My hack. No ice needed. Just bring a pot to boil. When it reaches the boiling point, add eggs and wait for 10-12 minutes. Then, take it off the stove and pour the hot water away. Just let the eggs sit under the running water until you feel it gets cooler and peel. Works for me.
@phyllisreinking42083 ай бұрын
Great tip! Another method that works for me is to boil the water first and then quickly lower eggs into a steaming basket in the pan, cover and boil for 13 minutes, turn heat off and let them sit covered for ten minutes, put in cold water and shake the pan vigorously. The shells slip off easily, often in one piece.
@msdouglas121003 ай бұрын
If you don't have an ice maker or room for ice trys just use super cold water and stick in the fridge. The only time this has never worked was because the eggs weren't fully covered.

Honestly you really don't need ice, just cold water. I boil eggs almost daily and mine typically peel easy. I start them in a with cold water, let them come up to a boil in the water and then turn off the heat. Put the lid on the pan for 10 ish mins and then dump the hot water and fill the pan/pot up with cold water. The trick is you can't leave them in your shock water for a long time. I usually do maybe 5 mins max. Then peel immediately. I just tap each end on the counter and then roll it with my palm. The REAL hack if their is a hack is the egg itself. Fresh eggs don't boil well and small eggs don't tend to peel well. So I get the jumbo ones for boiling. You might end up with an extra yolk but its totally worth it.

Scientifically, it makes sense. The heat of boiling the eggs expands them and the cold, ice water contracts. However, if I want to eat one hot out of the pan, I cook them in water and add a buttload of baking soda (1/4-1/2c). Just rinse in cold water a few times so you don’t burn your hands when you peel them. ❤

Tap the top of the egg with a spoon until you hear a snap inside and then cook them, they peel like a dream. Just dont crack the shell. Just tap until u hear a snap. Do everything else the same. It releases the egg from the shell membrane, easier to peel with a spoon or whatever ;)

You can use salt. Like a big table spoon of it on your boiling water. It’s some science or something but it works too. And you can peel your eggs easily and they’re still warm instead of having sat in ice water for 20 minutes

But how boiled? Soft, medium, hard? The yolk makes all the difference. If I'm eating ramen, I want a soft boiled egg. Salads, make it hard boiled. Removing the shell will be much harder with a soft boiled egg

you let them cool too long, which lost the advantage of them expanding and then contracting away from the shell. it's also possible your eggs were very fresh which also worked against you.

Fresh eggs don't peel as well as eggs you've had for a week or so but I also found out that if you put the boiled eggs in the fridge over night, get them out and let them come to room temp they will sweat and peel very easy also, of course that takes longer but it works lol
