You really won't. It is a microscropic crack because air get in but the egg itself stays within the membrane. You literally tapp it like your using a drumstick (very loose in your hand) tap it about 2 maybe 3 times lightly and you will hear that snap but won't see a crack
I usually just tap lightly on the cooked egg until all sides are broken, then i peel one shard until the membrane is off and continue peeling, it works everytime. For people who's mad at me for saying this works everytime. I mean for me. I'm just sharing my thought about cooking a fricking egg stop beinh so sensitive.
Same but it does not always work. I have plenty of eggs where the shell AND membrane just will not pull off the egg and ends up pulling chunks of white off and making the egg ugly. The way she just showed is genius because it will allow water to enter the egg and get between the shell and the membrane which should make peeling 10 times easier
Guys...this was life changing for me. It freaking works!! I could never peel eggs perfectly and it really bothered me because I'm a perfectionist. This is the only method that worked for me. So grateful I found this video!!
Yes I know it's not hard to peel eggs. I have my own chickens so my eggs are as fresh as they can be. Fresh eggs are harder to peel, and this trick finally let me peel the eggs without damaging them which was my problem.
it worked for me too... I did 30 eggs the first time ... everyone "snapped" and peeled clean. What brilliant person came up with this? I grew up on an egg farm, I'm 72 years young and had never heard of this. BRILLIANT!
She's tapping on a raw egg where the air pocket is to get the elastic membrane to snap loose from the inside of the shell. That creates a small bubble for a drop of moisture * to enter and when it reaches 100°C it suddenly expands between the membrane and the shell faster than it can escape back through the shell. The steam pressure then loosens the membrane from the shell all around the inside of the egg. *(Water molecules can't pass quickly through the calcium shell, but gasses like oxygen and CO2 can.)
I cook my eggs by placing them in boiling water, then rinsing them off in cold water as soon as they're done cooking. As soon as the cold water has cooled them down, you immediately start to peel. This works EVERY time for me. I haven't had a hard time peeling my eggs since then.
Watch chef Pepin on boiling eggs! Small pin hole in bottom of rounded side before boiling prevents them from cracking. Use a push pin. Gently boil the eggs. Rapid boil makes them tough. The ice bath isn’t for easy peeling. It prevents the yolks from going green and smelling like sulfur due to iron concentration. For easy peeling just open them under running water.
@BasedCommentinTminus54321 the yolk turns green from cooking it too long. Also, the method she shows in the video really is fool proof. Peeling eggs under running water sucks, is a waste of water, and not everyone has a garbage disposal.
@@LizzCatt we had to call a plumber because our garbage disposal broke, before he left I asked what things should never be put down it, the first thing ge said was egg shells.
My method is boling them in salty water and when they're done, i put them under water, i shake them to crack them all sides and shake them into the water a little bit. The water goes inside from the cracks, creating a separation and then the egg gets peeled perfectly!! It's kinda the same with that, but without having the fear you will break the raw egg by hitting too hard, so it's easier. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I usually just boil as normal, then drain, replace the hot water with cold water from faucet. I crack on the counter then peel under the cooler water in the pot. It turns out perfectly peeled every time 👍
I learned this about 2 months ago. Not only do the eggs peel perfectly, but if you do this before you crack the raw egg, the egg whites slide right out, no slimy strings of egg white to shake from the shell!
All it takes is one look at this lady and you just know that it will work flawlessly. Just so there is no confusion about this. Lady you have a gorgeous face and a beautiful smile
The issue I found I was started mine in cold water so the membrane was stocking hence hard to peel. I boil the water then put them in and I no longer have peeling issues..peels off so easy.
Please don’t be this dumb. Have a bit of critical thinking in your life. Membranes are elastic, but they are NOT elastics. They don’t “snap” because you tap them. And you think boiling a cracked egg is helpful?😂 do you a lesson in physics?
@@imdrifter534 I had issues with my boiled eggs sticking. The membrane sticking to the shell is the reason. So I saw a video saying to boil the water first then put the eggs in. So ice been doing that for a while and thus far. After 12 min I can do 1 Crack and peels completely. Mind you I tried putting salt in cold water them out eggs and still didn't peel right.
