    I usually put the eggs in the pot and then fill it with cold water, than I put the pot on the stove on high heat. I add salt and ACV to the water. Once it starts a rolling boil I cover the pot, turn off the heat, and set a timer for 11 minutes. Then I drain and peel. This method works pretty well for store-bought eggs, hopefully we'll have farm-fresh soon! One of my little hens finally laid her first egg yesterday :)

      Yes, key is to start eggs in cold water, once water reaches boil point, then start timer for 13 minutes (I;m at 5K elevation/altitude, which matters how long you boil). Immediately place into ice bath until egg is cold (at least 20 min). Gently crack them all the way around, start peeling at bottom where air pocket is and it should come off easily.

      The Salt and Vinegar is is so pointless, the Vinegar is only breaking up some Calcium, making the shell thinner, it has nothing to do with the membrane! Salt is only raising temperature about 1 degree, meaning absolutely no effect! People just still keep making believe in these myths, but they have been tested by so many professionals, and it's nothing but nonsense myths!
      On a plus note though, the Vinegar at least descales your pot 😋

    My wife followed your instructions and we had great success. She added a step. She gave the eggs a small tap to crack the shell then put them back in the cold water for a min before peeling. Out of 24 eggs she only had 1 that was difficult to peel. Thanks for the help.

    my Gramma who was a farmer always put the eggs in the water while it was still cold then the eggs came to temp with the water. She also added about a 1/4 cup of vinegar for a big pot of water/eggs. The vinegar makes the shells come off easy since it separated the membrane from the egg.

    It’s best to tap the boiled egg at the bottom of the egg. The wider part. This is where there is a little pocket of air and makes it a lot easier to start peeling. It does make a big difference 🥚😉

    Cracked eggs float because air gets in the shell. Cold eggs sometimes crack due to sudden temperature change but also in part as there is heightened fragility. In general, using store bought eggs, cracking is frequent because of miniscule, barely visible cracks in the shell. I also find that peeling fresh cooked eggs are always easier to peel than trying to peel them after a day or two. I have over 30 years cooking experience . I love it that you talk about daily eating 4 to 6 eggs. I have been eating large numbers of eggs for decades with no adverse effects. I used to eat a dozen eggs for breakfast daily. Working in a hot restaurant makes it necessary to eat larger quantities of food. Love your video. Thanks for your scientific method. I have boiled up to 200 eggs at a time in a large pot, putting them into cold water and adding salt. Very few eggs were difficult to peel, and always peeled after running cold water over them for 20 minutes to cool them. The only thing ice does is cool them more quickly.

      Nothing wrong with eating Eggs, if you're thinking about Cholesterol, it doesn't work like that! The liver produces about 2,000mg on it's own daily, we need it, our brain is pretty much just Cholesterol and Fat, and also it's what transforms to D-Vitamin when sunlight hits your skin, and so, with the livers production, it's just produces less when you EAT something containing it, Cholesterol is NOT dangerous like they make you believe, it's one of the biggest scams to sell their pills!!!
      Also, it's not Fats that'll kill you, it's Carbs, so eat your Eggs with a clear conscience 🙂

      You were taught wrong. Bring the water to a medium-high boil and carefully deposit your eggs in the dish so they don't break. Cook them for 10 minutes and then place the dish under running cold water for a couple of minutes until the dish water is lukewarm. Remove eggs and place them in the store container they came in. After about 10-15 min., they're cold enough to peel.
      If you want a more runny yolk, experiment with shorter boiling times, like 6 min.

    I found the best way to peel an egg is with a spoon. Boil it, cool it with cold water then break up the shell and find a spot to stick the spoon in and go around the inside of the egg with a spoon and the shell will release very easily without taking pieces of egg with it. I have tried breaking up the egg and shaking it around in water, I have tried putting a hole on both ends and blowing, and just regular peeling with my fingers and the spoon method was the best option. I had never had a easier experience with peeling eggs till I used the spoon. I hope this helps you out as much as it did me

    I have found that the larger the eggs, the more time with boiling. For example, medium to large get around 10-12 minutes, while extra large to jumbo size get 14-16 minutes. Also, I agree to room temperature eggs are best and the ice bath gives "eggs-cellent" results.

