What's your super secret trick to pealing eggs?

Pro Tip: Always steam your eggs rather then boiling them. Place eggs in a steamer basket, place steamer basket with eggs in to a pot with a little cold water, cover pot/eggs heat and gently boil water to create steam for 20 min. There is no need for a high rapid boil. The real beauty of this method is that you can easily remove the shells even from the freshest eggs with no problem, no other gimmicks are needed. After steaming, place eggs in to a bowl of cold water, lay down a few paper towels on top of each other on your counter top, crack egg shell on paper towels a few times and begin peeling. When done peeling eggs scoop up paper towels with the shells and discard.

To get shells off, drain the boiling water, then run lukewarm water on the eggs in the pot.. add in about 1/2 cup baking soda. Let sit for about 10 mins.. then put in cold water to be cool enough to peel. the shells will easily come off.

Reading some of the other comments, I am happy to see that this video was helpful to a lot of people. Fun to think how your 'soap box' moment has developed and changed into what it is now! Continued progress. Comment context: Having seen where Gubba ended up (Sept 2023), I decided to see how her Homestead journey started and follow along. I love a conversion story! My hope for her, is simply her success!

As a chef usually what I do is I take the eggs out when they're hot and I run them under cold water immediately and then I bounce them around till the shell is cracked a lot and then I peel them under cold water. Also I use a kitchen spoon to put my eggs in the pot.

Thanks to Southern Living cookbook, I was doing it wrong for many years. Best way by far to make eggs easy to peel is to put the eggs in boiling water, boil for 13 minutes (hard boiled) and then put them in cold water, even ice water if available.

Pro tip: Boil water first, add eggs, and boil 10 minutes. Fill bowl large enough to hold all the eggs with ice & water. When finished boiling immediately transfer to ice water, the temperature difference will help the shell separate 99% (there maybe be one stubborn one). Crack the egg (spoon/countertop, etc.), use your thumbs to work around/crack the shell circumference, then pinch ‘n peel. In my experience the shell comes off in only 2 pieces 🐣 The only downside I’ve found to this is there’s probably one or two eggs that will have hairline fractures and/or air pressurez They split/pop when added to the boiling water but not much leaks out by the time it cooks and seals up. I usually just eat those as I’m peeling 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gabba i want to taste those pickled eggs from Kansas !

Whenever you're hard boiling eggs, add Vinegar to the water (to make them peel easier).

to peel boilt eggs i put slowly reduce the temp of the water by simple displacement (just add cold water til its cold) then let em rest about 10 min then drop one egg into a rocks glass and shake the ships out of it then the shell comes off quite qickly

(I Think) a lot of times the boiled eggs that do not peal properly is not necessarily the chef's fault: If the chicken is not healthy, it will lay eggs with thin, weak shells. I've boiled different eggs with the same procedure and found a huge difference in how they peal, suggesting the problem lays, (no pun intended) in the unhealthy chicken/egg, not the cooking of the 'said above'... PS first time I watched ur show... LOVE-IT!

Awesome! I’ve been wanting to try these! Now I have a recipe.

Instant pot 5-5-5 method for hard boiled eggs. I will never do anything else. Easiest peel.

You are awesome. I enjoyed your

Secret to peeling eggs. After boiling... Cool them for 15 minutes in cold water (doesn't need to be ice). Then, put the eggs into a food safe container with a lid (Tupperware or similar) and shake them 40 times. That crushes the shells, which will easily peel off. Perfect hard boiled and peeled eggs.

Well done! You’re fun to watch!

Cubba , I worked at the biggest organic chicken egg farms in America and they sit on poop for up to a week , before cleaning and cartons….. I swear…….

Next time just put all of your dry ingredients into 1/2 c of vinegar, put into bottom of jar. Fill with eggs then pour vinegar until covered. Seal, give it a good shake and store. BOOM

My first batch of eggs I couldn’t get all the shell off. I ended up putting some of just the boiled yoke in the jars so I didn’t waste them. Is this a bad idea?

So can you tell me what makes these Kansas style eggs? What is the reason you leave the eggs on the counter for 4 days? What dose this do for the eggs? The recipe sounds good. I may have to give it a try.

Thank you ! How long are they good for in the fridge?

Baking soda bath on the cool down ... Rolls right off

Definitely my favorite recipe, although I read on your website to let the eggs sit on the counter for 4 days prior to boiling. What is the purpose of that?

For a homesteading you waste a lot of water. Roll the eggs to crack the eggs and peel in a large bowl of water then use the water & egg shells in your garden.

