Steamed Eggs vs Boiled Eggs ...which is better?

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

Steamed eggs or boiled eggs for hard boiling? Have you tried both methods for hard boiled eggs...and do you have a preference?

[@rachelcarson7019]

Chef Buck I have never tried steaming, but I will! And the piercing thing... there is an air pocket in the big end of an egg. You pierce it there to alleviate the pressure and allow more room for the egg inside to loosen from the membrane as it cooks. SCIENCE!!! Yum.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

...they do specify poking a hole in the fat end...so sounds pretty sciencey

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

it's a subtle difference, but definitely easier to peel...the egg just doesn't seem to be as "stuck" to the shell

[@andysnat]

Over the years I've seen you do hard boiled eggs a number of times, always giving us this good advice about cooling them quickly in cold water to aid the ease of peeling them. BUT, do you know what else this quick cooling helps to ensure? EVERY one of your eggs today had no green ring around the yolk. That quick cooling makes a HUGE difference in the development of the green sulphourous ring on the yolk. Test my allegation scientifically by doing a further trial of eggs properly cooled, and eggs just left out at room temp to cool. I have always wanted to tell you this, but previously thought Meh!! Best to CG, your mum who I admire so much, and your sister the actress.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yes!--very good point--dropping the eggs in cold water shocks them, and also stops the cooking process...if they are taken out of the pot and not immediately chilled, they will remain very hot for quite a while and continue cooking

[@woodstream6137]

Don't be afraid to cover the pot while you wait for the water to boil. Saves a little time and energy

[@stufields5125]

I've been using the steamer basket method for weeks. I do not penetrate the egg first. I do not use the paper. Just eggs. I've had several mornings where I was able to get a single shell when I peeled the egg. Zero divots. I've tried several different boiling tricks and never had the easy peeling that I got with 12 minutes steaming and 10 minutes cooling in ice water

[@SuzyLovesYASHUA7]

Thank you. I’m going to give your method a right now! 😊🥚

[@missjp777]

I have the steaming machine. Once I didn't put enough holes in the end... they blew up. Lesson learned! Your eggs look awesome! Thx for video! 🙂

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

CG cringes whenever I'm poking holes in the eggs--she thinks the egg is just going to fall apart in my hand, which I kinda think it will, too...but it never does

[@BooBaddyBig]

They do that sometimes anyway. It's to do with the eggs having been cracked, the experimental evidence is that holes don't help.

[@jeffreynash9928]

Once you crack the egg I use a teaspoon to slip under the shell to slip the shell off. I still use and ice bath to cool them. I love jalapeño in everything!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I definitely test the limits of CG's tolerance for jalapeno :^)

[@stevet8121]

I've watched over a dozen videos on how to make hard boiled eggs when I could have just come here and got the no BS version with real testing. Lesson learned. A lot more fun too!

[@jushave2say]

I bought a steamer basket a few days ago. I have always boiled eggs in a pot of water. I'm excited to give the steaming method a try.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I've always just boiled eggs in a pot of hot water, as well..which is fine--but I do think the steaming does make the eggs easier to peel, and that makes it a good enough reason to switch to steaming--and it is a little faster, although that 4 or 5 minute savings isn't a big deal to me, because it's passive time and I can be doing other things in the kitchen during those extra minutes.

[@jushave2say]

UPDATE: I love this steaming method way better than boiling an egg. The eggs are easier to peel. I don't think I will ever use the boiling method again due to this reason alone.

[@GordyThomas]

My tip for peeling: tap/crack each END of the egg, then gently roll the egg on the counter. Then when you peel the egg you are more likely to have the entire shell peel away in one or two sections.

[@mschmidtTX]

If you want them to peel easily, make sure you start with room-temperature eggs before cooking. If you boil eggs right out of the fridge the shell always sticks.

[@oldmanfred8676]

Put a splash of White Vinegar in the water before boiling.

[@christinebuncic5998]

I prefer to steam my eggs. They're easier to peel, you don't have to babysit the pot on the stove, and the consistency is the same each time. I use my egg steamer at least once a week. The reason you put a little needle hole in each egg is to enable the lining of the egg not to stick to the shell, so they are easier to peel. I also like the fact that this device has an alarm, which sounds once the water is gone. I have been using this device now for over a year, and it still works great! Enjoyed your video. I'll have to make some egg salad now. Thanks!

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

to break the inside lining!--that makes perfect sense! I liked the dash steamer and used it quite a bit at the Airbnb we were renting...it was an older model without an alarm and would simply shut off when it was through

[@riprapter6322]

hole could keep from exploding the egg when steaming fast.

Bring to boil, 8min sealed, 8 mins icebath. Chef John taught me it. Perfect 👌

[@juggaslow4585]

Agreed. Perfect method.

