eating eggs

[chachie]

This may be a crazy question but someone told me that if you hard boil fresh eggs the shell won't peel off easily. Is this true? This same person told me that you can eat farm eggs every day but can only eat store bought eggs twice a week. I say bull.

True. Boiling fresh eggs are more of a challenge to peel. Week old or older eggs are much easier to peel.

I would not eat by choice, store bought eggs. Knowing what is in commercial feed. Grass feed/normal feed chickens are a priority in my book.

Wish you the best.

If you want fresh eggs to be easier to peel, try putting about a tablespoon of salt in the water when you boil them. then, use a spoon to help ease them out of the shell.

It is true that adding salt to your water will help. I also seem to have better luck if I peel them before they cool down. But please don't burn yourself.
