Before boiling them, if you float them in a bowl it might help you determine how fresh they are. If they sink to the bottom of the bowl, they are too fresh. If one end is pointing upward, they're about right and if they entire egg floats to the top, it's too old to consume.

If you have a choice when boiling the eggs, use eggs that are at least 3 - 5 days old, if not older. We have chickens at home and I waited at least that long to hard-boil some and still had some difficulty getting the shell to release perfectly. You can also try peeling them under water or try cracking the large end first because that's where the air pocket is likely to be.

My method for boiling eggs is to place them into a pot and cover with cold water. Bring just to a boil and immediately turn off heat and cover with a lid for exactly 13 minutes. My yolks turn out perfectly every time... nice and yellow - no green discoloration, which comes from overcooking.

Good luck. I hope you find this useful!

Answer 2

very carefully

Answer 3

After you boil them, drain the water and pour in cold water. Then wait a little while until the eggs are almost room temperature and peel. It is best when the eggs are somewhat warm and soft so you can get the membrane off easy.

Answer 4

it's easy hard boil the egg un-shell it cut in half the flip it out of each side it don't stick much

Answer 5

wait till they're cooled down, crack them on your counter top, and run cold water over them as you peel. works for me. theres no special way of cooking them, that I know of.

Answer 6

Let them cool before you peel them.

Answer 7

Just boil them good
then roll them to were the shells are broken up on the counter
then carfully peel the shell off under some water!

Answer 8

After bringing eggs to a boil, remove from heat and cover. Let set for 5 minutes then pour out hot water and run ice cold water over them (that shrinks the membrane inside shell). They should peel perfectly.

Answer 9

when they are cooked, just turn on cold water and let it run on the egg
when the egg cooled down, just crack the shell or just hit it on a table softly and the just peel it off

Answer 10

this works!run cold water into the pan and drain out the hot, then repeat a couple times every couple minutes. then crack the shell all over and set back in the water. when you cracked them all, refill with cold water. wait about five minutes, then start to peel. you HAVE to get the thin skin under the shell to peel away with the shell,once you get started it should just slide right off! if not, you"ll rip the egg.

Answer 11

After they are cooked, drop them in ice water until chilled. If the eggs are too fresh, they will be harder to peel. But if they are hard to peel, take your time doing it and be patient.

Answer 12

The one thing I learned from a good friend about making deviled eggs is to leave them on their side for until they get to room temp. Typically you put eggs in the fridge sitting upright. This is will help the yolk be in the middle. I use to get the egg yolks at the bottom of the egg so when I filled them sometimes the egg white would burst.

For peeling, I usually take the eggs off the stove and run under cold water. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle I crack on the counter a couple of times and then peel under water using the same pot I boiled eggs in. This helps get that thin membrane off very easily.
