Fr tho man I am curious how can someone be bad at peeling eggs , I don't mean it's stupid or bad but I am curious on how can someone be bad at such a simple task
@@Koldyuki maybe they don't know about these tricks. For example i boil eggs and i lose a lot of time trying to peel eggs.i can't get ice so all of these tricks, i can't use em
My personal favorite is throwing a couple of the hard boiled eggs in a Tupperware with a little bit of water and you shake the heck out of it, somehow the friction takes all the shells off perfect
I found out that putting the eggs in boiling water basically fixed the problem for me. I let them heat up with the water in the past and that made the shell stick
Dont use cold eggs to start and that also helps. Eggs do not need to be refrigerated. Most people dont buy fresh eggs so they dont know this. However if you buy eggs from the grocery store cooler you just keep them chilled from them on. Before boiling them take them out and let them come to room temp, then add them to warm water. Then warmer. Then put them in the pot.
When you have the eggs in cold water after cooking, just crack them while they are underwater, the water will get under the membrane preventing it from sticking to the whites. Without that issue its significantly harder to mess up.
The best method in my opinion is to boil the water first, then, when it’s boiling, add the eggs in. This quickly cooks the outside layer, meaning that it detached from the shell and comes off VERY easily. Credit: bong eats
Also, you can very gently add them in to avoid cracking, but cracking shouldn’t matter so much SINCE the outer layer is cooked, meaning that the egg won’t leak out (the outer layer is a wall to prevent the innards from leaking)
@@deedeeannash I’ve always been taught to add eggs to boiling water. You just lower them down gently and nothing cracks. Also, I never add anything to the water. Just boil the eggs, dump them in cold water and wait till they’ve cooled down enough to touch.
Boil water, add 2 tablespoons of vinegar, add eggs, and boil for 15 minutes. Add boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water immediately. After they're cool, tap both ends of the egg onto the countertop, turn the egg onto the side and roll. The shell comes right off. I've been doing this for years, and it works every time. It saves me time too. You're welcome. ✌🏾😁
That's how my Mom, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother always did it. Loved doing it as a kid during family holidays, always made me feel like part of the kitchen gang.
You can crack it from the bottom instead of doing it sideways, i find it much easier, theres space at the bottom and when you crack it you have a place through which you can slide your finger through and gently peel it off 😊
Totally me 🤣 I cannot peal an egg to save my life, I can do almost anything else but peal an egg properly, and I've tried all of those methods and my eggs still come out looking like the ones you showed in the beginning
One really easy way to take the shell off is when it's in the ice bath just tap the flatter end of an egg on the side off the bowl and shake It underwater and then just put it in a container with a lid on it put some ice water in and swirl it a few times the shell should come off
If you like soft yolks: - Wait until water boils - Leave eggs in for 6 minutes and 9 seconds (optional: add some vinegar if the egg breaks and the eggwhites come out; the vinegar keeps the whites attached) - Put eggs into some cold water to stop cooking and detach the eggs from the membrane (wait a few minutes)
Honestly for me it's just really way easier if I Crack it at the bottom where there's a little big of an air gap so I can get a lot of shell at once with my thumb
TIP: if you own chickens and using fresh eggs, wait about 3-4 days and it will peel really well. Don’t hatch the day of! This is the only thing i follow for my chickens eggs and they peel great
Tap the eggs with the bottom of a spoon until you hear a *pop* sound, then boil. This breaks the membrane inside the egg. Also I crack and roll them under running water to peel them and I get perfect eggs 9/10 times. 😁
I just saw the spoon method but it was used in a different way. You use the spoon before you cook them. You tap on the can't remember which side. Until you hear a pop. Then you boil your eggs and the shell should come right off. So next time I boil eggs that's what I'm going to do. By doing that with the spoon from my understanding it breaks the membrane from the egg shell from the inside. I don't know if anybody else has ever noticed that when you boil an egg there's a film over top of it if it doesn't come off during the boiling time it's a pain in the butt cuz it will take half the egg off of it. I hope this helped others.
You should make a hole on the bottom part of the egg (with like a needle). All of the air in the egg should be pushed out of the egg while cooking (preventing the egg from breaking) and once you put the egg in cold water, a layer of water will form all around the egg under the shell (due to the leak of air in the egg, which will cause the water to be sucked inside), making peeling super easy and leaving the egg without the damn bump that it always has (which is caused by the air trapped inside)
After I pour the water off I boiled them in, I immediately put them in cold water like that. And I let them cool down a minute or so, then I use the rolling method. Which works like a charm every single time.
For people that can't handle loud noises at times, you can use another boiled egg to crack another's shell. You will end up with 1 champion egg but it's easier to put up with 1 egg than multiple. I have migranes so sometimes I can't handle loud noises so it helps 😊
I like to use a pin to carefully poke a hole in the bottom of the egg with a push pin causing the hot water to surround the egg forcing it not to bond with the shell and then shocking in ice water. The sudden heat change causes a vacuum, sucking in cold water thus adding extra shell removal lubricant
Once the eggs cool, float them in warm water using a sealable container. Add a few capfuls of oil in water and shake the sealed container. The eggs should then slip right out of their cracked shells.
The best way to remove egg shells from your hard boiled eggs is to put them in the pot of warm water and let boil for about ten minutes. Then put cold water in the same pot letting them soak for about fifteen minutes. Then after they are cold enough take one at a time and tap gently on each end and sides and all around and put them back into the cold water. After about five minutes take one at a time rolling them under the cold water in your pot and they'll come right off. As long as you have them in the cold water with the water soaking into the cracks of the shells that's what causes them to fall off easily. I've been doing this for years and I know you'll be happy with this method.
Once I started cooking mine in my pressure cooker and I peel while still warm, after just a few minutes in a bowl of cool water, I've had no issues peeling at all, they slide right off! Small victories make me very happy😁
Anyone that has an insta pot or other pressure cooker look into it. I was hesitant when I found out it was a thing but I tried it and I never boil eggs any other way now. Once you crack the shells they practically fall off.
A chef told me to boil the eggs and then put a lid on it and let it sit like 10 minutes and then cool them in water and I did it a few times and it works. I also bang the egg a couple times to crack it and then roll the egg in-between both my hands not to hard and that definitely helps it peel fast the whole thing. You may need try it out and practice it but it definitely helps
Don't use too fresh eggs. I piercing eggs with pin on the wider top of egg (the bubble chamber). Put them in boiling water (the air will go out by the hole, and the shell don't crack). After 13 min. I change boiling water with cold. Waiting some time and crack the shells (not peel) and leave in cold water about 30 min. Remember, start peel them from the pointed top.
Only need the ice bath at the end. Leave them in ice water for about 5 min completely submerged. Crack it all over as much as you can without squashing the egg. Peel. If it gets “stuck” put it back in the ice water and finish peeling it at the same time.
Depends on how fresh your eggs are too. I have chickens, if you boil and peel eggs a day after they're laid they always look like they've been mauled lol
When I do it, I remove from heat, drain the water, tap each egg to crack the shell all the way around and then place in iced water. It causes the inner membrane to shrink away from the shell. Voila! Perfectly peeled eggs.
My method is simple and works perfectly. After boiling eggs, I put them in plain water then tap egg on both ends then roll them swiftly back andd forth in my plams till the peel start to separate from egg
I don't add ice in a bowl. I just empty the boiling water from pot and run the pot with eggs under cold tap for 10 seconds, empty it them add bit more cold water and let eggs sit in it for 30secs before shelling it because I like my eggs warm...never had a problem.
My moms best friend works at a place where he has to boil and peal tons of eggs at a time. He says that you add salt to the water before boiling. Make sure to dissolve it before adding the eggs in. He peals eggs one handed and swears by this method because he’s tried several and I swear by it too although I don’t boil eggs nearly as much.
I can’t believe that there’s so many people out there doing this wrong. Can you bring the water to a boil first . Then you drop the eggs in the water and then turn the heat down to medium with a lid on them for 13 minutes. Then put them in an ice water bath for about 10 minutes and they will peel perfect every time.
My mom actually taught me is that when you do eggs you have to put cold water instead of hot or warm because it helps the eggs not to crack and help peel easier
Make a small hole at the top and a big hole at the bottom run it under water from the big hole and then below it should pop right out and if it doesn’t then it should make an air pocket around the egg or you can just pull it out
My suggestion is add salt to the water. As they boil. The salt being abrasive will thinner the egg shell making it easier to peel away once you have cooled it down in cold water
I found a method that works well for me five minutes into boiling I take my spoon and the backside of it I give each egg a tap it cracks the shell thus allowing a little water in and the shell slides right off

