How do you get the egg shell off when sticking to hard boiled egg?

Answer 1

Add salt it will be easier to peel while boiling.The secret to peeling eggs is make sure the egg is cool. You can not peel an egg that is still warm. After the egg is cold, the shell will peel off easily enough .

Answer 2

You can pierce the large end of the egg with either an egg piercer or thin needle. This will release any internal pressure built up in the egg during boiling and your shell won't crack and whites won't run out. Or you can place the eggs in cold water and then bring the whole pot to a boil. This gives the air time to slowly escape from the egg.

Answer 3

I have a process for boiled eggs. The older the egg the better. If I can (or remember) I take the eggs out of the fridge a few hours before making them (room temp eggs seems to be easier to make). Then I STEAM them in my vegi steamer (they do have egg steamers/cooker available in stores or do a Google search for eggs steamers). I never boil anymore. When done, I crack them and then put them in ice water.

Answer 4

There is no sure guarantee that egg shell will not stick like cement to hard-cooked eggs. But there are several ways to make that less likely.

1. Use older eggs that have been refrigerated for a week or so.

2. Prick a hole in the rounded end of each egg's shell using a large pin. This releases the air that expands inside the shell as the egg cooks.

3. Add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of vinegar to the cooking water.

4. Do not boil the eggs. With the eggs in the pot, bring water (enough to cover the eggs) just to the boiling point, then remove the pan from the heat (or reduce heat to very low if eggs are quite large) and allow the eggs to sit for 15 minutes. The water should not rise above a very slow simmer.

5. Immediately plunge the cooked eggs into ice water before removing the shells.

6. Crackle each shell and roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell before peeling.

Answer 5

When you boil eggs add a pinch of salt to the water.

Answer 6

just bravely peel it
You can shell a hard boiled egg by grabbing both ends and turning them opposite ways. Be Gentle.

Answer 7

Roll the egg on a hard surface until the shell is completely cracked and crazed. Peel off shell under running water.

Answer 8

After they are done boiling, immediately in ice water and let them cool

I also crack them before putting them in ice water.
