Excellent!!!! I just had the easiest time ever peeling a hard boiled egg. I followed the directions exactly and this technique worked like a charm. This is the way I will hard boil eggs from now on. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for this most needed recipe. We raise our own chickens and always have fresh eggs which are extremely difficult to peel after boiling. This recipe is perfect! **This was saved in my Top 2008 Recipes Cookbook!

So glad to see this posted. I do mine slightly differently. I cover with cold water, bring to a boil covered. Turn off flame and let them sit for 20 minutes. Then I just run the whole pot under cold water, tipping out the warm water until it feels cold. I put a piece of paper towel on the counter and take an egg at a time and hit it on its top and bottom hard enough to give the shells good cracked ends. Then I gently roll that egg under my hand on the paper towel, not to hard, and the shell just slips off once the membrane breakes. Dip it back in the pot for a quick rince and place aside. Continue with next egg, refreshing cold water if necessary but usually min is ok. But I only boil maybe 5 at a time at most. Have you ever tried roasting an egg? The egg is so creamy after a long slow roast. Hugs...Annie