    The trick with the ice bath is you have to actually leave them in the bath for at least 15mins then you remove them lightly tap both ends then lightly roll it then peel & they will peel off almost in one piece. If you have any still being problematic then peel them under cold running water.

    I use the ice bath to stop the eggs from continuing to cook. Also I steam the eggs in a steamer basket rather than boil them. The steaming helps prevent that grey/green halo around the yoke. So, the steps are
    1. Place refrigerated eggs into warm water for 10 minutes to bring them to room temp.
    2. Bring 3/4 inch of water to a boil in pan large enough to accommodate steamer basket.
    3. Put eggs in steamer basket and gently raise and hold sides of basket to cradle and contain eggs for their trip to the pan of water. Carefully put basket with eggs into pan, cover pan. You may reduce heat to medium at this point, it helps avoid cracking. Just make sure that steaming continues.
    4. Steam for 14 minutes, a bit less for small eggs, a bit more for extra large ones. Remove from heat.
    5. Place eggs in ice water or very cold water for 5 minutes (or until they're cool enough to handle) to stop the cooking process.
    6. Peel eggs, under cold running water if you like. You'll know you've done everything well if they peel easily and cleanly.
    P. S. Oh, to have your own chickens, lucky you!

    The purpose of the ice bath is to cool the egg quickly so that the yolk does not get that ugly grayish green coating caused by the sulphur reacting inside the egg. It really doesn't affect peeling significantly.

    @jeff130 2 года назад +1

    I make a lot of deviled eggs so hard cook a lot of eggs and want them to peel cleanly. I've used fresh off the farm and store bought eggs and have used various methods. What has worked best with any type of egg has been steam, either in an Instant Pot or with a egg cooker that I bought from Amazon, followed by an ice bath. Also, instead of simply cracking the egg once and trying to peel it, I tap it against the side of the sink several times then roll it in my palms. The peels generally come right off. Another method I've learned recently is to bake them in the oven for a while, but I don't remember the details on that. For baking, I used silicone muffin holders (with a metal cookie sheet for support). I think it was at 350 for some length of time, but don't remember how long. I used an ice bath afterwards and everything peeled like a dream. I'll have to try starting from room temperature eggs next time.
    One last thought is that, when I was still boiling the eggs instead of using steam, I always put the eggs in cool water and brought them to boiling together. This minimized the cracking when going straight from the fridge to the pot.

  • @corynsboy5814

    Thanks for this. I have 12 chickens and very fresh eggs are a nightmare to peel. I'm in England. We don't wash eggs and they are never sold in the chilled cabinet in the supermarkets. We keep them in the same isle as sugar and flour and most people don't keep them in the fridge at home. Ice baths do arrest cooking so if you are looking for a soft boil then you cool the egg quickly in ice and still get the soft yolk.

It might be a whole new method! 😳

    Seen this hack on RUclips from a woman that made a huge batch. Try placing cooled cracked eggs, preferable one at a time, in a glass jar with a little bit of water then shake the egg in a circle. The spinning will create enough cracks, and the spinning helps the egg shell flake and slide off. So easy.

    The old story about floating eggs only pertains to eggs that you are checking to see if they are still good; it has nothing to do with eggs that you are in the process of boiling. Living on a farm, I sometimes find a nest of eggs that I don't know are still good, or sometimes come across an egg that was under some nest material and don't know for how long. Whenever I am ready to cook some eggs, or eat them raw, I always put them into a bowl/pot of water to see if they are still good - the floaters are questionable and go to the pigs or dogs. The reason they float is because of the build up of gas from bacterial growth or decay. Also, it is fine for an egg on the bottom of the pot to have the big end up, that is just the air pocket.

      I have suspected for awhile that a lot of this depends on the breed of chicken and/or how they are raised. Growing up in the 60's I don't remember anyone having trouble peeling hard boiled eggs. Since that time, much has changed in the chicken/egg industry and most of it is not better for the chicken...or us.

