Peeling Hard Boiled Fresh Eggs

Having chickens and ducks, one of the big demoralizing things was having to buy eggs at a store if we needed to hard boil for deviled eggs or the like. Peeling farm fresh eggs has been rough. We tried all the tricks regarding baking soda and ice baths and poking a pin inside. Nothing really helped.

But today I found a new tip and it worked beautifully. The tip?

Don't boil. Steam. You get the same result in the egg itself. If anything, they seem more resistant to going green from overcooking. But they peel so much easier! I don't understand why everyone isn't steaming instead of hard boiling!

I found the same when I had chickens. Hard to peel. But then I used a tablespoon or two of salt in the water and that seemed to help.

I gotta try steaming eggs now. Never thought of that
