I totally trusted you and boiled 2 dozen eggs... AND IT WORKED! Flawlessly. Every single one came out perfectly. Thank you!!!

Makes complete sense! Boiling the egg causes it to expand against the shell, and the ice bath causes it to contract from the shell!

Im 72 and you just taught an old dog a new trick. Thank you. 😊

Great info on boiling eggs. The best part is no obnoxious music in the back ground.

I love your method. I peel them next to the sink so I can rinse them off after I remove the shell. I HATE finding even a tiny piece of shell when eating them. Great lesson. Thank you!

12 mins for devilled eggs for the win! Thanks so much for this man! The ice water cooling for 15 mins is the kicker, i'll never screw up another boiled egg.

My wife and I have tried all kinds of methods to get the eggs to peel cleanly and nothing worked consistently until we learned about steaming them about 2 years ago. We steam a dozen at a time for 15-17 minutes and then into ice water until they are cool and have done dozens of eggs so far and every single one was easy to peel. I was amazed. We like deviled eggs and a clean peel is crucial. It also doesn't matter in the least if the eggs are old or new.

All I have to say is OMG, all my life I have been making hard boiled eggs the wrong way. Never in food service so was ignorant of this simple stupid method to perfect HB eggs. Now folks say that you should use older eggs..Today I bought fresh eggs and tried this method . Boiled😢😢 the water ..Then into the pot, 12 minutes ..Removed into ice water 15 minutes . Crack and roll shell literally fell off. Perfect. Made my egg salad ..absolutely delicious. Thank you Thank you Thank you. At 73 should have watched this a long time ago..LOL

Just did 10 minute boil and left the eggs in ice water for at least 15 minutes. Most perfect eggs I’ve ever had. Shells came off like a dream! Thank

[jackdotzman]

Really appreciate the trouble you went to to cook the eggs. We have always put eggs in boiling water for 12 minutes then into a bowl of ice water like you did, and it works great. What I enjoyed watching you do was the 8 minute through 13 minute cook time and the differences for each time. If you’re going to just enjoy eating a hard boiled egg, 8 minutes. Deviled eggs, egg salad, 12 minute egg. Great demonstration, thank you. From Missouri

One thing NONE of these " easy peel eggs " videos tell you is that the fresher the egg, the harder it is to peel. Google if you don't beleve it , but I've learned from experience, and I ALWAYS peel my eggs under running water . It helps to keep the membrane separated from the egg and it keeps the egg clean from shell pieces .

My retired chef brother taught me to steam the eggs. I bring the water in the bottom of the steamer to a boil, add the top of the steamer with the eggs in it, cover and steam for 12 minutes and then into an ice bath. Works every time.

This is the most perfect instruction to boil an egg and get perfect results. Simply put perfect.

In the 60's, mom would make me soft boiled eggs. She would hit it with a butter knife, pull it in half and scoop both halves out with same knife (no shell fragments). Then she would put a small pad of butter on it with salt and I would chop them with my fork then put that on buttered toast. The eggs were still hot. I've never been able to do that.

[rosafonseca]

I really appreciate this video! I love how you demo'd from 6-13 minutes! Thank you so much! No frills, no nonsense! 👍🏼

[patriciajablonski]

I was always told the fresher the egg, the harder to peel. Working in a restaurant the cook told me his Italian grandmother had a fool proof egg peeling method. Freshly laid egg or not. Pour Lots of salt into the water. Well, it works every time for me.

[MarcoGarcia-blww]

I just made the best hard-boiled eggs in my life; Thanks a million. I cooked about 8 with one giving me some guff till I smacked it around a bit.

[cuppadan]

Finally! The first repeatable way to make perfect easy to peel eggs, from soft to hard. Thank you so much!!

[hurdygurdyguy]

I bought one those little egg cookers, the kind that uses steam to cook the eggs. I love it!! Works like a charm and the shells peel off so easily!! I'll never go back to boiling!

[crystalheart]

I have always had trouble with hard boiled eggs being hard to peel. I followed your instructions and it was the first time I've had perfect hard boiled eggs that were easy to peel.
Thank you.🙏💙
