Adding a little vinegar to the water before boiling prevents that white mess that sometimes sticks on the pan around the water line.

Brittany Shelton Report Spam or Abuse Salt works the best Post By Ed (Guest Post) (04/21/2007) My father always used about a tablespoon of salt in the boiling water. My wife never heard of it, but it works best of all.

This even works well with farm-fresh eggs. I've used this method for years.....works GREAT!!!!!!!!! Gently place eggs in pan of cold water. Bring water to a boil, cover with lid, remove pan from fire (leave lid on pan), & let set 20 minutes. Drain water, add very cold water (may add ice cubes), let set for 2 or 3 minutes, then drain. Replace lid. While holding lid securely in place, carefully shake the pan of eggs until eggshells are cracked into very small pieces, & eggs are either out of the shells or easily removed from them. Rinse eggs clean of all shell pieces. Use boiled eggs as desired. Note: This is a good way to boil eggs to paint for Easter, minus the shaking of the pan, of course. An added benefit is that the eggs will NOT have that ugly green ring around the outside of the yolk, leaving it much more appetizing, tasteful, & less gaseous.

Boil them, add a bit of salt to water, remove after 10 minutes or so, run them under cold water to cool and then shake them right in the pan. If you do it for a minute or two, they actually PEEL themselves!

Then fill the pan with cold water and add ice or ice packs to keep the water cold. After a half hour or so the shells will literally slip off. No need to roll them on the countertops and have bits of shells everywhere to clean up.

I just take a dull blade knife, (like a butter knife). Then hold the egg in my hand after boiled and run cold water over it to cool. Eye ball about the middle of the egg, and "wap" it with the dull edged, or butter knife. Take it all the way through with one blow, two halves lay in your hand, and I scoop them out of the shell easily with a spoon. the egg is perfect, and in half, and the whole thing takes about 1 second. I love breakfast. Report Spam or Abuse Tip: Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs Post by lewis_admin (1296) | (12/14/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact In order to peel a hard boiled egg without it breaking. Roll it on the counter top so the shell cracks into small pieces. The shell will easily peel off leaving the hard boiled egg perfect. By Mary Freeman Feedback: RE: Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs If you sprinkle a small amount of salt in the water when boiling the eggs, the shells will come off very easily. (02/03/2005) By Sandy RE: Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs My mom always added salt to the water that she boiled eggs in. She said that the salt helped to keep the egg yolk and white from escaping out of any cracks in the eggs. We (my parents) raised chickens for their eggs and of course we didn't sell the cracked eggs and so we got to eat them. Also the older the eggs the easier they are to peel when hardboiled. Fresh eggs are nearly impossible to peel cleanly. But nowadays, eggs in the store...how soon do they arrive at the store after being laid by the chicken? Just use the oldest eggs you have in your fridge. (02/06/2005) By valleyrimgirl Peeling Eggs New eggs are hard to peel after being boiled. I hold them a week and then boil them. They last several weeks so one week is not harmful. They peel without sticking. By Jill (02/10/2005) By ThriftyFun RE: Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs I roll them on the countertop to crack the shell, and then run them under cool water to peel with ease. (02/15/2005) By Mama_05 RE: Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs They aren't always easy to peel just by rolling them on the counter top. I will try the old egg method, as well as the salt.
