Question

I'm making Deviled Eggs and I really can't seem to peel them very well. I have the Eggstractor which doesn't work and I've done it manually. What are some way that have worked for you, even if it is a trick to add on to manual?

I need the eggs tommorow and they are already boild and such

Answer 1

run it under water while you peel it

Answer 2

Alright. Listen up. Here is how to properly cook and peel hard boiled eggs...FIRST, use older eggs - not eggs you just bought from the grocery store. Obviously using rotten eggs would be plain stupid. Buy some eggs and leave them in the fridge, storing them on their side for a few days. Using older/less fresh eggs will result in eggs that are easier to peel, PLUS storing them on their sides will result in the yolks being in the middle of the egss as opposed to off-centered.

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place the pan on the stove on HIGH heat. Once the water comes to a boil, cover the pan, and remove it from the heat. Let the pan sit for 13 minutes. Then place the eggs in an ice bath until they are cool.

Cooking the eggs this way will get rid of that green ring around the outside of the yolk.

Follow these steps and you will have some beautiful, easy to peel eggs.

Answer 3

For me, I find it best to boil them, and then drain them, and right away fill the pot with cold water until the eggs are just covered. I walk away for a minute and then come back. The water will have heated again, and the eggs will be a bit hot to the touch, but you've loosened the shell by doing this. Roll part of the egg to get the shell cracked, and loosened more. I then take a few pieces off and see if I've peeled the skin with it. If you can get the skin you can start peeling it off the shinny white egg, and the shell will come off easily. If you've pulled off the shell and the white of the egg isn't shiny, then you still have skin on it. I hope this helps. :)

Answer 4

Tap lightly on the counter in a few places. To get all the shell off, peel under water.
But it should be cooked the right way to begin with. My dad's method:
To a small pot of cold water, add your eggs, bring to a boil. Turn off heat, leave on stove, cover. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. Drain. Fill pot with cold water. Wait until water turns warm. Drain. Fill with cold water and let sit a minute.

Answer 5

Hard-Cooked eggs peel best if they are a couple-three weeks old. Buy them as soon as you know you need deviled eggs, and store in your fridge until needed. They will boil MUCH easier than off-the-shelf fresh ones.

A splash of v inegar in the cooking water helps a bit, but the age of the egg is hte primary concern.

Answer 6

i dump out the hot water, and then fill the pot with cold and leave the eggs in. then i take out an egg, and apply a gentle amount of pressure while rolling it back and forth. it cracks the shell just enough and doesn't make a mess

Answer 7

Let them cool and then peel them.
