| Re: I make the WORST hardboiled eggs in the world! Two things. The older an egg the easier it is to peel. Fresh eggs have a very small air pocket and stick to the shell. This is how I learned to make t he best eggs. Place eggs in pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then turn off heat and cover for 10 mins. Peel right away while running cold water over them

| Re: I make the WORST hardboiled eggs in the world! I know HOW to peel an egg  Doh!It's the egg sticking to the shell part I don't know how to fix... So to get the egg to quit sticking to the shell, I need to keep the temperature even? Currently, when done boiling, I put my eggs in icy cold water (so I can cool it and eat it quicker - yum!). You think I should just put them in warm water? Or leave them out in the air maybe?

| Re: I make the WORST hardboiled eggs in the world! No you are right it is the cold water. But I find if I am peeling under the running water it helps. But the key really is the age of the eggs.

| Re: I make the WORST hardboiled eggs in the world! Are you using Omega-3 eggs? I find they are an abosolute nighmare to peel, though I have no idea why. I buy regular eggs for boiling, and use Omega 3 for anything else.

| Re: I make the WORST hardboiled eggs in the world! It's definitely the cold water that helps the peeling process. Cooling immediately after boiling.

| Re: I make the WORST hardboiled eggs in the world! It's all to do with the age of the egg, I'm positive. One thing I've tried is to bring it to a boil, let it simmer for 3 minutes, turn it off, remove from heat and before you leave them to cool, give them a knock with a spoon to crack the shell. If you've got easy to peel eggs in there it'll make it even easier. |
