I cook them Th e same way. But I put The egg in a jar with a lid.and shake. She’ll falls off in jar.
That is what I do as well.
I will give this a go as my good lady hates peeling eggs with a vengeance
You make it seem easy.
I peel the boiled eggs using a teaspoon. Works like a charm! Just crack one end and use the spoon to take the peeling off.
Glad to see this. Was finally able to show my hubby how he should be doing his boiled eggs. Thanks.
Just prick one end before boiling and the peels practically jump off themselves.
I know this works! I actually prick the end of each egg. Stand that end down on a circular rack (came with an electric egg cooker long gone) put 1/4″ cold water in bottom of pot, set on stove at high heat, time for 15 min, ,remove. and immediately run cold, cold water with ice cubes into that pot, Remove eggs, peel easily! or store in frig until you need ’em! No more cracked, open eggs!
Silly question maybe but, Prick egg with what? A pin
Prick the rounded end. Put in water & bring to boil. I let mine boil about 8 to 10 mins. Drain & rinse with cold water & crack
I have an egg pricker, but I’ve never used it. I think it’s from Tupperware and was meant to prick eggs being done in the microwave. Never heard of pricking them before boiling.
I’ve tryed every way possible for this! I’ll try to see if this works! 🙂
I simply add baking soda to the water. Makes them peel like a dream!
Teaspoon of baking soda added to water and eggs does absolutely work. Try it I was amazed no more crappy eggs to peel.
Does not work with fresh brown eggs
Works like magic! Horray! Beautiful eggs, everytime!
Going to try this on my fresh chickens eggs as the shell will not come off except in chunks with the white.
The fresher the egg the harder to peel!
Older eggs work best. Most eggs bought in the grocery are older eggs.
Can’t wait to try this. I’ve heard of using salt in the water but still have had times when the shell just doesn’t want to let go and the eggs look messy.
it work so good
Good information
Going to try this method !
I use the steamer that comes with my cookwear set
Thanks
The baking soda has worked before with store bought eggs. It does not work with fresh eggs we are now getting from our chickens. I will try this method and hope it works. I hate boiling eggs now because they are impossible to peel. Hope this works.
Only use older eggs, fresh don’t peel well.
Going to try it.
I will definitely try the vinegar. I’ve had good luck with baking soda.
Try peeling..starting at the pointed end
I steam…get pan filled with about an 1.5 inches of water. Sit steam basket in pan..put lid on..turn up heat get water boiling. Remove lid put eggs in basket..lid back on. Turn timer on to 12 min. Turn heat down to medium…when timer goes off..turn heat off…remove eggs to ICE water..after they have chilled remove shell. Makes no difference if farm fresh or store bought..easy peel.
I am going to try this. I have farm fresh eggs!
Good to know
I will be trying this method
Trying this today.
Worth a try.
well there are a few methods to try……..just find what works for you……..Happy Easter!
I cook mine 20 mins after full boil in salt water,drain water and shake eggs in empty pot then run cold water over them. Shells come right off.
I add about 2 Tbsp or more of salt to my water and they peel easy too
I DON’T HAVE ANY EGGS !!
LOL!
That is sad!
i add a little vegetable oil to the water band boil drain and put in ice water in pan then drain and shake the pan with lid on they slip right off
I am going to try the vinegar and salt seem to finally work for me because I have definitely had a hard time messing with eggs that don’t peel over but the vinegar and salt is what I use now
Very eggsistential.
lol
