Boiling eggs for Easter. Need a way to make sure eggs are easy to peel. I hate when whites stick to shell.?!
Answers: Put a little vinegar in the water when it starts boiling. The vinegar really helps them to peel very easy. Also make sure they cool completely in cold water. trying to peel them why they are warm will make a mess. Good luck!! Also the eggs do not taste like vinegar. It really helps them.
Boil eggs on medium heat for longer time-15-20 minutes and also add 1tbsp salt in the water used for boiling.
then its easy to peel without getting the whites stuck on the shell!
If you want perfect eggs every time, buy an egg cooker. I love boiled eggs! Egg cookers can be found at any kitchen store and cost less than $20.
Good luck!
Boil them without the shell.
The older the better. This is a time when farm fresh isn't such a good thing.
my goodness
sometimes i wonder
about folks
and then sometimes i also wonder about the quetions
anyway here is the secret to a hard boiled egg
water should cover the eggs by 1 inch, so use a tall pan, and limit
cooking to 2 dozen eggs at a time.
1. Lay the eggs in the pan and add the amount of cold water specified. Set
over high heat and bring just to the boil; remove from heat, cover the pan,
and let sit exactly 17 minutes.
2. When the time is up, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice cubes and
water. Chill for 2 minutes while bringing the cooking water to the boil
again. (This 2 minute chilling shrinks the body of the egg from the shell.)
3. Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the boiling water, bring to the
boil again, and let boil for 10 seconds - this expands the shell from the
egg. Remove eggs, and place back into the ice water.
Chilling the eggs promptly after each step prevents that dark line from
forming, and if time allows, leave the eggs in the ice water after the last step for 15 to 20 minutes. Chilled eggs are easier to peel, as well.
The peeled eggs will keep perfectly in the refrigerator, submerged in water in an uncovered container, for 2 to 3 days.
i put my eggs in the pot with the water and then put them on the stove to boil, once the water is boiled i let them cook for 10 minutes and then turn off the heat drain the pot and run cold water on them for a few minutes and then fill the pot up with water and let them sit for 10mins, i find them alot easier to peel this way
