Peeling hard boiled eggs (1 Viewer)

[Baloney Sandwich]

Any tricks to doing this easily? I've been eating a lot of them lately but I suck at getting the shell off.

 

[PatsWillWin]

No ####, I just hard boiled a few to bring to work as a snack. I'm terrible at it too.

Sorry for making you think there was a helpful response when you saw there was a new post.

The key is in how you prepare them (ice down after boiling).

Run cold water on them while peeling.

Run cold water on them while peeling.

Wouldn't that take all the fun out of burning your fingers while trying to peel off the hot shell?

 

[kupcho1]

Tap gently around the 'equator' of the egg with a butter knife. You really just looking to get some small cracking going. Not too hard

Next, roll the egg (gently) on a hard surface along the crack line.

Peel away the cracked egg shell along the equator

Most times the top and bottom shell will fall right off. If not, you can peel (toward the 'poles') the rest off.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

First, put them immediately into cold water. Next, crack a small hole into the top of the egg. Put the end with the crack into your mouth causing a complete seal and blow as hard as you can. You will hear a pop - and then peel - works great.

I have my egg guy take care of this. I'll ask him what he does.

 

[King of the Jungle]

1) Boil until done.

2) Drain water.

3) While eggs are in pan shake back and forth severely cracking the eggs.

4) Poor cold water in pan.

5) After a few minutes of cooling begin peeling.

This is the only consistent method I have found success with.

Yeah baby!

 

[Apple Jack]

buy them a four or five days before boiling. something about fresher eggs makes the membrane stick to the egg and is a huge pita to peel.

[McGarnicle]

You have to peel before boiling.

 

[Wingnut]

Add a bit of vinegar and salt to the water before boiling. Don't overcook. Let them cool slowly. Profit.

 

[cstu]

Steam the egg instead of boiling it - freaking shell practically falls off -

Boiling eggs is for the birds.

 

[tdoss]

Put the boiled egg in a cup...put enough water in to cover egg. Cover top of cup rather loosely with hand. Shake cup back in forth over sink real hard for about five seconds. Water will be gone...egg will slip out of egg shell like your mom out of her night gown when she hears I'm in town.

Switch to balut or boy eggs

Didn't read the replies but if you put a little baking soda in the water to start they peel very easily

 

[jamny]

Eggstracter!

 

[JoeSteeler]

No fail method

Put eggs in a sauce pan

Add cool water to cover the eggs by an inch or so

Add baking soda 1-2t

Bring to a boil

Take off heat, cover and let sit about 10-15 min

Dump hot water and fill with cold water +ice until eggs are cooled down

Perfect eggs that are very easy to peel!

This is the way my wife does it. She usually is making a dozen or 2 deviled eggs and it only takes her a few minutes to peel them all.

I always crack the eggs and soak in water, it seems to help with peeling.

This thread reminds me of the joke about the monkey and the cue ball.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

This actually works, but the egg comes shooting out faster than you'd expect, so be ready for it.

 

[MC Gas Money]

Thats what she said

 

[Binky The Doormat]

This is also an old wives trick for constipation.

 

[Jack White]

Depends on how you like your yolk. If you want then hard boiled so the yolk turns to yellow chalk, sure, peel 'em hot.

But if not, you want to shock them in an ice water bath (over at least cold running water for a minute) to stop them from cooking.

Buy them at the store peeled.

 

[skol asylum]

Don't eat hardboiled eggs. Ta da.

When you do have you ever thought about who peeled that egg?

...but only if you want to pay 10x the price of non boiled eggs.

After they're done boiling drain them and put in freezer for 10-15 minutes shells fall right off.

many of the other tips will help, but ultimately, it comes down to this.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Fresher eggs are better even if they're harder to peel.

 

[Jack White]

Fresher eggs are better even if they're harder to peel.

And fresh organic eggs are the best.

Some blanch at the $5.00 per dozen price tag, but 80 cents for quality, delicious protein is quite cheap when you really think about it.

Was just going to post this. Recently started steaming for 14 min. Place in ice bath to cool. Shell falls off. No joke. I read the theory is that some of the vapor enters the shell and lubes the egg. It works.

 

[E-Z Glider]

Fresher eggs are better even if they're harder to peel.

You can taste a difference between a 1-day old egg and a 5-day old egg?

Chit, I hold a chicken above the boiling water waiting for it to plop out. Those are the best.
