The way this egg peels in infuriating

  The trick is to put the egg directly from fridge into boiling water (not warm or about to be boiled water, it should be already boiling) and boil for about 6.30-7.30mins (depending on size and preference). This increases the chances your shell might crack (maybe 1 in 10? if you submerge it slowly with a spoon) but magically works %95 of the time.

  Why would you do it that way?

  6 minutes in a pressure cooker and the eggs will be perfectly cooked and peel like a banana.

  When it comes to niche kitchen gadgets the vast majority get a pass, but a cheap egg cooker is well worth the space it takes up. You can do soft/medium/hard boiled and they peel much easier. Also a really healthy snack for your pups.

  If you have a pressure cooker (like an instant pot) then doing hard boiled eggs in that makes them incredibly easy to peel

  I hate when this happens, I eat 8 eggs every day and this without fail happens to one of them. No clue why, and often while they’re still hot when I’m peeling so my fingers start to burn

  Mildly infuriating? I would toss the whole egg half way through.

  skill issue

  Crackle the shell all over and even poorly boiled eggs should be relatively easy to slip the covers off

  I dunno why but this happens every time my wife cooks eggs. Not me, I warm the eggs in water so they are room temp, I put them in for 11 minutes on boil and rinse them in cold water when the time is up. They peel perfectly. I dunno what the wife is doing wrong

  Drop the raw eggs into boiling water. Add half a teaspoon or so of baking soda to the water while it’s boiling.

  If you put the eggs in cold water and then boil it, this is what happens.

  I’ve tried all those tricks to peel the eggs via ice water baths and all that.

  None of it worked consistently.

  What did work best was cheap, white eggs. The kind you get at Aldi for like $2.

  Not the free range, brown, cage free stuff. Those always have issues with sticking shells.

  Just peel it with cold water, doesn’t matter if the eggs are hot or cold, just grab a small bowl and fill it with water, peel the egg a little then dunk it in water, repeat until eggshell is gone, water helps separate the membrane from the egg, works better if they are hot but the same method works on cold eggs as well.

  A splash of vinegar in the water as it boils and 5 to 10 seconds in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Works every time.

  Yeah, i dunno, do store-bought cooked eggs not get cold-shoked?