[@jonnyboat2]

What does 8 minutes sealed mean? Also, are the eggs in the water from the beginning until the water comes to a boil? Or, are you bringing the water to a boil, then adding the eggs to the boiling water for 8 minutes? I want to try this and I want to do it properly. Thanks. 🙂

Will that method hard boil the entire yolk?? I dont like yokes like his first two steam methods.

[@bangalorebobbel]

Interesting experiment. I guess that steamer thing is most energy efficient as well as water saving. The only trick I know is concerning the boiling method: always to use the smallest pot size - just big enough for the number of eggs wanted but not bigger. That saves water and such also time to bring it to a boil.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yes...very good point!

[@bretthumphries7911]

Steam, hands down! I work in the catering industry, and once I discovered the steam method, that's all I used. I did hundreds at a time, steamed. Next time, get the pot steaming first, and set the basket and eggs in the pot. Cover. Steam 11 minutes. Ice bath. EZ PEEL. good eats

[@lewismaddock1654]

This man has a line he doesn't cross. He`ll take an egg to the chest but he won't sing or dance. I love these kinds of principles.

[@boojay111]

old system here in the UK . My Dad always used to poke a pin into the egg at the pointed end before cooking. He also put vinegar in the water. He also cracks the eggs just as you put the egg into the cold water. Yes, it works

[@FlashGeiger]

When I switched to steamed/pressure cooking eggs, I watched a bunch of youtube vids and saw a recommendation to give the eggs a crack in the wide end where the air sack is when taking them out of the steamer on the way to the cold water bath. I think the theory was that the water would get in between the egg and membrane while it cooled. They were much easier to peel than I experienced before, but whether that was due to the steam or the cracking I don't know and haven't bothered to test. I'm switching from steaming in the pressure cooker to steaming in a rice cooker to reduce the pile of gadgets in my kitchen which is why I searched and found your video Thanks for the vid!

[@hustledude]

I love how your video is 12 minutes long, exactly the time to boil the eggs :)

[@ZanesFacebook]

12 minutes? How many eggs are you cooking at once?

[@carlreno2]

Hi Chef Buck. I bought a Ninja Foodi and I can steam hard boiled eggs in 7 minutes followed by a cold water bath and they all come out cooked identical in the yokes and peel super easy and smooth. When i transfer the eggs from the cooker I just tap them gently to crack the shell so when they hit the water they start to open up and loose the membrane and it works the same every time. Love you and camera girl keep up the great super duper videos

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I never thought of giving the eggs a crack before placing them in the cold water--that sounds like a great idea--gonna try that trick

[@nancyfahey7518]

We just took refrigerated hard boiled eggs, put them in a cup of hot water 30 seconds and they peeled easier too.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yeah, I think cooling the eggs down before peeling is key...plus it keeps them from overcooking

[@jaxt7197]

Nancy - How long had they been refrigerated? Your idea to warm them up is interesting to me because I often will make extra hard boiled eggs to use the next day or even another day later. The ones I refrigerate in their shells are very hard to peel smoothly.

[@MoeSad]

For runny yolks, I boil them for 6 minutes then an ice bath, 9 minutes for soft yolks and 12 minutes for hard boiled eggs. An ice bath will make the egg shells come off easier. Oh, and older eggs peel off better than fresh eggs. I have my own chickens and eggs so I know how old are the eggs :-) thank you for the well done video ❤️

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

yes, whether steaming or boiled in a pot of water, I think chilling the eggs after cooking is the biggest help to easier peeling

[@MrDarshD]

Awesome tips, Chef! I agree with the conclusion and you gave some good scientific info too, like the reason behind the green layer between egg white and the yolk, how our perception changes the things we do and the best part is the impromptu recipe near the end. The humor, direction and quality was brilliant, as always! Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend :)

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I really dislike getting an over boiled egg with that sulphur-y green tint around the yolk, which seems to happen every now and then when I order a salad at a restaurant with boiled egg as an ingredient. I probably got sensitive to the taste as a child, because when my mama made hard boiled eggs, she boiled them to the max!

[@MrDarshD]

I make smoked eggs on my Weber kettle and they peel just fine! Supper good too!

The egg yolks done in your steamer looked slightly undercooked;; ok for egg salad but not deviled eggs. Getting the steam going before putting the eggs in the pot would probably make the timing more predictable.

I’ve never tried steaming before. I’ll have to watch the video again to see if you add the eggs and basket to already steaming water or not and how long to steam. Thanks CB. This might just be my new method and I have a steamer basket too.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

I add the eggs before the water is steaming, and once the water begins to steam, I set a timer for 12 minutes.

[@keilana6]

May have to experiment with time. I timed steamed eggs for 13 minutes & they were not hard boiled.

[@deskueber1441]

Fyi. Fresh eggs and I mean fresh, don't peel well cause they haven't had time to shrink away from the shell. Most eggs on the store are min 4 to 6 weeks old.