I would assume by breaking that membrane it increases the volume so that it reduces the pressure inside the egg making it easier to peel. This works for the same reason as putting it in an ice bath causing a shrinkage of the protein. I will definitely have to try this out. Thank you
The best way I know is what I refer to as the "Japanese" method. Now I'm not sure at all if it originated in Japan, but I learned this technique watching videos of ramen restaurants in Japan preparing their eggs. All you do is boil your water in a pot, then add the eggs slowly to the boiling water and let it cook in the boiling water for a minimum of 6 min (very soft) to 10+ min. for hard boiled. Once you reach your desired time, drain the pot and fill the pot with cold water from the tap - no ice needed. The eggs always, well 99.9% of the time come out perfect when peeled. If you know when and where this method originated, please reply as I'm interested to learn if it really was from Japan or not.
It was a game changing moment when she shared that hack. I've been doing it ever since and I've had NO issues peeling my eggs yet! I also enjoy the little snap sound. So satisfying.
Yeah I just use salt in my water bring to a rolling boil, turn the heat down and go for 13min. Run cool water on them and peel while still a little warm. Perfect yolks and no tearing every time.
@@shejean If the egg cracks whilst boiling the salt stops the egg from leaking from the shell before it is cooked. Some use salt, some people use vinegar.
Hard-boiled eggs: I dump the hot water and fill/refill with cold water from the tap (not gonna use hot eggs for egg-salad...), then empty the water, shake the pot back'n'forth a bunch of times, bounce the eggs around in the pot, etc., 'til the sound of them bouncing gets "sandy" (you'll know when you hear it). At that point, you can almost squeeze the egg and get the shell to slide off like skinning a squirrel. Just slides off like it's wearing a jacket.
In Germany we have this egg utensil for cooked eggs. It's basically a needle on a stand. You gently press the raw egg on it and after cooking the shell comes off just as smoothly.
Just peel under water. Works every time. Membrane comes right off. Hot or cold, doesn’t matter. Easiest way that doesn’t take any special tapping or baking soda or whatever. Peel under water.
Been doing this 50 years only I don’t tap the egg, I simply boil the egg and crack on rounded end. The membrane will be stuck to back of the shell. Crack it, get the membrane with the shell & peel the egg. No fail.
I never keep eggs in the refrigerator so are my eggs aging quicker? If that's the case how come they last so long? Also why do the stores display them on shelves & not in refrigerators? What you are saying doesn't make sense. If leaving eggs out on the counter overnight ages them a week then all the eggs in the stores would be rotten
@@Angel-002I guess you are from Europe and the other commenter is from the USA. In the USA eggs are washed before being sold so their protective layer is gone and they need to be refrigerated. In Europe, eggs are sold unwashed and not refrigerated. I still put them in fridge when I buy them, just because they last forever this way
It really works! I tried it 🎉 works better than anything and I read through the comments and tried all that is mentioned. I used it on pasture raised eggs and they were fresh
You can also tap the side of the egg and roll it firmly across a plate until the shell is completely cracked. You can slip the caps off in 2 pieces. That’s how we make confetti trick eggs. Edit: The eggs have to be relatively fresh. Less than two weeks or the membrane and shell will stick.
I boil the eggs for about 10 minutes and run cold water into the pot till they're cool. I tap each side of the boiled egg a few times on the counter as well as the sides, then gently roll it on the countertop, and I peel. Usually it comes off in one or a few pieces the way I do it! This is an awesome method too that i can try next time
I'm going to try this because I get so sick off destroying eggs because the shell won't peel off cleanly. We have 19 hens! The freshest eggs & organic free ranged. I sure hope this works!!❤
Peel them as soon as you take them out after rinsing with cold water. You also should break the shell all around before peeling & just make sure the membrane is with the shell. Always works for me.
