When we get together for Easter, I get really frustrated with my extended family when they cook hard boiled eggs for the traditional devilled eggs. They boil them for 15 minutes and then pour the water away and leave them on the side to wait for them to cool. Once they come to peeling them, it takes forever. Whenever I do hard boiled eggs, I boil them for the required time and then immediately put them in cold running water for two minutes, take each egg out of the water and crack the shell. Then I put them back in the cold water for a few more minutes. Peeling them is like removing a jacket. It’s simplicity itself.
It is a wonder how people can come up with inventions , can you imagine making a machine with a billion parts and telling people that your going to peel an egg with it , bet alot of people thought the inventor of this had eggplants in his head !!!
Ah ha 11 degrees is best temperature for peeling the egg shell off. No wonder ive been having trouble all these years. Very much enjoyed this video, very interesting, and loved it when I see the owner so eggcited and happy while showing us how his business does so many eggs for the peoples to eat.
That was relaxing to watch. Hard boiled eggs inexpensive, nutritious, convenient and they even come in there own packaging until ready so they can fit in your jacket pocket when hiking with a little S and P.
I think I worked in that factory about 25 years ago, or at least a very similar one in Loughborough.. The shelling was done by hand back then, but I think the rest of the process is very similar. I used to be able to shell an egg every couple of seconds, two at a time, one In each hand. It was also the worst job I’ve ever had, so I’m glad it’s automated now!
The easy way to peel a hard boiled egg at home is to cut it in half with a sharp knife and remove the egg from each half with a teaspoon, the same way you would for a soft boiled egg. Boil the eggs for 5 minutes and then let them air cool.
Big tip. Boil. Tap the small pointy (sort of pointy) end on a towel. Peel there. There is an air pocket at that end of the egg. It peels taking the membrane with it. No tearing.
Half right. The air sac is at the broad end. That's why you crack the pointy end. The broad end forms a partial vacuum when you chill it after the cooking and then when you break the seal at the pointy end atmospheric pressure pushes the egg down to the broad end, collapses the air sac, and pulls the egg away from the shell for you.
FOUR MINUTES FOR THAT?! Okay folks, here it is: immediately chill your hard-boiled eggs to exactly 52F in chilled water, roll them between your palms under water just hard enough to crack the shell all over, and then slip off the shell. It's all about constricting the inner membrane just enough -- hence exactly 52F -- to enable the shell to easily separate from the egg, and the water slipping between them acts as a lubricant for the process. TAH-DAH!!! You're welcome.
That's eggsactly how I peel eggs myself -- watched a YT video some years ago, and never went back to their other methods. First crack on all side gently then roll the egg on your plate and the whole shell, cracked to bits but staying together, should come off as one piece.
I just made a dozen and mine did not peel that easy, wow that peeling in the factory looked so easy. I might have to try the lower heat and longer cook time method to experiment. Cool Video Thanks Mate !
Simple - dunk the boiled egg in a bowl of cold water. Leave it for 5 minutes. Gently knock the shell all over to crack it (against the side of the sink or on the draining board or work top will do) then peel it under the water or under a running cold tap. All you need to do is get your finger to lift the membrane beneath the shell and then the whole shell and membrane slides off with ease. Well, in theory anyway, but it may depend on the toughness of the shell from the particular breed of hen that laid it.
that is when you know you are getting older... I saw a video of a cabinet that is above the sink allowing you to dry and drip washed plates over the sink... was like wow... the sort of thing you get excited about at an older age
Slow cooked egg tastes better. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover the pot and place it on your counter for 18 minutes. Gently crack the ends then roll back and forth on the clean counter top, and they peel right off.
So, if I want a perfectly peeled egg: bring it down to 11 degrees! It's true that different types of han lay eggs with different shell colour, but the shell colour and the yolk colour varies aswell based on what the hans eat.
Did anybody spot the floating eggs @2.54 AND 3.54 there were more but these stand out. Floating eggs see this text ; To perform the float test, gently set your egg into a bowl or bucket of water. If the egg sinks, it is fresh. If it tilts upwards or even floats, it is old. This is because as an egg ages, the small air pocket inside it grows larger as water is released and replaced by air. You have been warned
Tip for home cooks: It's much easier to peel hardboiled eggs if you peel them immediately after cooking and cooling them, rather than peeling them later. However, hardboiled eggs spoil more quickly if they're peeled.
I don't use either. Once they're in a container half filled with cool water for a few minutes. Cover the container and shake for 10 seconds or so in the water. Peel will almost fall off.
one thing they dont mention is the fact that "stale" eggs ( at least one week old) are needed. The membrane within the egg needs to shrink away from the shell in order for the egg to be peeled without the egg itself piecing away like it does in fresh eggs.
Maybe because of the carefully controlled heat and cooking time, the age of the eggs don't matter so much. He specifically mentions the exact temperature requirement for the membrane separation.
justachick: I'm inclined to agree: I have about 30 hens and I've suspected that the eggs I try to hard boil & peel are simply too fresh....I rarely get the "easy-peel". I'll put a few aside and try again in a week or two. Watch this space.
Instapot/pressure cooker eggs are the best. 6min in pressure and then 5 min natural release for a PERFECT hard boil and then ice. Peels easy every single time.
Boil water, add 1/2 teaspoon salt to water, add eggs, bring water to boil again for one minute, remove pot from heat and cover with lid, rest eggs for ten to twelve minutes (depending on yolk hardness preference), lastly, rinse under cold water just to cool. Voila, perfect boiled egg with no grey ring around the yolk.
I love hard boiled eggs...Tried various methods from advice given on YT. But I never seem to get consistent results...the peeling is never actually a "doddle" Almost always a messy, time-consuming job, but when it goes to plan: I'm ecstatic! But I'd never given a thought as to how it is done commercially... Great Video. Cheers!

