They don't dry out? That's what makes them hard to peel. When it's still wet under the shell, they're easy. What's that trick? Dousing? Soaking til cool? Anybody?
Use older eggs. I don't mean rotten ones but buy them and leave them in the fridge for a week or so. They tend to peel much easier. I boil mine for 15 minutes and then put the pot in the sink and run cold water on them and peel right away. I never have a problem with them........unless they are newer eggs. I might have to try this method just to see if it works.
Yes, it works in the oven. Someone told me about it after they read it on Pinterest.
I can't believe people are still buying eggs from the store. I get mine fresh (from a family off Nanicoke) for 2.50 a dozen and they are incredible and much larger than the store jumbo size.
By the way this works, but in my home it is quicker and more cost effective to boil them.
A friend's method which I've been using for years now and have had good luck with peeling.
I've perfected this and added my own instuctions at the end.
IN A POT BOIL WATER - ADD 1/8 CUP (SPLASH) VINEGAR AND SALT (SHAKE SOME IN)-
AND EGGS - DON'T PUT EGGS IN TILL WATER IS BOILING RAPIDLY - DON'T DROP THE
EGGS IN AS THEY WILL CRACK - BUT IF A FEW DO IT IS OK . BOIL FOR 15
MINUTES.
QUICKLY RUN COLD WATER INTO THE POT ON THE EGGS - UNTIL THE WATER IS COLD,
NOT WARM... REMOVE AN EGG AND CRACK THE SHELL BY ROLLING ON A HARD PART OF
THE SINK AND IN YOUR HANDS, THE EGG WILL COME OUT OF THE SHELL. THERE MAY
BE A TIME WHEN YOU HAVE TO PIERCE THE MEMBRANE, THEN CONTINUE ROLLING..
OLDER EGGS NEED A LITTLE HELP BUT USUALLY THEY WILL POP OUT.. IF THIS
GRANDMA MARTIN EGG PEELING SYSTEM FAILS - USE A LITTLE MORE SALT AND
VINEGAR..
No need to peel right away so would work for dying Easter eggs.
I allow the eggs to reach room temp BEFORE placing them in the boiling water using a SLOTTED SPOON.
This usually eliminates the breakage which I believe is caused by cold eggs hitting the boiling water.
Hey Bullard, how much you donated to the Candidate for Mayor?
4:46 Why do you care and what business is it of yours? At least on here he adds his name.
I would think that is something the candidates are required to disclose, and if not, then it is entirely none of your business. Oh, and by the way, don't forget to look up Debbie Campbell's disclosures. I support them both, and invite you to do the same, 4:46.
Everybody, if you do nothing else April 2, at LEAST go out and vote for someone! Do your homework is all I ask.
Gary Bullard
Oh, and good luck with those Easter eggs!

Because his name is Jim Ireton, Chuckie Cookie or Jake Day. The ones that steal yard signs that aren't theirs.

Here's the link of who donated in the primaries. I think this will open a LOT of eyes as to whom the candidates shill for! I was shocked!
Just copy, then paste in your browser, and be ready to get informed!

Sometimes people are selling fresh free range eggs on Craigslist and also at area local farmer's markets. I am convinced that they are the only eggs to use in baking esp cakes. My cakes were always kinda flat and sometimes lopsided even. I started using these eggs in cakes and they come perfect. I think maybe it has something to do with the grocery store eggs having watery whites and smaller yokes.
UH what does Irenton and where to purchase eggs (free advertising tho ),,, what does that have to do with putting eggs in the oven! LOL