It also matters of how fresh the eggs are. The fresher they are the harder it is to peel them, no matter what you do. I tried the age method. Our hen laid in the morning, we boiled the egg right away...and it was a pain (no matter what methods were used). Bought eggs from the store, boiled right away, a little better. Let the egg sit for a week in the fridge...peels right off.
I boil mine as usual, ice them, and then crack the entire shell (roll it around), and re-submerge. By the time I've done the last of my 1.5 dozen, the first one has separated from it's membrane enough. When you peel, you want the slick membrane to slide away from the egg while peeling. This is difficult to describe but it happens as you go.
You can do the tapping when it's cooked. When it's still raw, the risk of broken shell is higher. The result is kinda the same. I did that many times. Works just as well.
@DeJourni Garrett I season the water with Sea Salt & Olive Oil when boiling the eggs. When you pull them out and crack they are flavored & no need to add additional ma, except maybe some black pepper. Give it a try sometime!
if you use an egg cooker from Dash, it instructs you to poke a small hole in each egg before putting them in the egg cooker. Do an ice bath when they’re done and that’s it! so easy to peel
That's what I've been doing for the past 30 years basically since i was 6 or something. and it's the easiest way. It's kinda weird she doesn't know about it.
I always get the glued on shells on the egg while peeling. In the proces even chunks of egg attached on the peeled egg shell parts. So always eggsastrous !!! Snap
This works because when the inner membrane is broken the steam builds up around the egg separating the rest of the membrane, making it not to stick to the egg!
after you take your boiled eggs off heat throw away the hot water and take cool water (doesnt have to be iced, just regular tap water) crack open all the eggs and put it back in the cool water, let water seep through between the egg and the eggshell membrane. it always works for me
4-5 minutes in Instant Pot or Ninja Foodie, and they practically peel themselves. Soooo much faster lol! It even works on fresh and thick-shell free range.
I've never tried to put my eggs in my instant pot.. I'm scared 😂.. I usally bring water to a boil add my eggs and boil for 11 minutes then cool down in running water.the peel really easily... Do you think in the instant pot it would be done faster than this?? How much water do I put and at which setting??
@@one2786 I do 4 or 5 minutes on high and then 5 minutes to release. Use 1 cup of water and you can do a whole dozen eggs. They peel beautifully every time, even fresh eggs.
I've been doing this for a while now. I tap all my eggs straight from the grocery store. It also helps the egg fully release when you crack them for cooking and separating the whites. Good job!!
i lightly tap a boiled egg on the counter until the shell cracks a little bit and then, i cannot stress this enough, GENTLY roll it back and forth on the counter. membrane and all comes off easily.
Eggs almost always peel that well if you cook them in an instant pot. I haven't had nearly as much trouble peeling them since I started cooking them that way.
I've learned that peeling eggs when they're still warm is really the trick, that's why you were able to peel it so easily. When they cool or become cold, that's when it becomes really difficult to peel the egg. If you take a cold boiled egg out of the refrigerator and try to peel it, it's hard. If you run it under warm water first then peel it, it's easy.
If you are using fresh eggs then peeling them when warm will still be chore, sorry. But old eggs just peel well no matter what you do with them after boiling.
I asked a baked egg vendor who has been baking (in a pot with red onions) eggs for almost 40 years about this issue. Well i believe him when he said "in all my years preparing eggs there is no special trick, its all about the egg and the hen". No tapping, no weird contraptions, no fresh or refrigerated matters for easy peeling. Its all about the egg. Some eggs are laid and are so easy to peel that it doesnt matter what you do beforehand and some eggs are so fused to the shell and membrane that whatever you do results in half the white sticking to the shell when its peeled.
Disagree. I tried this and it really does work when usually my peeled eggs look like Wolverine juggled them. I had, for the 1st time in my life, perfectly, beautifully perfect peeled hard boiled eggs.
Bring water to boil...add eggs. Boil 15 minutes. Pour out hot water. Rinse with cold water for one minute. Let eggs sit for two minutes in cold water. Crack by tapping one small spot then roll egg gently on countertop until entire shell cracks into small pieces, then peel. Be sure to tear membrane and it will peel with ease. As a weightlifter of 47 years who's eaten thousands of hardboiled eggs, trust me I am an expert.
