Peeling hard boiled eggs
Posted by MEANGREEN65 on 8/12/18 at 10:22 am00
What is the secret to egg shells that peel easily. Sometimes they are easy to peel but this morning was a mofo.
Is it the cooking time? Cold water right after? Something else?

If you pour the water out of the pot you boiled them in, cover the pot and shake it up really hard, your shells are ready for easy peeling!

I’ve been placing them in cold water, bring to a boil for a minute then shutting it down. Let cool. They have all peeled super easy

Get one of those electric egg cooker things. Simple, faster, peels easy every time.

I’m definitely going to try this. If nothing else it will be fun!

Use old eggs, at least 2 weeks since you bought them.
When they're finished cooking, pour off the hot water and replace with cold water and ice. Shake the pan to break the shells.
Should peel easy.
ETA: Do this in the sink in case of splashing.

Now that I see Stadium Rat's technique, I remember that I rinse them in cool water before shaking!

Serious Eats did an experiment to solve the hard boiled egg problem and found that eggs need to reach 212 degrees to separate the shell from the white but also need to be slow cooked to have the best yolk consistency.
They suggested putting eggs into boiling water* and boil for one minute. Then turn to lowest setting or even cover and turn off the heat and allow to sit for 8 minutes.
Then submerge in ice water for a minute or so. Roll the egg on a counter or paper towel gently to crack it all over. Then peel with the side of your thumb, not the tip, and try to pull the "skin" around the egg.
*When I do this, I have to take the boiling water off the burner and let it cool slightly. If the water's boiling, my eggs usually crack and leak in the hot water. Letting it come down to under a boil lets me put them in without cracking. It takes about 30 seconds to get back up to boilings once back on the burner. That's when I start the 1 minute timer before shutting off the heat.

Don't use fresh eggs and peel under cold running water.

Instant Pot is the only satisfactory answer I’ve ever gotten.
Without reading any suggestions before this one, whether method or old eggs, I’d buy the dang thing again just to peel eggs.

Oh, Jesus H. Christ.
Boil them however you like.
Rinse with cold water (mainly so you don't burn your hands)
Place egg on counter or cutting board (hard flat surface) and roll it around a bit with the palm of your hand, making sure the shell is cracking the whole time. Then peel it. Comes off easily.

Same however, I pour a little vinegar and or baking soda to the process. Never have had a problem.

This is how I do it.
If you have to use fresh eggs try and catch that skin that is just under the shell when peeling. Be very careful and peel slowly. An ice bath helps after boiling.
Youtube how to peel egg
I found this on youtube.

X 2 ..... after desired boiling minutes, soak in ice water, roll egg on counter top to crack shell , then peel under running water. Once water seeps between shell and egg, shell will come right off

The one time I soaked them in ice water afterwards was the hardest to peel boiled eggs I've ever made. They looked a dog nawed on each one.
I usually boil them, then pour out the hot water and add room temp water and let them sit for awhile til cool. Then peel under cold water.

I do an ice bath. Works every time. Been wanting to try these, though.
