Crazy question about eggs....do you have the answer?

After the eggs have been cooked, they need to be cooled. You can drain them and then plunge them into a bowl filled first with ice, then with water. You can also cool them off and then store them in the refrigerator for an hour. The chilled eggs will be much easier and neater to peel. Brand should not make a difference, nor should whether an egg is organic or cage-free.

The fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel. If you know ahead of time that you want to boil eggs, take them out of the fridge and leave them on the counter for a couple of days to age (doesn't always work). Or, as soon as the eggs are done, slightly crack them under cold water so that some can get under the shell. If enough water gets in, they are easier to peel (doesn't always work either). Martha says "Just cover the hot eggs with ice-cold water and the steam created under the shell will allow you to peel with ease." Dosen't always work either. The only sure thing is to use eggs at least 2 weeks old. Now that I've totally confused you, Good Luck!

you can add a little vinegar in with the water while you are boiling the eggs, also make sure the eggs are cooled before peeling.

The fresher the egg, often it is harder to get the shell off. White eggs can sometimes be easier, but the same applies to them.

I used to have to shell 15 dozen a day. Experience taught me.
