I use a Black and Decker veggie steamer to cook the eggs, and then roll them to peel....
fool proof with the timer....... at the same time, in a second steamer, I will steam potatos, once blanched in ice water, the skins peel off instantly.......add a few ingredients, and I got potato salad in a jiffy...... | ||

Boiled EGGS! I just about would rather have a root canal than smell a boiled egg!! I will not use them !!!It stems from my Mothers love of them, she put them in everything, I wouldn't eat potato salad until I was about grown because of those chunks of boiled egg!!!LOL | ||

I'll have to try these methods; thanks for posting them, guys.
I put chopped hard-boiled eggs in deli macaroni and potato salads, as well as my favorite scalloped potatoes recipe---and I like egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs. In other words, I boil eggs quite often. After cooking, I pour out almost all the water, then shake the saucepan around vigorously so the eggs crack. Then I fill the pan with cold water while tapping each egg on the side of the pan, then peeling them under the running water. Works 95% of the time. | ||

Steaming works great
For small batches 7 or less I have an eggcelent egg cooker. Perfect everytime and peels easily.
Now for the three dozen I just cooked off to dye tonight, I used the stock pot on the stove, most of those will be deviled by tomorrow, about a dozen is reserved to pickle. My daughter always keeps a dozen to Play with as she plays re-hiding and finding them for about a week, then they go to the compost bin usually. | ||

 I just picked up an Oster egg cooker last week. It appears to have been barely or perhaps never used.
I like the look of my Sunbeam better, but I can't seem to get the hang of that one. If the Oster provides good results, I'll be using that one instead. I like that it has a teflon poacher and clear glass lid to see how things are progressing.
It seems that if you want to hard boil a dozen eggs, you'll find over a dozen "perfect" ways to do it. I've done it a couple of different ways, dropping the eggs into boiling water, or starting them in cold water and bringing them to a low boil, then simmering just enough so that bubbles break the surface. The main thing is not to overcook the eggs, which results in the grayness around the yolks.
Peeling the eggs is easiest when they're warm. It's when they've cooled that the peeling tricks are most welcome. | ||

Boiled eggs - Yuck! The best way to ruin good potato salad. The only time I make them is if I'm going to color eggs. | ||

I like the look of my Sunbeam better, but I can't seem t What is the challenge with the Sunbeam egg cooker?
I've one from the 1960's (akin to the US version below only for 230V) that is an absolute dream to use.
Does yours have the water measuring 'cup' on the inside of the lid? CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK | ||

Ralph, At first I wasn't too keen on my Oster egg cooker either as I got it as part of a box lot at an estate auction, but I love it now. I do however spray the poacher sections with a light coating of olive oil before adding the eggs, just as a precaution. I get perfect results every time with it. And, I agree about the clear cover and being able to keep an eye on what's going on while it's in operation. | ||

Clear Glass Lid News flash: If you're poaching eggs, the cooking process doesn't include a shell.
My Sunbeam does have the measuring lid. What it doesn't seem to have is correct timing to correspond with the measurements. I've experimented with the adjusting screw on the bottom but it still seems to either under-cook or over-cook. I've also tried using more or less water to influence the outcome, with mixed results. I get it to where it will poach nicely, but then hard-cooked will end up under-done.
At this point, I'd rather have eggs the way I like them than keep fooling with the Sunbeam and dealing with eggs that don't turn out as intended. | ||

Older eggs peel easier I find. There is more air space inside the egg as the amalbum takes up less space. | ||
