Quick-Peel An Egg - FAIL

My attempt at quick-peeling an egg by removing both ends of the shell and blowing. Makes a mess but doesn't give you a nice whole egg when finished. Maybe you have to use white eggs. . .

When you crack the ends of the eggs, blow into the least 'hollow' end. Also, gently sqeeze the fingers closest to your mouth. Over or undercooked eggs won't work smoothly.

Ah, so there is a technique. I'll keep that in mind if I ever try this again.

lol, did u put the egg on cold water after boiling it?

[ladd2219]

I don't remember.

You cooked it wrong i guess? Because good hard boiled eggs are kinda moist inside and it doesn't stick quite much to its shell...

[ladd2219]

Probably. I think I am pretty good at cooking in general, but for some reason I just can't do eggs. I've even managed to mess up scrambled eggs.

@ladd2219 im not so great with eggs either so you're not alone :D

I've tried this and had trouble too but I was told that the water you cook the eggs in will make a difference. We have well water so there are a lot of minerals. I was told to either use purified water or put baking soda in the water to make the egg not stick to the shell as much. I guess it changes the PH level or something (kinda like using a water softener). I haven't tried it yet.
