I'm back !! Kevin you have shown the way to boil eggs. I said I would report back and I am very happy to comment on this video. So many recipes truly fail. Many say to not add salt. The other people who have hard boiled egg videos need to watch this and just do it. It works just like Kevin says. I just want to go back to all the others and where I gave a negative comment, replace it with a link to this recipe. Thank you Kevin.

I genuinely laughed when he said "Shut up, no it doesn't." The way you delivered that was hilarious!

I'm broke after moving into a new apartment and had some eggs I couldn't fry without oil or butter so this saved my evening by giving me a nice dinner. Thanks K Reese, you're a legend.

Mr. Reese… thank you for being “regular!” Every time I watch meal prep videos- these guys live in these Hollywood condos and houses; driving range rovers to the supermarket! In addition, “shut up… no it doesn’t”= #priceless

Dude! I can’t believe how good this works! I’ve tried everything too. Wow, added plenty of salt, boiled for 10 minutes or so, cooled, an BAM! Peels like a pro! Thank you brother!

I'm 69 and finally learned how to easily peel a egg, Thanks Kevin

WOW --- been hard-boiling eggs for 50+ years, have never been able to peel eggs leaving no nicks or literally destroying the egg. Just boiled a dozen following your instructions and each one peeled easily and cooked to perfection!! Thanks Kevin Reese...

I raise chickens. The reason that some boiled eggs are more difficult to peel is because they are too fresh. Very fresh eggs are hard to peel. Older eggs are easier. If you are getting fresh eggs then boil them with baking soda. This will release the shell from the meat. Shells will slip off.

Kevin , it’s driven me crazy that I always hacked my eggs trying to peel them !! I just watched your vid and went and did the exact same thing as you !! I heard baking soda but not salt . I just used the salt . They peeled like it was nothing and cooked perfect !! Simple and easy !! Grateful brother ! Thanks

Thanks Kevin! Saw this on a friend's laptop and decided to try it. Awesome! Deviled eggs will be my all-time carry-in for parties, picnics, lunches.

I've seen other videos where they made it seem so difficult via using more than one pot, but you just made it so simple. Thank you!

Thank you, Kevin!!! I now know how to make perfect boiled eggs! Boil in salt water, cool with water, refrigerate, tap each egg & roll to peel!!! I'm SO HAPPY!

Hahah I was actually thinking "Yikes that will just make the eggs unhealthy" and the next second he said "shut up, no it doesn't" 😂😂

Omg!!! You have changed my life!! I've been so intimidated by boiled eggs so long now because it's so frustrating to peel them they are stuck to the shell and the other day I tried to cook them less time and they were runny so I tried to cook them for longer and I actually burned them. I've tried so many different techniques and they all didn't, but this technique works!!! I'm so freaking excited!!!

I CRACKED UP when you talked about "those who had something to say about all that salt, shut up" because I definitely was one of those people, lol! A sista was WORRIED, lol. Great video, I tried it and it really helped -THANK YOU!!!

You are the best!!! I've been using your method for 3 months now and no more frustration with peeling eggs. Yaaay!!! Thank you so much for sharing your technique.

I was going to comment about the salt but then he told me to shut up 🤐

Love it, I've been steaming eggs for years... And every now and then I get a batch of eggs that won't peel. I never knew about fresh eggs being harder to peel.

Thanks for this video! Depending on the pan, stir the salt in the water first so the salt doesn't pit the pan. If you don't have salt, baking soda works pretty well to. I bring mine to a rolling boil, remove from heat, cover and let sit 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water or let sit in the cool water. Store or peel and eat. My stove is gas, so when I kill the burner, the heat source is gone.

I think you're another legend in the boiling and peeling off eggs. Thanks for making these tasks a lot easier.

Kevin! You are the bomb! I had 2 dozen FRESH eggs, put the salt in, just like you said. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!! I will be doing this ALL the time! Plus, you are right, No salt flavor at all!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!! ❤️

I’ve struggled with peeling hard boiled eggs forever! I just tried this method and all I can say is THANK YOU!

I waited a life time to learn how to make hard boiled eggs with out having to call my mother. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge on this subject, short, sweet with a sense of humor and to the point!

I'm not sure what impresses me more... the quality of the eggs or the fact that this guy managed to make this video over 6 minutes.

"Shut up no it doesn't " LMFAOOO

Been making boiled eggs after watching your video dozens of times and its never failed!!! It also doesn't hurt that you're hilarious 😆 I make sure to never leave out the salt! Lol

Thanks Kevin, I like hacks that save time and effort when cooking. You did a good job with your instructions, not leaving steps out. I'm sure your hack will help a lot of people, including me !! Be well.

