Boiled eggs that start in cold water are hard to peel because the proteins in the egg white set slowly, which gives them time to fuse to the surrounding membrane. When you try to remove the shell, parts of the white cling to the membrane, and the surface of the egg is unattractively pockmarked. Instead of a cold-water start, we place cold eggs directly into hot steam, which rapidly denatures the outermost egg white proteins, causing them to form a solid gel that shrinks and pulls away from the membrane. The shell slips off easily to reveal smooth, unblemished hard-cooked eggs.

63 years struggling with peeling. 2 minutes of the video, no more struggle. Who says you can't teach an old person new tricks.
Amazing. Perfecto every time once I did it correcyly after the 1st attempt.
So many decades of frustration peeling eggs. Thanks!!
This worked amazing! Thanks posting.
Why do you want boiled eggs if your a dog
You peeled eggs starting at 0 or 7?
This is so sweet
Was dreading peeling two dozen eggs to make deviled eggs for church..THIS WORKS!
I peeled 24 eggs in 10 minutes!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Impressive 👍
Are devil egg even allowed at church?
@@johnsampson6387 I guess you could call them angel eggs.
@R M there's also vegetarian which means you could consume cheese, milk, yogurt, butter. As far as health, vegan is the best way to go. So Christians ought to use their own free will to be mostly vegan for both the health and animal suffering implications. I don't believe in 100 percent veganism myself.
@@woodstream6137 most impressive
I hate it when I make hard boiled eggs only to lose more than half the product while attempting to peel the shell from the egg.
and you lose egg and it's not pretty !
@@KindCountsDeb3773 For sure. I had started peeling an egg before video. Poor thing was only half its size.
BRILLIANT!!! I can’t thank you enough, nor can the hundreds of people I’ve shared this with. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!!!
Finally all the information anyone would need in under two minutes. Thank you!
This is also a highlight for me as well, no long dialogue before the actual demonstration. Perfectly done
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!! No other video is needed on the internet about this topic, ever. Just do exactly what this guy says. It’s literally that simple. Trust the process, it just works. 😱🤩
I raise my own chickens and peeling fresh eggs has been a nightmare. This method resulted in easy-to-peel shells. Loved it.
I love this method, but have found that just laid eggs dont set up hard enuf for devilled eggs. Have you tried to make hard boiled eggs just laid by your chix?
@@ak056kub I try to let them age for a week before trying to hard boil them. If I do that, they set just fine. I did need to extend the time though as they were a bit soft at the end of his recommended time.
I found this video last year. Since then I've been using this technique and adjusting times somewhat. This is so much easier than boiling eggs in water. I now use this method only, steaming for at least 13 and typically up to 14 minutes, then immersing in water with ice (making sure the eggs are completely covered, and adding ice once or twice to keep it cold). After at least 15 minutes (and up to 17), I remove the ice, dump 1/2 the water as shown, and shake in the covered container at least 40 (sometimes 45-50) times. It typically works well, sometimes better than others. This morning I let the eggs warm up some to nearly room temperature (about 30 minutes) after removing from the fridge and before starting, and it was the most successful yet... didn't even have to really peel, as the shells fell off. Thank you ATK for this tip!!
Thanks for your tips! I was wondering room temp vs cold as video doesnt say.
Thanks for the tip to warm up the eggs first!
No need to keep eggs in the fridge. They are not kept in the fridge in the supermarket.
@@AmoralTom Depends on where you live. In the US, you have to keep them in the fridge because the eggs are washed during processing which removes the natural coating that prevents bacteria from getting inside the egg. In US supermarkets, eggs are refrigerated.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!! I use this method for making my pickled eggs and it worked flawlessly!!! The eggs all cooked perfectly and the frustration that accompanies the time consuming work of hand peeling the eggs is now history. WHY anyone would do hard boiled eggs differently after watching this video is beyond me. THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!
Glad to know that this worked so well for your pickled eggs. I use quail for mine. (Customers prefer)
This should save me a ton of time. 👍
All these years I have been struggling,and now I am free.Thanks.
There must be a dozen different ways to make hard boiled eggs. This is the ONLY one that actually works. Bless You!
At age 74 I started steaming eggs for exactly 13 minutes, just like this says. I've done this for the past year and every single egg was perfectly cooked. Even more amazing is that it works on brand new eggs as well as old ones. They do peel perfectly and I'd never go back to boiling eggs the old way.
santafejack can you see green ring around the yolk? I do every time maybe I did wrong!
