How do you peel your hard-boiled eggs?
Citric acid
Salt
What if I put vinager and baking soda in the boiling water?
4 minutes?
I have found that nothing helps 100% of the time: neither salt in the water nor an ice bath after cooking, etc. I believe the age of the egg determines how easily it will peel. There is a very thin membrane between the egg and the shell. If that doesn't pull away from the shell easily when peeling, it's all over but the crying.
I tried letting the eggs sit in the fridge for a couple weeks or more and still got bad results. My cousin is a from-scratch cook and also works for a family catering business of many years. She just told me her trick yesterday: let the eggs sit out on the counter for two days and then hardcook them. I am going to try this. It makes sense: the egg would "age" faster making that membrane start to pull away from the shell.
I've been doing this since gordon ramsey told me to. it does work, sometimes better than other times, but definitely never as bad as it used to be – what I need is an advice on how to prevent egg from cracking. I've tried leaving them at room temp for a while prior to cooking, but they still tend to crack too often
Simple no fail method … Fill a pot of water about 2/3s full. Place a dozen eggs in the water one at a time. If the egg floats in the water it's old, don't use it. Water should cover the eggs. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. You can let it boil a few minutes or not, doesn't matter. After water boils, remove pot with the eggs to counter top and let cool down. Ok to eat after allowing about 15 to 30 minutes to cool down enough to hold.
I used to do the cold water rinse, using baking soda in the water, putting in boiling water, etc., etc. but none of that worked consistently. This way works perfect everytime and doesn't include a lot of steps or specific lengths of time.
Try it and see.
vinegar makes the eggs mushy and alters their taste negatively. I tried this, it didnt change the peeling experience but I hated the taste of the eggs.
What a fun video! Thanks for posting!😻
Boiling my eggs now, instead of frying, to get less cancer-inducing compounds. Got some batches of well-peeling ones, and more of those not so well peeling ones. This tip might have helped. However, I really need to save my time to more important things, so now I simply cut the unpeeled eggs in half with a knife, and eat the contents of both halves with a little spoon. It's the fastest method I know. This is also a hygienic method for on the go, just take a spoon with you.
A tip for those who want to peel: When the shell is coming well off, the fastest way to peel is to crack the bottom first, as it seems to always have the hollow area there. Crack a spline up to the top, and then to each side, gently taking the shell out as larger chunks. The shell kind of compresses against itself, as you feel and press your thumb against the whole ridge of the crack, and it crumbles off like these massive "tectonic plates" in an "egg-quake" (lol). I got very large, unbroken chunks removed that way, making the process faster. This does not work, if the batch is not well-peeling, so it doesn't help with the ease of peeling itself of the egg. If it's not well-peeling, it's always going to take bits off the egg, no matter the peeling method, hence my frustration, and moving to the knife and spoon method. Vinegar could help with this, haven't tried.
Nah. I've tried every trick available. Even all of them at once. Or at least as many that can be applied to the same egg. And they still rip apart. It just seems completely random if you get eggs that are going to peel easy, or not.
Ok, Vinegar may make the shell thinner, but it also seeps through the shell and you get a vile vinegar tasting egg, I know, I tried it, and it still didn't make the egg any better for peeling.
There is NO tried and tested method of peeling hard boiled eggs successfully, it totally depends on the eggs being used, some will peel so easily that you don't even have to crack them all the way round, and others will be impossible to peel because of the chemical make up of the eggs, which is totally different for all eggs.
White eggs seems to peel a lot better than brown, jumbo white eggs are a lot better at peeling than smaller brown eggs.
The other day I boiled 12 jumbo white eggs and 6 medium brown eggs, and when it came time for peeling, I had to throw away the brown eggs, because no matter how I tried they couldn't be peeled without pulling 3/4 of the white with the shells, the jumbo white eggs I only destroyed 3 of them for the same reason as the brown eggs, but the rest of the white eggs peeled no problem, so, if you're gonna boil eggs, make sure you boil around 2 dozen, because there WILL be eggs that have to be thrown out, from the 2 dozen, you may end up with just 1 1/2 doz, or not even that, you may end up with only 1/2 doz successfully peeled. It's trial and error, but with the prices of eggs today, I won't be buying anymore just to waste, in fact, from now on, if I want hard boiled eggs, I'll buy them already peeled.
been using baking soda have to try the vinegar method
Lâu lắm rồi mới được nghe lại bài này. Hay lắm ạ 😘
I add a bit of gasoline, Simple Green and a vacuum and it completely wipes out the eggs from existence.
The ice bath for 15” after boiling works great for me
Buzzfeed actually did something that proved they weren't 100% full of sh!t. Good for them!!!
Wrong-
-Long way to go for bad advicegently tap fat end on counter (to crack) then boil.. the shells will peel right off!Why are people it still call it hard boiled eggs? What you actually do is boiling the eggs longer. So you boil the eggs short or long. And yes I know the yolk becomes hard.
So from now on we call it short or long boiled Eggs
