What is the trick to fixing hard boiled eggs?

[weloveourchicks]

ok, we are getting alot of eggs now so I decided to fix some hard boiled eggs for breakfast. I did what I always do with store bought eggs but none of them peeled well at all.

What's the trick to fixing hard boiled eggs with fresh eggs? Anyone?

Go to the recipes forum and there are a ton of threads about that and everyone's suggestions.

I never try to hard boil fresh eggs, I keep them in the fridge a few weeks and then they peel good. I have heard that this works but have not tried it yet-bring them to a boil, turn heat off and let them set for 8 minutes. then put in ice water.

The only thing I've found to work is go to the store and buy some "old" white eggs

to boil fresh eggs. get water boiling. POKE a hole in the BIG END of the eoo with a needle or a poking tool. you can get the tool for less than 3.00, below. boil for 10 minuits. take off fire & let sit for 15 minuits. then cool with cold water & they will peel perfect & easy every time I did 2 doz that was gathered this morning & they ALL peeled perfect!!
& easy to!!
If you need a hole poker (& you do) do a search for this
