Hard boiled eggs

[Licking windows]

Ok for those of you that buy ya eggs from a supermarket you probably wont know what Im on about
So for all you others that have chooks Im hoping that you might be able to help :Y:
Is there a trick or a method that you use to peel your boiled eggs without completely destroying them?
Ive tried adding a bit of vinegar to the water but no help :N:
It frustrates me when you only get left with half an egg or worse just the yolk because of the membrane
Any tips?

I always put my eggs into cold water and then bring them to boil for around 5 minutes.. Longer if you want them rock hard..

Keep a eye on them..

Yer mate I know what you mean.
We have cooks and it used to annoy me.I think its because they are so fresh.
The only thing that I have found is to soak them in cold tap water for a minute or two once cooked.
That does seem to seperate the egg from the shell.But some still stick.

Same lol. Wife has a Korean recipe and soaks them in some type of soy sauce and herbs. Taste awesome :Y:

Hi,
After I have boiled the eggs, I the put them in cold water for a few minutes. Then they are much easier to peel.

I also find if I crack the shell a bit and then rest them in cold water this does help :Y: but as you said Smokey some still stick so buy the sounds of it , its got to do with being to fresh and obviously the older they get the more that rubbery membrane must break down thus making peeling easier :Y: Id still prefer my hard to peel eggs over supermarket ones any day of the week erfect:

If you want to eat your boiled eggs cold, put them I the fridge and don't peel them until you want to use them. We boil eggs and put them in the fridge, mark the shell with a sharpie so you don't mix them up. Seem to peel easier when completely chilled.

Very interesting read there OzzieAu erfect: thanks for sharing :Y:
I was a little put off with what a lot of producers do and spray the eggs with oil :N: :N:
Another dirty little method these poultry farmers use :N: and what shocked me is the fact that they dont have to inform you on the box

Hi Manpa
Yes we do eat them cold ie in a salad, egg and lettuce sandwiches ect :drooling:
Might give your method a try as well :Y:
Thanks for the tip