Why don't you try using baking soda and your eggs and it for some reason that does work and it's so much easier getting them eggshells off even after you kind of break them up on the sink just try it I think you'll be amazed. And if it doesn't work you have my permission to call me a liar LOL

never ever poke holes into the eggs. do the research on why no-one pokes holes into eggs. introducing botulism everything else looked ok

Always add some cooler water to your pot before dumping down your plastic sink pipes.

They look really good gubba

Subbed for the English muffin crunching humor 😂

A long story to finally get to the pickled eggs.

I was taught to juggle the eggs before boiling to weed out the less flavorful eggs since they are on the floor afterwards. I gotta get me one of those timers I have never seen one like that before.

Bout to try these, thanks

those look amazing! another helpful how to vlog!

After boiling and letting sit, I run under cold water, then I fill the pot with cold water and baking soda and swirl. The sells come off easily

If you ad pickling spice do you ommit the salt

Not to bad a job for maybe the only thing you ever cooked. Steam or pressure cook.. works awesome.

I need to try this recipe

Its my understanding that "free range" according to the USDA is 4 square feet for every chicken in the enclosure.... my chickens have 14 square feet each..... tastiest eggs ive ever had!

My Grandfather was killed by a hand granegg.

Being a veg you need a little protein practice need to crack the eggs and roll them till the shell is crushed a bit then the egg should peel right out

Thank You!!!

ive seen a simuliar recipe from kansas on youtube. im here in kansas city and tried it so his and yours must be based off of counties. lol. jackson county has a new one by me. halopenos + pink salt

I'm impressed, not a single egg on the floor, unlike another time I seem to remember. ; )

How many days or how much time do I put the jar in my fridge before I can eat them?

Baking soda bath helps peel

Don’t eggs spoil after being left of fridge for days????

you need to pick up 6 laying chickens . easy to take care of . all kitchen wast go's to eggs .

This looks amazing! 🤤🤤 does anyone know if I can skip the sugar?

Place the eggs gently into the boiling pot, drop the eggs aggressively into the sink. I'll write those directions down if I make this. 😂

What award did these eggs win??

The pastures are rotated not the Chickens sis .

I never tried pickled eggs before maybe it’s time for a change and try them 🤔

All the eggs survived 😲

Eat the meat. Kudos on the chickens , I agree. Visit some farms , marry had a little lamb and her babies were delicious 😋🤤 southern Oregonian, love raising chickens, lambs and horses...don't eat horses.

How long are they good for in the fridge?

why so much salt and sugar? seems like alot.

Steam the eggs then peel

Peeling hard-boiled eggs isn't that hard. Just take the egg, smack it all around on the counter, then take the egg, peel it, but find the membrane that's right under the shell. Grab onto the membrane and it will help tremendously in peeling the rest of the egg shell off.

You know the best way to make ice cubes is by having an ice tray to pour water into each of the spaces so you can place it in the freezer. That way the water will freeze into ice cubes.

Just boil for 15 mins, that is a hard boiled egg

Another way to know if the egg is boil is to take it out of the water with a spoon and if the water on it evaporate that mean it’s ready

I gently bang my egg wide side down on counter then boil peel with a spoon

Ummmm..great video. You are learning but you could have made that much easier. Thanks!

The reason chicken's are put in cages is that 💩 on any and everything, And protects the chicken's from predators.

Homesteader without chickens...? Interesting

Pastured is the way you want to go, free range means nothing. Pasture raised is the correct term.

Put in frig over nite before peeling

Have you ever looked into what "free range" actually means as far as chicken living? It means nothing. Chickens are still bred to be as large as possible which means for the most party the still cant walk and to be considered free range all they need is actual ACCESS to an outdoor sunlit area. 95% of chickens never see that outdoor area.

Should pickled cucumbers and carrots as well

try putting each egg into a jar and shake hell out of it and it peels great

A homestead that buys eggs? Ok..

so you being vegan lets say ur husband got a deer that hunting season would u eat it bc its been wild and free range all there life

love this video gubba you rock!

Bruh what

Turn your gas and power off.. Instant homesteading.

Nice video Gubba! Very interesting!

Homesteading and you don't raise your own chickens?

😁😁😁😁

You're homesteading and you don't have your own chickens?

Vid seems so processed. Just my 2 cents ...

How do you not have chickens lol

You are beautiful and energetic gubba..am from India..I will try this for sure and let you know

Me thinks ....woke pickled eggs. A homesteader who buys organic, free range eggs instead of having chickens, huh!

Yeah this is a very slow person show . Bye

Nope....

too much waffling
