    Having trouble removing egg shell. Shell sticks to egg. Suggestions?

    • @edro3838
      @edro3838 2 года назад +32

      Put eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, cover remove from heat and let sit for 12 min. Pour off water, shake/crack shell a bit in pan, run cold water over eggs put in ice bath. Let sit for 4-5 min, remove and roll them gently on countertop to crack shell, peel under running water for best results. Eggs that are a couple weeks old work best for hard boiling.

      One other thing is to make sure you are peeling the membrane off along with the shell, rather than just the shell.

      Best advice on this I've had is use older eggs

    • @Revelwoodie
      @Revelwoodie 2 года назад +25

      As another commenter said, don't use eggs that are too fresh. We've been so committed to getting fresh foods in the recent years, we sometimes forget that fresh isn't always best. Hard boiled eggs is one of those times.
      Another trick some people have suggested is poking a hole in the shell with a thumb tack before boiling. Yes, this works. Essentially, you're poaching the egg in the shell. However, you are compromising the shell, and therefore negating one of the best features of the hard boiled egg -- room temperature stability. So you can't use those "poked" eggs at a picnic, in a packed lunch, or on a road trip. They must be refrigerated, and they'll keep 2-3 days max. But if you're boiling eggs in the morning to use in the afternoon, go for it. Easy fix.
      My best advice, honestly? Experiment with different producers. This was not a problem 20 years ago. Now it's an epidemic. Like milk, modern advances in product stability have come with some unfortunate side effects. There are some "brand" eggs that I've noticed will NEVER separate from their membranes, no matter what you do. Try some different brands, and make notes. If you make a lot of boiled eggs, it might even be worth your while to find a local producer on the way back from your supermarket, and add an "egg stop" to your shopping.
      EDIT: And yes, as the first reply is telling you, the eggs must be COLD when you peel them. And yeah, peeling under cold running water will help with stubborn eggs. Lift as much of the shell as you safely can, then run your thumb under the edge, separating the membrane from the egg white. The membrane is the important part.

      @taritabonita22 2 года назад +7

      Salt cold water boil cook as desired rinse cold water put in bowl of ice water, cool. Then crack shell at round side and peel under cold water removing membrane.
      Once you get it it’s really easy.

He, Martin Yan, Julia Child, and the rest of the PBS chefs taught me to love cooking and inspired me to go to culinary school after high school. I am indebted to them. I've made my eggs the Pepin way for the last 30 years and Ill pass on the method, just as he did.

    Is anyone else really impressed with his casual display of some serious knife skills?

    Wow... so I made the Mollet eggs florentine last night... absolutely delicious!! I am not what I would call a great cook- but I did follow everything he said, from the method of cooking the eggs- making the sauce... etc. It was amazing, and really not hard. I love the way he encourages people to cook and he really details the things that make the food turn out just perfectly. I love these videos.

    I love that he says "if I had to choose one food" and then immediately says two things without even noticing. That's a man who loves food.

    Holy shit! That part where you put in raw egg to help stop the cooking is genius!
