    The one question the world needs answering

    Why oh why are some eggs are right biatch to peel and others peel magnificently ?

    Sick of doing hard boiled eggs and losing half of them when some the membranes just fly off and eggs are perfect.


    I heard a rumour that if the eggs are too fresh thats when it happens

    Once they are hard boiled put them immediately into cold water and leave for 15 mins- you will find that will help them to peel easier.

        rumor has it add teasppon salt to your couldren - perhaps you could do that buy some fresh eggs and try it then leave them for a couple of months try again.

          right. foolproof this. take hardboiled egg, roll around in your hands to crack the shell. take off top of shell and bottom of shell. hold egg loosely around its midriff and blow in the top. the membrane will loosen and the shell will come off in one peice. ta-dah. thank me later

            Not that i dont trust DKmembers but i done some googling meself and this method has been mentioned to be one of the best slightly different take on it tho crack egg at both end peel away a little of top and bottom blow and it releases itself

            BTW meaty will try yours too i heard bicarb helps so it can have bicarb and salt

                        Use an egg cups, chop top off the shell and dig in, simple.

                        Fresh eggs laid same day, I've tried and still the same as eggs a week old.

                              Crack the egg and while peeling the shell off keep it under cold running water this will lubricate the membrane making the peeling easier
