For making peelable boiled eggs, the key is to quickly rinse them in cold water as soon as the boiling time is done. Rinse until the eggs are slightly warm. I throw my boiled eggs in a bowl of ice water after boiling. This helps separate the membrane from the egg making it peel easier 😉
Perfect boiled egg: sauce pan like yours here. about a half inch of water, maybe a little more. Stick your index finger in...if the water covers the nail completely, that's probably enough. Boil water. As soon as water comes to boil, EXTREMELY GENTLY put eggs in. You do NOT want the shells to get even a slight crack. Cover. The whole idea here is to cook the eggs by steaming them, so leave the lid on. Don't take it off to check on them or anything. Cook 7 minutes. Remove from heat and either put the eggs in cold water or just run cold tap water into the sauce pan... you just want to stop the eggs from continuing to cook. Once you can handle them comfortably, go ahead and shell them and enjoy with a bit of salt and pepper. The whites will be firmly cooked, the yolk will be just slightly under solid, kind of a gooey/jelly texture, which I think is perfect. If you want the yolk slightly more solid, just change the steaming time to 8 or 9 minutes.
It's like in pirate movies, the silver "booty" is always nicely tarnished/patina'd. Now we know: the pirates kept their loot in their lunch boxes, too close to their hard boiled eggs. We cracked the code, and I didn't even need a PhD in pirate-ology.
I did it with a junk silver quarter. It was beautiful. Then i tried to ckean it with baking soada and foil but it just got dark in color😁. I love doing experiment's
lol I thought about making egg salad with them afterwards and it would probably be fine but I didnt I threw it out just in case there was some reaction I wasnt aware of lol
Earlier this evening I did the same, I have a new ring which way too shiny/blingy. I cleaned the ring beforehand, the oils from your hand prevents the reaction to take place and it could end up blotched. Put 1 mashed up egg into a small tupperware box, put a piece of paper on top of that so the ring didn't come into direct contact with the egg. Took it out after 12 minutes and it looks very nice. There are different colors too, blue and red but the overall appearance is a warm dark, and the bling has definitely gone.
One thing i did after this to make them look super cool, was i took some baking powder and water my fingers and just gently went over the silver, it evened out that splotchy look a little and then all the high spots were just barely a different tone than the low spots on the coin. I did it on a cull silver eagle and it is a showpiece now (for people that like the look)
They look awesome, especially that silver! Is it possible to force patina a knife (copper Leek) without taking it apart? Wasn't sure if it would be harmful to the (cpm154) blade, hardware, etc. I know it SHOULD be disassembled, but what would happen if you didn't?...
I think if you did this with a whole knife it would be fine the other metals wont take this harshly if at all especially if they are more polished surfaces, its a affordable enough knife it worth a try :)
I like coins that don't have a patina, so I would never intentionally color a coin. With that said, this is a neat technique and the results were surprising to me. Great video!
Put eggs in water, put heat on high with lid on, once it starts boiling, lower heat to low/med-low to maintain a rolling boil without boiling over. Depending on egg size boil for 7-9 minutes (larger eggs take longer). That will prevent the outside of the yolk turning grey or the yolk getting too crumbly or dry.
That is something new for me leaving coins in hard boiled eggs. I guess I never heard of it or I didn't want to wast good EGGS to treat metals. I have so many other chemicals to treat metals. Just let nature do it's thing. Bronze you can do lot's of color treatments to that metal.
.....well it works with silver too as you can see in the video and im sure other metals as well...a quick google search could probably answer the question better than I can
@@doubledome2076 i litterally watched it twice and again hes like "well im not sure lets try it" "Boiling the eggs" "It introduces sulphur but lets try it" "It works with copper coins and silver coins well" How is my question stupid in anyway? Since nickel plating and stuff is different i was curious to know if it would work on some different firearms.
@@MrFreefonix420 if you watched the video you’d see him put a silver coin with the Aztec or Mayan calendar on the back in with the copper rounds and they all turned out how he wanted them to: patina’d

The old iced water bath trick also works like a charm !
thanks for the tip I happen to do that this time just to save time lol it did certainly work well :)
After rolling boil starts turn heat off and cover for 12min. Remove eggs and run cold water. Perfect everytime
I give them 16 mins
hot eggs straight to ice cold water after boiling makes them peel super easy!
I heard throwing in a cap full of vinegar in the water when boiling the eggs helps with peeling. Doesn’t transfer taste or anything.

I saw a twilight zone episode with a coin landing on the edge, the man could hear people's thoughts. Did it work ????
Always add a splash of Vintager to your hard boiled Eggs water before boiling. (keeps the eggs from cracking under water)
Can't believe you actually balanced all those coins in that jar
can you and would you still eat those eggs after doing that?
What's your definition of "could" and "able".......
If shit hit the fan or I was lost in the woods, you bet your ass they'd be good! Lol

@@cutlerylover i was thinking copper poisoning
Late to the video lol but try just palmolive dish soap in a rag
Can you bring it back to normal?
I hear bleach darkens it the best

Aren't eggs wonderful? So diverse yet simple. BOK! BOK!
May need to try this on my 84 silver prospector. It's my pocket piece. Has some nice toning on the edges already.
Put the eggs in cold water after u cook em for a couple seconds then its easy to peel
Hey Jeff i have a video idea, could you do a 2022 precious metals collection video?
Is it the egg whites or the yolk that has the sulfur? Because i really like hard boiled egg whites but i always throw away the yolks
As soon as you bring a hard boiled egg out of hat watter put it in ice water as cold as you can get it it won't stick to shell
If the around the yoke goes black they've been boiled too long.

Interesting video. I think I’d prefer a ‘flame anno’
I start with boiling water, and leave them in for 8 mins
just soak in well water from florida lol 😂
Now make egg salad sandwiches
Why don't you use a bottle of sulfur from the store
Smell like muhfuggin eggz in here
Wow

thanks this was fun but im the same I dont mind natural toning but I wont be doing this to anymore silver...
Eggs were old, fresh eggs peel better.
Didn't they take most of the copper out of pennies in 1982?
yes pennies were 95% copper, and 5% zinc until they changed it to 2.5% copper plating and a 97.5% zinc base...
Wow 😳!
Crazy
You didn’t need to put the egg whites into the bowl. :)
lol thanks
I prefer shiny
