"This is the method I use and it always works perfectly. Another hint...If you are making deviled eggs, or a dish where it is important the yolk be centered...try this trick...while the eggs are still..." See more in the carton, place a rubberband or two around the carton and place in refrigerator on its side. Leave on side overnight prior to cooking and you will have perfectly centered yolks every time!"
