As a Southern American woman who has been making Deviled Eggs over 40 yrs I'm so stinking proud of y'all!!! A little less mayo & drain the relish just a tad & that will tighten those yolks up. But for a first try... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
wouldn't you love to see there reaction to a Sunday Church lunch pot luck/buffet where all the ladies bring their special dishes and try to out do one another.
Or better yet, leave out the relish. Much better with a little garlic and a small touch of horseradish. Deviled eggs are meant to be savory not something you could eat for dessert.
@@hippiemama52 that is what is so great about deviled eggs, the variety and most people love them. When I’m in a hurry and have a boiled egg in the fridge, I just spread a little mustard on it. Gives the illusion of a deviled egg.
There were 24 people at my parents house for Thanksgiving. I made 3 dozen (72 halves) deviled eggs and all I took home were the plates I had them on!!!
Yes my wives devilled eggs are considered a family treasure and the weird thing is she doesn’t eat eggs just makes them but they are delicious plus’s we use fresh eggs from our chickens not sure of the difference but delicious
Bold try, but without yellow mustard from America you can't match the flavor properly... Dijon mustardis too bitter,,try to find French's yellow mustard
Now to really blow your minds! Using the exact same recipes with a touch more mayonaise, and instead of seperating the yolks from the whites, just slice the boiled eggs into thin slices, 5-7mm. Mix the eggs with everything else in a bowl and put it on bread or a roll, you have egg salad sandwiches!
@@reckyNcarolI don’t even need a party to make deviled eggs or egg salad sandwiches. Sometimes I will take 2 or 3 eggs and just make deviled eggs for lunch.
Agreed, Also same ingredients, but dice the eggs, add diced celery, and onion, drain some canned tuna fish mix well, put on bread, and enjoy yummy tuna sandwiches.
@manjisaipoe517 oh you could make potato salad, boil, peel, and dice potatoes, add diced onion, celery, and Dill pickles ( or sweet relish) , add salt , pepper, diced boiled eggs, mayo, and yellow mustard . Mix well. Yummy ! Usually made with pick nicks and BBQ's. Great with fried chicken and baked beans.
I KNOW, I KNOW! Like in the old Woody Woodpecker cartoons, when a character's eyes would pop out of their head in shock or delight. I'm the same though - there's no filter between my emotions & my eyebrows!
I have a beautiful green, pressed glass deviled egg plate that belonged to my grandma. I have no idea how old it is (grandma has passed) but it's at least from the 1960s if not older. It's a prized possession.
In the 19th century, the adjective "deviled" came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients. Glad Luciadagen!
I love deviled eggs. You both did a great job. You can also use the hard boiled eggs to make egg salad sandwiches. Smash the eggs with a fork, add salt, pepper, mayo, (mustard, olives, relish whatever). Spread on bread of your choice.
Are there any other American kids that grew up in the 70's watching the Muppets that find a sweet connection between Recky and the Swedish Chef on that show? I just can't stop seeing them in my head when I watch these videos. 😂😂
Well I was only watching it in the 90s because of my children but growing up in the 70s I definitely watch them with the swedish chef and his swedish meatballs
@RE-bg9ds It's so funny, but my fat fingers hit the 9 instead of the 7, and I meant for it to say the 70's! I didn't realize I screwed up until just now! I was born in 1971, and I'm sure we watched every single episode. My parents watched with us, of course, so it was definitely different than early morning cartoons that we almost always watched by ourselves. I think my dad laughed more at the Muppets than we did. 😊 The Swedish chef was just priceless. We knew exactly what he was trying to say, didn't we? They sure knew how to make 'em back then...
Kinda feel like ideally you leave them in the fridge and take them out like 15 minutes before serving so they're still slightly cold. Good at any temp but hot though.
My mom once accidentally made them with chili powder instead of paprika. If anyone out there makes them that way on purpose, I apologize, but it was awful. 😅
Agreed. This is one of those simple recipes that has dozens of "secret" variations and customizations that people have to make the dish their own. Small tweaks with ingredients and/or techniques can create subtle but really enjoyable differences in the dish.
That's how I mix my eggs, no dirty bowls. Just zip it closed, pound it all together, slide it along the edge of the counter to force it all to one corner, snip & squeeze.
It seems like in the past couple of weeks everyone has tried their hand at making Deviled Eggs for the first time: Mr H & Friends, the Beesleys, Andre the European and other non-Americans. 😮
In case anyone doesn't know, Andre lives in Portugal. His channel is called European Reacts. The recipe he tried today is Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup.
As a midwestern native we always serve them chilled. Basically you make them a day in advance get them well chilled and then put them on a table of food people snack on.
It's amazing how everyone claims the "like" deviled eggs until you put out 2 dozen of them, turn away for 3 minutes and *poof*......gone...."where'd the eggs do"....."I dunno, I had one..."...."one huh, yea, sure you did buddy".
By some weird chance there are leftover deviled eggs, (hardly EVER happens!) I chop them up, mix them up, maybe add a little more mayo if needed. Such a comfort food.
When I make deviled eggs I always make about an extra dozen....or 2. They always mysteriously disappear 🤷🏻♀😂 Great job for your first try! As others have said in the comments...try it with plain old yellow mustard...maybe drain the relish a bit...and definitely let them chill for awhile in the fridge next time. Have them.whenever you want...holidays, bbq's, picnics, baby showers....Americans make them.for every and any occasion!
Good job! Deviled eggs always go quickly at any gathering. Everyone makes them slightly differently to suit their own preferences. I like dill relish and a bit of yellow mustard in mine and a sprinkle of paprika on top. I also use the same mix to do egg salad sandwiches in summer, just without the paprika.
Recky and Carol. Damn it. You two are like a black hole of goodness and love. You keep sucking me in on these videos when I should be being productive. cheers and Merry Christmas !!!!
Next time, spoon your egg yolk mixture into a Ziplock bag, cut off the corner of the bag, and squeeze (pipe) the egg mixture into the whites. So much faster and easier than using a spoon and absolutely zero mess. Great job and the eggs look delicious. Happy Holidays and God Bless.
Out of all the people i see trying American recipes, the two of you are among the few who do it perfectly the first time. Bravo! If you want to spice the deviled eggs up a little, try replacing the relish with a little horseradish, and/or some curry powder.
@@reckyNcarolmay I suggest three video ideas First non vid just had to say your missing a playlist for this siries of Swedish couple try’s food Second try and make some home made eggnog it’s amazing tho it’s something some people love and some hate it depends on the person Third try and make chicken and dumplings Fourth try and make biscuits and gravy I actually made some for my brunch today lol You gotta make everything from scratch tho no pre made biscuits XD
Same! Except our family adds a touch of vinegar to the yolk, mayo and mustard. I usually make them the night before and let them set overnight in the fridge. I can't wait for Christmas partly for the deviled eggs, lol.
