ELECTRIC QUAIL EGG PEELER - Review and Thoughts

[@ajones4064]

Thanks for doing the review!!! Your results are pretty much what I've seen with other reviews. I really haven't found a more efficient method than good ole hand peeling!! Like you, I boil my quail eggs for 5 minutes. After draining them, I put them into ice water for about 15 minutes, then drain again and place in refrigerator over night. The next day I take a large container (2 quart) with a lid, fill it about 1/3 with water, put about 12-16 eggs at a time in it and shake the crap out of it. That crunches the shell pretty good, and makes it really to easy to peel. After that, I simply peel eggs until they're all done!! I may have 1 or 2 eggs out of 120 each time that I set aside due to part of the white sticking to the shell. My method sounds quite time consuming, but in reality, it goes quite fast and I love the results.........along with everyone else that gets to enjoy our hard boiled eggs, pickled eggs, and deviled eggs!! :) Thanks again!!!

It did exactly what I thought it would do. Heck, by the time you babysat the eggs in the turner, I could have had them peeled, and would have lost a heck of a lot less that 50 %. Worst I usually lose when hand peeling is about 10%. Great honest review, Terry.

Thanks Verna!

I’ve been using this machine for about four months now and have peeled maybe 1000 eggs. There is a learning curve. First you are not cracking your eggs well. I put about 25 or 30 at a time in a stainless steel bowl, add a couple of cups of cold water, invert another bowl of it that fits fairly watertight and shake vigorously. When done correctly you’ll have all sorts of small pieces of eggshell in the bottom of the bowl. I also like to have had the eggs cooled in ice water so they are as cold as possible. I have a wire drainer that fits down on on side of my double sink. I turn it upside down in the left side of the sink.I can then set the peeler with the motor side resting on the left side of the sink, letting the side with the rollers run slightly downhill as it rests on the top of the drainer. I can then position my faucet so it runs down on the rollers on the uphill side. Honestly, I can do 125-150 eggs in fifteen minutes or so with only four or five “chunked up”. Please, give this machine another try realizing that most of the problems I have seen with it are “operator error”. I can send some pics or video of my set up if you like. Again, in all fairness to the machine please give it another try.

If you have a chance I'd love to see a video of your set up. I understand most of how you described it, but I'm a little confused by what you mean with the slopes. That's an impressive number of eggs to do in 15 minutes and I'll be working with a few hundred birds next year, so I'm very interested.

[@williammorse9427]

O have bought the same one and it works great. U said it , learning curve. I loose maybe 1 outa 50.

[@brucebuckley285]

I love your videos. I have been using a hand crank model for years and it works almost perfect. The key is preparing the eggs before peeling. Gentle constant stirring while boiling for 5 minutes with a little white vinegar added to the water. ( the stirring helps keep the yoke centered and the vinegar makes the shell and the membrane under it rubbery). Cool in cold water. Place eggs in quart jar, fill about half way with eggs then barely cover with water. ( I add a little white vinegar here also ) Place lid on jar and shake well for a few seconds to completely crack shells. Keep eggs in water and wet during whole process. then place on peeler with constant running water Just saying this method works well for me

[@CoturnixCorner]

Thanks for the comment

Can you share the link for the hand crank model you purchased?

Thank you Terry for the very honest review, blessings! :)

After all the hassle, I will just do your shake in water in a jar method.

[@CoturnixCorner]

Yep, me too

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Oh wow we boil for only 2 minutes!

[@casaundrawagner6530]

Thank you for the review! I'm new to the quail community. I'm hatching out my first batch.

[@CoturnixCorner]

Welcome to quail :)

[@joshsparks8152]

I had been thinking about trying one thanks for the video

[@barbaramackenzie5971]

I purchased the manual one and had the same results. I was told to ice the eggs along with breaking the shells but still had a very high incident of the egg getting pinched or chunked. I am hand peeling still. Too many damaged eggs with the peeler. Sad was hoping it would work better. Thanks so much for the review. Glad to hear it wasn't just me.

[@CoturnixCorner]

You are welcome.

[@Forest_Actual]

Try cooking the eggs by steaming them in an Insta-Pot. We tried chicken eggs and they peel MUCH easier. Thank you

[@CoturnixCorner]

Good to know

[@thelarochellefarm595]

This holds true for chicken fresh eggs also. Steaming and allowing to completely cool down first really does help the peeling process.

[@TheArtisanbard]

@Forest Shipps how long in the insta-pot for quail eggs? Chicken eggs 5 min

[@Forest_Actual]

@@TheArtisanbard Haven't tried quail eggs yet, but I have heard 3-4 min. Good luck

[@garysmith4311]

24 hours in vinegar to dissolve shell and then you just peel off the membrane. Works great and easy.

