Did you know freshly laid farm eggs can be almost impossible to peel if you hard boil them?
Here is the solution.
Steam them instead.
note: ( your time may vary so test an egg by plunging it in cold water peel and open to see the yolk is done)
- Place one layer of eggs in an empty 4 quart saucepan till they are cozy. I was able to put in a dozen eggs.
- Fill the pan of eggs with 1" of water
- Bring to a soft boil then cover with a lid. Steam chicken eggs for 15 minutes and duck eggs for 17 minutes.
- Plunge into a bowl of cold water and ice cubes then peel.
I have found peeling immediately after steaming and plunging in ice water gives me the easiest peel.

I think I saw a cooking show where they steamed eggs. I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the book suggestion.
