Easy to Peel Boiled Eggs

Crack the shell all the way around it instead of in just a couple of spots. Then pinch the inner membrane open & pull. It will peel easily.

I buy fresh eggs from a local farmer. The eggs I boiled would never peel easy. I tried every trick in the book: vinegar, salt, piercing the egg and other methods; and still had problems. I asked the farmer's wife how she prepares them without having this problem. She told me that she leaves the raw eggs out on her counter overnight before she cooks them. She says air pockets need to form to help make the peeling easier. She was taught this by her grandmother. I know it doesn't sound "safe" but that's what I have been doing this for about five years or more without any problems.

Hi Dawn Barbie,
This would be for fresh eggs only.

I was wondering if this will work for pre-boiled eggs (ie we already did our Easter eggs) or is this just for "fresh" (if you can call them that from the grocery store) eggs.
