Why do my hard boiled eggs not peel nicely, sometimes? I cook them the same way each time.?
Even though I boil my eggs the same way each time, sometimes the eggs peel nicely, and sometimes they don't. I am thinking that maybe it is the age or quality of the egg.
Answers:
No matter what anyone tells you.....it's the age of the egg that makes it easy to peel.
Nothing you can add to the water will help in any way. The older the egg the easier it will be to peel when boiled.
I grew up on a dairy farm and we also raised chickens and sold eggs. I have had plenty of experience in boiling eggs. A fresh boiled egg is impossible to peel with out tearing it up.
