Steaming Fresh Eggs

The hardest thing to do with fresh eggs is to peel them after they've been hard boiled.  Fresh eggs taste wonderful and are a beautiful sight but they are next to impossible to peel!  I came across a blog I follow religiously called Fresh-Eggs-Daily by Lisa Steele.  She has been my biggest source of inspiration and has generously offered her advice time and time again when brooding and caring for my ducks and chickens.

This is Lisa's method, and I swear by it as well.  It has never failed and is as easy as can be! Simply steam them!  I had no idea you could steam an egg to hard boil it!  The knowledge I have gained from the networking of other homesteaders and hobby farmers is amazing!  

To steam eggs:

1. Rinse your eggs in warm water (you can use eggs you just collected that morning, if you want) and place them in the top of the steamer.  

2.  Steam for 20 minutes and then plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water until they are cool enough to peel.

VOILA!  DONE!  How easy is that?!?!  

I encourage you to check out Lisa's blog as well, and see what for delicious recipes and knowledge she has to share!  Thanks for choosing Little Lane Farm!

Until next time...
