Monumental Discovery

When I visit others, in their homes – meaning any place where their guest room is larger than my City apartment, I volunteer to cook.  I love cooking and most hosts are only too glad to be relieved of the chore.  This weekend, down in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the little church in the hollow – Graves Mill Chapel – was having a service and a potluck. My host and I were slated to attend, so one of the items we would bring was deviled eggs – [check online for the most-asked-for-dishes-at-church-potlucks and that is a bigger].  So I tried something different to hard boil them.  Put a cup of water in a pot.  Put the veggie steamer in next and then placed the 12 eggs around the steamer.  Steamed for 10 minutes.  Lo and behold they pealed like nothing I had ever seen.  Clean, no sticking, and only rinsed them under cold water so they weren’t so hot to hold.  Tried it a second time and it worked again.  Two different ages of eggs.  Had never heard of this before and the egg is a better texture as well.