My sister makes the best deviled eggs; she uses a touch of vinegar in hers and mixes the yolk mixture with a hand mixer to make them super smooth and creamy! Yummmmmm, y’all did a great job on them and glad you loved them ❤❤
Deviled eggs (Devoured eggs), are a family favourite that has actually been made less often since family gatherings are smaller and less often!😢 Something that simple should not be so good!❤😊
I've been watching such a long time...long before Carol joined Recky on videos. Carol, you are such a delightful addition and we love watching you both!! I know how hard being in front of the camera is (I avoid them at all costs.) The deviled eggs looked good. By the way, your bread looks amazing...I've just be venturing into sour dough breads.
Deviled is a culinary term that means spices added. Deviled Ham is used as a sandwich spread or for making hors d'oeuvres and it's made by adding mayo, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and vinegar to very finely chopped ham and mixing it together into a uniform consistency meat paste for spreading. It's almost basically the same as ham salad. You can also add other ingredients and spices to yours if you like. Some folks like to put chopped onion, celery and pickle relish in theirs.
Actually, the Yams, are the orange ones, the sweet potatoes are the Yellow ones, but, I think they taste pretty much the same.But really a lot of people consider both of them as Sweet Potatoes.
Western NC here. My favorite deviled egg recipe is. Yellow mustard Pickle Relish or diced pickled jalapeño peppers. Salt pepper And a little white vinegar for the tangy bite. Mixing and tasting for the perfect taste. Sprinkle with paprika on top. Sometimes a few drops of hot sauce on top of them. Good job for your first attempt. 👏👏👍👍 The white vinegar is key.
Salt, pepper, Miracle Whip, Apple Cider Vinegar, Yellow prepared mustart, & a tad of sugar. Sprinkled with Paprika. Your recipes are on point! I would eat those,,,👍 ♥️..WELL DONE..♥️
Miracle Whip is not mayo and not a good substitute for other recipes calling for mayo. However, there are people who prefer it. It's called 'salad dressing' and has a distinct 'tang'. I prefer MW on American cheese sandwiches, sometimes on a burger and saltine crackers every now and then.
Your new kitchen is amazing! Y’all are lucky. I think Carol loves to cook, right? I could tell by Carol’s voice that she was itching to get in there with you, Recky, to help. 😂 Deviled ham is a potted/canned meat that has the consistency of hummus. I love it, but it’s not super healthy to eat on a regular basis. If you want a less runny yolk mixture, drain the relish well. Y’all did a fantastic job! Congratulations on a job well done. ♥️ From Houston, Texas 🇺🇸
The way I make mine is easy. Eggs, relish, mayo, a touch of mustard, pepperika . There are just so many ways to make this. Im not crazy about Hienz brand relish. But thats ok. Y'all did great❤
I am a country girl and When I make my Deviled eggs, I use just sweet pickles. When using them, I lay them on a paper towel to soak up the liquid, then cutting them into small pieces. Using less mayo and Dijon may help to make it a tighter filling for your eggs, but otherwise you did quite well. Great job y’all. Love to Watch your videos. Sending Y’all prayers for good Health and happiness Always from the U.S🇺🇸
Fill the eggs? Simple, use your spoon. Scoop out, turn spoon upside down and fill the egg. You may like a bit of Dill pickle instead of Sweet. Both are compatible.
I have to cook 2 doz eggs which gives you 48 deviled eggs when I make them every holiday to make up for the ones stolen while I cook the rest of the meal. If you take the boiled eggs and just chop them all up in small bits then add the same ingredients you just used you will have egg salad which is put on bread for a delicious lunch. Oh and make sure you make more eggs to go with your bbq! It’s cookout necessity here.
Steam the eggs for 14 minutes, plunge in ice water. Mix the yolks with Kewpie mayo, coarse Dijon and a wee bit of horseradish - to taste. Spoon back into the whites, sprinkle with sweet paprika or Old Bay, then top with 1-2 capers.
I grew up on deviled eggs. Mom had one recipe and my grandmother had a different one, so I always got two different tasting ones. It was such a great add on when we would have holiday meals. There are tons of different recipes for the filling out there. A lot of family recipes handed down. I'm glad you got to finally have some. Will you make it for your parents to try? I'm sure it would be something they might like to try. LOL.
We have devil eggs at Thanksgiving and other holidays we do mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper. When I was a kid, my mom used apple cider vinegar, miracle whip dressing,, salt and pepper ,loved them, she's been gone 220 years, I cook some of her dishes, but they don't taste the same, but good memories,. Thank you for your videos so in enjoy them. Hi, from Oregon
I am strong-armed into bring deviled eggs to any work pot luck for years because my old boss liked them so much! I use 3 kinds of mustard (dijon, brown and yellow), along with a splash of lemon juice and worcestershire sauce, along with some dried parsley along with your ingredients. It's quite a production. My husband has shelling hard boiled eggs down to a science.
Recky and Carol, Very good job on the Deviled eggs. Deviled ham is a form of processed meat. As far as the candles, there's a tradition in Appalachian mountains where you keep a candle in the window, it's said that if the spirit of Christmas flies by it'll know there's love in the house.
Yep deviled eggs would be an appetizer you make the day before Thanksgiving stored in the refrigerator along with the cut up vegetables, olives etc as appetizers, while waiting for other guests to arrive with their side dish offerings. My side dish was homemade noodles with chicken. I'm the sweet relish lover 🙂
❤ My family and I love you guys. Great job both of you. Love how you appreciate our culture and share yours with us. Ignore the trolls. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Deviled dishes are sharp and spicy. Mustard, pepper, horseradish, hot sauce, etc. It is highly seasoned. Deviled ham is ham that is minced and mixed with sharp ingredients. Mayonnaise plays a role, too. It has the creamy emulsified base that Americans expect in deviled dishes. The mayo carries all the different sharp flavors very well and it gives the dish the texture/“mouth feel” that we expect.
I was wondering if those were Advent candles! My mom was from Germany (Leipzig) and we always had an Advent wreath (Adventskranz). We lit ours in the evening and sang German and English carols every week until Christmas Eve. We still do the wreath, but the family composition has changed and we don’t do the singing anymore. It’s a lovely memory from my childhood. I am glad you liked the deviled eggs. There are probably a thousand variations, so do them the way you most enjoy them.
What a great way to celebrate St. Lucia's Day! So happy to see y'all making deviled eggs. They are an iconic appetizer in the southern USA. Anything goes on/in the eggs. Shrimp and caviar would be great, adding the bacon and relish (I prefer dill relish) together, great. They would be a wonderful addition to your Christmas table. Again, thanks for the video.
Aloha! This is my first time seeing your new house/kitchen...it's lovely! I love deviled eggs. The first time I saw it made, it was on a tv show (when I was about 11-12). I watched the show, and then immediately went into the kitchen and made my very first batch using the notes I wrote as I watched the show (no VCR/DVR/rewind back then). So delicious! My single-father dad and my siblings were very pleased.🤙
I make my base for the yolks with mayo, sour cream, dash real cream, pepper, scant salt, few drops any mustard 1. curry spiced batch with olives 2. salmon or whitefish with dash dry mustard powder & dash dill. Always paprika on top 😁 Love your holiday decor!
