as well. I've posted
about this before.
