I do turn my eggs a day before boiling and that does center the yolk and makes for prettier devilled eggs...And it is the freshness of the egg which attributes to ease of pealing, so if I have a picnic to go to, I buy a carton a week before...I just got done doing all of this for my dad's 75th birthday last weekend, and they turned out really tasty...Have a fab week, everyone, and thanks for the recipes
