I'm beginning to understand why people are willing to spend a lot of money for peeled hard-boiled eggs at the grocery store. They are perfect every time!

Just when I think I've got hard-boiled egg technique nailed down--boom! I've got another batch of egg salad instead of deviled eggs. Pesky shells simply will NOT slip off!

You don't need to tell me how. I'm just venting.

However, I've come to believe that it's the egg and not the cook that makes the difference. Same batch, same boil, different results from one egg to the next.

Cluck, cluck!
