People say that on every thread, but that’s a bad idea! Think about it, Level One will like everybody’s food. Level Two will only like Level Three’s food. Level Three will hate everyone’s food! It would end in hurt feelings. This way, they only eat their own dishes and are happy!!

@@Heartwing37 I don’t think so. Sure, Desi will like them all. So will Emily because they aren’t putting snobs with such refined palates on here that they can’t enjoy the basics most grew up with (they’ve just found more than one way to devil an egg, that’s all)… the pro will obviously know everyone starts hungry and makes things catering to what they know and the taste that they love, and all three versions would be, so long as Desi doesn’t contaminate the filling putting the fork back in after tasting for sharing, enjoyed by them all. The pro can give some simple “let’s get your eggs a little more stable so you don’t lose any albumin shot glasses” tips and tell him a simple way or two that won’t take more effort but can elevate the taste… but no one I’ve met who can eat eggs at all doesn’t like em deviled though I’m sure some “hot eggs only” people exist out there (I do pity those with allergies! Deviled eggs were something I ate a couple dozen halves of every holiday as a kid; that and stuffed mushrooms my family made were my protein more than the actual main dish though I enjoyed the ham, too, just in far smaller portions since it was salty and I’d already eaten a thousand calories by the time the bird and pig were ready lol).

As a Level 1 chef myself, I appreciate how Epicurious makes cooking seem approachable by not only including a Level 1 chef into things like this, but also for making decisions like promoting Emily to Level 2. I like seeing someone whose cooking skills I think I could match (or beat) making things that are a bit fancier than what I've dared to try - it encourages me to expand my cooking horizons.

The eggscution was pretty eggstra as well.

As someone who loves hard-boiled eggs, I never thought to steam them before. Thanks, Josh! Also I typically just use cold water, but ice sounds even better. When I think of deviled eggs I think of head to tail cuts. Desi just showed me something new with the across-the-waist! Though his cutting and scooping techniques remind me too much of how it is for me half the time I try to make deviled eggs. Everyone's eggs look delicious, but I'd ask for a big glass of milk to go with Josh's.

I heard about steaming eggs several years ago and it's definitely a great way to cook them. Peel easily, cook consistently, no big pot of water to dump.

We love Emily as level 2 but she will always be the Ketchup girl in our hearts❤

“Well we all know the Devil likes heat, so we can’t make Deviled Eggs without Hot Water” 🔥 bruh 😂 great way to start the Cooking 🙌🏻😂

Emily, if you see this, I hope you don't mind the ketchup comments. I love seeing them because it reminds me of just how far we've all come. Congrats on level two!

Honestly I never had these and I may try them out. Emily's recipe looks nice. My mom made something similar but she fried some mushrooms on the pan until browned and then blended them with yolks, then stuffed the eggs back. Very nice.

Love deviled eggs. Can't wait to see the various techniques. I also enjoy seeing how Emily has grown in the series.

emily leveled up. gains a talent point. selects deviled eggs specialization.

Emily did the best job plating!

I’ve always done the plastic bag for the piping but I never thought to use the bench scraper to get all the filling up in tip, that was so satisfying because you don’t waste any, can’t wait to try that next time!

I love Rose!! Thanks for bringing the science and insights to cooking ❤️

Congratulations Emily. I think all of the Epicurious viewers are proud of your growth in the culinary arts.

I grew up not liking deviled eggs… but I found a recipe I thought I’d like, so now I like sour cream and cheddar cheese deviled eggs. I like the taste of sour cream better, and the thicker consistency it creates. Having deviled eggs with some cheese or bacon makes a great breakfast or lunch.

Love the seasoning combinations in josh's eggs!! my mouth was watering imaging the spicy creamy flavors

This cast was great! 🎉

No comparison between the chef and the two others. He's on another level!!

Yum....i would love to have 3 of each😊

that level 3 one looks sensational

Brad Leone has entered the chat lol Serious note though, poke an itty bitty hole in the end of your egg - will peel like a dream consistently. Aioli is pounded garlic with oil drizzled in and an egg yolk - mayo is oil whipped with egg yolk (you can then add in garlic or herbs or anything)

EMILY DONE GOT PROMOTED!

I like the level 3 chef.. As an instructor his explaination are easy to grab on...

If you're going for 70s British devilled eggs use salad cream as a binder for your egg yolks.

Lots of great ideas. I will be trying Desi's addition of air fried bacon the next time I make these for my husband.

I usually prefer the Level 1 or Level 2 chef’s dish but in this case, I’m really craving those spicy deviled eggs!

desi's eggs remind me of the ones my mom used to make for holidays when i was growing up! they are perfect and ima cry

Ok but I actually like the idea of cutting the eggs to make it more like a cup. I maybe wouldn't do that if I was serving a group, but for myself it means more filling.

I put serrano peppers on deviled eggs- so I'm the genius, chef. I also put a spot of avo mousse on the bottom of the egg before filling, fried prosciutto strip on the top, micro cilantro, poppy seeds on top. I'm proud of my deviled eggs.

My absolute favorite hack for Deviled Eggs is adding shredded pepperjack cheese to the filling. I did it on a lark one year for Thanksgiving and now it's pretty much a requirement for my family 🤣

YESSS EMILY I STILL GET SO EXCITED SEEING HER AT A LEVEL 2 AHHHHH

I love the look of those cured yolks! I have to try that one day.

Congratulations Emily so proud of you 😊👏

Met Desi headed to Tampa a year ago and he's literally as sweet as he is funny. I am DEFINITELY going to make Chef Josh's version at some point during the holidays

Emily has gotten a promotion over the last video I watched. Congratulations.

Congratulations Emily!

usually I poke the eggs with a pushpin to make a tiny hole before boiling. This helps with peeling the shell after they are cooked

6:50 Pork Rinds, Excellent!

I would love to see this same competition, but they all have the same budget … like 15 bucks . And then do a blind taste test

Interesting challenge!

Emily levels up but Josh, the level 3 chef feels like level 5 or something in this deviled egg, all his techniques are different and much more advanced.

I liked the little cannons on top. Perfect for 4th of July.
