[Eggdrop]

Can someone please tell me what the trick is to peeling hard boiled eggs?? Everytime I make them by the time I am done peeling them there is more egg stuck to the shell then there is to the egg I was peeling.

It's a fresh egg thing.

Here's some links to several threads that will help give you ideas on how to avoid this in the future.

leave them to age a bit in the fridge before boiling them to eat - usually a week is enough, two weeks is better.

fresh eggs when boiled, don't peel very well.

i peel fresh eggs very well what i do is put them in ice after 9 minutes cooking on medium-high and i put them in ice for about 10 to 15 minutes and then tap both ends with a spoon and roll it on the counter and it peels better than a banana i use to do it differently.

So the only down side to fresh eggs is they are terrible to peel when hard boiled......I can live with that! Thank you all so much!
