course the best way to peel off the shell is to put the boiled eggs directly into ice water. not cold water.

I use the 10-5-10 method and add baking soda. I pierce the large end of each egg when I take them out of the fridge and place them in boiling water for ten minutes, then shut the stove off and let them sit for five minutes. from there you put them in ice water for ten minutes. Even the freshes eggs will peel like magic, and the yolks come out perfect bright yellow.

I cook my eggs in a traditional pressure cooker with one cup water and a tablespoon of white vinegar. Set the heat fairly high and release the pressure as soon as the top weight starts rocking and refrigerate immediately. I usually do 2 dozen eggs at a time and pickle them in left over pickle juice. This gives the deviled eggs a little extra Texas tang. The pressure cooker apparently forces moisture under the membrane around the egg and my shells fall off in large pieces. Best of luck.

haven’t made these yet, but recipe is very similar to mine. To peel eggs easy, tap the bottom end of eggs on counter, makes just a slight Crack, then add a bit of oil to the water. I’m 70 and just figured this out! finish with ice bath like you do. hope this helps

if you STEAM the eggs, instead of boiling them they will peel easier!

This has been my go-to recipe for a few years now. In my most recent batch, I used maple syrup instead of sugar, about 1 1/2 teaspoons. What a nice flavor! The sweetness, but also the subtle maple flavor.

Also, for peeling, I swear by the ATK method – steam them for 13 minutes (in a single layer), then ice-water bath for 15 minutes, then drain most of the water, cover the dish, and shake vigorously 30-40 times. The shells break into tiny pieces, but the membrane holds them together. Peeling is easy-peasy!

Made your Million Dollar Devil Eggs receipts, and all my friends loved it. They asked what I put in it, told them, sorry “I told them I would have to ask Sam first”. Thanks for sharing.

I have a large supply (bout 45 a day) of fresh eggs to take on myself.. Man those shells are tough. I boil my eggs in a large salt bath, like (1/3 of a box of salt), for 15 – 20 minutes then I shock them by going straight into ice packing in a large pot in the sink. 15 minutes in the ice pack I just tap the egg on the granite top and lightly roll the egg back and forth and 9 out of 10x the shell rolls of in 2 pieces.

If you tap your egg lightly on the counter (being careful not to crack it) until you hear a snap,that’s the membrane disconnecting,then place in pot with water & boil as you normally would & ice bath,should peel nicely my very Scandinavian grandmother taught me this

Why aren’t you people using an $20 egg steamer? They come out perfectly every time and the peels practically fall off- EVERY TIme . You’ll thank me.

ABOUT PEELING BOILED EGGS – I recently read a suggestion from a famous chef, whose name escapes me at present, who said that if you punch a tiny hole in the largest end of the egg it makes them easier to peel. I’ve been doing this for about a month, and it works. I keep a thumbtack in my kitchen drawer just for this. It’s a tiny hole, you could also use a straight pin, I suppose.

Hi, the first thing I read in your direction is the problem peeling eggs. I learned the fresher they are the harder to peel. I put the eggs cold in cold water bring to a boil about 15 to 20 minutes depending 9n size, then directly set the pan in the sink flush about three times in cold water until the pan is cool and the eggs can be handled Then hit them against the side all on all sides everyone of them beforei start tp peel them. Start peeling gently until you get under the membrane and tada the rest slips right off. Then into a bowl of cold water until they are cool enough to cut without getting burnt. I have only had trouble when they are to fresh! loved your stuffing recipe yummy

I was asked to make deviled eggs for a 4th celebration tomorrow. I am a pretty good cook but this is not most favorite thing, but here goes.. I saw your recipe and read the comments about an easy way to make the perfect egg. I won’t cook hard boiled eggs any other way… Top take aways, you must prick the narrow top part of the egg with a thumb tack, or safety pin works better to break the membrane that causes it adhere to the shell and that what makes it not come out of the shell easily. Just one prick and then put the eggs into boiling water for 6 minutes uncovered, then take off the heat for 6 minutes, then plunge in an ice bath for 6 minutes. After these steps, peel the eggs under running water and see the magic…. Let me know how this works for you.

The Instant Pot is THE only way I hard boil my eggs now. 5 minutes under pressure 5 minutes natural release and 5 minutes in ice bath. They peel like a dream!!! Never using the stove method again!!!

I happened across your recipe and must say, they are the best! My tip for getting the shell off a hard boiled egg is to crack it, slide a teaspoon between the shell and egg and slide it around until the shell is completely off. No more tiny pieces of shell stuck or ugly gouges in the egg. 🙂

Instapot manual high for 5 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes, then release pressure. Out eggs immediately into ice bath. Perfect eggs every time and the skins slip right off.

I used to add baking soda to the water but it tended to mess up the stove top as it boiled. Saw a post about adding a tablespoon of cooking oil to the water. Then put eggs in ice water to cool them down. They peel easily. I use this method now.

Add a little bit of vinegar and sprinkle some salt into the water and the shells are easy to remove

drop a little bit of vinegar into the water when you turn off the fire and the shells should be easily removable

In the ‘70s when we had chickens, every day when we collected the eggs we would take a lead pencil and mark the date on them. It’s surprising how old an egg can be and still be hard to peel.

I have used a Dash Egg Cooker to make easy to peel, hard boiled eggs, every time, even fresh eggs. It’s amazing and Costco did sell a unit that can do up to 16 eggs, if I remember correctly. Even a small unit works great with doing 7 eggs at a time.