Did you take them straight out of the very cold refrigerator? Isn't it the same thing? Shouldn't I set out at room temp for awhile?
@@cfitz4397 that's a very good question. Did you ever find the answer? Thanks.
@@uchibauki2515 I read somewhere the green shows the eggs were overcooked.
@@KeithOutWest No. I foolishly thought Test Kitchen would reply. Guess I'll do my own research.
Perfect! Simple and sensible. By far the best hard "boiled" eggs I've ever made. That being said, know your cooktop! If your burner controls don't work well you may need to adjust the temperature! I attempted this at my mom's house, to impress her, but ended up with a mess. If you cook them correctly they come out just like the video. I believe at my mom's they cooked too low so the whites stuck to the shells and would not peel.
But again, great video, great method. I love it!
Absolutely the best method ever! I stuck a push pin in the fat end, gave them two more minutes as I am at 5000 ft, when I got around to peeling one several days later it peeled easily and was perfectly cooked. I am amazed at how simple this is. Thank you, ATK, for yet another perfect recipe.
I wanted to make a lot of pickled eggs and I have had terrible results using other methods. I finally found this and followed the directions to the letter. AMAZING! I just steamed 8 dozen eggs, one dozen at a time, perfect results! Only trouble I had was shaking the first batch a little too hard in the box and I had 2 eggs "break" which I simply ate for lunch :) Several of the eggs actually came out of the shell while shaking in the box. So slick and easy!
Tip: if you crack the large end of the egg before you put them in the box to shake, you can shake a lot less with perfect results.
I smiled so big after doing these steps.
I literally picked up the egg from outside the cold container and the shell practically slipped right off. Didn’t even have to “peel”. It literally fell right off.
This was awesome. Video was short simple and directly to the point. Results speak for themselves
I boiled 6 eggs
For 10 min
Then let it sit in cool container for another 10 min.
Shook it up real good. Then bam ready to eat. I saved a little more time and still worked perfect for me
So in boiling water not steam?
Like so many things with good cooking, this shows that getting ‘perfect’ anything requires a mixture of skill, know-how, patience and a willingness to follow a process.
Hard boiled eggs that are ‘perfect’ are not easy to make/prepare and, though it sounds straightforward, it’s not! This lovely short video encompasses the technique, the ‘kit’ that’s needed, and the process. The end result is a ‘perfect’ boiled edible and delicious egg. How do I know that? I followed the ‘Chef Ritter’ process and, lo and behold, it worked!
Thank you for sharing this great method of getting delicious boiled eggs. 👍
Except you mangled his name...it's "Gitter."
@@LeeKeels Chef Ritter is fantastic.
PERFECT!!
@@KeithOutWest He was great in the movie Problem Child.
Ive been making hard cooked eggs this way since my daughter taught me too several years ago. Thank you for sharing this “tried & true” method of cooking eggs with your viewers.
58 years old and could never peel eggs correctly even after being told countless ways.
Tried this method and by gum it worked! THANK YOU!!!!
Amazing. I've been trying to get good hard cooked eggs all my life and now I finally learn. thank You ATK and Joe Gitter.
IT ACTUALLY WORKS! THANK YOU! My mom thought I was crazy when I told her I was going to steam them. They came out beautifully and the yolks didn't have that green layer.
For the love of good damn food. I’ve been waiting for this video my entire life. Worked like a charm. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Boone
Good God-damned eggs are clearly the best:)
Noob lol
"good damn food" or "damn good food"?
i agree with you
I am totally in love with my husband but now I think you are right up there! Thank you for showing me how to cook and peel hard boiled eggs. I am so amazed! Thank you!
OMG! I just discovered this video and this worked brilliantly. I have tried so many ways to boil eggs but always had an issue with peeling them. This technique not only made it so easy, but most the eggs were almost completely peeled when I was finished shaking . Thank you!!!
Steaming the eggs has worked very well for me and I stumbled across the “shake in a container” method just recently. It’s good to see some exact times for cooking and letting sit; thanks for doing that granular of testing!
That's great! Joe
WHABBOUT SOFT BOILED EGGS ?@@AmericasTestKitchen
I loved watching this. Method worked very well. Can we also have more of this chef please?
