Just followed your instructions and worked better than I thought. It was such a hit or miss before. I meal prep and that was always frustrating

[@rveubank]

I appreciate the thorough details. so many videos leave specifics not addressed

[@yakialva3249]

15 minutes in the ice bath?? I’m going to starve to death 🤣

[@jwwilliam6333]

lol.....

[@Brandon-7357]

Don't forget one part ice and one part water😅

[@JesusAlways1st]

I want to eat my eggs while they are still hot or warm, not ice cold

[@justweirdo7048]

So you tell me i need 30 mins to make a hard boiled egg

[@afroditemaragaki2658]

That's what I thought

[@xT2_ii]

@moon8158ain’t no one will eat a bunch of eggs in one go, and even if you have a bunch of people eating, boiling normally and peeling a bunch of eggs should not take 30 minutes.

[@kride456]

@@xT2_ii I make 15 eggs at once and eat them in 3 mornings. They stay well in the fridge. I can cook for 3 breakfast in one night.

[@TIZNYC]

@@kride456I’m sure your doctor (and you) will have a heart attack about eating 5 eggs a day 🫀

[@0hffs]

@@TIZNYCu dumb… you can eat as many egg whites as you want. It’s only the yellow part that’s bad when you eat too many.

[@GoBart454]

Jessica your a genius. I have never boiled a egg with out fighting that annoying membrane. Followed your instructions to the letter and had a egg that peeled easily and was cooked perfectly 👌 😋 Thank you.

[@sandramiller9168]

I've been married 55 years, never had a problem peeling them unti lately.. I think they are so genetically modified today that it's messing with the product. That membrane sticks to the egg white, the shell sticks to the membrane & you end up with a mess!

[@arnehortell]

Finally something that works!

[@JessicaGavin]

Yaaasss!

[@yummyskib]

My dad makes eggs for his diet and im gonna try this when i start focusing on cooking in the kitchen!

[@colinlarson9656]

Where do you usually cook, the meth lab? Or the microwave? j/k j/k

[@DoritoWorldOrder]

If you crack the eggs thoroughly before adding to the ice bath, it allows the ice water to seep in between the shell/membrane and the cooked egg inside, allowing for even easier peeling

[@unicornmadness6286]

This was brilliant.❤

[@AndyMan-mr1hy]

Just tap the egg on the fat end until you hear a snap before boiling. Job done

[@janX9]

Lady, you just took the simplest recipe and complicated the hell out of it. I'll stick with my eggshell sticking thank you.

[@Natedoc808]

Water is at a full boil at 200* at an elevation of 6500ft., sea level is 212*, adjust cook time accordingly

[@jofurtz09]

Your method worked. Mahalo!

Glad it helped!

Thank you

THE BEST!!!! THANKS

[@JessicaGavin]

You're welcome!

[@laxi5597]

All the unnecessary steps 💀 Don't bother with ice, just dump out the hot water and add cold water over in the same pot. Let it cool for a few minutes than peel

[@sunkfee]

Too long, gonna fry it

[@nejnej8038]

She is overcomplicating this so much. Just boil it and chill it down once it is cool-that is it. I went to culinary school as well.

[@coraphillips5873]

Yeah I agree she's making it too complicated. Put your eggs in cold water, bring it to a boil, take it off the heat and let it sit for 12 min. She's right about the ice bath tho

[@mojojojojojo3956]

@@bikeman78 where?

[@whyis45stillalive]

Put the eggs in cold water. Bring to a gentile boil, using highest heat setting. Boil *exactly* 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, in hot water for 10 minutes. (Test for doneness by spinning. If it spins, like a top, it’s done. If it’s not done, let it sit in the hot water longer. It will not overcook.) Pour off all but 1” of the water. Cover and break the shells against the sides of the pot, by shaking. Pour off remaining hot water. Cover with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel under cold running water. I’ve done this with; gas, electric, and glass-top, ranges, for over 40 years. The only time I’ve had a problem is, if the eggs are “too fresh”. A fresh egg hasn’t had time to develop the air sac, at its base, and will be hard to peel no matter what method you use.

[@alohatvn]

Big like 👍. Love ❤️ ❣️ 💕 the tips. Will implement immediately.

[@grouchasaurusrex]

Thanks mom!

[@Cool.Turtle29]

Wow I love your videos u have so much info thank you 🙏

[@sarahosain8992]

It would be too cold to eat by then

[@RandomCowboy420]

Didnt work for me. 😢

[@barryk9876]

So wrong... It's the age of the egg that matters. The albumen of a new/freshly-layed egg is more acidic than in older eggs (7 to 10 days old) and that's what causes the egg skin to adhere to the inside of the shell... The acidity causes chemical binding of albumen to calcium. As the egg ages, and as CO2 is released from the albumen, it becomes more alkaline and doesn't stick to the inside of the shell. Period. So if you follow the instructions in this video for a day 1 egg, it will not work. Those that have had success with her method are simply performing an unnecessary process to an older egg that wouldn't have the sticky eggshell issue. Science, not youtube ratings.

[@MiizNightmare]

I thought I had learned this to. That it's not about how you cook them but about the eggs itself.

[@d.k.6943]

Science b!tch !

Damn that’s insane. People are so silly sometimes

[@mohsinaanjum9467]

Any solution on How to fix it up..?

Makes sense every time I buy the cheap eggs they never stick, but when I buy pasture raised they always stick 😢

[@CampingWithCats]

TY

[@Venti.the.bard.613]

I just don’t have the patience to do stuff properly

[@bellaaneke]

I’ve tried everything. Nothing works! Now I eat with shell on.

[@kratos4435]

Don't forget to have thermometer guys

[@baboon500]

My 14 boiled eggs are so hard to peel with the membranes sticking. I don’t want to throw them out.

Use older eggs.

Hey walmart I'm looking for older eggs, do you know how old your eggs are?, Moxie am I getting that right?

Eat it with the Eggshell Right way.. add sult in the water

[@oztheman6177]

These influencer chefs always want to use a thermometer on the simplest things. Did out ancestors have to check a thermometer for a hard boiled egg?

[@lisanagle7893]

Easier tap the egg till you hear the membrane break😊 the rounder part of the egg

[@Mill835]

Thanks for taking time to post this video, but man oh man this is way too much trouble. Just put eggs in water let it boil for 15 minutes put in cool water for 45 seconds l, roll egg on. Counter top and peel. Easy as pie

I like my eggs a warm. 15 mins in ice won't work for me 😅 thanks anyway!

There's something else to it. The age of the egg maybe. I cook my hard boiled eggs the same way every time. On occasion the shells just act like they are glued to the egg. Why? 🤔