I’m 45 years old and I’m watching your video to boil eggs. It’s been working perfectly. Thank You 😊

Just tried your method. Results............ OUT-FRIGGIN-STANDING!!!! Eggs cooked perfectly, and pealing them was never so easy. Thank you for you fantastic post. 💪🏻🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚💪🏻

Hey, I can’t cook. I followed this and it works like a charm. Came out perfect. After filling the pot with cold water i waited 30 sec then replaced with more cold water then dumped ice on top. The peals literally rolled right off. No shells left on the eggs. I used Kosher salt

Just a tip, you can take that hot pot off the burner as soon as you cover it, to stop that boiling. Then let sit in the hot water 13 minutes. This way the yolk of your eggs will be all yellow, without that green tint they get when hot for too long. (Makes prettier deviled eggs, don't ya know?) You only need to bring the water to a boil, but as soon as it does, the eggs do not need to continue boiling at all. Hard-cooked eggs, as opposed to hard-boiled eggs, are more tender. You as SO RIGHT on the salt. I give mine a real good dose, it never seeps through the shell, but it sure does make peeling a whole lot easier.

Best video on this subject on KZfaq. Works perfectly every time, both in egg consistency and ease of peeling. Good stuff dude!

You made my day, Kevin. I always hated peeling eggs. Today we hardboiled about 5 dozen eggs to make red beet eggs. I followed your advice and added salt to the water. We do not use Morton salt so I used Redmans Real Salt, about a small scoop per dozen eggs. They all shelled perfectly except one which might have been cracked before hand. Some eggs we used were old and some were fresh but that did not make a difference! I notice this video had very high views which tells me there are a lot of people out there that have had trouble peeling eggs Again thanks much.

This is an awesome video. If the other video pals would understand the absolute beauty of getting right into whatever the purpose of the video is - I would watch more of them. This is not only a well done video - the process works! I thank you very much! Keep the good work up.

I do same but take off burnner for 15 minutes. Immediately place eggs in bowl of ice water. The sudden chill seperates eggs from shell. Fresher the egg, harder to peel if not using ice method. If not peeling eggs right away, using a little vinegar when boiling. Gives them a purple tint so you know they've been cooked. We had 6 kids all grown now. But they would sometimes crack an uncooked egg when a sibling swapped eggs for a joke. Lol Remember too, if eggs float to top of cold water when you start to boil, discard. Spoiled egg. We always put salt in but different reason. If shell cracks during cooking, contents stay in shell instead of spreading out everywhere. Old trick my aunt showed me back on her farm in Wva where my job was gathering the eggs from dozens of hens. Then fried in bacon grease on huge wood/coal stove in iron cast skillet. Oops, sorry for the trip down memory lane but was so good

Thanks for asking for my recipe, Bobbie Sue Sanders. I did Kevin Reese's technique and it works GREAT! except I would let the eggs set in the hot water no more than 12 minutes (I left for 15 minutes and the yolks were a little dark). When done, tap the ends and roll lightly on counter .. the peelings come right off! WOO HOO! Here is my recipe, and everyone LOVES my deviled eggs! ( I think it's the vinegar tang that makes them so great) .. I do not use mustard for this. Donna’s Recipe for Deviled Eggs: (24 eggs) Mash 24 yolks (save 4 whites) with fork. With spatula Stir in 1/3 cup onion flakes (or 1/ 4 cup yellow onion, chopped) - 5-6 tsp. white vinegar - 2 1/2 tsp. Himalania salt - 1/4-1/2 tsp. Sprouts black pepper (amount depends on taste). Stir in 4 remaining whites, chopped fine), and Vegenaise or mayo (I use Best Foods if no Vegenaise). Spoon into halved boiled eggs. Sprinkle lightly (or more) with cayenne pepper. TADA NOTES: 1) Real onions are moister than flakes, so use less mustard; but I prefer onion flakes for this recipe. Also, flakes can handle more vinegar and mayo. 2) Miracle Whip, Best Foods, etc. are a little nasty because of whatever, including that they have icky salt. They are also wetter than Vegenaise, so use less of them and add less salt.

I am 74. Almost exactly how I have done eggs for 50 years except, and this I just learned, about the salt. I am going to try, because my way they don't always peel. Many thanks!

I like that ur stove actually looks like u cook 👨‍🍳 on it (like mine) some of these cooking videos are so unrealistic it’s like come on there’s no way u actually cook on that stove every day. Just thought I’d mention that. Great video!!!!

Thank you for the video! Adding the salt is interesting. I don't care whether a little bit of salt gos through the shell or not. Because I do add a little salt to the egg when I eat it. However, does the egg shell still peal nicely after few days in the cold?