I like to add finely chopped onions and celery to my deviled eggs. Adds a nice little crunch to it. You always have to make extra because these things disappear - or give everybody a limit - 2 per person! 😂
Good job. Recky did it right. Down the hatch in one bite. I prefer the plain type without relish or bacon. And French's yellow mustard. I love mustard and ate the fancier brands for decades then a while back I was shopping and French's called to me. It was so tasty and became my current favorite. Serve deviled eggs with slices of meat, sausage, ham, etc. various crackers and some pickles and veg pieces. Assorted cheeses. Delicious.
Usually, relish has water in it. You can dry in on a paper towel first, or you can add more yokes for the relish type. It's a personal thing, but I prefer dill relish instead of the sweet, salt, paprika, with bacon pieces. This is a great activity over the holidays to involve the children and give them something to do.
You gotta make more than you think you need because it is difficult to stop eating them.We love you guys so much.You know you are honorary Americans don't you.I do have to tell you tho,you both do so well it really is a cooking show(and we love it)
I LOVE Deviled Eggs. I'm kind of boring, I like mine with mayo, salt, pepper and paprika on top. (Keep in mind, I do like other tastes/foods but a couple of years ago, I had bilateral parotid gland tumors removed [benign]. They removed most of either gland due to the size, position and other factors about the tumors. The parotid glands reside around and in front of the ears, although the tumors had also wrapped around behind my ears as well, TMI, I know, sorry. Their function is to help break down foods for digestion in providing saliva. Without going into huge detail, they also affect taste. So, many sharp tasting foods taste off the chain sharp to me, some foods are lessened in taste as well, so my taster is 'off' and I'm affected by that. For example: mustard, even plain mustard is just about too much for my taste buds yet I LOVE mega sour candy. I can't hardly eat jalapenos but I can eat spoonfuls of Chinese Hot Mustard, the kind that absolutely sucks your breath away. It's just weird, hence I am weird. LOL) Your deviled eggs looked so good, and I'm glad you tried them.
@adiahaalexander9359 I suppose that is possible. However, capsaicin is in items such as chili powder and paprika, both of which I tolerate well and love. So, I don't know what the answer is. It is interesting. Not sure I could afford to go down that rabbit hole with allergy testing to find out. Too, isothiocyanates are found in hot mustard and Wasabi and I love those, so I know it isn't that route. Idk, ty for your comment. 🤔 Interesting. 😊
While often used interchangeably, yams and sweet potatoes are distinct vegetables with different textures and flavors, where yams tend to be starchier and less sweet with a rough, bark-like skin, while sweet potatoes have smoother skin and a sweeter taste; in most American grocery stores, what is labeled as a "yam" is actually a sweet potato, and true yams are harder to find and usually only available at specialty stores
A nifty thing i did to make them fancier for my sister's bridal shower was to use a hand mixer to blend the yolk mixture till perfectly smooth, then took a little out to mix with green food coloring. I then filled two pastry bags with the mixtures and made yellow flowers in the egg halves, with green leaves, and a couple of capers for a burst of acidity and adornment. Highly recommend trying that out. It's only a little more complicated, and it's really pretty.
Pro-tip, when you're done doing things like mixing your seasonings into things, taste them after you're done because you might not have put enough in and you won't know until you're sitting down to eat if you don't taste things as you go.
These look fantastic. I am hungy for them now. I also enjoy versions of these with a bit or worshtishire sauce in the mix. Thank you for this. You two brightened my day. 😊
You guys did great! You two make a great team!❤ I love to see the reaction on Carol's face when she loves something 😍 I don't like mustard, so i just dont add it when i make the ones I'm going to eat. you can really add anything you like to it.
I would like to try the deviled eggs y'all's way as well. Love that apron, Recky. Sitting here watching this episode in my Santa suit before going to a Santa gig here in town.
Everyone's grandma had their own recipe. I don't think we ever wrote it down, which is a shame, but I think we all figured it out. The eggs kept us busy while Grandma cooked. We weren't yelling about being hungry, she always made about two dozen...her chickens were exhausted. 😘
I always take deviled eggs to church or family gatherings. There is so many ways to make this but my favorite is my Grandmothers way. 6 boiled eggs, shelled and cut in half. Remove yolk and add to yolk 2 Tbsps + 2 tsps Mayo 1 1/2 Tbsps Apple Cider Vinegar 1/2 - 3/4 Tbsp Sugar (depends on how sweet you like) 3/4 tsp Paparika Mix and fill empty shells, sprinkle with more Paparika. Serve or refrigerate. My husband likes to add any leftover deviled eggs to tuna to make a tuna sandwich.
Carol's description of their 'Swedish eggs' sounded pretty good, too! A time saver, too! "Just layer it on". Recky's 'oh so careful' approach to those eggs was hilarious. I've never seen eggs cut in half, done so delicately. It looked like cosmetic surgery! "Dr. Recky's Deviled Eggs" I split 18 eggs in the time he took for 4 eggs! And ALL the hand washing! I'm all for sanitation. It was funny to see, almost every time after each egg cutting. I know, 'it's not a cooking show'. Since Recky said he enjoy's the stories. I wanted to share a little history to ease your anxiety about Southern or Texas cooking. I was raised by Texas pioneer women who taught me, everything. There isn't much precise measuring in our cooking because they didn't have all the kitchen 'crap'/tools people have today. They just used a mug, a scoop or a bowl to 'eye ball' a 'guesstimate' of what ever amount was needed of wet or dry ingredients. Recipe need eggs? Warning, this could cause anxiety, Eggs vary in size depending on the animal providing the egg. Chicken egg, typically 50-55 grams. Duck egg, abt. 70 grams. Usually 2 rimes larger than chicken egg. Goose egg, abt 144 grams. Usually 2 times larger than the duck egg. Sometime so large, you can sub. 1 goose egg for 2-4 chicken eggs! Goose egg shell is very thick and hard to crack. (There are more birds who's eggs are edible) Chicken egg is the least nutritious of these eggs. Eggs are one of Natures most perfect foods. So if a recipe calls for 2 eggs, 'eyeball' it! We assume chicken eggs but you never know what those old pioneer women were using. They did leave recipes for us to decipher. I grew up eating all three eggs. Believe you me, duck and goose eggs are MUCH richer/better flavor, and more nutritious than chicken eggs. I haven't had them since I was a child. Forget about worrying about cholesterol. Natural cholesterol is fine. It's cholesterol in highly processed food that is bad for you. Pioneers - settlers (same as serfs) had to eek out a living. There wasn't time to have an anxiety attack about anything. (I have noted, the 1960's is when anxiety started affecting large numbers of people to the epidemic it is today.) No time for anxiety attack when you're trying to survive. They threw the foodstuff together and went on to the next job. The food was fabulous! Sorry, back to anxiety over measuring. Example; Bread recipe needs 5 or 6 cups of flour, use a mug and scoop out 5-6 cups from the flour bin. Depending on the weather AND your flour, WHO mills your flour, where the grain for flour was grown; flour absorbs wet ingredients at different rates so you have to adjust by the look and feel i.e., trial and error! Pioneers did all this cooking in sod huts and log cabins over open fires. Bread making was just another important daily necessity. A daily chore to be done. No time to fret over it. A tsp. of something? Cup one