Whoa! A 15 minute boil?! Interesting. Perfect eggs I've leanred in Culinary school: Place your eggs into the pot with the cold water. Bring that water up to a boil and TURN OFF. Let sit for 10 mins, and you have creamy bright, slightly loose but not runny yolk. Let sit for 12 mins, and you have perfectly hard boiled opaque yoke.
Placing the eggs in an ice bath stops the cooking process by rapidly cooling the eggs so that they won’t continue to cook after you take them away from the heat source. Eggs have carry over cooking time of 30 seconds, that’s why it’s pretty easy to overcook your eggs. Maybe it also helps peel the eggs but that’s why you would use an ice bath straight away. 🥰 cool video even tho I know I’ll break almost every egg I attempt.
Or you can just use a steamer…. Or you can put the eggs in cold water and wait to see a boil then remove from fire and let them sit for 10 minutes in the water covered.
After cooling the cooked egg slightly in ice water, roll the egg on the counter or cutting board, applying pressure with the palm of your hand (you may need to start the process with a firm little "pop" on the countertop before rolling). The shell will come off almost intact, as the pieces will stick to the lining membrane. Makes cleanup a lot easier, no more piles of tiny sharp shell pieces everywhere.
This is awesome! I steam my eggs and poke a small hole in the round part which gives the same results and a perfect hard boiled egg everytime because uts steamed lol I also nvr give them an ice bath. Always found them easier to peel warm. I let them naturally cool for 30 mins - an hr before placing yhem into the fridge, if I'm wanting them right away i let them cool for 15 mins then peel and enjoy 😊 but this is great to know so I'll try this next time instead of piercing a tiny hole ❤
Please Boil Place in ice bath to cool Only crack at round end (Has an air pocket) Peel Place back on water For second if needed *helps release shell Does exactly same thing!
I'm so confused. I have always just boiled the egg and then let them cool a bit and then crack off the shell. Nothing seemed different from when she did it. And who the hell is using baking soda and vintage to crack eggs shells off. Wtf
I tried every technique for easy to peel hardboiled eggs and none worked well. Then I discovered that steaming them for 14 minutes works perfectly every time.
Yes, it works. I have chickens, thus fresh eggs. The membrain does not have enough time to separate as the store bought eggs do. This tap with the spoon separates the thin membrain so shell peeling is easy.
I'm over here knowing FULL WELL I'm gonna be breaking eggs in my attempts...
LITERALLY, like I’ll try it but I just know it’ll either be not rough enough or too rough…
Same here
@user-nl4gp3co7g 😅 same! I'm so heavy handed

I think it's just when the membrane cracks that makes the egg peel easy.
I use heavily salted water and the salt breaks down and softens the shell for an easy peel after flushed with cool water

Edit: The eggs have to be relatively fresh. Less than two weeks or the membrane and shell will stick.
I beg toe differ 🤔🤔🤔 look in any older cookbook. Too fresh or too high temp affects them
She tapped the egg to loosen the membrane before she cooked.
The older the eggs, the easier to peel when boiled!
I'm gunna try this next time I boil an egg! These tiktok hacks just make life so much easier!
🙌🏻
That is a perfectly 🥰 💞 boiled egg 🥚. Will try it.
Steam them instead of boiling them. Easy peel every time no matter how fresh they are.
Do you still use the same cooking time
it's easy after boiling just crack it all around on a hard surface that will help peel it easy
I buy them already cooked and peeled from the store. Works EVERY time!
Me too it’s worth the lil extra money 😂
yuk
Enjoy your eggs and chemicals!😂
Because they stay looking fresh in those bags for days and days because of magic.😂
@@JJthename55 EXACTLY = preservatives
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
girl !!!! I cant peel eggs to save my life i wind up with just the yolk when im done peeling !! thank you so much !!
You’re welcome ☺️
Lol 😂 we understand!!!