Thank you for the video, I have not done this for a long time, this video helped me refresh my skills, hubby does all the cooking and now I need to go on the keto diet and eggs is one of the things I can eat

I busted out laughing when you said shut up no it doesn’t 😂😂 great video

I use to live in the gym & ate a lot of egg whites. A while back, I found out that the protein is actually in the yolk...which makes more sense being that it's the protein source for the baby chick. Also, there is NO cholesterol in eggs & we can eat as many as we want. We've been lied to! Just thought I'd pass it on.😉 Great info vid tho! Literally trying it right now.

thanks man.. this video really helps me out cuz i've been running around asking people what to do to make my boiled eggs perfect. and when I say perfect, I mean, the yoke is cooked and it's easy as hell to peel. Peeling is the most frustrating part that I always encounter; cuz if I peel, the white part of the egg comes off with the shell bits as I started to peel it off... LOL So again thank you very much for this video. Ciao.

THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL , This recipe was so quick and simple and they were absolutely impeccable best boiled eggs I have ever made!

"Shut up, no it doesn't" Why can't all tutorials be this straight forward. No fancy camera set up, a few dirty dishes in the sink (lets be real, at least we know you do, infact, use your kitchen like a normal person) and easy to follow instructions. I'm literally about to do this. Hopefully I remember to give a review in the morning after I've peeled my eggs. Oh and thank you for this easy to follow tutorial by the way.

Putting salt in the water raises the boiling temperature of the water. Putting the eggs in a cold bowl of water and putting ice over them will dramatically help make peeling them easier (think expand and contract guys... the egg shells will practically fall off the eggs). Great video.

i think that by adding salt to the water, it makes the water boil at a higher temperature, causing the eggs to boil faster. is that right? thats how ive boiled my eggs.

I’m 39 and suck at boiling eggs! Today is Easter and my daughter and I are ab to boil eggs. I won on YT trying to check some videos out but YOUR video was the most informative, easiest to understand! Not at all fancy pansy! Right up my aisle!!

Hi Kevin! Thank you for your recipe for boiling eggs. I use it every year and I'm 64 yrs. old. You'd think I would know by now how to boil eggs. Thank you very much!!! I pray you and yours have a "Happy Thanksgiving" and a very "Merry Christmas"

Tks Kevin..I finally found a video that shows me how to perfectly peel an egg 🥚

Tried your method & they peeled good. Thanks, Kevin

Been doing the exact same thing for over 50 yrs. Grandma/Mama taught. Works everytime!!!!!

Saw your video this morning & gave it a go & success !!! Had 1 egg explode for some reason but rest were perfect. Another tip is, when cool enough to handle, break the shell on the fatter end and pull it off. Then crack and peel down the side while cool water is running over the egg. Once the shell is loose enough, the water will hydraulically pop the shell loose from the rest of the egg.

Thank you so much for this video! My boyfriend and I followed your batch cooking process to a tee (except for turning off the heat-ours couldn't sustain the rolling boil). We call you Kitchen Bro now.

I cracked up when u said "shut up no it won't about the salt" I needed the sternness lol...Thanks so much for helping me make deviled eggs on this Thanksgiving Day!!! I'm 44 and been cooking for years, eggs and pancakes have always been a hassle....much appreciated!!!

Two men who know what's up in this world; you n my dad. I clicked the link curious as to whether this video would show the path of the true hard boiled ninja warrior and Sho Nuff... tip of the hat and a bow to you, good sir. Let these folks know what's up. Tabernacle!

This is how I do mine. Have two dozen now waiting for the pickling jar.

Waw! Excellent Thank you!

For many years I've messed up boiling eggs. This really works. Thanks again.

Finally, instructions how to boil the perfect egg without sticky peeling. Thanks bro!

I just love your voice!✌🏼❤️

Great demo. You need to take a power washer to that sink, however. Lol.

Your cold water to replace the hot cooking water is great. I do almost the same as you, but I only add some ice cubes to the cooled water to chill down the water and the eggs before I peel them. Excellent explanation on your video. Thanks!

I do it the Exact same way-the salt does Not get into the egg, Unless one of the shells crack while boiling! The trick is to shut off the boiling water the instant it begins to roll-so the eggs don't bounce around and crack! Good demonstration and I don't mind that it took him over 6 minutes-I Like the tone of his voice, te-he!!

You're the best one in the world I didn't know how to boil eggs!!!!

Tip: add some ice cubes to it when you’re cooling the eggs

Thank you! I'm doing your process now! People just love my deviled eggs recipe, but I rarely make it because peeling is such a chore! I've got 40 eggs on the stove .. I hope this works!!

