I ran across a blurb on a food forum that said laying the eggs on their side for a day or two before boiling would center the yolks so I gave it a try recently.
Damned if if it doesn't work......or at least is did on the half dozen or so pickled eggs that I've had from my last batch.

It doesn't matter much for pickled eggs or egg salad but I can see where it might be helpful when making deviled eggs.

Anybody else do this?

Yup on the side thing for awhile, like a few decades.

The leaving them on the counter for a few days was new, learning about it a few weeks ago here.

Sounds like we should have talked a couple of decades ago because that's about how long I've been leaving them out for three or four days but this is new to me.

Haven’t don’t the side deal Charlie, but it makes sense.

Irish Grandmother did the side thing since I was a kid in the 70's. She made killer deviled eggs with ham. I spent alot of time in the kitchens of my Grandmothers when not bothering my Grandfathers in their garage/workshops.

Lots of these tips and tricks for everything not just cooking I run across now that are new to might also only be due to the fact that Im forgetting alot of stuff and rediscovering it again. Also 1990 to 2016 was balls to the wall in my life and Im sure lots of schitt got over written on the old Ram Memory.

Now that we have the yolk thing figured out, what needs to be done for a perfect peel. What really works?

My darling want's to know.

Salt in the water and cool immediately with cold water.....or steam them instead of boiling

Steam really works. About 14 minutes, them out and put in ice water. The yolks stay bright yellow instead of that dull greenish color.

That’s why they leave them out of the fridge.

One day minimum. Two is better. Three is optimal.

Pressure cooking eggs has made the most dramatic difference in ease of peeling for me.

Update........the yolk was not centered in the pickled egg I had with my lunch today.

It was number eight of twelve.......four to go.....we'll see.

Put them in a pot ABOVE the boiling water. A metal colander in a spag pot would work. Use a lid.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try.

Steaming is the only way to go for hard boiled eggs.
