how do you make a hard boiled egg peel off easy?

Answer 1

run cold water over it while you do.

Answer 2

After the egg has cooked, immediately put the egg into cold water. This process will make the egg easier to peel later.

Answer 3

Fresh eggs will not peel easily when hard boiled. You need to use older eggs like 1 week or so and then they will peel very nicely.

Answer 4

Tap the top and bottom of the egg against the counter or something to crack it then roll the egg on it's side to crack the rest of the shell. Peel off under running water.

Answer 5

I find they are easiest peeled when just boiled. i take the egg and run it under cold water and peel it while playing the hot potato game with it..slides right off.

Answer 6

after the eggs are boiled, drain the hot water in the pan and add cold water. shake side to side and drain cold water. keep shaking with no water in pan until peels are cracked. take egg out and roll on cutting board, shell will crack, peel it off...

Answer 7

Break them under a cold water drip. I put all the eggs in a bowl and put it in the sink. I pick up one egg and another in my other hand, I bang them together til one breaks then I roll and squeeze it in my hand under the cold water. It should come off rather easily. You have to get under the thin membrane and do that under water too. All this sounds so much harder than it is.

Answer 8

Put 2 tablespoons of vinegar in the water that you are boiling the eggs in!
Works every time!

Answer 9

Run cold water over it or pour cold water into the pot in which you boiled them in and after a minute. Crack it with the back of a tablespoon. And Enjoy ;)

Answer 10

Add salt to the water while cooking and the put in cold water to peel.

Answer 11

Poke the pointy end of the egg with a pin to make a tiny hole. That is what my mom does.