I boil the eggs for about 10 minutes and run cold water into the pot till they're cool. I tap each side of the boiled egg a few times on the counter as well as the sides, then gently roll it on the countertop, and I peel. Usually it comes off in one or a few pieces the way I do it! This is an awesome method too that i can try next time
You can also use the 5-5-5 method in a pressure cooker! Perfect easy to peel eggs every time.
@@autumn8987 hmm i have a feeling i would mess that up lol but thank you
I'm going to try this because I get so sick off destroying eggs because the shell won't peel off cleanly. We have 19 hens! The freshest eggs & organic free ranged. I sure hope this works!!❤
Right because the pasture eggs I get never peel easy like the regular store eggs did 😩
You can also throw in a few teaspoons of salt and they peel perfectly without having to go to each egg trying to see if the membrane broke correctly.
That's because they're so fresh. Older eggs peel easier.
Peel them as soon as you take them out after rinsing with cold water. You also should break the shell all around before peeling & just make sure the membrane is with the shell. Always works for me.
It also matters of how fresh the eggs are. The fresher they are the harder it is to peel them, no matter what you do. I tried the age method. Our hen laid in the morning, we boiled the egg right away...and it was a pain (no matter what methods were used). Bought eggs from the store, boiled right away, a little better. Let the egg sit for a week in the fridge...peels right off.
I boil mine as usual, ice them, and then crack the entire shell (roll it around), and re-submerge. By the time I've done the last of my 1.5 dozen, the first one has separated from it's membrane enough.
When you peel, you want the slick membrane to slide away from the egg while peeling. This is difficult to describe but it happens as you go.
cool thanks for the tip. may I ask how you use a dozen hard boiled eggs? is it for a big batch of egg salad
@@theresasmith7230 deviled eggs 🥚
Never heard of this and it is kinda cool. I never have a problem peeling hard boiled eggs. No vinegar, no salt, no tapping. Maybe I am just lucky?
You can do the tapping when it's cooked. When it's still raw, the risk of broken shell is higher. The result is kinda the same. I did that many times. Works just as well.
Ooh! You cook them first, I keep trying to peel them raw and it makes a mess.
It's called poaching.
Also let eggs sit out of cold fridge for a few minutes before putting into boiling water that works too
I put nothing in my water for my egg and I peel it under cold water. It's comes out great
This is what I do. It always works. No need to take any extra step 😅
@DeJourni Garrett I season the water with Sea Salt & Olive Oil when boiling the eggs. When you pull them out and crack they are flavored & no need to add additional ma, except maybe some black pepper. Give it a try sometime!
I just leave it on for a nice crunchy egg in the morning
Lol
Mmmm calcium
😂😂
We have chickens, so we have really fresh eggs. Adding a tablespoon of salt is what we do. Eggs straight from the yard will peel without a problem.
I tried this, and it absolutely worked. Love it.
OMG this will be my go to method thanks for sharing
if you use an egg cooker from Dash, it instructs you to poke a small hole in each egg before putting them in the egg cooker. Do an ice bath when they’re done and that’s it! so easy to peel
That's what I've been doing for the past 30 years basically since i was 6 or something. and it's the easiest way. It's kinda weird she doesn't know about it.
Oh seriously 😳 I have the egg cooker and never do it, me thinking oh that little machine doesn’t work 😂😂😂😂
Which end ? The pointier end or rounder end ?
@@SleeplessinOC it tells you in the instructions to do the round end, like how the lady in the video said as well.
I always get the glued on shells on the egg while peeling. In the proces even chunks of egg attached on the peeled egg shell parts. So always eggsastrous !!! Snap
I shake them in a small mason jar with my hand over the top and the shell separates from the cooked egg.
This works because when the inner membrane is broken the steam builds up around the egg separating the rest of the membrane, making it not to stick to the egg!
after you take your boiled eggs off heat
throw away the hot water and take cool water (doesnt have to be iced, just regular tap water) crack open all the eggs and put it back in the cool water, let water seep through between the egg and the eggshell membrane.
it always works for me
Thank you, this is much easier than trying to tap a raw egg without cracking it!
I never have trouble peeling my eggs since I started cooking them in the rice cooker. Makes eggs better than rice. ❤️it!
