This is a great technique to use when you REALLY need a beautiful egg for a culinary presentation!
The used vinegar becomes calcium acetate solution, which makes an excellent calcium supplement for plants! Save it to use as a foliar spray (diluted), add some to liquid fertilizer, or sprinkle it onto the compost pile to incorporate it into the compost. You might want to use some litmus paper to check that the acidity is reduced enough before adding directly to plants or soil, but putting it into the compost would manage that for you...
Awesome. Thank you that is good info to have
I've never made water soluble calcium this way before. I usually have the shells sit about 2 weeks, or until the reaction is finished. Bravo to the chef.
This is very informative. I learned a lot in this video. Thanks for sharing.
I've just boiled 6 perfectly centred quail eggs, thank you for the stirring tip. It works.
Your welcome. Thank you for watching our videos.
Wow never seen it done that way!
Makes it easy . Thanks for sharing
Just started raising quails, thank you for educating me on quail eggs.
Hey girl ! This looks like a game changer technique !! Thankyou soo so much for sharing
Over the years... I’m a little embarrassed to admit this , but I have spent literally days peeling quail eggs that have yolks to one side lol never again!
you rock :)❤️
Thank you.
Not literally, it's figuratively
My quail just started laying last week. This is the best video I’ve seen on how to peel the eggs easily. Thank you!
thank you
Thank you for this video. After peeling a dozen quail eggs today (hour or so) I pretty much gave up on pickling eggs. But with this technique I'm back in the game. I'd enjoy hearing some pickling recipes
It will be easier.
I just got through peeling 6 dozen, wish I saw this BEFORE I did LOLO! Thank you so much for this video!
Maybe I was lucky. I put my quail eggs in boiling water for 2 minutes and 45 seconds, then into a ice bath and peeled with a teaspoon and they came out perfectly. Thanks for the tips, atleast now I know how to correct it if the next batch is bad;)
Thumbs up from the Dooley's of Michigan Enjoyed The Video
Watched this vid last night... And immediately boiled my extra eggs... 90 in total... Followed your instructions... Peeled them this morning. They were perfect!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!
Fantastic!
Thank you! I would never think of doing this. It makes a huge difference.
Your welcome. It does work wonderfully.
Clever, clever, clever. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Blessings and more Blessings to you and your family
Same to you!
This is fantastic! I just learned so much, thank you mam!
Your Welcome
Thank you, I am new to this and just finished ruining a whole bunch. I will try your method... Live and learn.
Make egg salad
I've made alot of egg salad after ruining eggs lol
I watched your video last night and I thought it was an awesome thing to try so I did only I did a bunch of 30 as a test. And I'm glad I only did 30 I only got 21 out of the bunch because some of them when they crack the vinegar does get inside and they do taste totally horrible so I won't be doing it this way anymore. They also seem to have a more tougher rubbery texture and I don't like that. That it is as you say they are very easy to peel and I don't know how you managed to do 115 in 15 minutes because I did 30 and it still took me almost a half hour you go girl!
This is such a fantastic way to do quail eggs. They're so small and fiddley, the vinegar trick would definitely solve that issue. I always bake and feed the shells back to my quail, but I'm definitely going to try this with chicken eggs.Thank you very much!
Awesome
@@homesteadevolution I have a house/rescue coturnix quail who loves her baked eggshells. There's no risk of murcury as you might have in oyster shells (though miniscule) and it gives back some of the nutrients back. It's safe, because you know the source and inexpensive. I use a morter and pestle to grind it. I've also never seen her attempt to break open one if her eggs as I've heard some chicken keepers complain of. She'd much rather her mealworms or greens.
That membrane that is left is pure collagen. If you wanted to I bet you could dehydrate and grind it to make your own collagen powder. I’m going to have to try this for sure!
Oooh. You have peaked my interest 😏
Thank you! I'm going to make pickled qual eggs because I love them. They are just expensive in the store to buy already pickled
Hope you enjoy
Great video with great tips! Thank you!!!
That's insane! Learn something everyday thank you ❤️
I honestly never thought about stirring the eggs to get the yolk in the center, not even for chicken eggs, but thats brilliant. Did you come up with that idea or did someone teach you?
thank you very much, good woman
i got a 30 dollar peeler on amazon for peeling and then reuse the calcium for the birds..... good tips.....
Nice. I hope the peeler is working for you. I purchased one, and it didn't work
I plan on pickling my first week to two weeks of my quails eggs. Rarely are they fertile so i would love to make some pickled eggs
Prefer mine medium set yolk but interesting technique for hard boiled!
You are so awesome for sharing.
Thank you we love to share what we do
Thanks for the video! I’m just starting my quail egg journey, and this was really helpful. When soaking the eggs in the vinegar, do you place the jar in the fridge, or leave it at room temp?
Room temperature
I have to try this, peeling them is always a pain!
I'm so surprised the yolk isn't overcooked.
The trick to the yolk is have your colander ready. Once you have been at the boil for 3 minutes immediately drain and get them in the ice water to stop the cooking process
Thkx for your video, very handy!
Thank you for watching
thank you, very nice video ... greetings from mexico
Thank you and welcome to the Homestead
very well done vid!
Thank you
Very handy video !!!
