Are hard boiled eggs unhealthy?

I eat about 8-10 whole eggs a day. I love my eggs, but I've been warned by dietitians that eating a lot of eggs everyday can potentially form an egg allergy.

For what it's worth, my mom's uncle owned a hatchery on a farm when I was growing up and he and his wife both ate 10-12 eggs a day. They both lived well into their 90's and died of old age with no cholesterol problems or allergies.

Ha. I love stories like this.

Good stuff ;)
 
Anybody that dislikes peeling boiled eggs should get a steamer of some sort and steam eggs. It seriously makes peeling eggs a breeze. And you don't get the shell stuck to the egg so you end up throwing away a whole layer of egg white. One of my favorite things ever now that I have one.

I ate way fewer boiled eggs before I got the steamer because peeling em is a chore. Steamed eggs I just tap em on the bottom since i found that is generally where the best air bubble is (especially in farm fresh eggs) and then the shell peels off like nothing.

I add baking soda to the water then when I'm done boiling put them in ice water...they peel pretty easy

I have never tried the baking soda but I have tried the ice water, and it didn't work as well as the steamer for me.
 
I think the trick to making hard boiled eggs that are easy to peel is to not overcook them. Steaming definitely works!

I've always wanted to try a higher-fat diet where I was stuffing myself with hard-boiled eggs all day inbetween meals. Think I might give this a shot soon.
 
I've never tried steaming shelled eggs before. :) Let's hope they don't cause that... gas problem after eating them haha.

My latest brekkie obsession are poached eggs, on toast. I been getting really fresh eggs from a farm near where I live, and they always turn out great!
