Kitchen Hint of the Day

If you know you will be making deviled eggs for an upcoming event, buy your eggs now.  Older eggs peel easier than fresh eggs.  You can better center the egg yolks in their shells by resting the eggs on their sides overnight (or for about 8 hours.) And, with a centered yolk, the cooked egg whites are sturdier to pick up and handle. I prop the eggs on their sides right in the carton overnight. You won't be able to close the lid, so just sit them on a shelf with a bit of clearance or cut the egg carton lid off first.
