Peeling hard-cooked eggs - Mare749 - 06-19-2012
When I hard-cook eggs, I usually do a dozen at a time, using 6 for deviled eggs, and the other six for sandwiches. Why is it so easy to peel the eggs before they are refrigerated? It's so frustrating trying to peel them a day or two later.
So...the other day an idea came to me...why not put the refrigerated eggs in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes to take the chill off? Wow, what a difference that made! The shells came right off. I can't believe that this never crossed my mind before now.
Just wanted to share...

That's a good tip, Maryann. I'm curious, though. Why not peel them all before refrigerating?

Remember Billy's tip to spray eggs with Pam type spray before boiling? I've been using it ever since and it always works.

This may be a myth, but I always thought that eggs keep longer in the shell.

Myth

Yes, a myth. Most restaurants (at least where I worked) had large buckets of shelled eggs.

Well, I'm glad to know that! Thank you!

Yeah, but we have purchased the eggs that way (peeled), and I thought they were in a brine that preserved them for an additional length of time.

Billy's tip was great! I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder!