It works but I’ve never added any oil to the container. What would be the point of doing that, I wonder.

You could also 9 min cook time and for peeling put it in a cup and shake the shell will break along and it will be super easy to get it of

Well I just boil them then put them in cold water and peel it works.
That's how my Mom, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother always did it. Loved doing it as a kid during family holidays, always made me feel like part of the kitchen gang.
Me too
I add baking soda, changing the ph dramatically in either direction works very well
Put the egg in a cup once boiled shake the cup for about 10 seconds then peel it helps

the spoon method is the BEST, i love it
tip from me , even if it is painfull, peel them when they are HOT, or at least do not shock them into ice, the shell will stick to the eggy
TIP: if you own chickens and using fresh eggs, wait about 3-4 days and it will peel really well. Don’t hatch the day of! This is the only thing i follow for my chickens eggs and they peel great

Instant pot, then ice water… best method ever!
Whack/slice it in 2 with the side of your spoon, then scrape the shell off of each half (like the last tip)
Works every time!
Will try these next time, thanks
Super fresh eggs are hard to peel. Use the older eggs in your fridge....they peel no problem.

I usually do the spoon thingy because there is usually an air ball in there and you crack it there and stick the spoon in and off it slides. Lolz
All you have to do is add salt to the water when your boiling them.
Yes... lol

smack the ends on a table and peel just a hole.on the ends, then blow on the skinnier end. it pops right out perfect!
Great advice on cracking hard boiled eggs.
I love using the spoon method. It works great for me, but I did not know about the vinegar.

I just tap it lightly from all sides before peeling it. It comes perfect everytime ☺️ Do try it if you're reading ❤️
You can also shake the eggs in a Tupperware container with cold water in it and the top on the container.
After they are cooked drain water and with lid on pan shake back and forth and shell comes off making it easy to finish them up.
Break the top and bottom then blow through it pushes the egg out the other side. Used to do this as a kid bc it was just fun.
My fav is break the top and bottom shell and blow from the top ❤❤❤
Pls try it too
It's a game changer
After cooking in boiling water, put in cold water. Then it is easier to peel as it wont stuck to the shell

I'm learning culinary and I still didn't know how to peel eggs so this is a life saver
My suggestion is add salt to the water. As they boil. The salt being abrasive will thinner the egg shell making it easier to peel away once you have cooled it down in cold water
What does the vinegar do that would make it easier to peel??
I learned the spoon method from Cook's Country.
No need to add vinegar, the shell weaken when it move from hot to cold temperature, the temperature shock make it weak enough to peel easily.
Put it in a cup, cover the top with fingers and shake untill u see the egg shell loosen or peel off. Its so easy and work very good 🥳
I’ve tried all those methods, and more. Best way I’ve found is to use an egg cooker.
