Now folks say that you should use older eggs..Today I bought fresh eggs and tried this method . Boiled😢😢 the water ..Then into the pot,12 minutes ..Removed into ice water 15 minutes . Crack and roll shell literally fell off. Perfect. Made my egg salad ..absolutely delicious. Thank you Thank you Thank you. At 73 should have watched this a long time ago..LOL

I raise chickens. I have been boiling eggs this way my whole life. If you make an egg this way and it does not peel right it's because the egg is not at least 2 weeks old. Most eggs you buy from the store are at least 4 weeks old many are 5 weeks or more.

@SoleEpiphany 3 ай бұрын

Age of egg will matter more for poaching eggs than for boiling, over time they do lose moisture as egg shell is porous. Some say vinegar, baking soda, pricking the egg with a push pin etc. Kenji Lopez did a great study and is definitely worth checking out. Adding eggs to boiling water and then shocking them in ice water to stop the cooking, tapping and rolling like this gentleman did or even peeling under running water or in a bowl of water is the ticket for sure. Jacque Pepin recommends the push pin more to avoid the green/grey circle that can occur around the yolk. I believe that’s something to do with sulfur as well as the air pocket. Starting from boiling seems to be the most consistent method given gas, electric and induction would certainly be different times coming to boil though.

My wife and I have tried all kinds of methods to get the eggs to peel cleanly and nothing worked consistently until we learned about steaming them about 2 years ago. We steam a dozen at a time for 15-17 minutes and then into ice water until they are cool and have done dozens of eggs so far and every single one was easy to peel. I was amazed. We like deviled eggs and a clean peel is crucial. It also doesn't matter in the least if the eggs are old or new.

I've had an egg routine for years based on this. I always have boiled eggs sitting in the fridge to pick at. when i buy a new carton of eggs, the leftover eggs from the last carton all get boiled. They're at least a week older and they'll peel 100% clean every time. I don't shock them in ice water or anything. I stop the cooking after 6.5 minutes by running tap water over the eggs in the pot and that's it.

In the 60's, mom would make me soft boiled eggs. She would hit it with a butter knife, pull it in half and scoop both halves out with same knife (no shell fragments). Then she would put a small pad of butter on it with salt and I would chop them with my fork then put that on buttered toast. The eggs were still hot. I've never been able to do that.

Every time I put cold eggs into boiling water they CRACK and make a mess. Then a chef friend told me to NEVER PUT COLD PROTEIN INTO A HOT POT. That you always start with ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS. I don't know if #-1 you salted you water. Salt water boils hotter. #-2 how fresh your eggs were. #-3 were they room temperature when you started. I was taught to salt my water and put my eggs into the pot. Wait about an hour for everything to reach "room temperature". (this also helps by making sure none of your eggs are bad . Rotten eggs float because of the gas inside the shell) Bring the water to a boil, once boiling reduce the pot to a simmer for 8-10 minutes. Drain. Rinse the eggs under COLD WATER. Put the now slightly cool eggs into a Ice bath. Let sit until all the ice is melted. Drain the water. Crack like you did and peel from the air bubble spot first. Depending on if you rotate your eggs while I the fridge it could be the larger end or the narrow end. I've rarely had a problem removing the shell cleanly.

In my experience all you need to do is run cold water briefly over the shell when you take the egg out. The cold water causes the white to contract faster than the shell, pulling it away and making it easy to peel. Ice water and 15 minutes is unnecessary, just cold tap water and a few seconds is sufficient. And your egg is still piping hot.

"America's Test Kitchen" taught me the steam method, several years ago. It's perfect. If I'm doing deviled eggs, or something where the presentation of the eggs is important, I steam them for 11 minutes, turn off the flame for 2 minutes, put them in the ice-bath for about 30 minutes. A friend takes them from the bath after 30 minutes, taps them on the counter to crack them, then returns them to the bath for awhile ... sometimes overnight. All they need is a gentle squeeze, and the shell pops off, in two pieces.

From what I've read, the ease of removing the shell depends on the age of the eggs. Fresher eggs are harder to peel. Eggs a couple of weeks old are easier. There is no way to know how fresh these eggs were; They all looked pretty easy to peel. To make hard boiled eggs I always just use the .38 Special technique. Pot of cold water, put in the eggs, bring to a boil for 3 minutes, take off heat and cover for 8 minutes (3 minutes and 8 minutes... 38 special). Perfect every time.

