Yowzer, that was super quick peeling! 

 

I will be trying the egg hack later on today, as I will be boiling some eggs.

I've got to try these ideas some time!

[~Andrea~]

Do you have to boil them whole?

Here's another way of peeling your hard boiled eggs:

A comparison method! 

 

I will either be delighted later, or my kitchen will need a good clean.

Please let us know if the methods work as shown. I will try for myself the next time I boils an egg or need to peel potatoes.....and yes, I do peel potatoes.

Hmmmm, that is the only way I have tried to boil an egg.

I've seen the thing where you can 'blow' eggs out of their shells... doesn't work for me. Or most people I know. It does however loosen the membrane inside the shell, so the egg peels much more easily the regular way.

 

I don't see that potato method working for me either

[Chrissy]

The water and egg in a glass method worked well, although you do have to make sure that your palm can cover the glass.   

 

I could not get the second method to work, although I had only the one egg at this point to try it with. The next batch I boil up I will try a few variations - change the hole size (same, one bigger than the other and shape of hole), and also the expulsion method,  whether it is one sharp puff or more of a toot-a-loot method. 

 

Oh dear, I seem to be caught up in the many peeling methods now!

Yeah.. my hand wasn't big enough, so it failed miserably for me so I just peeled the egg the way I usually do it .

I have to say, I've never really worried that much about peeling an egg!  I think the most I've ever had to do is four, and it takes no time at all, so I don't think I could be bothered to try these methods.

[Chrissy]

I was intrigued Chesil, so wanted to give the different methods a go. It is likely that I'll go back to my roll 'n' peel method in no time.

Fair enough, Chrissy - nothing wrong with being inquisitive!

Haruumph!! Well, we cook 12 to 18 at Easter for pickled eggs and my hands are large enough so I will give it a try.

[chesilbeach]

I haven't eaten a pickled egg for donkeys years!

They are really good with horseradish on them. I think that Chrissy was making the eggs for pickling.