I must try this. I love hard boiled eggs and have always had trouble removing the shell.
1- Put 1 inch water into a boiling point
2- Put eggs in a steamer, put the lid on, put the heat to medium-low and let it steam for 13 minutes
3- Bath the eggs in a container with cold water and ice for 15 minutes
4- Shake it all (with the lid container on) for 40 shakes
5- Peel the shell off
Thanks*
The unpeeled eggs can be stored in the fridge for several days.
To easily peel a single boiled egg, put it into a hard plastic cup or similar container containing about an inch of water, cover*, then shake vigorously for 3 seconds or so.
The shell will easily be wiped off . . . if any remains.
* I often just use the palm of one hand while holding the cup with the other.
Pour off about half of the ice water before the 40 shakes.
So basically it's not a boiled egg?
@Ahmad Jauhar it's steam hardened 😂
At age 73 I finally found America’s Test Kitchen way to easily peel boiled eggs. Works like a charm. Thanks a bunch!
I know the feeling! Am 66 and just learned about this a year ago - but this vid, which I just listened to first the first time ever, offers the best and most concise explanation of why and how, with the demonstration, I have ever seen!
Also, have you heard about BAKING you bacon in the oven instead of suffering to make it on the stovetop? It is unreal how easy and wonderful to make bacon that way!
This method really works and is the best! Thank you.
Fantastic! Worked exactly as demonstrated and the eggs were perfect. We did it with a dozen and there was not an "bad egg" in the bunch. THANK YOU !
This works SO well!!! Tried it for the first time today and they were PERFECT! Thank you! Thank you!
Best thing I've seen all day!! Thank you!!
This is by far the very best way to do hard cooked eggs. Just did 13 and all were perfect. I can now make my favorite...deviled eggs! Thanks for the explanation as well as the technique.
This technique works so good it's amazing! I work in catering, so I up-sized this and did 50 at a time - flawless!
Works exactly as described!! Great to see that it's not just some fluke that works in the video and when you try it it doesn't
This is the most informative video I have ever seen on how to correctly cook and peel hard-boiled eggs. THANK YOU!!
Absolutely the best advice to steam boil eggs. A tremendous pleasure not only to eat but peel as well. Adjusting my time to 11 minutes was my only alteration.
All I can Express is THANK YOU
Did 11 minutes produce a soft, runny yoke or just not as dry?
FINALLY! A method that actually works! I've tried old eggs, boiling from cold, etc. Nothing was reliable. This method worked perfectly on fresh from the store eggs I had bought today. Thank you so much for the information!
Just followed your instructions with perfect results. I've hand written the steps on a 3X5 card and taped it to the inside of a cabinet door. Thanks and God bless you.
Tried twice worked like a charm. Beautiful technique!
We're glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and trying it out!
I'm stunned!
Excellent result! Plus the temperature and timing for hot and cold make sense! Thank you for sharing!
Genius! It went against everything else I've learned, but this actually works. I had to shake it another 40x in a bit less water; no biggie. Amazing. Ty!
Twenty years of sticking eggshells. Not any more, thank you SO MUCH!
?? I followed the directions and this method just destroyed the dozen eggs that I was going to use to make my deviled Easter egg chicks for tomorrow. 😢😡 When I shook it just a few times, they spit open into mush and were raw in the middle. **I see now that many people have had the same problem. Note to self… sort comments by "newest comments" first, not by "top comments." I am so disappointed and it's too late to go buy more eggs.
Well I’ve used this method several times and it’s super easy and works every time
Bravo finally a solution. I've seen many tips on other ways. I will try yours. Thank you
Amazing! Couldn't be simpler or cleaner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Me: peels egg
Also me: **Peeled all of the white part**
I tried your method and it works great!! Thanks so much.
I rarely make hard-boiled eggs. But, after watching this video, I made a couple hard-cooked eggs using the instructions in this video. . .and they came out perfectly! The whites aren't rubbery or watery. The yolks are aren't chalky or green. They also peeled easily. Thanks for doing the research and posting this video. 👍
Can't wait to try this! Literally no other "sure fire" method from TH-cam we've tried has worked.
If this doesn't work for you, try leaving the steam at full gallop vs lowering the temp. And fill the pan to a bit below the steamer's bottom so that you don't have boiling water hitting the eggs...it may crack them. And even at full boil for the whole 13 minutes there will still be water left in the pan...no burned out pan! Bon appetit!
