Stupid egg question.

BRETTO Posts: 201 Joined: 2002/05/25	2002/08/19, 12:03 PM When peeling hard boiled eggs, sometimes the shells come right off; other times I spend forever picking off little micro-pieces. The shell seems to stick to that clear layer of skin. If you peel that off the shell comes right off with it, but sometimes that is impossible. Is there some part of the cooking/cooling process that affects an egg's "peelability" or is it the type of egg or what? Eggs from the same batch have different peelability factors. Anybody here have any suggestions? Or should Bretto just get a life and worry about more important things? :0)

Found egg whites in a carton works great pour it int pan cook eat great. Other solution peel while hot under cool water asuming you do this to discard the yoke you can also try omege 3 eggs these are great you can eat the yoke next to no fat the chicken are fed flax seed instead of grain so the cholesteral is the good kind.

I was sceptical at first but there ok. And it sure beats separating the yokes lots of protein I can get the same protein in three omega 3 eggs I would get from 8 egg whites with only 3.5g of fat. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new.

Then either under running water or in the pot filled with cold water peel. Try that! -------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!

What I do is to turn off the heat when the water is boiling and then I leave the eggs in the hot water for around 20 mins. So nice and eeeeeasy to peel afterwards..... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
