I put the eggs in when the water is boiling then boil for 13 minutes then drain the hot water and run cold tap water over the eggs for 5- 10 minutes.

When the eggs are done cooking ,you immediately put them in a cold water ice bath to stop the cooking process, and cause shrinkage, which makes the egg recede from the shell slightly.

[Anonymous No.11101517]

put eggs in empty pot
fill with water just over the top of them
put on burner on high
when it hits a roaring boil, turn it off
wait 10 minutes
drain hot water
run cold water over them for a bit
peel and eat

add a few table spoons of vinegar to the water the shells come right off

Will it makes the eggs taste funny? Last time I made something that came out weird I got locked in the freezer wearing a butler outfit

I still don't get it

Steam
Shock in ice water
Let sit a couple minutes
Crack shell a little
Return to water
Peel underwater.

We don't have a steamer. My bf sold it for bike pumps

>add a few table spoons of vinegar to the water the shells come right off
This is false.

Acidity causes the membrane to cling to the shell and the egg white
Alkalinity weakens the membrane slightly.
So if anything, use a teaspoon of baking soda if you really want to.
I personally have noticed no difference either way. The best advice I can give is don't overcook them, and shock them in ice water

Steam them in the top rack of your rice cooker.

Crack the egg before you run it under cold water

[Anonymous No.11101637]

Use the inflation pump but invert its flow so you suck out air, then sous-vide the eggs in a sealed bag and/or your anal cavity

We had a women who'd have to leave work early and set the slicer back up after closing and shit because of her abusive boyfriend.

Shit was annoying. I wanted to go beat his ass just for making work slightly more difficult for me.

God damn it! I just tried it with vinegar and it stuck to the eggs again!

I can already hear my bf complaining!
"These are grade A eggs, you dumb bitch! You're going to be farting bubbles for a week when I'm done with you!"

I hate you vinegar-anon!

[Anonymous No.11102504]

I tap the egg against the counter vigorously, breaking the shell. This seems to separate the shell from the egg mechanically. It is then much easier to peel off.

Why does he go for making you fart bubbles?

This. Older eggs will peel easier. Like older before you cook em. I usually have two cartons of eggs in my fridge. The ones I'm cooking and eating, and the ones I'm letting age a week just for boiling.

Never peel a hardboiled egg again! Get a microwave egg poachers plastic thingy. Crack eggs into it. Pierce the yolks. Experiment to figure out long you should let it cook and sit for it to cook to desired doneness.

Or just fry them on the stove.

[Anonymous No.11102834]

Poached eggs are good too but you just can't beat the convenience of hard boiled. Make a batch in the morning, have breakfast, snacks throughout the day, and a quick breakfast/ snacks the next day too.

i've heard and tried all the fucking tricks
"prick a hole in the flat end with a thumbtack"
"salt the water"
"add vinegar to the water"
"add baking soda to the water"
my eggs stuck like crazy and were AWFUL to peel until I stopped doing all that shit
then it was EASY

- start the eggs in cold water
- bring to a boil
- let set for 15 minutes
- pour out hot water
- add cold water from tap
- peel eggs

THEY WILL BE FUCKING EASY TO PEEL
TRUST ME
IT TOOK ME LITERALLY YEARS TO FIGURE OUT THAT NONE OF THE BULLSHIT FUCKING WORKS
PLAIN
FUCKING
WATER
THAT'S ALL

[Anonymous No.11103274]

I boil for 20 minutes, dunk in ice water for 5, peel, eat with salt and tabasco or cholula