Don’t cook eggs in rice cooker - haiyaah
My stupid ass was doing this AFTER I already boiled them 😂
It works that way too tho. I do it that way. 🤷🏾♀️
Lol
I've been doing this for YEARS!!!!😅 Everyone always wonders why I get perfectly peeled boiled eggs. They never listened. ❤ I'm 33, btw
i mean that’s the normal way
@@nmpoy maybe I just haven’t perfected it yet, cause it only works like 50% of the time for me
4-5 minutes in Instant Pot or Ninja Foodie, and they practically peel themselves. Soooo much faster lol! It even works on fresh and thick-shell free range.
I've never tried to put my eggs in my instant pot.. I'm scared 😂.. I usally bring water to a boil add my eggs and boil for 11 minutes then cool down in running water.the peel really easily... Do you think in the instant pot it would be done faster than this?? How much water do I put and at which setting??
@@one2786 I do 4 or 5 minutes on high and then 5 minutes to release. Use 1 cup of water and you can do a whole dozen eggs. They peel beautifully every time, even fresh eggs.
Is it just me...nobody mentioned that this lady is simply exquisite.
I've been doing this for a while now. I tap all my eggs straight from the grocery store. It also helps the egg fully release when you crack them for cooking and separating the whites. Good job!!
It also works after the egg is boiled. Crack the egg first on the round part then the pointy part and the shell practically peels itself
Yea that’s how I do it lol
Yup, me three, I smack the top and bottom after I boil it and peel it off
Yup, me three, I smack the top and bottom after I boil it and peel it off
I’ve been doing it wrong tap the pointed end on counter 😮 😂
Thank you, this is much easier than trying to tap a raw egg without cracking it!
Your nail polish color is gorgeous!
I always crack the round end first, then remove the shell along with the membrane.
Give “this” lady her shout out!
Creators that create using others ideas and not giving them credit is lame😂😂👎👎
For what? It didnt make any difference.
My mind blown 🤯Thank you Lady 🙌🏽
So.. You do this BEFORE boiling?
i lightly tap a boiled egg on the counter until the shell cracks a little bit and then, i cannot stress this enough, GENTLY roll it back and forth on the counter. membrane and all comes off easily.
Eggs almost always peel that well if you cook them in an instant pot. I haven't had nearly as much trouble peeling them since I started cooking them that way.
I’ve found the Instant Pot not only gives me perfectly peelable eggs reliably, but also the whole process is faster.
This is similar to poking a whole at the bottom. It releases the air pocket in the egg which causes a smooth easy to peel egg.
Yes! Plus that method let’s out the sulfur smelling gasses that cause them to stink up the fridge, and keeps the yolk from turning grey!
Do you do this before boiling the eggs?
@@Lady_Marinade yes
I do the same before boiling the egg
Doesn’t it cause egg to leak in the water 🤷🏻♀️
I've learned that peeling eggs when they're still warm is really the trick, that's why you were able to peel it so easily. When they cool or become cold, that's when it becomes really difficult to peel the egg. If you take a cold boiled egg out of the refrigerator and try to peel it, it's hard. If you run it under warm water first then peel it, it's easy.
no its very hard, just tried it
If you are using fresh eggs then peeling them when warm will still be chore, sorry. But old eggs just peel well no matter what you do with them after boiling.
I asked a baked egg vendor who has been baking (in a pot with red onions) eggs for almost 40 years about this issue. Well i believe him when he said "in all my years preparing eggs there is no special trick, its all about the egg and the hen". No tapping, no weird contraptions, no fresh or refrigerated matters for easy peeling. Its all about the egg. Some eggs are laid and are so easy to peel that it doesnt matter what you do beforehand and some eggs are so fused to the shell and membrane that whatever you do results in half the white sticking to the shell when its peeled.
Disagree. I tried this and it really does work when usually my peeled eggs look like Wolverine juggled them. I had, for the 1st time in my life, perfectly, beautifully perfect peeled hard boiled eggs.
