hard boiled eggs hard to peel? try this! Let me know if it works 4 U.

I put my eggs in the fridge right after gathering to keep them fresh longer, but when it comes to boiling a fresh egg and trying to peel it it turns out to be a nightmare. I tried all kinds of things and finally I found my solution to making peeling easy, it's very simple, I put my eggs on the counter for four or five days before I boil them and they peel like a dream. Hope this helps some of you, try it, you'll love it. I tried it with a dozen eggs and all were very easy to peel!

Good luck, let me know if it works for you!

I'll give this a try - someone had recommended piercing them with a pin. They were better, but still not good. It's rare for us to have eggs that are 4 or 5 days old, though.

I do not refrigerate our eggs....some that I had gotten from the farmers market that were washed and refrigerated...and did not leave out to warm up before boiling were a nightmare to peel.

The way I boil eggs now is a BREEZE to peel! I bring water to a boil and after it is boiling I place eggs in boiling water...boil for 12 minutes, then immediately take eggs out with slotted spoon into a bowl of ice water. Let them cool down then they peel sooooo easily!

you are so right though! Room temperature eggs are the KEY!!
