How to Quickly Peel a Boiled Egg

This is great info. We fitness nuts eat one or two daily, just with a little salt or hot sauce on 'em. An easy wholesome meal if you make 10 at once and put them in the fridge.

A hard-boiled egg or two with hot pepper jelly on them is a perfect breakfast after a morning hour of moving heavy weights.

Does this actually work? What temp does the tap water need to be? Right from the boiling water to the glass of water?

I'm so fond of eggs in just about any form. I do love a hard-boiled egg with a little salt.

None of this is necessary folks..... Want hard boiled eggs that peel with ease ...... Fill your pot of water..... Bring to a boil..... THEN AND ONLY THEN .... Carefully submerge your eggs in the boiling water and boil for about 12-15 min..... Then immediately rinse under cold water and refrigerate.... That's it.... There is science behind why this method works.... See Cooks Illustrated....

I am skeptical that this works EVERY time.

Wonder how many 'takes' this took?

Wonder if this works only when just boiled? Or does it work after sitting in the refrigerator a couple of days as well?

I love hard boiled eggs except that I don't boil them I bake them. 325° for 22 minutes. They come out perfect every time. Very fresh eggs do not peel very well. Older eggs work much better. I have found that if I buy them from the farm they don't work well. If I buy them from the grocery store they peel just fine. nothing like an egg salad with a couple of hard-boiled eggs, a spoonful of mayo, a spoonful of mustard, and a dash of cayenne pepper or Tabasco.

We put our fresh-laid eggs on the bottom of the pile in the fridge, and boil the ones from the top, which are a week or so old. Much easier to peel them.

Steaming eggs works nicely, too - it makes for a tender white and the eggs are quite easy to peel.
