Egg frying pan

 Been seeing these cute little frying pans with an egg on the handle for some time at department stores... as they were dang near as much as a full sized one saw no point in getting one.. Then we came across one at a dollar store... had to grab one now... LOVE it... makes a two egg omelette to perfection super fast.. Jorden was able to make us each one ( 4 plus one made with a goose egg ) in less time than it normally to make one.. even browning, bits of cheese fully melted through out....

How to peel fresh eggs

We get asked often how to hard boil fresh eggs so they can be easily peeled ( so posting again ) ... after trying many ... many ... and a few more ways the only sure fire way we have come up with is so easy...

 

add your eggs to cool water, bring to boil.. cook for the hardness you want .. ( I add a touch of salt.. keeps the eggs from spilling out if one should crack while cooking )

 

For Large eggs:

• Soft-cooked yolk 4 to 5 minutes
• Medium-cooked yolk 6 minutes
• Hard-cooked yolk 17 minutes

For Medium eggs:

• Soft-cooked yolk 3 minutes
• Medium-cooked yolk 5 minutes
• Hard-cooked yolk 12 minutes

while boiling get a bowl/sink of ice cold water ready.. here in the desert ice melts too fast and cold tap water doesn't happen except in the dead of winter.. so I freeze water bottles and place in a sink full of water...

 

move the eggs straight from the boiling water to the ice water.. LEAVE until cooled off

then peel

 

These eggs are right out of the coop.. not even hours old
