I've been cracking both ends and blowing into either end. It separates the egg from the shell....sometimes. Do you peel them hot, warm or cold? Help me out here, people. [Reply]

First of all, I'm so sorry I know this is an old discussion but the topic is very important I am appealing to the admin. Please approve my post, Thanks The best way to peel a hard-boiled egg is to start with eggs that are a few days old. After boiling, transfer them to an ice water bath to cool completely. Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell all over, then roll it to loosen the shell. Peel under running water to help remove any small bits of shell. And What's your favorite method for making hard-boiled eggs easier to peel? Have you tried adding baking soda to the boiling water, or do you have another trick that works every time? I would be very happy if you could let me know, thanks because the same problem I will face then I will create a trick like this. [Reply]

Before boiling, tap the fat end of each egg on the counter. Lightly, just enough to barely crack the shell. If you did it correctly, you won't really see the crack, you'll just hear it when you tap the egg.
Boil per normal. At this point you can roll the egg and peel it; no ice bath required. The ice bath does make it a bit easier though.
A hack for rolling the egg is to simply dump the water out of the pot, put eggs back in, put lid on pot and swirl/shake eggs for 30 seconds.
A hack for removing the shell is to peel off the part around the fat end, then hold the egg like an ice cream cone and gently squeeze; egg should squeeze out of the shell.

This.
The only time I had a problem with peeling an egg was always at Thanksgiving. It drove me crazy. I found out that it was because the eggs were to fresh. [Reply]