I saw Ina Gardner tap both ends of boiled eggs and the shell and membrane came completely off. Been doing it that way for maybe a decade now 😊
Gonna try this! 😮 Half my deviled eggs end up as egg salad. 😢
Now I am going to have to try this. I butcher my eggs every single time I try to make deviled eggs.
Likewise. They usually come out looking like rats had chewed them.
It works as long as you don’t plan on dying the eggs as it causes the shells to crack rendering them useless for dyeing!
I will try this I never tried that way before great jobs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just roll it on the table. You're welcome!
No need to tap each egg, that's not efficient.
Bring water to boil...add eggs. Boil 15 minutes. Pour out hot water. Rinse with cold water for one minute. Let eggs sit for two minutes in cold water. Crack by tapping one small spot then roll egg gently on countertop until entire shell cracks into small pieces, then peel. Be sure to tear membrane and it will peel with ease. As a weightlifter of 47 years who's eaten thousands of hardboiled eggs, trust me I am an expert.
Whoa! A 15 minute boil?! Interesting. Perfect eggs I've leanred in Culinary school: Place your eggs into the pot with the cold water. Bring that water up to a boil and TURN OFF. Let sit for 10 mins, and you have creamy bright, slightly loose but not runny yolk. Let sit for 12 mins, and you have perfectly hard boiled opaque yoke.
I do this and it works
@chefcjnobles1680 I do it same way. Easy, quick, never an overcooked egg yolk!
😮 the way my jaw dropped at the results. thank you for this hack!
You’re welcome ☺️
Not necessary. Just roll them gently on the counter after cooled and peel them in cold water.
Placing the eggs in an ice bath stops the cooking process by rapidly cooling the eggs so that they won’t continue to cook after you take them away from the heat source. Eggs have carry over cooking time of 30 seconds, that’s why it’s pretty easy to overcook your eggs. Maybe it also helps peel the eggs but that’s why you would use an ice bath straight away. 🥰 cool video even tho I know I’ll break almost every egg I attempt.
Always put your eggs in boiling water and just rinse off with cold water. No need to put them in an ice bath. Easily peels every time!
Or you can just use a steamer…. Or you can put the eggs in cold water and wait to see a boil then remove from fire and let them sit for 10 minutes in the water covered.
That doesn’t always work, especially with home raised chicken eggs… I’ve tried majority of everything other then this hack
Doesn't work. I've done both ways.
After cooling the cooked egg slightly in ice water, roll the egg on the counter or cutting board, applying pressure with the palm of your hand (you may need to start the process with a firm little "pop" on the countertop before rolling). The shell will come off almost intact, as the pieces will stick to the lining membrane. Makes cleanup a lot easier, no more piles of tiny sharp shell pieces everywhere.
Does not work all the time. I peeled a lot of eggs in my time.
This is awesome! I steam my eggs and poke a small hole in the round part which gives the same results and a perfect hard boiled egg everytime because uts steamed lol I also nvr give them an ice bath. Always found them easier to peel warm. I let them naturally cool for 30 mins - an hr before placing yhem into the fridge, if I'm wanting them right away i let them cool for 15 mins then peel and enjoy 😊 but this is great to know so I'll try this next time instead of piercing a tiny hole ❤
Please
Boil
Place in ice bath to cool
Only crack at round end
(Has an air pocket)
Peel
Place back on water
For second if needed
*helps release shell
Does exactly same thing!
So tap before boiling? And then boil 6.5 mins. You need to be more clear for us challenged people. lol
Do you want her to eat them for you too?
I'm so confused. I have always just boiled the egg and then let them cool a bit and then crack off the shell. Nothing seemed different from when she did it. And who the hell is using baking soda and vintage to crack eggs shells off. Wtf
Wonder how many people are going to be out there breaking eggs a d spilling them all over the place.
I tried every technique for easy to peel hardboiled eggs and none worked well. Then I discovered that steaming them for 14 minutes works perfectly every time.
Yes, it works. I have chickens, thus fresh eggs. The membrain does not have enough time to separate as the store bought eggs do. This tap with the spoon separates the thin membrain so shell peeling is easy.
