TIPS ON MAKING HARD BOILED EGGS: 4-19-03
Don't boil fresh eggs. Need to be older eggs. Put in cold water. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn off burner, leave set until cool. Boiled egg is heavier than raw egg if you want to find out which is which.
Put eggs in pan and cover with water. Put on burner on medium heat. When they boil, put lid on and turn off burner. Let set for 25 to 30 minutes. Put under cold water and peel eggs right away. In Betty Crocker cookbook.
If you boil fresh eggs, after you cool them, roll them on the counter to loosen the shell and it will be easier to peel.
ZIPPY DEVILED EGGS 4-19-03

¼ cup mayonnaise
3 tbsps. chili sauce
1 tsp. mustard

Tip for deviled eggs, put yolks and other ingredients and mix until smooth. Put into the corner of a bag like a pastry bag, and fill the whites. 4-19-03
Tip for checking freshness of an egg, if you put the bottom in water and it leans to the side, it's fresh. If it lays at an angle, it's 3 days old. If it stands on its end, it's 10 days old. 4-19-03