Hi Kevin I appreciate the time saving peeling tip, and I will certainly use it just the way that you did it, respect from Scotland.

quench them in ICE water is what will make them shell easy. Put a couple trays of ice in the cold water.

good video always some people have some thing stupid to say if is very explaines is too much if not explain is bad so i think is a good vid dude

Thanks for the advice. Just made the best batch of hardboiled eggs ever and they really do peel easily.

Did an experiment last night with several ideas on this. Easiest to peel was older eggs boiled in salt water! Peeled with a spoon, shell popped off in 1 piece! Thanks buddy for this secret, been trying to discover this for years! Lol

yesssssss thank you Kevin!

I roll ALL the eggs till the shell is loose, placing each one back in the water. Leave for 2 minutes and then they get removed.

Thanks for this video was the first search that came up and worked perfectly. I knew this was the way to do it but its been so long I needed a good refresh so thanks a bunch.

WoW !! The only thing better than finally learning an easy way to hard boiled eggs is getting to watch Kevin do this video !!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 #NoRingOnHisFinger ✅

I totally agree with you!! I have done this so many times and they peel perfectly EVERY TIME!! never had a bad one!!

Very ez 2 follow.....& i can understand him Perfectly !!

Did he just tell me to "Shut-Up"?!. 🤣🤣 That was funny shit right there. Thanks Kev 👍

"...Shut up, no it doesn't!" Love it! Going to the store for a box of salt this morning.

not so much as the salt making it easy to peel, but the cold water giving the shock effect to the hot shells.

When using the cold water , why not leave the pan under the cold running water , let the pan over flow and eventually all the hot water is gone. rather than dumping the water out first . Less chance of a burn and the eggs would be cooled. I also never use salt, don't need it.

So I have been boiling eggs for 50+ years. I just bought a dozen to make egg salad, but I did not wait a week or two before they would peel easy. I tried your method- very easy to do. I did everything to the precise instruction, but I wanted to make the salad the next day. After the second cooling wash, I drained the eggs and put them n the refrigerator. Today I took the eggs out and let them sit for a while as I fed my dogs, did some lawn work, etc. I actually forgot about them for maybe half an hour. I started to peel the top eggs from the bowl and it was quite a mess. Most of the egg stuck to the shell and I lost a lot of the white part. As I worked down the stack, the lower eggs were still cool from the refrigerator and they peeled perfectly. So the moral here is that if you want this technique to work, leave them in the refrig and peel them COLD. When I did that, the shells came off quickly and easily. I will always hard boil my eggs this way from ow on. Thanks Mr. Reese!!!!!

Thank you for this video. I go back and re-watch this every time I make hard boiled eggs.

That's really cool.

The salt does not transfer into the egg and it's actually a chemical reaction that you're seeking that helps the water to boil. It's called nebulosus. Same thing that makes Mentos volatile in a Diet Coke bottle, but that is hyper-nebulosus.

Thanks for this video bro! I stay in the barracks and recently got back into meal prepping. Ngl it’s been pretty difficult preparing my food since I can’t have a crock/slow or rice cooker, hot plate, etc. I have to utilize the barracks kitchen, but this way of boiling all dozen eggs will save me a whole lot of time!

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I followed your instructions and it works perfectly!

Fresh or old eggs makes a difference also. 😏

baking soda works better. I have tried the salt way, and yes it will work. but try baking soda. made a believer of me!!

Never would've thought of that much salt. Looks like a great trick. Thanx.

Kevin, You're 100% right. I boiled one dozen and did it exactly the way your video showed, and they came out perfect. As a matter of fact Kevin, they were so easy to peel I overindulge eating them. LOL

I boil my eggs the same way except I don't add all that salt, but now that I know it makes the shells come off easier maybe I'll add salt too, thank you! 😎😄

OH MY GOD ALL THAT SALTS GONNA GET IN THE EGG!...shut up no it doesnt! Why is that so me tho? LMAO

"shut up, no it doesn't" is SO FUNNY 🤣

You are 100% correct! The salt made all the difference! Thnx for the tip.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="123">2:03</a> watching him put half a container of salt in the eggs 😳😳😳 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="140">2:20</a> he checked me and told me to shut up 😬

Been doing this ever since. Thought everybody knew this already!

The science behind it is that you are tempering the eggs after they are boiled. You shock them by putting them into a bath of cold water immediately after the hot water is drained, thus cooling down the temperature of the eggs so they'll shrink inside the shell, making them easier to peel. Great tutorial, btw

Shout out to Kevin.. Helping us down these eggs like real G's 😂✊🏾 u saved me
