Did you try it yet?

I tried it and it didn't work for me

the only thing I find that works is to let the eggs age for about a week or so and then boil them.

I just tried and it worked great for me. I had my douts but was still surprized it really does work.

I run my hardboiled eggs under cold water just long enough to hold them - then I gentle crack the shell and roll it until it's totally crackeled all over and then I peel it off - it works every time - but I'm telling ya - you gotta have a high tolerance for heat because it is really hot - if it's too intolerable, I hold it under the cold running water as I peel it.

So....... I told my 'granny' about this. She just called and told me she blew her false teeth across the kitchen floor!

Edited to add: She did say the no peel method worked.

I tried this with 5 eggs the first time in a small pot and it worked great. Last night I tried with 10 eggs in a bigger pot and did not work so well. I'm wondering if I should have used more baking soda since I had more eggs in bigger pot of water?

I usually take the deviled eggs to potluck at church on 5th Sundays since we're the ones with chickens.

I just can't do it.

But wouldn't they be easier to peel without necessarily "blowing" them out of their shells?

ETA: My DH just informed me that he learned how to do this in cubscouts....
