going to try something new, steaming them for 20 minutes,then cold water, tried every other way and cant peel them,hope it works otherwise I will be buying store eggs to boil,anyone else try this?
 
I steam mine too.

Get the water going.

Add the eggs to the steamer.

Steam 10 minutes.

Turn the fire off for 5 minutes.

Then go for the cold water. Works perfect.

I've found that if you keep your eggs around a week or so they peel easier.

I like mine to be several weeks old. Add several tablespoons of salt to water and boil for 10 minutes, immediately run cold water on them and keep cool water on them for another 5-10 minutes until cool. Should peel fine. I only buy from certain places as there is a big difference in the way they peel. Some don't peel good no matter what you do.
 
I grew up on a poultry farm in the days before cages and all that stuff. At Easter Dad would always hold back a bunch of eggs for boiling and coloring for our local customers. They do peel a lot easier when they are a about 10 days old or more. Back in the 50's the average egg in a store was 2-3 weeks old so it wasn't much of an issue. They are fresher now, so don't peel as good. Today most people hide plastic eggs with candy in them anyhow, what a way to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord.
 
my wife bought a little plastic puncture gizmo that puts a needle thru the shell and makes them peel easier
 
To hard boil fresh eggs you put vinegar in the water. If you use say 2 cups water cut that back to 1.5 cups water and 1/2 cup vinegar. Boil them then cool them in cold water and most of the time they peel easy
 
Dittos on what tractor300 said.

I buy them two weeks in advance if I plan on using a large number of boiled eggs.

Around here they've switched to plastic eggs with change in them.
Even better. That way it won't spoil if you don't find one this year. :roll:
I usually fry mine. They're good for me this week. Or was that last week?
 
wife uses a push point for bulletin board to make hole opposite small end. Says it works mostly. Bring water to boil first might work best.
She gets fresh eggs straight from the farm.
 
Ice; instead of just using cold water; I include ice. I NEVER have a problem anymore. I use to fight it terrible!
 
FWIW- for some years I"ve been involved in charitable Knights of Columbus breakfasts at our area churches.....multiple parishes in our Council. Eggs are a mainstay on the menu. We pass extras to the next parish, and donate the leftovers to the local food shelf after the third breakfast. We learned that refrigerated eggs are good for at least five weeks. And, for good peeling.....older ones work way better, along with the chilling. Just like dyeing Easter eggs- buy them at least a couple weeks early.
 
I use a muffin pan, bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, use tongs to take out of muffin pan, place in ice water, peel. It is best to lay egg on side as they cook more evenly. Try it. way most resturants get "hard boiled eggs" even though baked, not boiled. James