hand and pour the ingredient, eyeballin' the ingredient, judging by eye, until it looks right. Dump ingredient in bowl or pan then dust both hands over your bowl. A 'pinch' of something is trickier. A 'pinch' can be from 1/8th teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon depending on the cook! Trial and error. There is usually never a 'disaster'. It will always be edible. Back to Deviled Eggs: I take a 1/2 boiled egg in my hands, grasping by finger tips and thumbs Manipulate the egg half with your finger tips, pulling the white away from yolk while at the same time using both thumbs, pushing against the yolk, gently pop the yolk into the bowl. No need for a spoon. fork or knife to remove the yoke. You can go fast. You're not birthing a baby! Warm eggs are pretty delicate. Cold eggs are much tougher therefor easier to manipulate without tearing. Easier to fill when whites are cold My base mix is same as yours (mayo, mustard, salt, pepper & paprika) except; I ONLY use Hellman's Mayo. (I live in Texas) I use American Yellow mustard (cheapest is best-same for ketchup, cheapest) Always add a 'splash' of vinegar (gives the mix BITE/spice or "deviled" flavor along with the paprika & I use a lot of pepper) Depending on mood, Malt or red wine vinegar, white distilled or cider vinegar, Malt and red wine vinegar are my favorite. I have used rice vinegar but it is very mild. Sometimes I add a dash of garlic salt Lot of comments on which is better? Cold to set the mixture and serve or room temp.? Cold retards flavor. Cold is good to set the eggs, especially if you are transporting food or serving outdoors. Back in the 1920's-1960's when everyone, families and church groups, picnicked a LOT more than they do now; 'Mother's' were very concerned about leaving eggs or anything (like potato salad) with mayo out in the heat. Picnics were usually 3-6 hours or more, long affairs. Food poisoning is a failure for a picnic! Young people are not nearly as well informed about food safety as we were 'back then'. Use large shallow baking pans with a thick layer of ice under deviled eggs on water proof tray or plate to keep cold, Cover with plastic wrap or foil. Prepare same kind of ice bowl to keep potato salad cool, too. I prefer room temperature for best flavor. I don't get out anymore so I just chop the eggs, add everything, eat & enjoy. Makes a good sandwich, too. Deviled eggs 'stuffed' or chopped, never last long enough for me to worry about food poisoning! I really enjoyed your Thanksgiving feast NOT a cooking show!
I'm from the North Eastern coast of the U.S. My favorite version of these is with horseradish, (a third mayo, two 3rds horseradish), a drop of Tabasco and a generous sprinkling of Hungarian smoked paprika on top. delish!
In the culinary world, deviled means highly seasoned. In American home cooking, there aren't many rules. I went to a family Thanksgiving dinner that offered three different stuffings, one from mom, one from daughter, and one from daughter-in-law. All different and all delicious.
Deviled Eggs are family favorite. Little less mayo, sweet pickle relish drain a little juice off from spoonful before adding to mayo & mustard mixture. Important; after preparing Eggs cover lightly w/plastic and chill in fridge 1 hr. BEFORE CHOWING DOWN..YUM!
Hi guys. A good way to fill the eggs is scoop the mixture into corner of a plastic bag and cut a corner off and just squeeze to fill eggs. Good job either way.
I love deviled eggs with just mayo, relish, salt an pepper....one thing you can do is boil an extra egg and if you get the mixture too runny, you can use the extra egg (white and yellow) to thicken up your filling.❤
These are addicting! These are good little appetizers for parties, and really compliment charcuterie board. Always on the table when we cook out, barbecue any excuse is good!! You can make these the day before and refrigerate (if you can keep people out of them) then serve. Someone needs to send you a deviled eggs tray.
Deviled eggs are great year round. Recky, you did an amazing job on this one. I love mayo, so I would love your deviled eggs. They look so delicious. The culinary term "deviled" refers to a dish that is highly seasoned with spices. Your home is so beautiful. Well done.
As a Southern American woman who has been making Deviled Eggs over 40 yrs I'm so stinking proud of y'all!!! A little less mayo & drain the relish just a tad & that will tighten those yolks up. But for a first try... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I use a fork to "spoon" my relish out of the jar for deviled eggs and my tuna salad, etc..
I don’t like my stuff too wet so use less mayo. Right about using to much liquid from relish. Paprika is just decoration to me so rarely use it.
wouldn't you love to see there reaction to a Sunday Church lunch pot luck/buffet where all the ladies bring their special dishes and try to out do one another.
Or better yet, leave out the relish. Much better with a little garlic and a small touch of horseradish. Deviled eggs are meant to be savory not something you could eat for dessert.

I once did 6 dozen for a work reunion. I didn't get one.
Sounds about right. 😄

Deviled eggs are perfect year round. From holidays to appatizers for summer BBQ's!! Good job making them Recky!!
Bold try, but without yellow mustard from America you can't match the flavor properly... Dijon mustardis too bitter,,try to find French's yellow mustard
I had some Friday with a sandwich.
Now to really blow your minds! Using the exact same recipes with a touch more mayonaise, and instead of seperating the yolks from the whites, just slice the boiled eggs into thin slices, 5-7mm. Mix the eggs with everything else in a bowl and put it on bread or a roll, you have egg salad sandwiches!

Or if you have a little mix left over throw a can of early June green peas and have pea salad.

We even have deviled egg plates made especially for serving deviled eggs. Tupperware(plastic dishes) made to transport eggs to the picnic.
Yep I have a two-level carrying case

@@cyndib511 I’m old enough to remember those. Ours was clear.
The vintage ones are expensive
I have a clear glass deviled egg plate my sis gave me. No telling where she got it. She was going to throw it in the trash! but I rescued it.
In the 19th century, the adjective "deviled" came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients. Glad Luciadagen!
it also meant 'beaten together' or 'muddled,' as in 'bedeviled' = the ingredients are all deviled together
@@milemarker301in the food it's due to the English term of highly seasoned and spicy food it was the English mustard
I love deviled eggs. You both did a great job. You can also use the hard boiled eggs to make egg salad sandwiches. Smash the eggs with a fork, add salt, pepper, mayo, (mustard, olives, relish whatever). Spread on bread of your choice.
Are there any other American kids that grew up in the 70's watching the Muppets that find a sweet connection between Recky and the Swedish Chef on that show? I just can't stop seeing them in my head when I watch these videos. 😂😂
Omg I will never be able to unsee it now ❤ Chef was my favorite muppet! I think he definitely needs a shirt made 😂😂
Well I was only watching it in the 90s because of my children but growing up in the 70s I definitely watch them with the swedish chef and his swedish meatballs
I loved watching The Muppet show when I was growing up ,I remember a school trip to see where the show was made in Elstree studios in London
He was my favorite muppets too😂
@RE-bg9ds It's so funny, but my fat fingers hit the 9 instead of the 7, and I meant for it to say the 70's! I didn't realize I screwed up until just now! I was born in 1971, and I'm sure we watched every single episode. My parents watched with us, of course, so it was definitely different than early morning cartoons that we almost always watched by ourselves. I think my dad laughed more at the Muppets than we did. 😊 The Swedish chef was just priceless. We knew exactly what he was trying to say, didn't we? They sure knew how to make 'em back then...
