When we get together for Easter, I get really frustrated with my extended family when they cook hard boiled eggs for the traditional devilled eggs. They boil them for 15 minutes and then pour the water away and leave them on the side to wait for them to cool. Once they come to peeling them, it takes forever. Whenever I do hard boiled eggs, I boil them for the required time and then immediately put them in cold running water for two minutes, take each egg out of the water and crack the shell. Then I put them back in the cold water for a few more minutes. Peeling them is like removing a jacket. It’s simplicity itself.

Big tip. Boil. Tap the small pointy (sort of pointy) end on a towel. Peel there. There is an air pocket at that end of the egg. It peels taking the membrane with it. No tearing.

@BooBaddyBig 2 жыл бұрын

Half right. The air sac is at the broad end. That's why you crack the pointy end. The broad end forms a partial vacuum when you chill it after the cooking and then when you break the seal at the pointy end atmospheric pressure pushes the egg down to the broad end, collapses the air sac, and pulls the egg away from the shell for you.

FOUR MINUTES FOR THAT?! Okay folks, here it is: immediately chill your hard-boiled eggs to exactly 52F in chilled water, roll them between your palms under water just hard enough to crack the shell all over, and then slip off the shell. It's all about constricting the inner membrane just enough -- hence exactly 52F -- to enable the shell to easily separate from the egg, and the water slipping between them acts as a lubricant for the process. TAH-DAH!!! You're welcome.

Did anybody spot the floating eggs @2.54 AND 3.54 there were more but these stand out. Floating eggs see this text ; To perform the float test, gently set your egg into a bowl or bucket of water. If the egg sinks, it is fresh. If it tilts upwards or even floats, it is old. This is because as an egg ages, the small air pocket inside it grows larger as water is released and replaced by air.