WoW, makes life 🙂.
I can't wait to try these. Years before, I used to boil the eggs in hot water to start, then was convinced to start in cold water. From that point on, I realize that my eggs never peeled cleanly again. What was wrong with my thinking?? Thanks for the jolt of reality!
Amazing!!! 1 out of 4 actually peeled itself. Super Easy. Thank You!
oh my!!! didnt believe it....best process EVER..... steaming did it!!! easy peasy peeling and perfect inside.....thank you!!
Thank the lord in heaven. Finally something that actually works.
I vow i will not give "mother nature" a speck of God`s credit
Amen
What could possibly go wrong? Well I am going to try it just to see! I cooked an 18 egg batch the other day to toss in my red wine, vinegar and spice mason jar for the fridge. I cooked them in cold water and they were so impossible to peel after struggling with about 6 eggs all shredded and torn I just threw them all out! Grrrrrrrrrrr. And here I am. Thanks for the video. I hope it works when I try it.
Does not work with fresh eggs, any ideas?
maggie roberge I just cooked fresh ones this way. Worked just like the video.
Since I found this method, I will never use any other method. It truly is 'fool proof'.
I've used the Gitter method for creating hard-boiled eggs a number of times over the last several weeks with an unqualified success every time! It's pure genius! Thank you for sharing such a helpful kitchen trick! I love it!
Larry A.
Thanks, Joe! The first easy-peel cooking method that actually works!
The last batch I cooked was steamed. They were a delight to peel.
Eggscellent! Gonna hafta try it. My usual way is to throw 'em in the washer with a hot wash and cold rinse. Then I tro 'em in the dryer for 45 minutes and when the dryer stops, the eggs are completely peeled and the shells are all in the lint trap.
@James R. Puehl Sr. Lol....yes, I am pulling your L'EGGS🦵🦵
e greenie 😂
😉😍
ROTFLMAO
Lol
I’m so amazed at how perfectly cooked the eggs were and how incredibly easy they were to peel. I’ll never make them any other way again!
Thank you. Followed the instructions and the eggs turned out PERFECTLY. Thanks again.
Serious happy dance. Worth that little extra. And shaking in the container is just more fun.
I've never come back to a video to leave my thoughts, but I just wanted to say this worked perfectly. Steamed them for 13 minutes, straight into an ice water bath into the refrigerator for 15 minutes, and then I peeled them on low running water and the shells practically fell off. This was perfect!
Xombie This has been my exact experience for the last year using this technique. I'm 75 and only discovered this method a year ago. I love egg salad, hard boiled eggs with spinach salad, etc. and like to cook up 6-12 at a time. This makes peeling a breeze and I've not seen a green/gray ring in a year. Every egg comes out perfectly cooked!
This method is the best!!!!! I’ve tried so many different ways that kind of worked. Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much. Didn't have the container like you, but used an jar filled 3/4 with water and it worked.
Thank you! Great video! I love your channel
Thanks for watching!
Tried it this way for the first time, 2 of the eggs came completely out of the shell while I was shaking them👍
Me too!!!!!
Half my eggs fell apart completely first time I tried. This method is by far the best, but I dont bother shaking them anymore.
What happened to the rest of the eggs? Did you only make two?
@@underthestarsoverthemoon4259 I tried this method like others and my eggs were still raw and when I shook them in the water it was a mess. I live in high altitude 5,280 plus, do you think that matters?
@@rosalindgoens9587 Yes, it matters. The boiling temperature drops as altitude increases, so the steam isn't as hot, and the eggs cook more slowly. At sea level, the water boils at 212 F. At 5250, it's ten degrees lower. I'd guess that the lower pressure at higher altitude also decreases the mass of the steam, and thus the amount of energy that is transferred into the eggs is probably somewhat lower. The steaming technique can probably still work for you, as the temperature of a hard boiled egg only needs to be about 170 F, but it'll take longer. You'll have to experiment to determine exactly how much longer.
This method is perfect - works every time. Thank-You!!!
Worked like a charm. I have tried many but yours was new. Thanks, you a gem.
Love his voice and smile. Lovely accent. I make deviled eggs a lot and I'll try this next time.
