Does anyone have a SURE FIRE way to make your eggs easy to peel once boiled?
I have tried salt in the water, vinegar in the water, and BOTH of them in the water...Also, I have tried using ice cubes to really shock them and bring the temp down quickly. Oh! I also crack them (crack, then roll on the side of the sink to crack them all over) and then let them sit in the water so (theoretically) the water will get in between the egg and the shell... I have also tried running cold water on them as I am peeling them...and tried warm water running onto them as I am peeling them. NO LUCK!
My boiling method works perfect for me. Start them in a pan with COLD water, bring them just to a boil, shut off and cover for 15-20 minutes. Perfectly cooked, and no green yolks!
It's the PEELING them part where I would like to SCREAM!
I swear the eggs we get now are DIFFERENT than the ones when I was little. Now EVERY batch is a PITA to peel, where I only remember occasionally having this problem when I was younger and helping my mom peel them!