You have to let the Deviled Eggs sit in the fridge for about an hour to 'Set' (makes them Firmer)
If they last that long ;-)
Nope, like mine best when first put together and a little warm.
Ewwwww. No not room temp must be cold and set even better if sit all night!
Kinda feel like ideally you leave them in the fridge and take them out like 15 minutes before serving so they're still slightly cold. Good at any temp but hot though.
@@klondite1621 Definitely love them fresh and warm!
This is a great recipe to customize. Some people like it creamier, some chunkier. The base is the same, but there is no wrong way to make them 🎉
My mom once accidentally made them with chili powder instead of paprika. If anyone out there makes them that way on purpose, I apologize, but it was awful. 😅
Agreed. This is one of those simple recipes that has dozens of "secret" variations and customizations that people have to make the dish their own. Small tweaks with ingredients and/or techniques can create subtle but really enjoyable differences in the dish.
Tip: place the egg mixture in plastic bag and push to one end. Snip the end of the bag and the squeeze the mixture into the egg white
If you had actually watched the video, Carol actually says "they won't be using piping."
That's how I mix my eggs, no dirty bowls. Just zip it closed, pound it all together, slide it along the edge of the counter to force it all to one corner, snip & squeeze.
It seems like in the past couple of weeks everyone has tried their hand at making Deviled Eggs for the first time: Mr H & Friends, the Beesleys, Andre the European and other non-Americans. 😮
lol we follow the same people. André reaction was so fun. I thought he was going to start jumping up and down over his biscuits and gravy.
@imfirehawk72 how many times do you think Andre says "my friends" during an episode? 😂 He did a fantastic job with those biscuits.
I have noticed that too😂
Andre also did biscuits and gravy. I laughed so hard I was in tears.
In case anyone doesn't know, Andre lives in Portugal. His channel is called European Reacts. The recipe he tried today is Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup.
As a midwestern native we always serve them chilled. Basically you make them a day in advance get them well chilled and then put them on a table of food people snack on.
"...Snack..."? More like "Put them on the table, turn around for a second and they're gone!"
This seems like an impossible scenario, how can there possibly be any left the day after ????
It's amazing how everyone claims the "like" deviled eggs until you put out 2 dozen of them, turn away for 3 minutes and *poof*......gone...."where'd the eggs do"....."I dunno, I had one..."...."one huh, yea, sure you did buddy".
Sooooo true!!! They’re like the covert secret code that everyone just seems to know. 😂😂😂😂❤
lol..
😂😂 my daughter in law makes a couple dozen eggs 'cause there's only 3 of us that like them. 😋😋 That's plenty to share😊
Three naps for Thanksgiving, one after deviled eggs, one after the main sit down and one after the pies. +4 pounds
@@roniboyd613😂😂😂😂
CAROL, ignore the haters. BLOCK THEM and move on. There will always be some a hole that has to post negative crap. The rest of us like you :)
If you haven't tried an egg salad sandwich, you will LOVE IT if you enjoy the eggs!
By some weird chance there are leftover deviled eggs, (hardly EVER happens!) I chop them up, mix them up, maybe add a little more mayo if needed. Such a comfort food.
@@kentmarsh6442 Weird chance ??? No, total improbability.
When I make deviled eggs I always make about an extra dozen....or 2.
They always mysteriously disappear 🤷🏻♀😂 Great job for your first try! As others have said in the comments...try it with plain old yellow mustard...maybe drain the relish a bit...and definitely let them chill for awhile in the fridge next time. Have them.whenever you want...holidays, bbq's, picnics, baby showers....Americans make them.for every and any occasion!
Well yellow mustard isn't a thing here it is dijon for us 😅
@@reckyNcarol dijon is a delicious mustard.
i only make mine with a little mustard, miracle whip, salt and pepper to taste, paprika sprinkle on top
I make mine exactly the same.
Same. Miracle whip already has more vinegar and sweetness to it than mayo.
I am a miracle whip person too!
miracle whip is sadness :(
Same here except I add sweet relish.
Love you guys from the U.S.A.
Good job! Deviled eggs always go quickly at any gathering. Everyone makes them slightly differently to suit their own preferences. I like dill relish and a bit of yellow mustard in mine and a sprinkle of paprika on top. I also use the same mix to do egg salad sandwiches in summer, just without the paprika.
Do you have a different mix for egg salad sandwiches in winter ???
@DaveBrazda-b4f no, I'm just weird and only eat them in summer. In winter, I go for lots of hot soup, not cold egg salad sandwiches.
@Karen__kamadu We are lucky to have choices.
Deviled eggs were invented so Grandma and Granpa could get some protein around the holidays with lots of flavor and zero teeth!
I make ours with mayo, mustard, a touch of vinegar, salt, pepper, bacon, green onions, and a splash of hot sauce! Yummy for sure,
Instead of vinegar try the juice from a pickle jar..
I love deviled eggs. Especially with bacon bits. Yours look perfect! Great job!
Recky and Carol.
Damn it. You two are like a black hole of goodness and love. You keep sucking me in on these videos when I should be being productive.
cheers and Merry Christmas !!!!
Greetings from Tampa, FL Great video. Recky looks absolutely marvelous in his Ohio State t-shirt. Go Buckeyes!
It's American food, put in them whatever you want! That's what we do. So glad you enjoyed them. :)
Deviled eggs are normally eaten chilled. Every gathering has deviled eggs and they always disappear!❤
True!
And I think flavor improves as it sits in the fridge for a couple of days
Next time, spoon your egg yolk mixture into a Ziplock bag, cut off the corner of the bag, and squeeze (pipe) the egg mixture into the whites. So much faster and easier than using a spoon and absolutely zero mess. Great job and the eggs look delicious. Happy Holidays and God Bless.
Out of all the people i see trying American recipes, the two of you are among the few who do it perfectly the first time. Bravo!
If you want to spice the deviled eggs up a little, try replacing the relish with a little horseradish, and/or some curry powder.
Yea so nice to see the American version of this dish
It is good seeing the American twist on this dish. If you want to make it a bit more potent go back to the early recipes and use colemans mustard
Once again, great job!
Thank you ❤️
@@reckyNcarolmay I suggest three video ideas
First non vid just had to say your missing a playlist for this siries of Swedish couple try’s food
Second try and make some home made eggnog it’s amazing tho it’s something some people love and some hate it depends on the person
Third try and make chicken and dumplings
Fourth try and make biscuits and gravy I actually made some for my brunch today lol
You gotta make everything from scratch tho no pre made biscuits XD
😂😂i love how Carol calls yams jams😂😂
In Swedish, a Y is pronounced like an English J and J’s are pronounced like English Y.
I wondered about that!! 🤣
It's a free-form recipe. I've flavored them with everything from sweet relish to curry powder. Good job!
I've never put relish in my deviled eggs. Usually just a mix of cooked yoke, mayo and mustard with a small pinch of paprika on top.
