I put the eggs in the pot first, then add water, then bring to a boil,
then 13 minutes from start of boil I pull them off the stove and quench
them in cold water.
No trauma to the shells since they were already in the pot rather than
dropping them into the boiling water.

Steve, start with eggs cold or room temperature? 14 minutes sounds
like a long time, I haven’t made them in a while, but I’m thinking
more like 11.
Also inevitably at least one would crack and leak, sometimes rather
dramatically. That might also have been from using cold eggs right
out of the fridge.

D@m^it. Probably better you don’t tell me, not sure I could handle
the temptation.
Seriously, when we were kids, every extended family gathering someone
would make deviled eggs, and you watched to see which aunt brought
them each time, because some made way better ones than others. Ah,
the days of family buffets and over eating. May never see that again……

Make some deviled eggs out of those and you’ll really have
something. Good deviled eggs are hard to find anymore.

Boil water to rolling boil
Using a ladle drop eggs in gently to not crack them
Boil 14 minutes, 11 for semi soft boiled
The colder the quench water the better the peel
If the quench isnt ice cold, drop back into boil for 30
seconds to steam separate the shell.
The science is settled once and for all, this is hard city
water in an aluminum pot. Anywhere between a half gallon and
gallon and a half, anywhere between 6 and 36 eggs.
Perfect yellow yolk, zero green. 14 minutes after the first
egg is ladled in.
The quench is key for peelability.
I havent left themninnthe quench for more than a couple
minutes, too long and I bet the inner shell is saturated, may
peel better, but will probably spoil faster.
I dont know my mean ASL here. I was concerned because our
water plant added a "flavoring" system, but there was no
change in results.
My lifes work is complete, I'm not certain where to go from
here, but I have a garden full of trinidad scorpions that may
be involved in my future path. That and getting jaime to try
peppered rice vinegar.
