Back when I put eggs directly into boiling water, and then ice bath, this didn't happen.

But I've found it's easier to get a perfect egg by putting them in cold water, bringing it to a boil, then taking it off the heat for ~10m.
Unfortunately this always seems to result in shells sticking

[–] Flyzeyez@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

The problem stems from peeling eggs outside. Don't do that.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

You're supposed to break the little skin between the shell and the white and pull on that. You dug past it.

That is one skill I've never been able to master. Perfectly boiled eggs I can do. Perfectly peeled eggs nope. Ice bath, spoon under running water, whatever method you got none of them has ever worked quite right. At least not consistently.

There are a lot of tricks for peeling boiled eggs, but fresh eggs from a chicken coop in your yard are a different ballgame.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

What I'm doing is after boiling, I pour out the water and shake the eggs around in the pot so all the shells break. Then I cover them with cold water and leave for a couple of minutes. The water is supposed to seep through the cracks under the shell but it doesn't work every time.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I pickle eggs and use this method for prepping and peeling.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I can't say 100% but I'm pretty sure over cooking them does this.

Dries out the membrane.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The trick is to put the egg directly from fridge into boiling water (not warm or about to be boiled water, it should be already boiling) and boil for about 6.30-7.30mins (depending on size and preference). Then wash it a bit under cold water. This increases the chances your shell might crack (maybe 1 in 10? if you submerge it slowly with a spoon) but magically works %95 of the time. I suppose the shell expands faster than the thin membrane when egg goes directly from cold to hot and thus seperates from it making peeling easier.

Why would you do it that way?

I'm not going to mansplain peeling an egg

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If you have a pressure cooker (like an instant pot) then doing hard boiled eggs in that makes them incredibly easy to peel

[–] ductTapedWindow@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

When it comes to niche kitchen gadgets the vast majority get a pass, but a cheap egg cooker is well worth the space it takes up. You can do soft/medium/hard boiled and they peel much easier. Also a really healthy snack for your pups.
