Egg Piercer

 Learning new things, especially those things that help in the kitchen, makes me so happy. I was watching Homesteading with the Zimmermans today. I love her!



She showed this gizmo for poking a hole in the bottom of an egg (raw) before boiling it and that makes a tiny little pin hole in the bottom of the egg. Ruth Ann said it allows hot water to get around the egg and results in a super easy to peel egg. 

She showed it in action and it seemed to work perfectly. We no longer have Amazon Prime and I'm hoping Vince can make it through the Prime Days (or whatever they call the days with all the specials) without signing up for Prime again  . . though he told me today he could sign up for just two days. I hope he doesn't but . . anyway, Walmart had the same thing Amazon has and it was $2 less at Walmart and we get free shipping there too.

I can't wait to try this thing. I've tried "boiling" eggs in the Instant Pot, then submerging them in ice water and that helps but sometimes when I get eggs that were are so very fresh, the Instant Pot trick doesn't even work.

It will be a couple of days before the poker arrives (Thursday).  You can bet I'm going to make egg salad for sandwiches as soon as it arrives.

Here's the photo of our Azure haul. This evening's pickup was great. The truck was supposed to get there at 7. We got there about 6:...