Judith Flynn Judith, what's your fave deviled egg recipe? I'm looking for one that's tried and true. Thanks!
Sue Leigh 101 Hey Sue, have you tried Food Wishes channel? I know he has a couple of deviled egg recipes. I haven't tried them, but all the recipes I have tried have been keepers.
Tried this technique last night and just like Austin Crane one of the eggs came completely out of its shell while I was shaking them. All the eggs peeled easily and cleanly and there was no dark line around the yolk. Great suggestion! I'll use it every time I want to make a hard-boiled egg!
I tried this and all eggs cracked in the shaking step and inside the container they were all very runny. Impossible to use any of the eggs. Any idea why?
@@dubled2765Did you put the eggs in while the while the water was boiling well? If not, that may be the cause of undercooking.
Also, cooking at a higher elevation means a longer cooking time, so if you live in the mountains, that may be a factor.
Other factors include:
• egg size - bigger eggs, longer cook time:
• cold eggs (like out of the fridge) - longer cook time.
@@donna30044 I followed the instructions exactly...I was really hoping it would have worked...thank you for reaching out
@@dubled2765 -If they were runny, perhaps you did not boil them long enough to start??
I was skeptical, but tried it! Perfect eggs! So cool!
Helpful video, without needless intro or stalling for time. Good stuff!
I definitely have to try this next Easter. We usually crack the eggs just a bit before dying them so we can have multi-colored egg salad or potato salad or deviled eggs. (The kids love it.) This seems like a way to get a lot of cracks in those shells. Our next day-after-Easter dishes are going to be spectacular!
you lost me at steamer basket
Fantastic.. the right way to broil eggs!! Thanks for sharing Master Cheff !! 😉🙏
I boiled some eggs yesterday, and to my amazement the shells very easily came off. So many years of frustration Gone With the Wind. I am passing this gem of an idea to everyone I know. Thanks for posting.
I tried this over the weekend with company here and it worked perfectly! This is the best way I have ever found to make-hard cooked eggs! The time didn't matter from start to finish as I was multi-tasking (ie) frying bacon while the eggs were steaming. So excited to tell EVERYONE I know! :-) Chef...you ROCK!!!
So wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing your story and for watching.
I think we'll start hearing about this all over. Thanks for sharing!
THE BEST EVER. The peels literally fall off. Awesome!.
This is so fabulous! It works like a charm and makes beautiful eggs! LOVE this method!
Can you use this method for doing a large amount of eggs? Or would I need to adjust the cooking time?
You can do this for soft boiled eggs too. Just steam them shorter and instead of soaking for 15 minutes just run them under the cold tap for about 15 seconds or so, and then crack them on the pointy end first, and peel (could probably use the shaking technique as well if you want). The main trick is that the air sac starts to collapse when you cool them- cracking them lets the air in and completes that and peels them inside the shell.
Oh it works for soft boiled! I tried this and all eggs cracked in the shaking step and inside the container they were all very liquid runny. Impossible to use any of the eggs. Any idea why?
@@dubled2765 You have to cook them long enough that the white sets off enough to peel but the yolk hasn't set. For a large egg about 6:20 seconds (time it from when they're actually under full steam) or so should do it. Also don't shake them. They're more fragile, you have to peel them by hand.
How long do you steam your soft boiled eggs for?
@@andreamcmanus1068 Depends on the size. About 6:20 for a large egg which weighs about 65g. But I'm not sure of the exact time, I actually use a steamer, I add ~42g of water and wait till it boils dry, but that's my steamer which you don't have. 6:20 should be in the ballpark, and you can adjust it up and down by 30 seconds or so for your own eggs and how you like them.
@@BooBaddyBig I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I am going to try out this method soon!
Iwiil second that comment. This actually works as shown. Thank you so much!
I couldn’t believe how perfect the hard boiled eggs were, when I did them this way. The shell practically fell off. Thanks so much for the tips!
Now I can eat eggs without the shells, everyday.
First time I tried this the egg cracked. :(
I had started on highest heat setting got the water up to a rolling boil then turned down the heat to between medium and medium high. This is the spot were on my electric burner I get a fry boil and normally boil my eggs at. Then I placed the steamer basket with the egg in the pot and put on the lid. I don't know if the egg had a crack in it already or if having the water up to a rolling boil first had it too hot causing the pressure in the egg to rise too quickly cracking the shell.