Yes.. they added too much, in my opinion.. A little bit goes a long way. If left out it's not a problem.
@@creinicke1000we add a little Pickle juice in ours. Only problem is that there are never enough. Delicious.
Same! Except our family adds a touch of vinegar to the yolk, mayo and mustard. I usually make them the night before and let them set overnight in the fridge. I can't wait for Christmas partly for the deviled eggs, lol.
That’s all I like too, except leave out the mustard out.
Exactly the way my family makes😅 em. Sometimes a garnish is added. Something green chives, Maybe even Coriander. Most times not.
My sister makes the best deviled eggs; she uses a touch of vinegar in hers and mixes the yolk mixture with a hand mixer to make them super smooth and creamy! Yummmmmm, y’all did a great job on them and glad you loved them ❤❤
Deviled eggs (Devoured eggs), are a family favourite that has actually been made less often since family gatherings are smaller and less often!😢 Something that simple should not be so good!❤😊
I've been watching such a long time...long before Carol joined Recky on videos. Carol, you are such a delightful addition and we love watching you both!! I know how hard being in front of the camera is (I avoid them at all costs.) The deviled eggs looked good. By the way, your bread looks amazing...I've just be venturing into sour dough breads.
Always an American Holliday favorite, even good for a summer BBQ in the backyard.
They came out looking good
Deviled is a culinary term that means spices added. Deviled Ham is used as a sandwich spread or for making hors d'oeuvres and it's made by adding mayo, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and vinegar to very finely chopped ham and mixing it together into a uniform consistency meat paste for spreading. It's almost basically the same as ham salad. You can also add other ingredients and spices to yours if you like. Some folks like to put chopped onion, celery and pickle relish in theirs.
He can see everything in the yard and the birds flying around. Pretty kitty
Actually, the Yams, are the orange ones, the sweet potatoes are the Yellow ones, but, I think they taste pretty much the same.But really a lot of people consider both of them as Sweet Potatoes.
Western NC here. My favorite deviled egg recipe is.
Yellow mustard
Pickle Relish or diced pickled jalapeño peppers.
Salt pepper
And a little white vinegar for the tangy bite.
Mixing and tasting for the perfect taste.
Sprinkle with paprika on top.
Sometimes a few drops of hot sauce on top of them.
Good job for your first attempt. 👏👏👍👍
The white vinegar is key.
You two are precious people ❤, love from Georgia . Thank you for loving our food .
Salt, pepper, Miracle Whip, Apple Cider Vinegar, Yellow prepared mustart, & a tad of sugar. Sprinkled with Paprika. Your recipes are on point!
I would eat those,,,👍
♥️..WELL DONE..♥️
I live alone and will make one just to chop up on my iceberg lettuce salad
Miracle Whip is not mayo and not a good substitute for other recipes calling for mayo.
However, there are people who prefer it.
It's called 'salad dressing' and has a distinct 'tang'.
I prefer MW on American cheese sandwiches, sometimes on a burger and saltine crackers every now and then.
Your new kitchen is amazing! Y’all are lucky. I think Carol loves to cook, right? I could tell by Carol’s voice that she was itching to get in there with you, Recky, to help. 😂
Deviled ham is a potted/canned meat that has the consistency of hummus. I love it, but it’s not super healthy to eat on a regular basis.
If you want a less runny yolk mixture, drain the relish well.
Y’all did a fantastic job! Congratulations on a job well done. ♥️ From Houston, Texas 🇺🇸
The way I make mine is easy. Eggs, relish, mayo, a touch of mustard, pepperika . There are just so many ways to make this. Im not crazy about Hienz brand relish. But thats ok. Y'all did great❤
Pepperika? Do you mean paprika?
A simple food that gets easier the more you make at once, and a perfect appetizer for dinner gatherings. Nobody can have just one!
I am a country girl and When I make my Deviled eggs, I use just sweet pickles. When using them, I lay them on a paper towel to soak up the liquid, then cutting them into small pieces. Using less mayo and Dijon may help to make it a tighter filling for your eggs, but otherwise you did quite well. Great job y’all. Love to Watch your videos. Sending Y’all prayers for good Health and happiness Always from the U.S🇺🇸
Fill the eggs? Simple, use your spoon. Scoop out, turn spoon upside down and fill the egg. You may like a bit of Dill pickle instead of Sweet. Both are compatible.
I prefer to use a ziploc with a piping attachment. Much easier and less mess.
I have to cook 2 doz eggs which gives you 48 deviled eggs when I make them every holiday to make up for the ones stolen while I cook the rest of the meal.
If you take the boiled eggs and just chop them all up in small bits then add the same ingredients you just used you will have egg salad which is put on bread for a delicious lunch. Oh and make sure you make more eggs to go with your bbq! It’s cookout necessity here.
Steam the eggs for 14 minutes, plunge in ice water. Mix the yolks with Kewpie mayo, coarse Dijon and a wee bit of horseradish - to taste. Spoon back into the whites, sprinkle with sweet paprika or Old Bay, then top with 1-2 capers.
What a great video! Such an American staple and seeing your enjoyment. Great job, Recky, on your "Not a Cooking Show."
It's a great British dish loved in the USA
I grew up on deviled eggs. Mom had one recipe and my
grandmother had a different one, so I always got two different
tasting ones. It was such a great add on when we would have
holiday meals. There are tons of different recipes for the filling
out there. A lot of family recipes handed down. I'm glad you got to
finally have some. Will you make it for your parents to try? I'm sure
it would be something they might like to try. LOL.
We have devil eggs at Thanksgiving and other holidays we do mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper. When I was a kid, my mom used apple cider vinegar, miracle whip dressing,, salt and pepper ,loved them, she's been gone 220 years, I cook some of her dishes, but they don't taste the same, but good memories,. Thank you for your videos so in enjoy them. Hi, from Oregon
Y'all should try Shoofly Pie. It's kinda like Pecan Pie without the pecans.
I am strong-armed into bring deviled eggs to any work pot luck for years because my old boss liked them so much! I use 3 kinds of mustard (dijon, brown and yellow), along with a splash of lemon juice and worcestershire sauce, along with some dried parsley along with your ingredients. It's quite a production. My husband has shelling hard boiled eggs down to a science.
Recky and Carol,
Very good job on the Deviled eggs. Deviled ham is a form of processed meat. As far as the candles, there's a tradition in Appalachian mountains where you keep a candle in the window, it's said that if the spirit of Christmas flies by it'll know there's love in the house.
I am a fan of deviled eggs and these were “eggcellent”. Great job guys!!!
Yep deviled eggs would be an appetizer you make the day before Thanksgiving stored in the refrigerator along with the cut up vegetables, olives etc as appetizers, while waiting for other guests to arrive with their side dish offerings. My side dish was homemade noodles with chicken. I'm the sweet relish lover 🙂
❤ My family and I love you guys. Great job both of you. Love how you appreciate our culture and share yours with us. Ignore the trolls. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Deviled dishes are sharp and spicy. Mustard, pepper, horseradish, hot sauce, etc. It is highly seasoned. Deviled ham is ham that is minced and mixed with sharp ingredients. Mayonnaise plays a role, too. It has the creamy emulsified base that Americans expect in deviled dishes. The mayo carries all the different sharp flavors very well and it gives the dish the texture/“mouth feel” that we expect.
