Only people from the northeast have a clue what a real hard (Kaiser) roll even is!

We always had them as kids . Might be a German heritage thing too . Haven't had them in a long time though .
I do love me some egg salad .

Our mom & pop grocery store has a small bakery & deli. The make those roll also.

Centered might be the wrong word but looking to get the side portion a little more thicker.

I had some eggs still in the cartoon from last week . Figured I'd try the flipping over for the night thing .
Did 8 eggs . Had one crack in it . 6 peeled nice . One didn't .
Anyway , this is what I ended up with .

Towards the one end . Not sure I would mess with it unless I was making a bunch of Deviled eggs to take somewhere .

Carton rubber banded and parked on side (90deg) 24hrs+. 555 Instapot. Happy with all but one (bottom) and I think it's because I didn't let it settle in place before slicing. Brown mustard seed, WP, nutmeg, melted butter, white vinegar, and mayo hit with a dusting of NM red chile.

Best? IDK. Better might be the better word for it. Got the 90deg idea from Alton Brown. These were definitely an improvement. One handers for sure. So glad I didn't rush and make an impulse buy on an egg cooker!

Steaming is the best method I have found, easy and perfect every time.

Steaming cooks eggs more gently, yielding easy-to-peel "hard-boiled" eggs with tender whites.

270F for 16 minutes in a air fryer. Peeled with no problem. Nothing fancy or any extra steps to get a perfect hard boiled egg.

The yolk isn't completely cooked and the top of the egg looks weird?

I am sticking to my method that works perfect, every time, and I do not need any extra appliances cluttering up the place...

LOL
It might look weird but was perfect and tasted perfect. Not sure what your looking for as for a presentation but its a fricken egg. They are all different depending on size and temp.

Hey I copied this from your link...

• Placing eggs into a pot full of steaming water cooks them evenly and gently, with less risk of cracking, than dropping them into simmering water.
• Chilling the eggs immediately after steaming ensures that they come out perfectly shaped, with no air-space indentations on their fat ends.
• Steaming the eggs and peeling under running water makes for easy, divot-free peeling almost every time.

Interestingly enough there is a video on your link page and the guy says exactly what I concluded about what makes eggs easy to peel!!!

Holy Crap... it worked. Time will tell if this is the cure to my egg woes. I've tried a few different "hacks" for boiled eggs. Some failed the first time, others had inconsistent results.
I used the CI dutch oven hoping the thermal mass would help with temp recovery. I only did 4 eggs (slightly past the date on the box) and they weren't enough to hardly slow the boil.
I think someone mentioned tender whites ? I thought "what the heck, they're egg whites, when are they not tender ?"
Well I got egg on my face (pun intended). I had never had eggs like these. The whites were more tender and the yolks were... will not sure what to call them. Fluffy ? Flakey ? Creamy ? They were unlike any I've ever had before. Almost a whole new food. Of course peeling was all I could hope for.
I might have to revisit the Amish pickled eggs if these results prove repeatable.

You all are gonna cause a run on eggs! Lol But I sure could use some deviled eggs now!
I have one of the best contraptions for making hard boiled and deviled eggs... never had a bad one yet... it's called my wife!
But since we have 2 steamer pots like Chris, gmc2003 uses I might just try that sometime.

Ha I'm the same way. The wife usually makes ours. Although we do steam sometimes. I think you mean C Coreymacc . I believe he's the one that mentioned he uses the veggie steamer. I was the anchovies guy.
