Well it happened again....Why in the heck do some boiled eggs present such a problem when you try to peel them. Making my delicious deviled eggs is a pain in the rear many times. I bring to a boil. Turn them off. Let them set 10 mins. Then put in ice bath. I crack the shell all over.....then I start the peel on the flat end where the air pocket is located....sometimes it works...sometimes I'm a cussing the whole time and my eggs look like they have acne!!! Help Paula. I've got more eggs to make soon. Love you.

Paula, How do you clean your egg when you first get them from your chickens?

Have been reading this run on eggs- I'm an egg 'rancher'. Here's how you test an egg for freshness- get a bowl of fresh tepid water about 5-6 inches deep, enough for eggs to be covered by 4 in. 1-8 days old, an egg will lay on it's side. 9-14 days old, an egg will stand on it's end, still touching the bottom (THESE EGGS ARE PERFECT FOR BOILING) Most eggs are good for 4-5 weeks, but if you test them, and they float on top of water- TOSS THEM!!! To get a perfect boiled egg, easy to peel: Bring a pot with cool water- and eggs- not too crowded to a boil for acouple minutes. put a lep on it and turn off heat. Let sit for 10-15 min and then please in cold water. the shells will side off. Hope this helps

I have a question about refridgerating your eggs. I always do, thinking we are supposed to, but a friend of mine doesn't. She just leaves them on her counter. Is this safe? Thank you, (from a Texan) Love you and your show!

I was seriously considering raising a few of my own chickens for the eggs. Now that I've read your article I have no doubt. This spring we will have Lucy and Ethel as new family members "chics" !!!

Ok so how so you hard boil the eggs if you have chickens at home? I can't peel my hard boiled eggs from my personal chickens. I end up destroying most of the egg while trying to peel it.

Which egg is the best?

By bobbie on January 08, 2012

If an egg has a double yolk in it do I consider it as one or two eggs in my baking?

Brandy, Fresh eggs' shells are rough and chalky; old eggs are smooth and shiny.

I love your show. I love cooking with butter too. I once saw a show where you talked about measuring eggs as liquid. I want to know if I can use jumbo eggs in baking by measuring instead of always using large eggs.

By Joyce Sharpe on December 17, 2011

I was reading your FB page one day and you had a little note on how to tell if eggs were fresh or not...could you repost it somewhere...PLEASE thank you Merry Christmas to you and your family..

I enjoy nosing around your web site. While looking around your articles I checked out "Know your eggs". I was surprised you didn't note how to know when to throw out the eggs in the fridge and when it is ok to use them. I have always been told to put them in water and if they float - throw them out! If the egg stands on end at the bottom of the pan, they are getting old so use up quickly.

We used to raise chickens but when we moved we sold them. We weren't sure we could have them at our new house. Fortunately, we found out that we can have them and plan on getting some soon. I miss my chickens, I miss them following me around everywhere and I miss the eggs. We fed our chickens grain, corn and scraps. We have cats and they'd come up to the house and eat cat food along with the cats. They ate good and they laid the best eggs! I can't wait to have chickens again.

Hey Michael Turner! Paula likes to bake in the middle of the oven as she most always bakes in a convection oven and she wants the heat to circulate evenly around the dish.

DEAR PAULA; EVERY EGG I BUY AT THE STORE THESE DAYS ARE TERRIBLE. THEY HAVE THESE LITTLE LONG WHITE TAGS ON ONE SIDE AND A BIG WHITE GLOB ON THE OTHER. IT PUTS ME IN MIND OF AN UMBILICAL CORD AND THE GLOB IS LIKE THE AFTER BIRTH. LIKE HAVING A BABY. I PULL THEM OFF IF I CAN AND THEN THERE'S NOT MUCH YOLK LEFT. THEY DON'T LOOK VERY APPETIZING AT ALL. IT'S LIKE THEIR READY TO PUT IN AN INCUBATOR. ARE THEY REALLY SAFE TO EAT. VERY CONCERNED. I'M DISABLED AND LIVE ON VERY LITTLE MONEY, SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY THE MORE EXPENSIVE KIND.DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO RAISES CHICKEN'S TO GET FRESH EGGS. WISH I DID. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THEM.ANY ADVICE ON WHAT I SHOULD DO. SHOULD I TALK TO THE STORE ABOUT THIS?

I've been buying fresh eggs from a neighbor for about a year or so. I would like to know how to tell if one of these eggs is a bad egg? I have heard that if there is a hint of red in the egg-white, then not to use that egg? I would also like to know why the eggs you buy at the grocery store appear to be cloudy compared to the fresh eggs I buy from my neighbor? Thanks Sandy
