How Hard is a Hard Boiled Egg?

For the lucky people who make perfect hard boiled eggs every time, you can ignore this section. However, I fall into the other category. I have tried several gadgets and gimmicks but still fail to cook a decent hard boiled egg. As I prepared myself for the Paula Deen deviled egg challenge, I ran across this simple video. I followed it carefully. I succeeded.

The Final Result

Paula Deen Deviled Eggs

Here we are. Compare the pictures below. Chef ManCave - the computer geek from Detroit versus Paula Deen - the Mother of Southern cooking. No doubt who the victor will be but hopefully my efforts will score a few points with the judges. What is important to see though is that even kitchen challenged people can create these tasty appetizers.

I am in the midst of doing a Paula Deen tribute. Every weekend, I make one or two Paula Deen recipes. It usually starts with going to the store and buying more butter!!!

Oh! Deviled eggs!!! And home made over some fancy-shmancy TV chef any day, even if you did follow her recipe.

I have always preferred a touch of mustard. I will tell you that the sweet chili relish was a big winner. It is much more expensive than regular sweet relish but it certainly gave my eggs a nice "kick".

What did you think of "my results"? Good, bad or indifferent?
