Deviled Egg Tricks

What's the trick for Deviled Eggs?

There are two tricks for making perfect Deviled Egg recipes. The first is to properly hard-boil the eggs so that they peel well without blemishes in the egg white. The biggest trick I use is to use regular white eggs that have been sitting in the fridge for at least a week. The older the eggs, the less of a bond the egg protein has to the shell, allowing it to peel easier. Follow my instructions below to boil the eggs after that.
The second trick is to use a piping bag to re-fill the eggs. Once you mix the egg yolk mixture, you can put it into the bag and easily refill the eggs with ease. It's what makes it look pretty too! They are inexpensive to buy, but a great tool to have in the kitchen. You can also take the filling from the bowl with a spoon or a plastic bag, but the piping bag is easier and makes the top pretty.

Is it better to make deviled eggs the day before or the day of?

I think deviled eggs are best made right before a party. If you need to make them ahead, you can make the recipe up to where you pipe the yolk mixture back into the eggs a day ahead. When you are ready to serve the eggs, pipe the yolk mixture in and add the decoration. You can assemble the entire deviled egg anywhere from 12-24 hours before your party. I would not assemble them before that though.

How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs:

All of these best deviled egg recipes, start with the perfect hard-boiled eggs. Here are a few ways to make them.

Hard Boiled Egg Cooker: I adore my DASH hard-boiled egg maker. It takes ALL of the guesswork out of hard-boiled eggs and makes perfect ones every time. My kids even love to make them with me this way. If you have struggled to make hard-boiled eggs at home, buy this gadget. It's less than $30 and worth it!
Stovetop: You can also make hard-boiled eggs on your stove. Start by putting the eggs in a larege pot and covering them with water. Once the eggs are in the water, bring the pot to a full boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle boil or simmer. Let them simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 3-4 minutes before removing and peeling.
Instant Pot: The instant pot is another untraditional option. Cook them for 8 minutes under high pressure. Do a quick release and transfer them to cold water to stop the cooking process. Also, let them sit for 3-4 minutes before removing and peeling.