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

definitely not farm fresh in the store. I generally keep 3 cartons of eggs in the fridge when we're in a fixed locale for a time, and make sure I use the oldest of the eggs for boiling.

[@mach2262]

Des Kueber - I heard if you put about a tbsp of vinegar in with your water it helps with the pealing of the eggs. Never tried it as I don’t have access to fresh eggs :(. Anyways, give it a try :).

I raise my own eggs and I’ve had success with the steaming method or air fryer. Love my air fryer!

[@andrewperkins5483]

we store our eggs pointed end down in the egg carton on the counter (fresh, unwashed eggs with the bloom intact). Air sac will move to the large end (where you begin peeling) and also centers the yolks. After steaming we cool the entire steaming basked in an ice bath (10) minutes.

[@kalrobbins2811]

After I boil my eggs, I peel them by placing about 3 or 4 eggs in a bowl of ice water (cover the eggs), cover the bowl and gently shaking them for about 30 seconds or so and the eggs practically peel them by themselves.

That egg salad looks yummy. According to America’s Test kitchen you steam the egg in boiling eater cool then in an ice cold bath put them in a container shake it 40 times and they will peel easily.

[@jessicah3450]

I've just found using older eggs is the key to eggs that are easy to peel. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean rotten or expired eggs. But the older eggs have more of a layer of air between the egg and the shell that makes them peel cleanly. So, I buy an extra dozen and keep them in the back of my fridge for a week or two, eggs stay good for about a month. Those are the ones I use for boiled or steamed eggs.

[@jonnyboat2]

[@tb9359]

In your test, the 'cold' water became less cold as you added more eggs. By the time you got to your third set (the boiled eggs), I would surmise the peeling wasn't as easy because the water was not as cold as the first set of eggs encountered. Perhaps that is the difference that the first set of eggs peeled easier than the last two sets. imho

[@jazztsax]

the taste isn't altered at all, but the eggs are easier to peel, and the cooking time is slightly reduced.

[@sicariusperemo3789]

The issue with Boiling Eggs, is that you waste more water, more energy compared to Steam, and Steaming penetrates a bit of the shell, making them way easier to peel, and you save water and energy when heating up, so Steaming is a win win 🙂Doesn't matter if it's new Eggs or not Easiest way to peel Eggs, is to either cover the pot with a lid, or transfer them to a container with a lid, and shake, you can literally peel 6 Eggs in 5 seconds of shaking, the shell in 4 of 6 Eggs are usually all off, the rest you can take up in one single pinch 🙂 Also the Vinegar in water is pointless, there is so many myths behind that just like with using Salt, but all Vinegar does is thinning the shell, as it dissolves some of the Calcium

Then we got one as a Christmas gift... While it's still a shame it's a single purpose appliance, I ended up loving that thing because it makes perfect eggs every time, and takes quite a bit shorter and uses far less water. Just use the measure cup that comes with it to add the indicated amount of water for the amount of eggs your steaming, for the desired soft/medium/hard consistency and you're good to go. Though if I have to boil a larger batch, I still just use the big pan of water, rather than several batches in the egg cooker.

I gotta ask. What is your favorite mayonnaise? It’s known that southerners like Duke’s. It’s good. My favorite is Hellman’s. I wonder if there is a good non-gmo mayo made with avocado oil?

Peel your eggs under a stream of cold running water. It's a little wasteful water wise, but the shells come right off.

I find just peeling them under the water has a similar effect without using as much water.

I usually crack the done eggs before putting them into cold water

[@Joey-jw6ym]

I prefers the steaming method because it is easier to peel the eggs and control the final cooking result.

Might be worth getting some farm fresh eggs and try this again. By the time eggs get to the grocery store they can already be a month or more old, even those that are organic or Eggland's best.

Cool experiment. I’ll try steaming them. What does your t shirt say? I was trying to read about epidemiologist wedding vows

[@ChefBuckRecipes]

the shirt says "I will always fail to reject you" which my epidemiologist friend assures me is funny...or at least on par with the sense of humor you might expect from an epidemiologist

Now I know about steamed eggs. Great video. The egg to the chest cracked me up! For regular boiling, one nice lady here on YT suggests boiling the water THEN placing them in there. It always seemed to me that would shock/crack them but it doesn't.

Steam eggs in an Instant Pot for 5 minutes. They come out perfect every time.

Steam less time, energy, water and final prep. Steam wins! I’m off to make steampunk egg salad 🚀

Hole in egg might stop an egg from exploding when cooking quickly. Trust me you don't want hot egg everywhere . A lid might keep in pan but. I have cooked eggs quickly when camping and exploded eggs. Hot burning egg-shower is not fun . Hole let's over pressure out of egg- pushing tooth pick in helps too . Can also scramble inside shell.