😂 I had to run to the kitchen and boil some eggs! 🎼 can't get enough of those deviled eggs 🎶😁
I was wondering if those were Advent candles! My mom was from Germany (Leipzig) and we always had an Advent wreath (Adventskranz). We lit ours in the evening and sang German and English carols every week until Christmas Eve. We still do the wreath, but the family composition has changed and we don’t do the singing anymore. It’s a lovely memory from my childhood. I am glad you liked the deviled eggs. There are probably a thousand variations, so do them the way you most enjoy them.
Deviled eggs all year through ♥ Looks great. Although I never used Dijon. I use American yellow mustard.
I like Gulden's spicy brown, but it all works ;)
Good job on the eggs. Your house looks so festive and beautiful!
What a great way to celebrate St. Lucia's Day! So happy to see y'all making deviled eggs. They are an iconic appetizer in the southern USA. Anything goes on/in the eggs. Shrimp and caviar would be great, adding the bacon and relish (I prefer dill relish) together, great. They would be a wonderful addition to your Christmas table. Again, thanks for the video.
Aloha! This is my first time seeing your new house/kitchen...it's lovely! I love deviled eggs. The first time I saw it made, it was on a tv show (when I was about 11-12). I watched the show, and then immediately went into the kitchen and made my very first batch using the notes I wrote as I watched the show (no VCR/DVR/rewind back then). So delicious! My single-father dad and my siblings were very pleased.🤙
I make my base for the yolks with mayo, sour cream, dash real cream, pepper, scant salt, few drops any mustard
1. curry spiced batch with olives
2. salmon or whitefish with dash dry mustard powder & dash dill.
Always paprika on top 😁
Love your holiday decor!
I like to add finely chopped onions and celery to my deviled eggs. Adds a nice little crunch to it. You always have to make extra because these things disappear - or give everybody a limit - 2 per person! 😂
True.
Happy Saint Lucia day Recky, Carol, Malte and Meja!
Good job. Recky did it right. Down the hatch in one bite.
I prefer the plain type without relish or bacon. And French's yellow mustard. I love mustard and ate the fancier brands for decades then a while back I was shopping and French's called to me. It was so tasty and became my current favorite.
Serve deviled eggs with slices of meat, sausage, ham, etc. various crackers and some pickles and veg pieces. Assorted cheeses. Delicious.
Usually, relish has water in it. You can dry in on a paper towel first, or you can add more yokes for the relish type. It's a personal thing, but I prefer dill relish instead of the sweet, salt, paprika, with bacon pieces. This is a great activity over the holidays to involve the children and give them something to do.
You gotta make more than you think you need because it is difficult to stop eating them.We love you guys so much.You know you are honorary Americans don't you.I do have to tell you tho,you both do so well it really is a cooking show(and we love it)
Always do twelve eggs. Put the plate down, turn your back - and they are all gone. We eat them year-round.
I LOVE Deviled Eggs. I'm kind of boring, I like mine with mayo, salt, pepper and paprika on top. (Keep in mind, I do like other tastes/foods but a couple of years ago, I had bilateral parotid gland tumors removed [benign]. They removed most of either gland due to the size, position and other factors about the tumors. The parotid glands reside around and in front of the ears, although the tumors had also wrapped around behind my ears as well, TMI, I know, sorry. Their function is to help break down foods for digestion in providing saliva. Without going into huge detail, they also affect taste. So, many sharp tasting foods taste off the chain sharp to me, some foods are lessened in taste as well, so my taster is 'off' and I'm affected by that. For example: mustard, even plain mustard is just about too much for my taste buds yet I LOVE mega sour candy. I can't hardly eat jalapenos but I can eat spoonfuls of Chinese Hot Mustard, the kind that absolutely sucks your breath away. It's just weird, hence I am weird. LOL) Your deviled eggs looked so good, and I'm glad you tried them.
Sounds like ur body can't handle capsaicin. But I'm pretty sure there's no capsaicin in Chinese hot mustard which is probably why you can tolerate it
@adiahaalexander9359 I suppose that is possible. However, capsaicin is in items such as chili powder and paprika, both of which I tolerate well and love. So, I don't know what the answer is. It is interesting. Not sure I could afford to go down that rabbit hole with allergy testing to find out. Too, isothiocyanates are found in hot mustard and Wasabi and I love those, so I know it isn't that route. Idk, ty for your comment. 🤔 Interesting. 😊
While often used interchangeably, yams and sweet potatoes are distinct vegetables with different textures and flavors, where yams tend to be starchier and less sweet with a rough, bark-like skin, while sweet potatoes have smoother skin and a sweeter taste; in most American grocery stores, what is labeled as a "yam" is actually a sweet potato, and true yams are harder to find and usually only available at specialty stores
I enjoyed this. I liked you sharing your traditions. I need to watch the Thanksgiving video.
A nifty thing i did to make them fancier for my sister's bridal shower was to use a hand mixer to blend the yolk mixture till perfectly smooth, then took a little out to mix with green food coloring. I then filled two pastry bags with the mixtures and made yellow flowers in the egg halves, with green leaves, and a couple of capers for a burst of acidity and adornment. Highly recommend trying that out. It's only a little more complicated, and it's really pretty.
Pro-tip, when you're done doing things like mixing your seasonings into things, taste them after you're done because you might not have put enough in and you won't know until you're sitting down to eat if you don't taste things as you go.
These look fantastic. I am hungy for them now. I also enjoy versions of these with a bit or worshtishire sauce in the mix. Thank you for this. You two brightened my day. 😊
You guys did great! You two make a great team!❤ I love to see the reaction on Carol's face when she loves something 😍
I don't like mustard, so i just dont add it when i make the ones I'm going to eat. you can really add anything you like to it.
So glad that you tried this. It's such an easy British dish to make and you can always put a twist on it
I would like to try the deviled eggs y'all's way as well. Love that apron, Recky. Sitting here watching this episode in my Santa suit before going to a Santa gig here in town.
Everyone's grandma had their own recipe. I don't think we ever wrote it down, which is a shame, but I think we all figured it out. The eggs kept us busy while Grandma cooked. We weren't yelling about being hungry, she always made about two dozen...her chickens were exhausted. 😘
You did a good job with those deviled eggs! And thank you for sharing a little about your Christmas traditions. That was so lovely.
I always take deviled eggs to church or family gatherings. There is so many ways to make this but my favorite is my Grandmothers way.
6 boiled eggs, shelled and cut in half. Remove yolk and add to yolk
2 Tbsps + 2 tsps Mayo
1 1/2 Tbsps Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 - 3/4 Tbsp Sugar (depends on how sweet you like)
3/4 tsp Paparika
Mix and fill empty shells, sprinkle with more Paparika. Serve or refrigerate.
My husband likes to add any leftover deviled eggs to tuna to make a tuna sandwich.