Thank you
😮😮😮😮soooo interesting...❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I recently started boiling our quail’s eggs and have had issues with peeling them. I think my fingernails are too short.
I’m gonna try the vinegar method.
Me also! I love this advice
Nice And Simple Thanx!
Thanks!!
genius
would the membranes be safe for chickens/quail to eat? I don't know if they'd have too much vinegar for them?
Can you use the vinegar/calcium solution for anything?
Next time you do this again, do not throw the vinegar down the drain. You can keep it. Sun dry the egg yolks and cook it for 5-10mins put back the vinegar with 1:5 ratio (egg: vinegar). Viola! You have your instant Calphos (Calcium Phosphate) Fettilizer.
You just have to store it for a month though.
Thanks, I think I know where I went wrong last time lol. One question, could you reuse the vinegar? As someone on a budget, I feel like I'm wasting it by dumping it
We don't reuse however we have heard if some filtering it with cheese cloth and reusing it but we have never tried
I have the same question, have you tried it?
Thanks for sharing. Have you tried steaming them in a instant pot?
I have and I didn't like it so much. Maybe I did it wrong. Was new instant we hadn't had it long
I have done it that way before and it make the eggs nasty tasting I used both apple cider and distilled vinegar
So I bought a qual egg peeler
I hope you like the peeler. We never had a problem with the taste
Has anyone (watching this) done QUAIL eggs in an Instant Pot? I do picked eggs in the Instant Pot & they peel beautifully. I would sure like to know if any one has tried quail eggs in an IP ! Thanks for the video.
I steamed some quail eggs for 1 minute, they were hard boiled, but didn't peel any easier ☹️
I was wondering if you add vinegar to your boiling water? We used to do that with our yard eggs because they were so hard to peel
So do you soak them in vinegar in the fridge or just on the counter?
Counter
I tried this vinegar method. It worked great but most of my eggs had a vinegar taste. I can't sell them this way. Didn't like the flavor. Sorry.
How long did you leave them in the vinegar. We have eaten them plain and had never had a vinegar taste. However with that being said most people that use this method pickle the eggs which gives the eggs a vinegar taste.
How long you boild the egg?thank you
3 minutes once it comes to a full rolling boil
I wonder if the gas coming off is flammable? Like a miner's lamp?
Not sure
Do you let them set out when in vinegar or in fridge ?
We leave them out. We boil them late in the evening then finish them up in the morning
Have you ever cooked them in the instant pot? If so is there a good method for it. Figured it wouldn't be a good idea since they need to be stirred
no we haven't
Superb
Thanks 🤗
How long does it take for your eggs to come up to a rolling boil? We did a batch a few nights ago and it seemed like it took 15 minutes of stirring with the stove on max heat.
It is dependent on how many eggs you have in the water. It takes us 10 minutes on average
Does this work for soft boiled quails eggs?
that vinegar can go in the compost.
absolutely
I’m sure it could be shortened to 1 minute or so.
What could be shortened to a minute?
Lol warsh...must be from upstate ny.
Nope. Not NY
After doing it the way you did it do you think I can use my quail pilling machine to take the membrane off
I'm not sure. My peeling machine is junk. It tears more than it peels. Thats why I do it this way.
That's my problem too it's tearing my eggs mine is electric commercial grade great eggs can't be too fresh eggs can't be too old you can't boil them too longI don't know what the hell to do because sometimes I have 2000 eggs to peel
During the vinegar stage do they sit in the fridge or the counter?
On the counter top at room temperature
Do you put the jar with eggs in vinegar in fridge while the shell are dissolving? Or leave on counter
Leave on the counter
@@homesteadevolution thanks the spots are already coming off. Lol magic!
Can you use regular white vinegar, not distilled?
Yes
Does the vinegar make the eggs taste like vinegar or does it not affect the egg taste
We have not had it affect it
Can you reuse the vinegar for another batch?
Yes you can depending g on how many egg concentration used in the previous batch. Most times a splash of fresh vinegar is a good boost to get it going again.
Is there another option other than vinegar due to allergies to corn?
Not to dissolve shell that I know of.
can you freeze shelled hard boiled quail eggs ?
I would not recommend freezing hard boiled eggs as it throws off the texture.
Do the quail eggs then taste of vinegar,please?
No they do not. It doesn't go thru the inner membrane.
Quil egg taste like vinegar
How long did you leave them In for. We never get a vinegar taste.
I just had the same thing happen. 3 dozen quail eggs completely inedible. They soaked in vinegar about 18-20 hours. Is that too long?
Only leave them until the shells beco.e pliable .
Well, even if the eggs got a bit vinegar(y?), most are going right back into a vinegar brine anyhow, what’s the big deal? Great vid btw!😋
@@banparlous2552 My pickled eggs seemed to taste better!
Waste of vinegar.. 😁
The vinegar can be reused. If one is peeling eggs for pickling this is the best way to to do them as any cracks in the egg white makes it unsafe.
Why would it be unsafe?
@@steveamerla5258 when the egg white has a crack in it that is an entry point for bacteria to enter the center of the egg. The pickling process will naturally protect the outside of the egg but depending on the amount of time the egg is in the brine it may not reach the center
Thank you for the information, I did not know that.
Thank you!