I've always wondered when I'm peeling my own eggs..."How it's done on a commercial scale?" Thanks to TH-cam, now I known!
Best way to do it at home is to put them in a jar half filled with water and lightly shake until the shell comes off.
See my comment
Your own eggs?
I was expecting to see a very large room with old nuns peeling eggs individually with lightning finger work as if they were doing crochet.
@ Karl Delavigne
Now I’m upset that didn’t happen 🙁
Maybe in china
Lol
@Bee Kay lol.. no one peels garlic in China that way.. a machine is cheaper than a bunch of prisoners.
Depends on the area your in
Jan. 19, 2021---I find it amazing how man can come up with so many machines to do so many different things.
I've heard of a machine, shaped like a flashlight, that helps men . . .
laziness is the mother of invention.
and yet fail to do so much
I wonder if the original 1st machine only did 1 egg at a time ?
It is a wonder how people can come up with inventions , can you imagine making a machine with a billion parts and telling people that your going to peel an egg with it , bet alot of people thought the inventor of this had eggplants in his head !!!
Just another one of them important things a person ought to know before dying.
You made me laugh! But it was helpful info.
We would never know this without the Internet
haaaaaaaa
Just wondering if I missed something REALLY important while watching this??
Better to know it’s THOSE not THEM.
What a jolly attitude the owner has , he would be great at the dinner table 😄👍👍🇺🇸
Not if he arrived at the dinner party with a box of eggs instead of a bottle of wine!
@@lordbushmills3089 You can keep the wine, I'd rather the eggs!
Thanks, I've learnt something new today.
Apparently you can just remove the peel. I used to remove the entire chicken.
Instead of working, here I am learning about this important mystery topic..
same, I have an important exam tomorrow DAMN ME
@king kong hahaha, I did pass it! Blessings
He gently worked that egg right out of it's shell -- his wife must love him
Are you kidding me, that's why she married him.
This man is so happy. I wish I lived in an egg peeling factory.

I love how he's telling us how gentle the process is while the camera is panning across a machine covered everywhere in exploded and splattered egg.
You can't make an omelet.
For what it's worth, they do process over a million eggs daily, and that is not anywhere near a million eggs of splatter.
Not much splatter for how many eggs are done in a day. That actually very good quality control.
TFS!!! So interesting! I’m finally learning about all the things that I thought about but never bothered to find out! AMAZING! 👍👍👍👍👍❤️✌️

He's making alot of money.
Wow I just learn a new technique on get the shell off a hard boil egg. Thanks
I knew I booked my eggs perfectly. Great Vid. Thank you and thank that man who's passion shines through.
I found that steaming eggs makes them really easy to peel.
I boil, but with baking soda in the water.
@@maggiejetson7904 With steaming the shell slips off the egg like magic.
Steaming requires less energy and peeling is easier. I never boil eggs anymore.
Add vinegar to the water
How long do you steam one egg for please?
Lovely. Food processing is very intriguing.
The video I didn't think I needed but I clearly did. My life is not more enriched. Thank you.
I use an egg cooker and they are always super easy to peel. I used to boil them and almost always a nightmare to peel.
Now do a miniaturized, home appliance version and I will buy it!
It's called hands!
Where's my check?
🤣😂😂🤣🤩
I've tried the tablespoon of vinegar in the water trick and it weakens the shell enough to make it easier
He basically showed you how, putting it in cold water

Steam the eggs for 12 minutes and let them cool off enough to handle. The shell comes off super easy!
I have to get one of those machines for my kitchen.
Same here, it'll fit nicely on the work surface next to the sink.

this really cracked me up thanks for eggsplaining.
Very interesting, thanks!
This is nuts that I can look up on TH-cam just random weird questions and have a dedicated thorough video documentary explaining it wow.
I have tried many ways to peel an egg, everyone has a different idea. I am going to give this one a try also, wish me luck.
I’m kinda amaze that they sell pre-peel boiled eggs.
Eggcellent !!!! Good Times !!
2:54 in case you're in a hurry.
Brilliant!
Thank you.
So many you tube chefs should watch this.
I found this very appealing.
‘Cracking’ video! I ‘shell’ forward it to my friends. They’re all ‘eggstatic’ about eggs!
Eleven degrees awesome, I always wondered. Thanks
Now I want a Factory That Peels Boiled Eggs!
Egg salad and deviled eggs with pickled eggs on the side for life....
Great!! Where can I purchase that machine?!

I just shake them in the water. The water is the key as you mentioned. I will never have to peel an egg again.
Far more work than I'm going to go into, especially when I found a method two years ago that works perfectly for me every time.
@@jb6712 Mind sharing this method?
@@jaylenbrownfan2112 Look above in this thread. She shakes them in the pan with water in it.

As long as you get the membrane under the shell, it pretty much comes off in one piece.
Just shake the eggs in a half filled container of water. Easy as can be. No fuss.
Put cling wrap in a small cup, crack egg and drop in, twist the wrap and boil for a few minutes. Never have to peel the buggers ever again.
Fantastic. Now, how do "I" do this at home?

and then it got recommended ??
I'll just make sure to invest in a million dollars in equipment to make that dozen deviled eggs for the next picnic.

Likely means you’re using farm fresh eggs. They’re much harder to peel. The fresher the egg, the harder to peel.
