Peeling FRESH hard boiled eggs? Tips?

[Kat2141]

I put them straight into boiling water to save cooking time but when they are done boiling I immediately throw out the hot water and fill the pot with cold water to cool them down rapidly. After a minute or so that water is lukewarm, so I throw it out again and put in fresh cold water. After that, the eggs are almost cold and peel easily, even if they are fresh from the coop. The key is cooling them down right away. Once I forgot it and the shells were almost impossible to get off.

I'm with you... Mine go into boiling water for 15 minutes (they are fairly large eggs and it isn't a real HARD boil) then I drain the hot off, fill the pan with cold, drain and repeat. I tend to peel them right away and they are generally pretty easy. If you can let them be a week or so old, it can even easier but this still works with fresh ones too.

I’m team Instant pot for boiled eggs

Today I was pressed for time and had some "old" eggs, meaning 3 days old. I put them in a pan with water and our drop in egg timer thingy, and when they were at medium/hard, put them in the ice bath for 5 minutes then dried and in the fridge, and they peeled pretty good!