Anyway I tried it a second time I started on the highest heat setting and this time as soon as the water was at a fry boil not a full on rolling boil I turned down the heat to between medium and medium high and put the steamer basket in with the egg and put the lid on. Cooked for 13 minutes then filled the pot with cold tap water then drained the water and filled the pot with cold tap water again and let sit for 30 second to a minute. This gets the eggs to stop cooking and cool enough to peel. They are just actually warm at this point. They didn't crack and peeled easily. You don't need the ice. :)
If they remain this easy to peel it will be my favorite way to make hard boiled eggs. :D
This works pretty well. One thing, follow the directions and time exactly for best results. I hurried up cooling a bit and a couple were not cooperating. Very good video!
Perfect instructions and perfect eggs. Thanks!
A few things that he has neglected to mention. The steaming time might take a bit longer if you are using fridge temperature eggs. Or if you are using a steamer that is not a basket that is inserted into the boiling pot. I have a steamer that is essentially a double boiler with holes in the bottom of the upper pot. I bring the bottom pot to a boil reduce to medium, load a single layer of cold eggs into the upper pot, cover and let them simmer in the steam for 15 minutes for hard-boiled. Then into the ice bath for 15 minutes and give them a shake. But yes, perfect eggs every time - shells come right off, zero green on the yolk. So you might have to adjust your time according to your egg temperature and apparatus. But this is by far, the best and easiest method.
i had a double boiler aswell, and i have refrigerated eggs, tested the eggs at 13 mins and then every 5 minutes after that, they took about 23 to 25 minutes at medium low heat until they were cooked properly, some of them peeled real easy but others were kind of a pain.....i think some were a pain because they were brand new eggs though
Oh gracious, who’s got time for this? Alas. I should have read the comments, your comments were helpful and might have warned me off. I have a box full of egg froth after shaking, they were not done at all. I don’t care to test multiple batches to find the right time, especially if they need to cool for 15 min after!
I have the same kind of basket, and just made steamed eggs using another website’s method. I should have checked with ATK first. I have what is essentially poached eggs. Very runny. My boiled eggs re always hit or miss. 😔
Another factor can be elevation... 13 or 15 might be great at sea level but you need to tack on extra time in Colorado or Alberta because the steam is not as hot due to air pressure
NOW I READ THIS, TOO LATE! CHANGE YOUR VIDEO TO ACCOMMODATE THIS!
My experience says the longer you let it sit in water after cooking, the easier it is to peel. Crack the shells (but not peel) before the ice bath might help too.
Shaking the eggs in a container is to crack the shells (but not peel) - just as you suggest! But not until AFTER the ice bath!
@@rgeorge9260 Right. The ice bath is to stop the cooking process so you don't get the green ring around the yolk.
But if the shells are cracked before they're cool, then as the eggs cool and shrink, water gets pulled between membrane and egg white, and that makes it even easier to peel. At least, that's my working theory.
Worked amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
Finally I was able to get my boiled eggs perfect 👍 thank you very much for sharing your tips.
I was listening only and heard “cook for 30 minutes” then “soak for 50 minutes” lol thank goodness for the text on screen.

Is there a different steaming timing between refrigerated eggs, or room temperature ones??
WORST advice EVER! Followed the directions to the letter! Most difficult eggs to peel ever! The people who say it works must be his friends. A waste of 24 eggs!!
@@Sonderonyt What do you think happened? I have been making hard boiled eggs for years and this is actually the only way I've ever done it that actually worked. That being said, I only make 1-2 at a time and just started doing this method about a year ago. Perhaps your pot was too small for the amount of eggs you were steaming? That's the only thing I can think could be the cause.
Your a Mess not a Kitchen Cooker!!
why all the complaining? this is way faster when you include the peeling time (not to mentin frustrstion). i bring hardboiled eggs to work a lot and peeling them is a b*tch and takes forever. this is the perfect way to make-ahead the hard cooked eggs and the hands-on time is pretty minimal. FANASTIC tip, thank you!
Agreed, if it truly works. I'm going to try it for myself.
YES!!! Finally, someone know what they are talking about! Thank you!
This is absolutely the best advice ever. Do it, it works exactly as shown. A life time of doing it wrong! This is like a miracle!!!!!!!!! Thank You -Thank you- Thank you!
