How to hard boil eggs so the shell doesn't stick?

your eggs are too fresh.

my husband and i owned a restaurant for a couple of years. we made tons of egg salad. we always bought the eggs we were using for egg salad a week before we would use them.

the shell sticks to the egg because of that white membrane between the egg and shell. the older the egg, the more that membrane dries out. when the eggs are a week or two weeks old, the shell will peel off much easier.

try this: buy a dozen eggs and leave them in your fridge for a week - boil them and then peel them. see if it is easier!

All shells are kind of hard to get off of hard boiled eggs. A way to get them off easier is to add a bit of salt.

And when they are done, take them out, and roll them on a flat surface so they crack all over, then put on some COLD water, and start peeling under the flow of water.

When eggs are boiled put them into cold water to cool rapidly.

the shell willcontract and loosen

After cooking, cool eggs in an ice bath. Crack and peel in a rolling fashion.

--put more salt in the water than you feel comfortable putting in the water.

Then, kinda roll the egg on a flat surface before peeling.

It's not a matter of how you cook the eggs. It's how fresh the eggs are.

they come right off, if the egg is older

Soak it in cold water afterward and then try it again. It will work better this time, promise.

Add salt to water !! teaspoon maybe

try boil it like an hour and crack it hard after wards it ill be more easy to pill
