I actually took my MOM'S spices when she passed away. They were brand new. By the time I realized I had them, THEY WERE EXPIRED FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS!!!!! I never thought to look at the expiration dates because they are spices!!! Who would actually pay attention to expiration dates on spices?? I needed cream of tartar for something, and it was expired!!! My mom passed away in 2000, and I went to use the cream of tartar in 2022!!!!! So, don't feel bad!!!! I LOVE corned beef and cabbage!!!! I will be also making those biscuits!!!! They look delicious!!!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

WOW! That's funny. I never really think to look either, except that I thought that one had been in there a long time.

[@candycec908]

Amber, I have two methods for boiling eggs. One is that I put the eggs in a saucepan of cool water that just covers the eggs. I add a good amount of Kosher salt and bring the eggs to a boil. Once they begin to boil, I turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid. I set the timer for 14 minutes. Drain the hot water after 14 minutes. I then put the eggs in an ice bath or let cold water run over them until they are cool. The peels tend to come right off. The second method that I use, especially when hard boiling numerous eggs, is to pressure cook them in my Instant Pot. I add about a cup and a half of water to my Instant Pot, place a trivet into the pot and place the eggs on the trivet. I pressure cook them for four minutes, let them naturally release for about 4-5 minutes, release the rest of the pressure, and then place the eggs into an ice water bath for five minutes. They peel amazingly well and look good too. I tend to do the crack and roll method for peeling. 😄

[@albionswede]

My mom and I do hard boiled eggs that way too, bringing them to a boil then turning off the heat and covering. The age of the eggs has been the only thing that makes them harder to peel in my experience, but only very rarely does the shell stick so much that the white gets peeled off too. Definitely the best way I've found!

[@stephaniesullivan8154]

I’ve been cooking mine in the pressure cooker and will NEVER cook them any other way. You don’t have to track the time or temp and they peel SO easily!!

[@stephaniesullivan8154]

@@albionswede Do you find that older eggs or fresher eggs are harder to peel?

[@albionswede]

@@stephaniesullivan8154 Older tend to give grey edges on the yolks easily if overcooked, but are definitely much easier to peel. My mom always said to use half your eggs for breakfast this week and the other half for hard boiled next week.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

So many good suggestions from people here! I love it!

[@HardyWeeed]

The older the eggs, the easier to peel. Also, smoked paprika is the way to go and try celery seed in them. It's amazing!

What does celery seed bring to the taste of this? Is it peppery?

I invested in an egg cooker. One of the best kitchen items I own. I can make omelets, soft boiled and hard boiled eggs with it. I don't even have to watch them and they're perfect every time.

I work in cosmetics in a department store. One thing I've had to learn is letting the client see your mistake when teaching an application of a product. Then you can teach them how to fix it because it will happen. Thank you for just rolling with it! For Easter, we do lamb, garlic mashed potatoes, peas with tarragon, and a spring mix salad of some sort. Carrot cake for dessert.

[@christiebarker234]

I will only use my instant pot for boiling eggs! Pull them right out as soon as pressure is released (you will have to play around with the time, I set it for 6 minutes) add them to an ice bath. After a few minutes, I crack the shell on a paper towel on the counter all over and put it back in the water. A few more minutes and I peel. Perfect every time!!

Have you tried the mason jar method? You put just like maybe an inch or a little bit less of water in the bottom of a mason jar and putting your egg seal up the mason jar and shake it and it takes that peel off so easily and you have a perfect egg

[@juliemariariley3212]

I love the smoked salmon deviled eggs! I finally think I found my favorite method 😊 I add vinegar to the water and a pinch of salt. As soon as the eggs come to a boil, I let them boil for about a minute. Then I turn the heat off and cover with the lid . Let them stay there for 10-15 minutes. Then I put them in the ice bath until they are cool to the touch- I make sure to move them around a bit so that the yolks don’t settle in a weird spot. To peel I tap both ends then roll. If any shell sticks, I finish peeling under cold water. It took me a while to figure out the best timing- I usually only hard boil 6 eggs or less. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes and experience! I hope y’all have an amazing week 🌻

Cassandra. If you keep the boiled eggs in ice water for about 5 minutes, it helps in peeling them. I also peel them in the ice water. I gently crack the ends then the sides of the hard boiled eggs outside of the of the iced water, then peel them in the ice water. Your fingers are cold but the eggs 90% of the time are good.