  • @nicak6349
    @nicak6349 3 года назад

    I pressure cook them, 4 min. release the steam and put in a bowl of cold/cool not ice, water. Leave long enough for the egg to firm up and to form the air pocket between the layer of the membrane and the egg. Roll on the side of the sink and the shell falls off. Apparently the steam produced by going from hot to cool helps cause air to separate membrane from the egg.

  • @j7ndominica051
    @j7ndominica051 3 года назад +3

    The biggest difference comes from putting eggs in boiling water, which also allows to control the cooking time and minimizes spills from cracks. Cool them down under tap water partially, so that they can be touched. No hassle with ice. Other manipulations give no or marginal benefits. I also warm up eggs to room temperature or at least a little before boiling.
    You take your "safety" seriously in America. Eggs are cooked through at a hundred degrees, and all bacteria die. A cracked egg will always float, and HOT water will displace some of the egg and will spill out when peeled. Weak shells are sometimes visible from the outside when they are spotty or contain a translucent web.

    I usually steam them rather than boil them when I cook boiled eggs, I start off by getting the water started first, it does'nt matter if I start off with hot or cold water first, I've used both, it just means that the hot tap water gets to the boiling point a lot quicker, while that's happening, I take the eggs & poke a hole, or sometimes 2, in the rounded end where the little air pocket is with a sewing needle, to allow the steam to escape easily, but also being extra careful not to pierce the eggs membrane, this prevents the shells from cracking, also adding a couple of pinches of salt helps to make the water boil faster & also assists in preventing the shells from cracking too, I do that whether I'm going to steam them or boil them, I make sure that I put the eggs into the top part of the steamer by the time that the water starts to simmer & bubble & cover with a lid, You can also use a strainer or a sieve & put on a larger lid, if You have'nt got a steamer sauspan, if I boil them in the water, I leave the lid off & put either a dry wooden spoon or a wooden spatchula or a wooden rolling pin across the top of the sauspan, this prevents the water from boiling over, as the bubbles hit the dry wooden surfaces they pop & the water dropplets drop back into the sauspan, You might still have to top up the water occassionally, I use this wooden spoon technigue whenever I boil water in a sauspan as well, not just for boiled eggs ok, back to the eggs, I steam them for 5 & a half to 6 minutes for soft boiled eggs, 7 to 8 minutes for medium boiled eggs, & 8 to 9 minutes for hard boiled eggs, the egg shells act like little pressure cookers that hold the heat, so when they are taken off the boil they still continue to cook, I've seen People let them cool down by themselves but because of that pressure cooker effect happening as they are cooling down, that is what causes that greying to occur between the egg whites & the yolks, so I run them under cold running water for about 30 seconds & then let them sit in a bowl of cold water for about 3 minutes, this imedately stops the cooking process, I then crack the shells all the way round on a hard surface like a cutting board or a bench top, or you could also go around them with something hard like a meat mallet or a wooden rolling pin, they usually peel fairly easily using this method, I know that not everybody will agree with the way that I do it & that's ok, but this way works for Me, so to each His, or Her own I guess.

    Thanks for your video, but i wish someone would explain what has happened in egg production that has changed what used to be a simple breakfast making task some 30 to 50 years ago into an exercise in temper control. We ate lots of boiled eggs when i was growing up and i could peel them with my eyes closed. So what's changed? The only brand i buy now for this reason is Pete & Gerry's which is a very expensive brand of organic eggs, but they're wonderful and cold, warm old or new they almost never fail to peel perfectly. Thanks again!

    Once the water is boiling, shut the heat off ,let eggs sit in pot for 11 minutes than ice them

    I just take a spoon and chop through it and scoop out each half. Egg salad easier to make as is just eating them halved.

    Do you give your shells back to your chickens?

      Good idea, especially since she mentioned that her chickens don't absorb calcium very well. The eggshells should be more easily absorbed calcium than other sources.

    I know you won't see this because it's a year late. The method that I use is with a pressure cooker. I put a small rack in the pressure cooker and add a cup of water. I set the eggs on the rack and turn the pressure cooker for 5 minutes. I let them steam in the pressure cooker and then after that I let it sit for another five minutes in the pressure cooker. I release the pressure and put the eggs in an ice bath for 5 minutes. I have never had a problem with peeling, I also use 2-3 day old room temp eggs. Hope this helps!

