Help w/ Boiling Fresh Laid Eggs

[SeaAggieShelby15]

Should we not put fresh eggs in the fridge to be able to boil them quicker? Or have any helpful hints on how to?

Thank you,

if the are fresh I ALWAYS leave them on the counter for a couple/three days before hard boiling if you are going to peel them. Funny isn't it we have/keep chickens for "fresh eggs" and then they are actually to fresh for easy peeling.

I also put a dribble of vinegar in the water incase one cracks while cooking helps to stop you from having egg drop soup in the kettle/pan

i do the vinegar trick too.. and i can never seem to get a clean hard boiled egg anymore.. luckily my hubby just likes the yolks mixed in things like potato salad.. the whites get smashed back up and given back to my girls..

I steam them and then put into cold water

I use a squirt of lemon in the water to make them easy to peel

I just bring my water to a boil, add the eggs with a spoon, and after they are done I put them in ice cold water to cool. I don't have any problems.

Thank you, my girls started laying so I stopped purchasing eggs, recalling boiled fresh eggs are a pain to peel. It's starting to cool so may start leaving the collected eggs on the counter, it's warm & humid here/HI so I keep them in the frig. Will try the vinegar and lemon and double dipping.

Steam them in a metal colander inside a big enough pot you can still cover it. Dont submerge them put enough water so you pot doesnt run dry. Cook 20-22 min
