boiled eggs

[Raina]

I have to second Hansel!! Fresh eggs are always a bitch to peel.

Another bit of info:

If you put the eggs in cold water and allow them to come to a boil..They WILL peel easier!

 

[EliteBB]

Vixenbabe said it all! Just put your eggs under cold water for a few minutes and they will peal off with ease!

You need to re-read what I wrote, EliteBB.

Most people put eggs into BOILING water...If you put the eggs into a pot of COLD water and allow them to COME TO A BOIL-THEY will peel easier for you!

First off I think it is the quality of the egg that makes them easier to peel also Large eggs don't peel so well so I buy mediums (I've found a brand that is easy to peel & I stick with that).

I also pickle mine in vinegar, so I only have to boil up a batch once every week, they don't taste too hot but they are easy and perfect for snacking.

The trick for me for peeling them easy is as soon as ur done boiling them put them in cold water rite away.

Works all the time for me........

Everytime I boil my eggs I have a had time peeling them too; however, my girlfriend cooks them and they peel without breaking into little pieces. She says that the trick is to not over cook them!

Boil water first / them cook for 10-12mins / let sit under running water and presto!

If this works, how about some positve karma!

Soak them in Cold water after cooking and the shell will come
off easy. COLD water..

I pickle mine in empty pickle containers with the vinegar and spices still in em..claussen pickles are the best for this

as a chef this is what i tell my apprentices
place eggs in cold water with copious amounts of table salt
( does not penetrate the shell)
bring to a boil and and time for approximately 8-10 mins depending on original temperature of the eggs
then drain and shock them with ice and water
let sit 5 mins
if you are to use them right away shake the pan, eggs ice and all
will crack the shells
if to store do not precrack they will dry out and not peel easily
a week is as long as i would store them and they get harder to peel the longer they sit
cheers
and if this works slap me with alittle karma
