See! I’m not alone. It's like different years makes it different or something.
Years prior it would peel as you described and of course now it's perfect no matter how fresh or old the eggs are. Hopefully it stays like that the rest of the year or forever 😂
Okay wth 😂 I tried boiling an older egg (less than a week old or about a week old) and it peeled just as easily as the one I "froze"
I’m doing one last test on the egg boiling device that always gives me a hard time to peel fresh eggs. If they both peel easy then I give up.
My final conclusion...
Yes!! At this point I just eat the fresh eggs and then refrigerate then ones I didn't eat that day. That way I can actually enjoy fresh eggs instead of eating "old" eggs all the time. I still have eggs from March in my refrigerator but I eat the ones I collect daily in May 😂
I had heard that before, but doesn't work for me. I’ve boiled 3 month old eggs and it was just as difficult as boiling day old eggs. Half the egg stuck to the shell.
So far this has been the only thing that has worked.
Don't freeze them, but do place them in the freezer for a few hours to get them ice cold.
Then let them get back down to at least refrigerator temperature or whatever temperature you usually let your eggs get before boiling. Just not ice cold or they will explode 😂
I think that's why store bought eggs peel so easily. Don’t they put them in a cooler to transport them? They aren't frozen but they do get ice cold.
I just tried it again and they peeled so easily.
I used 3 to 5 day old eggs
I washed them, dried them, then placed them in the freezer for 2-4 hours.
Long enough to get them ice cold but not frozen.
I took them out, let them get back down to room temperature and boiled them my usual way:
Let water get to a running boil, add eggs gently, leave...