Yes, STEAMING the eggs is better. When you boil them, the egg is resting directly on the bottom of the pan and exposed to much higher heat on one side. Steam them for the time required for the desired result, immediate put them in an ice bath to cool. But I never "peal" my eggs. Instead I pop the shell on either end, then gently "massage" the shell with a slight pulling action. My shells come off in one piece!

Leave the lid on with heat off for about 18 minutes. Then rinse with cold water. I think that also helped with getting the shell off, and uses less energy.

Great video about a complicated subject. It seemed the ice bath was the secret to great peeling. I DO LOVE Deviled Eggs 🥚 🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚! Since I live alone, I may only want one or two eggs. If I drop one cold egg in boiling water, it will slow the boil only a little. If I drop 6 eggs into boiling water, it will slow the boil longer. I know, neither amount may be considered significant, and I'm being nitpicky. Obviously, the smart thing to do is to boil 6. I can save them, after all. Considering the current price of eggs, maybe we should all buy a few chickens 🐔 🤔 🐔🐔🐔😁!

The shell almost flies off the egg. I have done it the way he shows and most of the time it works, but this other way is faster for me. Give both ways a try and see which works better for you. I can peel seven eggs in about 2 minutes or less.

Forget the age of the eggs being a factor as I brought in some eggs today (after watching this video) from my chicken house with some of them so fresh they were still warm. I boiled them for fourteen minutes before putting them in ice water for fifteen minutes. I left the ice water - eggs in the freezer during that time. The result was that the eggs peeled perfectly.

Oh, NOW you tell me! I live in FLorida, and have struggled with this simple thing for so long! I will never give up! Here's how desperate it got: Recently I wanted to make egg salad, and just didn't bother with ANY of this, and cracked all the eggs into a little jello mold kind of thing and just put that into a steamer and gently steamed it 'till it looked done. The mold is rectangular and it made a block of egg. It was easy enough after that. Maybe next time I'll put the whites and yolks separately. It seemed like cheating, and I have bought the new color-changing egg "timers", as I have bought EVERY egg-cooking gadget I've ever seen, for years! HM. Maybe someday they'll find something to feed the chickens to help this, and label the cartons! "E-Z Peel Eggs" kind of thing. They'll sell millions of them!

I've found that completely cracking the shell while they're still in the boiling water (I use the handle of a common table knife) and then plunging into the ice bath seems to help -- my theory is that while the ice is shrinking the egg away from the shell it also draws in water which helps separate the shell from the egg.

Great video. I have tested both theories of fresher/newer eggs versus using older eggs ( the theory is that the older eggs do better when trying to peel them). I also have chickens that I raised myself in my backyard, small flock of 10 & they are different breeds also. I used three month old eggs, and eggs that were laid that morning, both do just fine. Also, I used cold eggs and room temperature eggs, again, with the same results, new, old, cold, room temperature, they all boiled without cracking and peeled easily. The trick I have found that works for me, without getting to Sciency, I put a tablespoon of vinegar and a dash of salt in the boiling water, before I add the eggs. it changes the pH balance/acidity of the water, that way the egg won’t crack, but if it ever does, it will stick together versus egg, white, floating all around your water. It’s as if it congeals, in a kind of way. You are 100% correct about the ice water bath! Thank you for sharing, love from Ohio🐓

At $7.00 per dozen, you get a delicious, protein-rich food for $0.58 per each approximately 2 oz egg! Not everybody eats 1 1/2 dozen at one sitting! lol But, even so, 1 1/2 dozen hbe-yielding 36 (halved) deviled egg portions provides 113.4 gr protein at a cost of $10.50. According to the USDA Agricultural Marketing Services, in their National Retail Report for last week (ending Jan 29, 2023), the average cost for boneless ribeye steak (commonly preferred by most consumers) was $12.44 per pound (a *very* conservative price IMO). One pound (raw weight) boneless ribeye steak provides approximately 88 gr protein. Steak’s nutritional content plus price per pound, pales in comparison to the *”Incredible Edible Egg!”*. JS 😊

@michaelmeyer6306 Жыл бұрын

It is the thermal shock adding the eggs to BOILING water that makes the easy peel. To minimize the egg from breaking when adding to the water, let the eggs warm to room temperature first and use eggs with as few defects in the shell as possible. Ice water is not necessary, but does shorten the cooling period. Cooking time length is for yolk consistency, times greater than 15 minutes will make the outer yolk have that gray color.
