Egg hack: How to make fail-proof easy to peel eggs!

[@psidvicious]

I poke a tiny hole in the rounded end with a tack or most times I use the point of an exacto knife. The real key to easy peel eggs though is to peel them right away. Rinse in cold water to stop the cooking and so you can handle them and peel immediately. Running water is also helpful.

[@raindrops-12]

Yes, I do mine like that. And your right , the cold running water helps the shell slip right off!❤😊

[@HHHomestead]

I bet the tiny hole and this method does the same thing :) I agree, as soon as you can handle them after you put them in cold water the better and I always peel under running water. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for this video. I will try this!

Another viewer said that if you roll it on the counter a little bit before peeling it also helps. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought I would add that.

[@strikerz2912]

Sounds like you cracked the egg, plus I want to color them for easter

[@HHHomestead]

I wonder if it does crack it super slightly. I don't know really.

good to know! you have pretty eyes by the way!!

I put my raw eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Turn heat on medium, and when the water starts to boil, cover pan, turn off heat and slide pan onto cool burner. Wait 30 minutes and pour hot water off, replacing with cool water. After water is warm from eggs, lift eggs out into bowl with some ice chips. Once eggs have cooled enough to handle you can shell them easily.

Great tip for peeling eggs easier

[@HHHomestead]

Who knew, right?? :)

[@chespocket1756]

If you roll the boiled egg on the table top it even easier

[@HHHomestead]

Great idea!

[@manuelagerlach8673]

Thank you.

Need tips for older eggs, i never think about boiled eggs after buying. It's usually an afterthought weeks later. 😊

[@HHHomestead]

I wonder if you try this with older eggs if it will work. Let me know :)

[@mysteryman5826]

there is no need to buy those boil in the pot egg timers. Save your money and just use a stop watch function on you phone if you have that, or set an alarm.

[@HHHomestead]

Really? Wow! That's super cool to know. Thank you.

[@OldschoolFlaBoy]

You can't be serious. I bought 2 of those. They were the most ridiculous things.Hard boiled was about medium boiled.Softball was almost raw

[@strikerz2912]

I have a timer on my stove, saved me some money

[@HHHomestead]

I use those egg timers that drop in the pot with the eggs. They're like plastic looking. Works really well to make sure the eggs are done just right.

Is doneness a word?

[@HHHomestead]