    My grandma taught me to take a needle and poke a hole in the end of the egg that contains the air sac. I’ve never had an egg break when cooking when I do this. You can literally see bubbles coming out of the egg when you put it in the water.

    When I try to peel my fresh eggs, I have a problem with the wheel and egg white sticking to the shell. Drives me nuts, so I usually just cut the egg in half shell and all and scoop out each side with a spoon.

    I put my refrigerated eggs in a pan with tap water, let the water boil and turn off eggs and water closed for ten minutes, Crack them top and bottom and just roll them on the side and have EASY to peel eggs.

  • @roseyannette2030

    Two old sayings maybe more that are not just some old wives tale; first -when something starts cold it should be cooked from cold, prime example, the broken egg that was cold and gently put into hot/boiling water - more will crack than not crack. Another saying about eggs that I have found to be TOTALLY true. When you take a bowl, pot etc and add cold water, then add your cold eggs - the ones that are flat on the bottom are the freshest ones, the eggs that are hanging out in the middle of the water, floating but not half or more of the egg is on the VERY top will be the oldest eggs and a large number of eggs that are floaters should not be consumed. Another saying: when in doubt, throw it out. If you have EVER experienced true food poisoning, you will NOT mess around with the maybes!!! LOL Old, new, matters not, add salt to your water while it's cold, add your eggs, when they reach a boil, put the lid on the pan, turn off your heat and let them sit for 10 min, for the easiest to peel and the best cooked eggs. (the salt does NOT make the eggs salty, as long as the shells are not compromised (cracks of any kind) That 1/4 cup of salt will make the shells brittle and practically fall off the eggs. Hope this helps. just because you have never gotten sick, does NOT mean it can't happen, trust me, I learned the hard way and true food poisoning is no fun and I nearly died. Oh, yes, adding vinegar also makes peeling easier... I've even added vinegar AND salt, those were the BEST results.

  • @faithmoore8903

    I put room temp water with lots of salt. Add eggs to the room temp water. Allow the water to boil with eggs. I let them boil for five minutes then turn off the fire. Allow to cool. I roll the egg on the counter top and the shells almost fall off.

    If when you put the eggs in and right away they float then they are bad. Otherwise fine if it floats at the end of boiling.

    Well, the ice bath actually works like magic **IF you actually let the eggs sit for 15 to 20 minutes in it. You didn’t so …

  • @richie54
    @richie54 3 года назад +2

    I think the ice bath needs to bo about 20 minutes it cools the yolk so the egg can be eaten immediately.

  • @louisevad6091
    @louisevad6091 6 месяцев назад

    The reason for the ice bath is to stop the cooking. 13-14 minutes is the sweet spot for the cook. If you don't want the eggs white to fuse to the shell start the eggs in boiling water. It's that simple folks.

  • @vincevoland7056
    @vincevoland7056 3 месяца назад

    I boil, dump in a strainer, pour cold water on um. But she'll um while they are still hot. Peels come right off. It's like heating up metal to extract a bolt easier. When the eggs are still hot they are expanded.

    I never boil my eggs that long
    And i put them in the water when i start heating the water
    And just under 5 min gives me a nice soft boiled egg 4 1/2 min
    But from now on i will leave my eggs at room temp to see if there is any difference pealing them

    as long as you do not wash the eggs they will last a couple weeks on the counter do not wash them until you are ready to eat because there is a layer of antibacterial the hen puts on them

  • @vsvnrg3263
    @vsvnrg3263 3 года назад +2

    dunking in cold water after cooking stops the grey layer around the yolk. so for me that's necessary. i'm wasting my time watching egg peeling videos to find someone who is an equal to a german i used to work with who rolled his (or my ) eggs across the table and back again then peeled the shell off in ONE piece. every morning! and he could do it to mine too. so i doubt cooking techniques had much to do with it. even with his coaching i couldn't achieve his flawless results. after countless videos, i'm about to give up.

    Ice bath is 15min not 15 sec, also stops the cooking. Would be interesting to see the egg yolk difference between one that is peeled warm vs sat in ice bath for 15min.
