Easy Peel Boiled Eggs

Peeling boiled eggs used to be a pain. And I admit I had even been suckered into buying those Eggies "never peel a hard boiled egg again" plastic thingies which did not work for me at all.  A cooking instructor finally shared his secret: STEAM!

Rice cooker method:

- Place 2 pieces soaked kitchen paper in rice cooker, add eggs, turn cooker on.

- Remove 2 minutes after the switch clicks off.  

- Immediately "shock" eggs in cold water bath.

- Tap egg gently all over with metal spoon.

- Start peeling from base where air pocket is, and get under the membrane.

- Dip egg in water occasionally to help things along.

Or simply steam over a rack for 9 minutes for soft yolk, 12 minutes for hard yolk.
