Tip of the day

Every wonder why egg shells don't always come off easily after being hard boiled? It's because of the membrane. It's what holds the egg together. To remedy this, first off, don't over cook the eggs. Get an egg timer if you're not sure. Second, once they are done, drain off the hot water and add cold until they eggs are cool. Give your pot a shake to break the shells while you cool them off. This allows some of the cold water in to help loosen the shell. Finally if you know you're going to be making deviled eggs, try buying the eggs a week a head of time so they have some time to "age" and loosen up!