My favorite deviled egg is just a plain one with salt & pepper and a touch of paprika sprinkled on top. Love those!
Carol's description of their 'Swedish eggs' sounded pretty good, too!
A time saver, too! "Just layer it on".
Recky's 'oh so careful' approach to those eggs was hilarious.
I've never seen eggs cut in half, done so delicately.
It looked like cosmetic surgery!
"Dr. Recky's Deviled Eggs"
I split 18 eggs in the time he took for 4 eggs!
And ALL the hand washing!
I'm all for sanitation.
It was funny to see, almost every time after each egg cutting.
I know, 'it's not a cooking show'.
Since Recky said he enjoy's the stories.
I wanted to share a little history to ease your anxiety about Southern or Texas cooking.
I was raised by Texas pioneer women who taught me, everything.
There isn't much precise measuring in our cooking because they didn't have all the kitchen 'crap'/tools people have today.
They just used a mug, a scoop or a bowl to 'eye ball' a 'guesstimate' of what ever amount was needed of wet or dry ingredients.
Recipe need eggs?
Warning, this could cause anxiety,
Eggs vary in size depending on the animal providing the egg.
Chicken egg, typically 50-55 grams.
Duck egg, abt. 70 grams. Usually 2 rimes larger than chicken egg.
Goose egg, abt 144 grams. Usually 2 times larger than the duck egg.
Sometime so large, you can sub. 1 goose egg for 2-4 chicken eggs! Goose egg shell is very thick and hard to crack.
(There are more birds who's eggs are edible)
Chicken egg is the least nutritious of these eggs.
Eggs are one of Natures most perfect foods.
So if a recipe calls for 2 eggs, 'eyeball' it!
We assume chicken eggs but you never know what those old pioneer women were using.
They did leave recipes for us to decipher.
I grew up eating all three eggs.
Believe you me, duck and goose eggs are MUCH richer/better flavor, and more nutritious than chicken eggs.
I haven't had them since I was a child.
Forget about worrying about cholesterol. Natural cholesterol is fine. It's cholesterol in highly processed food that is bad for you.
Pioneers - settlers (same as serfs) had to eek out a living. There wasn't time to have an anxiety attack about anything. (I have noted, the 1960's is when anxiety started affecting large numbers of people to the epidemic it is today.)
No time for anxiety attack when you're trying to survive.
They threw the foodstuff together and went on to the next job.
The food was fabulous!
Sorry, back to anxiety over measuring.
Example; Bread recipe needs 5 or 6 cups of flour, use a mug and scoop out 5-6 cups from the flour bin.
Depending on the weather AND your flour, WHO mills your flour, where the grain for flour was grown;
flour absorbs wet ingredients at different rates so you have to adjust by the look and feel i.e., trial and error!
Pioneers did all this cooking in sod huts and log cabins over open fires.
Bread making was just another important daily necessity.
A daily chore to be done. No time to fret over it.
A tsp. of something?
Cup one hand and pour the ingredient, eyeballin' the ingredient, judging by eye, until it looks right. Dump ingredient in bowl or pan then dust both hands over your bowl.
A 'pinch' of something is trickier.
A 'pinch' can be from 1/8th teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon depending on the cook!
Trial and error.
There is usually never a 'disaster'. It will always be edible.
Back to Deviled Eggs:
I take a 1/2 boiled egg in my hands, grasping by finger tips and thumbs
Manipulate the egg half with your finger tips, pulling the white away from yolk while at the same time using both thumbs, pushing against the yolk, gently pop the yolk into the bowl.
No need for a spoon. fork or knife to remove the yoke.
You can go fast. You're not birthing a baby!
Warm eggs are pretty delicate.
Cold eggs are much tougher therefor easier to manipulate without tearing.
Easier to fill when whites are cold
My base mix is same as yours (mayo, mustard, salt, pepper & paprika) except;
I ONLY use Hellman's Mayo. (I live in Texas)
I use American Yellow mustard (cheapest is best-same for ketchup, cheapest)
Always add a 'splash' of vinegar
(gives the mix BITE/spice or "deviled" flavor along with the paprika & I use a lot of pepper)
Depending on mood, Malt or red wine vinegar, white distilled or cider vinegar,
Malt and red wine vinegar are my favorite. I have used rice vinegar but it is very mild.
Sometimes I add a dash of garlic salt
Lot of comments on which is better?
Cold to set the mixture and serve or room temp.?
Cold retards flavor.
Cold is good to set the eggs, especially if you are transporting food or serving outdoors.
Back in the 1920's-1960's when everyone, families and church groups, picnicked a LOT more than they do now;
'Mother's' were very concerned about leaving eggs or anything (like potato salad) with mayo out in the heat.
Picnics were usually 3-6 hours or more, long affairs.
Food poisoning is a failure for a picnic!
Young people are not nearly as well informed about food safety as we were 'back then'.
Use large shallow baking pans with a thick layer of ice under deviled eggs on water proof tray or plate to keep cold, Cover with plastic wrap or foil. Prepare same kind of ice bowl to keep potato salad cool, too.
I prefer room temperature for best flavor.
I don't get out anymore so I just chop the eggs, add everything, eat & enjoy. Makes a good sandwich, too.
Deviled eggs 'stuffed' or chopped, never last long enough for me to worry about food poisoning!
I really enjoyed your Thanksgiving feast NOT a cooking show!
I'm from the North Eastern coast of the U.S. My favorite version of these is with horseradish, (a third mayo, two 3rds horseradish), a drop of Tabasco and a generous sprinkling of Hungarian smoked paprika on top. delish!
The eggs look yummy. Always one of my favorite things to eat. I remember my Mom making them when I was young in the early 1950’s.
In the culinary world, deviled means highly seasoned.
In American home cooking, there aren't many rules. I went to a family Thanksgiving dinner that offered three different stuffings, one from mom, one from daughter, and one from daughter-in-law. All different and all delicious.
Deviled Eggs are family favorite. Little less mayo, sweet pickle relish drain a little juice off from spoonful before adding to mayo & mustard mixture. Important; after preparing Eggs cover lightly w/plastic and chill in fridge 1 hr. BEFORE CHOWING DOWN..YUM!
Hi guys. A good way to fill the eggs is scoop the mixture into corner of a plastic bag and cut a corner off and just squeeze to fill eggs. Good job either way.
I love deviled eggs with just mayo, relish, salt an pepper....one thing you can do is boil an extra egg and if you get the mixture too runny, you can use the extra egg (white and yellow) to thicken up your filling.❤
These are addicting! These are good little appetizers for parties, and really compliment charcuterie board. Always on the table when we cook out, barbecue any excuse is good!! You can make these the day before and refrigerate (if you can keep people out of them) then serve. Someone needs to send you a deviled eggs tray.
15:25 If you pour the spice in your hand, then rub your hands together over the food the spice will be even...just a little trick.
Deviled eggs are great year round. Recky, you did an amazing job on this one. I love mayo, so I would love your deviled eggs. They look so delicious. The culinary term "deviled" refers to a dish that is highly seasoned with spices. Your home is so beautiful. Well done.