[@mistycallow2749]

it helps the eggs peel so much easier if you put the eggs in a heavily iced bath

[@jenhope514]

Thank you for doing these videos for us. Very helpful

[@CoturnixCorner]

You are welcome

[@amyhouston5817]

My crank operated one does the same thing. I've decided to just use it when I'm making egg salad. I rinse off the smallest sticking egg shell fragments & just smash them with a fork anyways. At least it's faster than hand peeling if you're dealing with high quantities & you're not worried about presentation.

[@davidcotton7927]

After boiling the eggs I take them out with a large slotted spoon and place them directly in a large bowl of ice water. I then shake them in a jar and place them in the peeler with a small flow of water. It worked great for the 20 dozen eggs I peeled yesterday. The only issue was with yolks which were thinly covered by the egg white.

[@jluckado]

Stir your eggs as they heat up. Stirring them keeps the yolk in the center😉

[@reelman243]

I wonder if you tried shaking the eggs in a jar with water if it would do better?

[@CoturnixCorner]

Actually I did try that off camera, same results.

[@johnkillen588]

possibly allow the eggs to age a bit like 2 weeks and/or add a few caps of vinegar ( white) to the boiling water

[@williammorse9427]

Thank u for the review on the egg peeler. Because of u I bought the same one and it works great. I have bought a few others that didn't work at all.

[@CoturnixCorner]

Once I followed the directions it worked great.

I've had one for about a year I've done it least 10000 eggs or more my average is 80% works great for me.

[@mike1968442]

I've never boiled my eggs, BUT when I cook chicken eggs I follow these steps.... 1. Hard boil them. 2. Drain hot water, cover pot with lid, shake the pot very vigorously. Remove lid add 10 or so ice cubes and run very cold water over over eggs. Shells come right off. NO PEELING. Good luck.

[@mecraig6291]

Appreciate the review

[@chrisdaley8024]

You don't know how much this video meant to me. I have been wanting an egg peeler for months. I just can't pull the trigger on deciding what to buy. From what I have seen, there's not a great peeler out there. Thank you for sharing your experience with this model. You saved me money and a headache. Guess I am still just peeling by hand for now.

[@jluckado]

I don’t know if it’s been said, but I sat mine across the top of the sink on a board,with the motor end slightly elevated. Water runs onto rollers and you can put a catch bowl in the other side of sink. Put a small colander under rollers to catch shells.

[@kenolivier3935]

I boil and Stir mind just like everybody else But I put mine in an ice bath for at least 10 minutes I do 200 eggs at a time then shaken a jar with water. That's how I get about 80%.

[@papawsplace]

Good Review and You scored it for what it is. Thanks.

[@bryansmith307]

I don't think you mentioned the age of the eggs, which I believe is critical to keep the membrane from gripping the egg white during peeling. (I tell my duck egg customers to age them in the fridge for two weeks before hard cooking.)

[@suicidegeisha6921]

Using an instapot and steaming them works for fresh ;)

[@3932L]

Terry Ref Feb 1 show you stated the seller of the machine sent you updated instructions for the machine to make it work better. With that being said you stated it works fine now…can you please post the updated instructions? I did buy one of these machines and can’t get an answer from the seller for updated instructions…thanks Terry great videos!!!

[@CoturnixCorner]

I believe the new instructions along with video are listed on the sellers ad on Amazon. I don't have the printed instructions anymore, but if you follow my video or her's you will get good results.

[@verachoicezz8912]

Hi friend, I am the seller for the quail egg peeler, our brand is MSSVIGING, if you still need the update manual,please let me know , I will send it to you!😀

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

Boil quail eggs for 10 minutes?!?!?!?! That's crazy. I suppose if they're that overcooked they should be easy to peel, but who'd want to eat them?

[@thanksaanderton]

Does water boil differently in America? I boil mine for 3 minutes and they’re hard boiled

[@BushcraftJones]

Agree, just weird people talking about 5-8 minutes.

[@robertveronda4225]

I live at 1600 feet above sea level and 3 minutes 30 seconds is all it takes for hard boiled for me.

[@amyhouston5817]

I agree.

[@yoyo360wow]

Will this work with jumbo quail eggs the same way?

[@henryettacollins9095]

Can you appeal chicken eggs too?

[@yahnappyking9382]

I would think if you crack the eggs and let them sit in water a couple of minutes prior to putting them on the machine it might work better

[@marybenghit3435]

2 days old eggs or up, are very easy to peel ,I'm selling tokneneng a street food in our place, we peel 1000 eggs per day, and we use two days old eggs

is it also removing that really tough membrane that quail eggs have? That's the toughest part for me

Don't know, but I don't think your results will be any better than with the quail eggs. If you try it let us know your results.

[@johnpatrick1827]

Eggs that are too fresh cling to the shell and cause the shattered white