[@patricialee1477]

Removing egg shells is made easier if the water is boiling before the eggs are submerged, When the eggs are cooked, pour off the hot water and gently shake the pan to slightly crack the eggs.. Now slide them into the ice bath. Slightly cracking them allows the ice water to get between the egg and shell and lifts the shell away. The key though is to have the water up to a boil before adding eggs. Hope this helps. Happy Easter! Love your channel.

I love dill! I recently bought a large bag from Amazon because I got tired of running out. I nearly always use it when cooking chicken. It's great with various salad dressings, tartar sauce, potato or pasta salad etc. As for Hard-boiled eggs, I really don't think there's the ideal way of peeling. I always cook and peel the same way, but, it's still hit or miss. To boil them, I start out by covering the eggs with cold water, bring just to a boil, lid on, remove from heat and leave covered for 15-20 minutes. Then I peel them under running water.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

We love dill too. I will add it to so many recipes.

Loving ur hacks with jiffy mix definitely going to try them all. I use jiffy mix to make a chilli corn dog dish. So good . Recipe: 1 box of jiffy mix, ingredients to make corn bread , pkg of hotdogs (chopped) , 2 cups grated cheese ,2 cans chilli of choice (I use wolf brand), sour cream if desired. mix as instructed , stir in chopped hotdogs, add 1/2 cup grated cheese. Pour into a lg casserole dish spayed with cooking spray, cook as directed on pkg. Once done remove from oven and spread 2 cans of chilli covering all the corn bread, top with remaing cheese add more if desired , pop back in oven to heat chilli & melt cheese Maybe 3-5 min depending on how melted u want ur cheese, keep a close watch as not to burn ur cheese. add a dollop of sour cream if desired. ENJOY!. Very easy to down size , ( I do as it's just 2 of us ), just cut all in half including jiffy mix and use a 8x8 pan. I use only 1/2 box of mix as we don't care for really thick cornbread but ur choice .

Hit them and crack the shell before you drain the hot water. Leave them in it for about 5 minutes. They peel alot easier.

Great tip!

[@brennankingsland6596]

Try using your air fryer and put eggs in ice bath for at least 5 minutes. Makes it a dream to fix deviled eggs. Depending on the wattage of your air fryer and the size of your eggs...250 - 270 degrees for 12 - 17 mins. The eggs don't need to be turned (you can cook up to 12 eggs at a time) but the shells will look speckled when done. The eggs will not be discolored. I make hard boiled eggs all the time now.

Kroger has a store brand chunky applesauce. I also make homemade applesauce in my instant pot. It’s really fast & you can decide how chunky you want it. This is the recipe I use for cinnamon applesauce. 3 pounds peeled; cored & rough chopped apples, they don’t have to be chopped perfectly 3/4 cup of water 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Combine ingredients & cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, natural release for 10 minutes You can smash the apples to get the consistency you like. You can skip the sugar & cinnamon if you want regular applesauce. You can swap out some apples for pears & leave out the sugar since pears are so sweet. My sister uses apple juice instead of water & leaves out the sugar. You can season before or after cooking. During strawberry season I make strawberry applesauce. You can use any apples you want depending on if you like your applesauce more on the tart(granny smith) or sweet(gala, honey crisp) or any combination. I usually use whatever I have on hand & adjust the sugar after cooking. You don’t have to add any sugar if the apples are sweet. This recipe is very easy to customize.

Did you know that eggs freshly laid don't make good hard boiled eggs? They are impossible to peel. I learned this when we pet sat for folks with hens. Always use older eggs for deviled eggs. Fresh from the nest are fine to bake with or scramble.we learned this the hard way. I live in a small condo and buy supermarket eggs. I bake a lot and use a lot of eggs. In summer I love having hardboiled eggs to use in salads and sliced for sandwiches. I boil from the older carton in the fridge and aim for medium hardness.I don't bother with an ice bath; just put them in a marked egg carton right into the fridge. Then peel as needed. The counter between my oven and fridge is the baking station. I keep a rectangular plastic box with 2 sticks of butter and 3 or 4 eggs at room temp. and handy. Mom taught me that square corners take up less space than round.

Great tips!! These eggs were actually 2 weeks old so I don't know what in the world the issue was.

Add a little vinegar to you water after it boils then drop eggs slowly into the boiling water with your slotted spoon

Steam them. Or put them into boiling water then turn to simmer. With either one cook 12 to 14 minutes. Then put in ice bath. Since doing either of these I have had no problem peeling eggs.

Instant Pot is the absolute best way to do hard boiled eggs. They come our perfect every time and peeling is a snap. Google has many ways to use instant pot for hard boiled eggs.
